Prefab Quality

Conventional vs Steel

Why Choose Steel Structures Over Conventional Construction?

  1. Design Flexibility: Modern advancements and prefabrication make steel structures highly adaptable to innovative designs.
  2. Cost-Effective: Reduced construction time and lower maintenance expenses lead to significant cost savings.
  3. Faster Construction: Steel buildings are 30% quicker to erect due to prefabricated components and efficient assembly.
  4. Eco-Friendly: Sustainable and green, steel structures are better for the environment.
  5. Low Maintenance: Insulated and resistant to pests and rodents, steel structures ensure hassle-free upkeep.
  6. Spacious and Lightweight: Steel’s strength allows larger spans and open layouts while reducing foundation weight.
  7. Expandable and Modifiable: Easily adapt your building with steel’s flexible design.
  8. Fire Resistance: Designed with fire-retardant materials for enhanced safety.
  9. Energy Efficient: Excellent insulation reduces energy costs and improves efficiency.
  10. Durability: Steel’s robust nature extends the lifespan of the building.
  11. Earthquake Resistant: Ideal for high seismic zones, steel structures offer superior safety
