Steel frame construction is a revolutionary construction method in which buildings are made using steel constructions. This is a framework of slender steel profiles that together form the basis for the walls, floors and windows in a building. This creates a steel skeleton, after which the metal building can be finished simply and quickly.
The specific dimensions are easy to adjust, which means that almost any construction project can be realized using steel frame metal buildings. All profiles are prefabricated metal building and are easy to transport and assemble thanks to their light weight. This results in a considerably shorter construction time on the construction site.
Steel frame construction is a contemporary variation on timber frame construction and prefab concrete. In countries such as United States and Sweden, steel frame construction is a well-known construction method. In the United States, metal buildings construction is still used on a relatively small scale, but it is quickly gaining popularity among clients, architects and executing parties.
Steel frame construction as an alternative to timber frame construction?
Steel frame construction is increasingly seen as a better alternative to timber frame construction . It combines the advantages of Rapidset Buildings with the advantages of steel: lighter in weight, more dimensionally stable thanks to shrink-free materials, less sensitive to climate influences and resistant to vermin and fungi. Larger spans and projections are also feasible.
An additional distinction with prefab concrete is the weight and the shorter delivery time, because there are no molds. The additional advantage of this is a wider design freedom with small numbers at relatively low costs.

The advantages of steel frame construction:
Steel frame construction is an extremely fast construction method because a lot of work takes place in the production hall.
Lightweight construction: The steel frames are lightweight, much lighter than traditional construction. This has several advantages, including that the foundation can be made much lighter.
Sustainable: The construction is completely reusable, there is little waste during production and it is easy to build airtight.
Strong: The construction is even resistant to heavy storms, longhorn beetles and other vermin cannot damage the construction (unlike timber frame construction).
Cost-saving: Save up to 30% on shell construction costs. For example, less labor is needed on the construction site.
Architectural freedom: Any shape can be realized and large spans are possible. Also suitable for more complex projects.
Meets all requirements: The design of cold-rolled steel profiles meets the requirements of Eurocodes 3, and the system meets all the requirements of the Building.
Production takes place under controlled weather conditions, regardless of rain, wind or frost. This is followed by rapid assembly on site, without drying times.
Tidy construction site: As a result of less work to be done on the construction site and less storage of materials is necessary.
Extremely diverse: It can be used in utility construction, but also for the construction of homes or for topping up buildings, in other words adding an extra (lightweight) construction layer.
