Technical Specifications

Galvanized light-gauge steel profiles are typically used at house and villa scale. For industrial buildings, a steel construction system is assessed according to span and loading. Connections, anchors and bracing elements are configured from the structural analysis.

The external wall comprises a steel spine, an insulation layer and façade cladding. OSB, fibre cement, Bordex or similar board applications may be selected according to the project.

Internal walls are resolved with light-gauge steel or suitable partition systems according to the spatial layout and service routes. Gypsum board and similar linings can be varied to meet acoustic expectations.

Thermal, acoustic, waterproofing and moisture control are treated as separate layers. Insulation thickness and material type are determined by climate, occupancy and wall build-up.

Roof form, pitch, covering and insulation detailing follow the architectural design. A light-steel truss or suitable roof structure is resolved together with waterproofing and the selected covering.

Frame type, glazing and threshold details are selected according to energy, security and use. Opening sizes are coordinated with the structural system.

Lighting, sockets, distribution boards and low-voltage needs are configured around the project programme. Service routes are considered together with wall and floor layers.

Potable water, waste water and wet rooms are planned according to building type. Services are more compact in container units and expanded around the occupancy programme in houses and facilities.

Internal and external surfaces are completed with primer and paint layers suited to the selected cladding system. Colour and texture decisions are confirmed during architectural design.

The engineering approach follows calculation and detailing principles based on TS and Eurocode. The applicable standard set is determined by building class and project conditions; this page provides a general framework only.
