ENGINEERING

We have been exploring the light steel construction system since the beginning of our operation, precisely because we were looking for a more efficient and sustainable system that would reduce environmental impact and maximize the efficiency of productive processes.

In addition to providing high performance in structural, thermal, and acoustic levels, this system leads us towards a circular economy that allows for the reduction of natural resource usage and the reuse and recycling of materials.

Services we provide in the area of construction and operation:

Architecture and engineering projects
Integration and coordination of specialties
Adaptation of masonry projects to LSF
Execution projects and panelization of LSF structures
Specialization in project management for LSF construction
Construction and rehabilitation in LSF system

The advantages of LSF construction

Reduced water usage

Reduction of material waste due to high level of industrialization and the fact that it is a dry construction process, using a minimal amount of water.

Recycled and recyclable materials

Use of recyclable (steel) and non-combustible (rock wool and gypsum) materials in its design.
In terms of the building’s lifespan, the materials can all be recycled again during its dismantling.

Speed and quality in construction

Reduction in the construction period, saving on labor and investing in the quality of materials.
Greater precision in assembly and construction, resulting in less maintenance during the building’s lifespan.
The use of components with strict quality control that adhere to international performance standards, ensuring the quality and durability of the system.
Simplified integration with other specialties.
High thermal and acoustic performance.
Anti-seismic system, due to the high structural redundancy, in which the load transmission system is composed of a large number of structural elements.

Why LSF?

The building structures that use the Light Steel Framing (LSF) construction system stand out because they address and effectively bridge the ecological gaps existing in conventional methods.

Parameters related to structural, thermal, acoustic, fire resistance, and sustainability performance are decisive factors in choosing a construction method.

In comparison to the traditional concrete and masonry solution, the LSF system exhibits excellent thermal performance, good acoustic performance, and excellent indicators of durability, sustainability, and eco-efficiency.

The challenge in choosing a construction method also involves analyzing costs from a balanced life cycle perspective, rather than just focusing on investment costs.

When energy and water can be saved, durability can be increased, and productivity can be enhanced, the sustainability characteristics of the project and materials are easy to justify.

LSF stands out as a potential construction system of the future, due to its superior level of industrialization and its effective addressing and complementing of existing methods, using materials with more sustainable life cycles.
