Prefabricated steel building houses are becoming an alternative choice to traditional reinforced concrete houses due to their prominent advantages such as quick construction time, high durability, and long-term budget optimization. Prefabricated steel townhouses, specifically designed for residential purposes, are particularly favored in developed countries. However, some customers still have concerns about the aesthetic appeal of prefabricated steel houses. Check out the solutions from Pebsteel through this article!
1. What are prefabricated steel houses? Concerns when constructing prefabricated steel houses
Pre-engineered buildings are structures with steel components manufactured and processed at factories based on precise dimensions and quantities according to technical drawings, then transported to construction sites for assembly. This allows construction phases to proceed quickly and accurately.
Common types of prefabricated steel houses include factories, workshops, commercial buildings, public facilities, and residential buildings.
Concerns when constructing prefabricated steel houses
- Limited aesthetic appeal: With the notion that steel frame houses often come with a rigid, monotonous appearance, many investors are not entirely confident when considering this construction solution, especially for commercial and residential projects that require high aesthetic standards.
- High construction costs: Due to being designed, processed, and assembled largely with modern software and large machinery systems, alongside the cost of large quantities of steel materials.
- Durability of metal components: This concern arises from the belief that metals will quickly corrode and rust, especially without the protective layer commonly found in reinforced concrete. In fact, prefabricated steel houses implemented by reputable units and properly maintained will have durability comparable to reinforced concrete houses.
