Advantages and Benefits of Steel
Advantages and Benefits of Steel
Steel is the preferred material for building long-lasting, dependable structures.
Steel is the preferred material for building long-lasting, dependable structures.
The Pros of Steel
Affordable, high-quality and long-lasting.
Enhanced fire safety, steel is non-combustible and
framing members can resist up to 1800°F.
Resistant to mold, mildew, insects and termites.
Maintains stability in wind or seismic regions and handles
weather well.
Does not rot, crack, split, warp, decay or emit toxicity.
100% recyclable inorganic. Less than 1% waste during
production and installation and no off gassing or toxicity.
The Cons of Wood
Cost is increasing while supply is decreasing.
Flammable material that contributes to over 374,000
residential fires annually with over $7 billion in damages.
Attracts mold, mildew, insects and termites.
Structurally sensitive material which is further strained in
more extreme climates and weather conditions.
Prone to warp, split, crack, rot, decay, mildew and mold.
Environmentally destructive. The average US sized home
needs more than 34 trees worth of wood.

The Building Science Behind Our Affordable Housing
The Building Science Behind Our Affordable Housing
Pre-engineerings wall, roof and floor systems (LEGO).
Low-maintenance designs using fiber cement exterior claddings and steel framing to create a forever home.
Energy efficient window systems installed.
Next generation continuous insulated structural sheathing.
Spray foam batt insulation for clean air environment.
Built offsite in an automated environment and assembled at the job site for scalable rapid construction.
Automation creates factory level precision and highest possible quality levels for construction by eliminating human construction inconsistencies.
All materials are procured directly from our manufacturing partners, yielding 30% savings through avoidance of distribution channel mark-ups.
