Building Smarter: Introducing Durable, Efficient and Beautiful Steel Residential Kits
The world of residential construction is seeing an evolution with the unlocking of using lightweight pre engineered steel applications. RPM Team, a leading provider of turnkey pre-engineered building solutions is taking a commercial approach, using a repeatable, predictable, and manufacturable strategy to deliver efficient, cost-effective homes.
What's RPM’s approach when building pre engineered steel structures?
Think of it like this: instead of custom-building each house from scratch, we create base designs optimized for production with a single cold form rolling machine. This translates to several benefits:
Predictable Costs: Building with standardized components allows for more accurate cost estimates for homeowners.
Streamlined Scheduling: General contractors (GCs) can schedule construction with greater ease thanks to the pre-defined building kit.
Manufacturer Expertise: The kits leverage our expertise in structural engineering and project management for a more efficient building process.
The Power of Light Gauge Steel
Light Gauge Steel (LGS), also known as cold-formed steel is a readily available material that offers significant advantages:
Lightweight Champion: LGS is significantly lighter than traditional building materials, eliminating the need for heavy machinery and simplifying construction, especially in remote locations.
Shipping Made Easy: The lightweight nature of LGS makes transportation a breeze, opening up possibilities for building in remote areas like Hawaii.
The Rise of LGS Technology: The growing popularity of cold form rolling machines, like Audiss, FrameCad, and Pinacle LGS, is fueling an evolution. These machines allow for easy conversion of structural designs into software-driven kits with clearly labeled components.
Beyond the High-Rise
Traditionally, LGS technology has been used for mid-rise and high-rise metal stud panel projects. Manufacturers, like Triple Crown Steel, are pushing boundaries by applying this technology to create entirely LGS residential structures. We've already successfully completed projects in Hawaii, California, and Texas, proving the versatility and potential of this innovative approach.
Building a Better Future
These steel residential kits represent a smarter way to build homes. With efficiency, predictability, and ease of construction, RPM Team is helping deliver quicker housing solutions.
