Three Advantages of Steel Structure Construction

Steel is one of the most sustainable construction materials. Its strength and durability coupled with its ability to be recycled, again and again, without ever losing quality make it truly compatible with long term sustainable development.

There are three key advantages of Steel Structure Construction:

  1. Speed of Construction

Steel structures can be erected speedily. The predictability and accuracy of steel components speeds up the process and allows follow-on trades to get to work sooner. This deliver time saves in the build programme compared to a concrete frame. In fact, speed of erection is often one of the main criteria for selecting steel.

In many inner city projects, it is also important to reduce disruption to nearby buildings and roads. Short construction periods leads to savings in site preliminaries, earlier return on investment and reduced interest charges.

  1. Long-Life Durability

Steel-framed structures are highly durable and do not age or decay as quickly as other construction materials, lasting longer before refurbishment is required. Buildings that can be easily adapted avoid costly and environmentally harmful demolition and redevelopment. Steel’s inherent adaptability and flexibility also means that future changes or extensions – even vertically – can be carried out with minimal disruption and cost.

3.Health and Safety
Health and safety is a key business driver in construction. Offsite fabrication of components and rapid on-site assembly by skilled personnel make steel an inherently safe construction material. Industry surveys consistently demonstrate that steel is the safest material choice.
