In the global construction market, steel structure buildings stand out with unparalleled strengths compared to concrete and wood structures, perfectly meeting the demands of international projects for efficiency, safety, and sustainability.


1. Superior Performance: Safety Beyond Comparison

  • Higher strength-to-weight ratio: Steel’s strength is 5-10 times that of concrete. With the same load-bearing capacity, it’s 60% lighter, reducing foundation costs significantly.
  • Strong disaster resistance: Excellent ductility absorbs seismic energy better than concrete, and outperforms wood in withstanding typhoons and extreme weather. Design life reaches 70+ years.
  • Large-span capability: Easily achieves 20m+ clear spans without bulky columns, ideal for factories, warehouses, and exhibition halls—scenarios where concrete and wood fall short.

2. Faster Construction: Save Time & Costs Globally

  • Prefabrication & assembly: 100% factory-made components, on-site bolted installation. Construction speed is 2-3x faster than concrete, cutting project duration by 30%-50%.
  • Weather-independent: Minimal wet work avoids delays from rain or cold, critical for tight schedules in international projects.

3. Green & Sustainable: Meet Global Low-Carbon Standards

  • High recyclability: 95% of steel can be recycled without performance loss, saving 60% energy compared to raw steel production. Carbon emissions are 17% lower than concrete buildings.
  • Less waste: Construction waste is only 1/5 of concrete structures, aligning with LEED and other international green building certifications.

4. Flexible & Adaptable: Fit Diverse Global Needs

  • No load-bearing walls: 10%-15% higher space utilization than concrete, with freely adjustable layouts for factories, offices, or residential use.
  • Easy renovation: Lower modification costs (50% less than concrete/wood) for expansion or repurposing, adapting to changing business needs.
