Steel construction

Our engineering office designs the steel frames. They are fabricated and protected in the workshop, delivered in containers and then bolted on site. Steel is our third rapid construction system, alongside precast concrete and timber.

Buildings erected in a matter of weeks

The structure is fabricated during earthworks and foundations. On site, all that remains is to lift, bolt and clad. Time and cost are controlled from the design stage.

  • Portal frames, trusses and lattice girders for long spans with no intermediate columns
  • Steel sheet roofing and cladding, single-skin or insulated panels
  • Composite floors for multi-storey buildings
  • Demountable, extendable and recyclable frames

What we build

Warehouses and logistics platforms

Large open volumes, loading docks, racked storage.

Factories, workshops and hangars

Production buildings with crane runways for overhead cranes, agricultural and aircraft hangars, exhibition halls.

Hotels

Steel-framed hotels and residences: rooms, restaurants and function spaces, erected rapidly.

Offices and retail units

Multi-storey frames, shopping centres, showrooms and service stations.

Public facilities

Covered markets, sports halls, schools and health centres.

Steel water towers

Elevated tanks in kit form, from 15 to 300 m³. View the process

Our method

One team, from structural calculation through to acceptance.

  1. Studies

    Load analysis, Eurocode 3 calculation, BIM model and execution drawings by our engineering office.

  2. Fabrication

    Cutting, welding, galvanising or anti-corrosion painting suited to tropical and coastal climates, workshop quality control.

  3. Logistics

    Marked packing, container transport, just-in-time delivery to site.

  4. Erection

    Lifting, bolting, roofing and cladding, then connection to water and energy networks.

Why steel

Speed

Ready-to-install components: the site lasts just a few weeks.

Long spans

Column-free volumes that are easy to fit out.

Lightness

Smaller foundations and economical transport, even to remote sites.

Adaptability

The building can be extended, modified or dismantled.

Durability

Long-lasting corrosion protection, limited maintenance.

Recyclable material

Steel can be recycled indefinitely with no loss of quality.
