LIGHT GAUGE STEEL FRAME BUILDING
Light Gauge Steel
Manufacturer in India
Light Gauge Steel Frame (LGSF), also known as Cold Formed Steel (CFS), is regarded as the best among conventional construction methods to execute infrastructure projects within the stipulated budget and at a speed that will ensure the timely delivery of projects. Furthermore, since LGSF is a Pre-engineered method of construction manufactured in factory-controlled conditions, there are no site-related issues such as unavailability of material, weather conditions, a lack of personnel, or likelihood of improper construction. Some countries embracing LGSF are the USA, Canada, Western and Eastern Europe, China, Austria, New Zealand, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Gulf countries, and Algeria.

Advantages of LGSF
The merits of LGSF encompass the following:
Faster & Precise
Construction
Due to the light weight of steel frames, construction takes 1/3rd the time of conventional building methods.
Stronger Wind
Resistance
They are designed to withstand extreme wind speeds up to 240 kilometres per hour.
Corrosion &
Termite Resistant
They are pre-coated with zinc/galvalume alloy to prevent corrosion, oxidation, and termite-induced damage.
Sustainable
Technology
They are energy-efficient and made of recyclable steel and gypsum boards. Also, they reduce waste disposal and removal costs.
Cost
effective
LGSF reduces construction costs by eliminating raw materials and reducing the number of site workers. Also, steel has a high resale value.
Excellent Seismic
Performance
Their ductility, elasticity, and lightweight features enable them to absorb earthquake shocks better than conventional structures.
Easily
Remodelable
LGSF partition walls can quickly be shuffled, detached or even replaced without heavy tools or equipment.
Design
Flexibility
They offer a high strength-to-weight ratio and space optimisation, making them adaptable to any shape and insulated with any material.
DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
Proactively envisioned multimedia based expertise and cross-media growth strategies. Seamlessly visualize quality intellectual capital without superior collaboration and idea-sharing.
WHAT IS SMART GREEN LIGHT BUILDING?
Smart Green Light Building is a faster way of construction with steel by primarily using cold form sections and dry construction methodology.
WHAT IS THE LIFE SPAN OF A SMART GREEN LIGHT BUILDING?
Theoretically, it is designed for upto 50 years but practically it is much more, However this systems life span can be increased upto 100 years.
WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF FLOORS WE CAN DESIGN?
Using the cold formed profile of 150 mm width, we can design up to G+3 storeys.
HOW SAFE IS SMART GREEN LIGHT BUILDING AGAINST EARTHQUAKE AND WIND?
This system is designed as per Indian and International standards. This takes care of all these lateral forces at the time of design and hence it is completely safe.
DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
Broadly speaking, design is a process of creating the description of a new facility, usually represented by detailed plans and specifications; constructions.

WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM SPAN THAT A SMART GREEN LIGHT BUILDING CAN TAKE?
If spanned with a truss, it can take up to 15 meters while spanning with joists allows 5 meters. However loading criteria governs the permissible span.
FAQ’S (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS)
HOW SAFE IS SMART GREEN LIGHT BUILDING AGAINST EARTHQUAKE AND WIND?
This system is designed as per Indian and International standards. This takes care of all these lateral forces at the time of design and hence it is completely safe.
HOW SAFE IS SMART GREEN LIGHT BUILDING AGAINST CORROSION AND FIRE?
This system use high tensile steel of 550MPa and Galvanisation of 275GSM. This makes this system corrosion resistant even in coastal areas. Since Smart Green Light Building use fire retardant material like steel and fibre cement boards etc., the complete system becomes fire retardant.
WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OVER BRICK WALL CONSTRUCTION?
Smart Green Light Building is a fast and convenient system since it is pre-engineered with major components being factory made and allows dry construction. It take only 1/3 of the time in construction as compared to masonry. Smart Green Light Building have less wall thickness which saves and thus allows more space. It is approximately 1/3rd in weight of brickwork and safe for installation on rooftops.
WHAT ARE THE KINDS OF FINISHES THAT ONE CAN USE ON SMART GREEN LIGHT BUILDING?
Any kind of finish is possible, from paint to stone cladding. It is recommended that all finishing specifications be finalised at the time of design of structure.
HOW ARE ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING FIXTURES FIXED ON SMART GREEN LIGHT BUILDING?
Fixing details are provided as per the drawings and details provided by consultants. All type of fixtures is possible of Smart Green Light Building.
