Multi Storey Steel Building
Multi storey steel building construction is well placed to respond to various trends in the residential & housing sector, particularly when using off shore manufacturing technology and in the medium to high-rise residential building sector, where speed of Construction is important. In housing, multi storey buildings are increasingly preferred in urban locations in order to minimize the building ‘footprint’ and land use.
Elegant steel structures. Multi storey steel building constructions will be carried over mostly for stadiums, airports and other commercial complexes. This will have an attractive elevation view after completion of steel construction.
Advantages of Multi Storey Steel Building
The fact that multi storey steel building construction can reduce construction time by up to 50% is the main reason for its popularity. This means that while a concrete multi storey building may take years to construct, a multi storey steel building can be completed in less than a year. Because of the shorter construction period, site management costs can easily be reduced by 20% to 30%, resulting in cost savings in the overall building. Steel-framed systems offer flexibility, better quality checks, and safer construction due to prefabrication and precision design at a PEB manufacturing facility. Since steel fabrication takes place off-site in a controlled manufacturing environment, all-weather construction is possible for a PEB multi storey building, unlike concrete work on-site, which is highly reliant on good weather. Due to the high level of prefabrication, there is also a low need for on-site material storage.
