If you are looking for speed to beat your project deadlines, cost minimization and a solid return on your investment, while being environmentally friendly, then Frametech Light gauge steel structures using Framecad Building Technology is the solution.

Our system has been well proven in design and build projects all around the world, in differing climates, extreme weather conditions and remote locations. The technology has been developed to be simple, economical to operate and 100% reliable. Structural Steel represents the highest quality building material since it is subject to rigid international standards of strength.

The frames

The steel structures are assembled lying on the ground following production.

Erecting frames

The frames are erected by hoisting/lifting them then connecting all the elements with nuts and bolts.

Alignments

Aligning and plumbing of the structure is made.

Roof

Roof battens are installed with self drilling screws.

Roof Cover

Roof cover is installed as per manufacturer’s instructions.

Gutter Systems

uPvc rain water gutter systems are finally installed to produce a perfect aesthetically appealing product.
