Steel Frame Construction News
Key developments, expert interviews, technical features and the latest steel frame construction industry news.
Also known as 'skeleton frame' construction, steel frame construction consists the use of vertical steel columns and horizontal I-beams, constructed in a rectangular grid to support the floors, roof and walls of a building which are all attached to the frame.
There are multiple reasons why steel frame construction makes an attractive building option from start to finish. From it's sustainable approach to its affordability and durability.
A high strength, low weight construction process coupled with it's ease of installation and ability to span large distances make this construction technique a clear choice for developers looking to harness the efficiencies of offsite and modular construction techniques.
We cover the latest news and insights from leading steel frame construction specialists highlighting the key benefits of this modern method of construction.
