While uncommon in North America, steel has been proven to be one of the more cost effective and durable materials on the market for framing. At Buildsmart we have listed some of the benefits of this amazing material
Add value to your Build By
Constructing With Steel
Steel framing is the best way to add long term value to your home. contact us to get a price quote for your project and dicsover the fastest way to realize your dream.
Construction costs are affected by the rising of commodity prices.
Construction is complex and there is a lack of maintenaning proper quality of construction projects.
Building construction is complex and there is a lack of skilled on-site labour for this industry.
Unexpected and heavy weather conditions can delay the completion of construction.
Garbage and waste increase project costs and negatively impacts the environment.
FAST
All of the steel components are fabricated in our warehouse, so we can build your home faster than a traditional wood-frame home.
Strong
Steel structures are more durable than wood and it will help you to build construction which will persists life-long.
Non-combustible
Steel is incapable of igniting and burning when subjected to fire. So you can feel safe by choosing steel as the material for your home.
Fixed Price
It is possible to provide an accurate estimation for the entire project before beginning. No more guessing for the prices!
No Bugs, Rust or Mold
Our steel is galvanized and will not rust or grow mold. In addition, there are no bugs or termites that eat steel.
Easy to Install
All of our steel studs have multiple openings and floor joists are latticed, making wiring and piping much easier than in wood homes.
Accurate
Steel walls are perfectly straight which means you will never have any warping or shrinkage issues. No drywall screws popping out anymore!
Fixed Ceilings heights
Build any ceiling height for the same cost. Steel construction can provide fixed ceiling heights. No need to worry about the escalation of prices.
Clean Jobsite
Almost zero waste at the jobsite. No cleanup crew is required during framing, reducing the cost and time associated with cleanup.
Recycleable
We mostly use recyclable steel. At the end of a home’s life cycle, all of the steel can be recycled. No more tons of waste for construction.
Hassle-free
If you use steel in construction, you don’t need to worry about the perfection in design and measurement.
Longevity
A steel frameed house will last more than twice that of a wood, making it a better long-term investment with less repairing costs.
Competitive Pricing
A home framed out of steel is cheaper to build than one out of wood. It reduces the overall cost of construction in different aspects.
Better Investment
New homeowners are willing to pay more for a home built from steel, giving you a better return on your investment.
Lower Insurance Rates
Square One Insurance Services (www.squareone.ca) located in Vancouver, BC is providing lower insurance rates for steel-framed homes.

Trees Saved
Downside of Timber
MOLD & ROT
Wood cannot provide a fixed structure and it will mould and rot with time.
COMBUSTABLE
Wood is combustible and will spread fire throughout the structure.
NON-RECYCLABLE
It is a difficult and complex process to recycle wood.
DEFOESTATION
Collecting wood from the forest will contribute to deforestation.
HARMFUL TO ECOLOGY
Susceptible to terminates pests and rodents.
SLOW PROCESS
Swells, twists, bows and shrinks create delays, inefficiencies.
LOW RESISTANCE
Wood is low in seismic and wind resistance.
GENERATES WASTE
Wood generates significant building waste and creates a messy construction site.
Downside of Concrete
EXPENSIVE
The material costs are higher for concrete buildings.
FABRICATION ISSUE
Must be fabricated into structural panels at the building site.
HEAVY FOUNDATION
Concrete requires a heavy and expensive foundation to support the structure.
SHORING SYSTEM
The concrete structure requires a shoring system between the floors.
VARIABLE CONSISTENCY
Concrete structures can have varying consistencies which are not as actively regulated.
CURING TIMES
Curing time for concrete structures can be greatly affected by weather conditions.
INSTALLATION COSTS
Installation cost is higher for concrete structures.
MORE MANPOWER
Concrete construction needs more manpower than steel construction.
JOIN THE GREEN MOVEMENT
Make The World A Better Place to Live!
Buildsmartr believes that your small initiative towards making the world greener will make a huge difference. Constructing houses with steel will save a lot of trees and eventually it will help to eradicate the issues like CO2 emission, green-house effects, global warming etc.
