In the case of the Prefab lot steel frames are galvanized for durability and are assembled on-site made by you or supervised, also finishing types allow easy and clean access at any part of the building for further maintenance.

What type of foundation Steel Frame Structure need?

• Due to the light weight of the Steel Frame Structure, there is a wide range of foundations that could be used, like Slab, Pad, Pile, Concrete foundation, and more. In the case of the Upper floor (See project page), the loading walls of any actual building could be the perfect foundation for the Steel Framing Annex.
