Architects and engineers have to incorporate materials and designs to fit into a fixed budget. We have a lot of materials with specific functions to choose from for building construction in the current age. However, steel remains the best construction material because of its wide variety of benefits.
Aggressive Tube Bending has been providing structural steel fabrication since 1987. Building technology has progressed a lot since we started, but steel has remained the best construction material throughout all these years. In this blog, we’ll discuss why you should use structural steel fabrication for your building.
Take a look at the benefits of structural steel:
Durable
Steel is highly durable and completely resistant to fire. Steel can stand strong for centuries, unlike other materials subject to rot, rust, knotting, and other fundamental flaws. As structural steel is a factory-manufactured product, it is consistent in its quality, granting the same level of durability to the entire building structure. Given the reputation of steel, most manufacturers extend a warranty of a minimum of 20 years with their steel kits.
Cost-effective
Of all the building materials, structural steel provides the best benefits to cost ratio, making it easy to incorporate into the budget. It has a low initial cost for construction and also reduces the cost of the foundation and facade. Also, it all but eliminates the need for maintenance.
Versatile
Structural steel fabrication allows a wide variety of design possibilities. It can be curved and rolled to fit into any design. It can also be reconfigured and adjusted to accommodate future renovations easily. This allows architects and designers to plan unique structures without having to worry about material compliance.
High load-bearing capacity
All the high-rise buildings use structural steel throughout the construction to ensure the building is strong. Anything short of a natural disaster of a tremendous magnitude cannot make a steel structured building collapse. Using structural steel to construct your house will assure you that your first and second floors are not going to fall through.
Eco friendly
One hundred percent of the steel used in building construction can be recycled when the building is torn down.
Saves time
Nowadays, structural steel fabrication is done using advanced computer-aided technology, which eliminates errors in manufacturing. This allows the building construction to progress without any delays in the schedule. Structural steel is fabricated in a manner that makes it very easy to assemble, making the transition of construction processes seamless.
