LSF Printed using cold roll forming machinery

Light Steel Frame (LSF) components are manufactured using state-of-the-art cold roll forming machinery, which ensures high precision and consistency in the production process. This advanced manufacturing technique involves feeding steel coils through rollers at room temperature, shaping them into desired profiles with minimal material waste. The result is durable, dimensionally accurate LSF components ready for assembly.

Assembly drawing and site plans generated

Before construction begins, detailed assembly drawings and site plans are generated to guide the assembly process of Light Steel Frame (LSF) structures. These drawings provide precise instructions for the placement and connection of LSF components, ensuring efficient and accurate assembly on-site. Site plans outline the layout of the building and its surrounding environment, facilitating seamless integration of the LSF structure into the construction site.

Assembly of LSF Panels

The assembly of Light Steel Frame (LSF) panels involves the precise positioning and fastening of LSF components to create wall, floor, or roof panels. Each panel is meticulously constructed according to engineering specifications and assembly drawings, ensuring structural integrity and dimensional accuracy. LSF panel assembly is a crucial step in the construction process, laying the foundation for the overall strength and stability of the building.

Assembly of LSF components into full designed building or roof

Once LSF panels are assembled, they are integrated into the full designed building or roof structure. This assembly process involves connecting individual panels together using fasteners and other mechanical means to form the complete building framework. With careful attention to detail and quality control, the assembly of LSF components results in a resilient, high-performance building or roof system that meets or exceeds industry standards for strength, durability, and energy efficiency.

Light steel gauge frame construction is an attractive option for a wide range of construction projects, from residential homes to commercial buildings and beyond.
