The benefits of Lightweight Steel Framing include:

1. A significant reduction in foundations, foundation pilings and slab thickness due to lighter loading than bricks and blocks etc.
2. No requirement for wind posts, lintels and complicated/expensive head deflection as used with bricks and blocks as lightweight steel frame systems can easily be detailed to accommodate main frame movement/shrinkage.
3. Reduced scaffolding time and costs.
4. Faster build times/less labour intensive and therefore a significant reduction in labour costs.
5. Building is weather enclosed far quicker and so ‘follow on’ trades can be brought in much sooner.
6. Far higher U values can be achieved for same wall thickness.
7. Greater control over quality.
8. Far greener building system as lightweight steel sections can be supplied cut to length to avoid waste and all sections are made from recyclable high strength galvanised steel.
