Why architect love steel buildings?

 The main agenda behind constructing any building or structure is that it should do complete justice to the vision of the people behind it.  The people who’ve had an idea of creating an environmentally sustainable, aesthetically appealing and an economical building, that serves to be more than just a residential or a commercial property. A building that stands as a modern construction marvel that creates a longing in every viewer’s eyes.

That being said, the people being discussed are the designers who conceptualize the idea behind the aesthetics and functionality of the building.  These people are at the helm of making the best of use of the financier’s money and creating a design that offers unmatched quality, experience and satisfaction. Most importantly, a design that can be built in viable timeframes while giving more for every Rupee spent. As designers face this ever-evolving challenge, many of them are looking towards using steel buildings or pre-engineered steel fabrications to achieve their vision in a cost-efficient and time-efficient way, without compromising on quality.

Materials like wood or plastic often fail to live up to a designer’s expectations in terms of consistency, longevity and quick processing times. Steel is proven to show tremendous results in all the aforementioned and offers great benefits over other materials. This is why designers are becoming more and more dependant on steel-based buildings for most of their projects.

  Here are 5 critical reasons why designers prefer steel buildings

     1. Simpler to design:

With steel based solutions, designers have the option to use highly sophisticated software platforms and tools to create space efficient 3D models and futuristic design renderings that offer great value for the budget of the project.

          2. Super Strength: 

Being an alloy, steel is extremely durable because of its high strength to weight ratio compared to other materials. Due to its strong built, steel framings don’t have to be very thick in design and can be withstand high tension. 

      3. Cost-effective:

Steel is manufactured from existing recyclable materials which drastically brings down the manufacturing cost. The by-products generated from steel manufacturing can be re-used for other construction purposes. Also, steel is completely recyclable and does not create any wastage during its disposal, once it has reached the end of its life span.

      4. High-speed construction:

Steel buildings can pre-engineered in factories as per custom specifications and then can be assembled on site with final installations. The use of prefabricated steel buildings has tremendously increased the speed of construction and shortened the completion timelines.

      5.  Great aesthetics:

When it comes to colour-coated metal solutions, colour-coated steel is the pinnacle of building materials evolution, as steel has excellent colour/paint retention capabilities, superior protection against corrosion or weather damage and offers premium aesthetics for roofing solutions, facades and much more.
