Steel-framed construction
Steel-framed construction uses steel columns and beams to create the structural skeleton of a building. This framework provides strong support, allowing for larger open spaces and taller buildings compared to traditional wood framing. Steel is durable, resistant to pests and fire, and can withstand various weather conditions. The steel framework is usually assembled off-site and then quickly erected on-site, making construction efficient. This method is common in skyscrapers, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities due to its strength, flexibility in design, and long-term durability.
