The usage of light gauge steel structures lessens on field works, decreases material wastage and enhances the quality of the structure.

2. Speed:

Light gauge steel structures takes less construction time with comparison to bricks or concrete blocks construction. It overall saves up to 30% and 40% time for a project.

3. Strong but Lightweight:

Light gauge steel structures possess high strength to weight ratio than any other material used for constructing buildings. Due to this, a large amount of reinforcement is saved during foundation construction. Moreover, it can be easily handled and moved from one place to another.
