Steel frame construction
What is steel frame construction?
Steel frame construction is a revolutionary construction method in which buildings are made using steel structures. The specific dimensions are easily customisable, so almost any building project can be realised using steel frame construction.
Steel frame construction is becoming increasingly popular
Nowadays, there is a demand for sustainable and lighter construction. There is also a desire to build faster in order to reduce construction time and costs.
Why steel framing from Ripstaal
Ripstaal Steel framing is the point of contact for those looking for steel frames of the best quality. With more than 24 years of experience in the field of assembly building,
How does the construction process work in steel frame construction?
The construction process in steel frame construction consists of engineering, fabrication in the production hall, transport and assembly on site.
Prefab house construction with steel framing
The steel-frame construction technique can be used to build unique prefabricated houses and also large quantities of terraced houses.
Timber-frame or steel-frame construction
Increasingly, steel frame construction is seen as a better alternative to timber frame construction. Lighter in weight, more dimensionally stable thanks to shrink-proof materials, less sensitive to climatic influences and resistant to pests and fungi.
What is prefabricated construction?
The word precast is short for prefabrication. So it means that the building materials are made in advance at a production facility, eliminating the need to make them to size on site.
Building a shell house
Want to build a brand new house, but at the same time save on labour costs? Then building a shell house is an excellent choice. Here, we take care of the structural work in steel frame construction.
Frequently asked questions about steel frame construction
Prefabricated steel-frame construction offers many advantages. Compared to traditional construction methods, things work slightly differently. Therefore, please find below the frequently asked questions on building with our construction system.
As a first step, we need a design from you, or from your architect. Based on this design, we will work everything out and discuss together what the options are and how we will proceed. Once everything is approved, we will start producing the steel frame.
The final cost of steel frame construction varies depending on the specific project. However, steel frame construction is a relatively inexpensive construction method, with our system you can save up to 30% on structural costs compared to traditional construction methods. Are you curious about the possibilities or costs of steel frame construction for your project? Then get in touch with Ripstaal Steel Framing.
Every construction project requires a different approach. This depends not only on the style of the property, but also on the materials available and the amount of time the construction project may take. Is time scarce or are there few craftsmen who can assist in the construction? Then prefabricated building with steel frame construction offers a solution. For that, you've come to the right place at Ripstaal Steel Framing.
The preliminary process is always a bit more labour-intensive with prefabricated construction. To keep everything on track, more attention needs to be paid to engineering and the preliminary phase requires some extra drawing work. This extra time and attention easily pays off in the execution phase. After all, construction on the building site itself is many times faster. In both financial and practical terms, the advantages of steel frame construction far outweigh the disadvantages, especially when compared with traditional construction. In short, steel-frame construction is the ideal construction method.
Because the words are similar, the difference between the building systems steel frame construction and steel frame construction is not always obvious. Although steel accounts for the largest share in both building construction, the structures are not the same. For instance, steel-frame construction is often lightweight, unlike steel-frame construction. In addition, they consist of different joints (steel frame construction is welded and steel frame construction is assembled using self-tapping screws or nuts and bolts). For more information on the differences between these two building structures, feel free to call or email us.
This is a misconception. The steel frame can actually be insulated well and higher insulation values can be achieved compared to the same wall thickness in a traditional construction method. However, higher attention must be paid to thermal bridges, but we have solutions for that.
Ripstaal supplies many steel frame constructions in the Netherlands and Belgium, but our steel frames are also shipped internationally.
