Steel construction of residential buildings and commercial structures
is less time consuming and affordable as compared to wood, stone or
concrete materials. Steel construction is increasingly becoming
popular across the globe and has become the preferred method for the
construction of modern residential and commercial facilities. Today
Steel constructions are placed in the top list because it protects the
structure against damages due to climatic effects such as seismic
upheavals, storms, snowfalls, etc. Modern steel constructions can
withstand or survive earthquake effects if designed with necessary
safety measures.

Steel members such as stairs, handrails, roof joists, etc are light in
weight and do not contract or expand with climate changes. Pre-
stressed or post-tensioned steel offers more strength, durability and
resistant to fire. Steel has found its use in the construction of sky-
scrappers, garages, bridges, churches, malls, dams and industrial
plants.

Steel structures can be easily conceptualized, designed or fabricated
with less worries of transportation. It never fractures, twist or
bend.

• Fire resistant
