Planning in the Steel Frame process

The planning stage in the steel framing construction process is key to creating a well-defined project. For this, it is essential to take care of even the smallest detail and leave nothing to chance. This will allow us to control costs, improve construction speed and ensure millimeter results through technological systems. 

Planning in the Steel Frame construction system 

Planning is essential in construction for several reasons, including some such as: 

  • It allows the project to be completed within the established term and within the budget. Efficient planning makes it easy for each project to be delivered on time and all planned deadlines are met.
    Helps minimize potential risks and identify problems before they occur. Thanks to planning we can prevent many risks that can be carried out in the construction process, in addition, it reduces delay times and additional costs. On the other hand, it allows identifying and mitigating risks that may endanger the safety of workers, as well as the final quality of each project.

  • It facilitates efficient communication between the different parties involved in the project. Through detailed planning, architect, owner, contractors and subcontractors, they will be able to be aware of the proposed objectives and the evolution of the project.

  • It allows to maximize efficiency. Good planning leads to proper coordination and scheduling of construction tasks, facilitating the efficient use of resources, including time, personnel, and materials. In this way, construction time is reduced. 
    Improves the quality of the building. Planning enables problems to be identified and resolved at an early stage, helping to ensure the quality of construction and final project.
    In general, planning is essential to achieve a correct optimization of resources, both in the use of space and in the materials used, since it allows to identify on time and minimize unnecessary costs. 
    Good planning ensures the accuracy of each of the profiles with which the steel framing construction process works. It is one of the most important characteristics, since these types of constructions are exact, it does not allow errors. This is achieved by working with steel profiles with standardized dimensions and exact cuts. 

  • Sometimes this part of the process is the most expensive in terms of time spent, however it is then recovered during the construction process on site. In this way, in addition to saving time, waste is reduced. 

STALART returns Rebuild 2023

STALART vuelve Rebuild 2023

As happened in 2021, we are pleased to announce that STALART will attend Rebuild Expo 2023.

REBUILD Expo has established itself as the summit event of technological building and innovation, where thousands of companies participate and more than 20,000 prescribers and buyers attend. The main objective of the event is to promote the change of construction model of the building.

Our traditional construction system is becoming obsolete, which is why various substitute methods arise that in the coming years will be consolidated in our society.

REBUILD Expo is an event where these novel methods, which seek the digitization and industrialization of the construction process, in addition to betting on sustainability, they are promoted and exposed to make us aware of the latest news and technologies.

Our experience at REBUILD 2021

At STALART we were fortunate to be part of this event in 2021, where we had a great experience.

  • We had the opportunity to learn about various efficient construction methods for industrialization. In the various stands of the event we met systems that provide a much more sustainable vision of construction.
  • We did not stop learning, thanks to all those interested who came to our stand and gave us their opinions on our Steel Frame system. 

In addition, we participated in various talks and conferences, where STALART CEO Manuel Marrama gave visibility to the Steel frame construction system, talking about its characteristics and advantages. 

REBUILD EXPO 2023, a new opportunity
Our experience at REBUILD Expo was very satisfactory, therefore, in 2023 we sought to improve the experience by focusing on meeting certain objectives such as:

  • Strengthen our brand as a benchmark in the sector. At STALART we are convinced that the Steel Frame steel system is the effective and sustainable substitute for the traditional construction method.
  • Increase and improve the relationship with customers and suppliers.
  • Publicize our latest projects. In order to show what it’s like to work through construction with Steel Frame, we will show our latest projects.
  • Meet with our colleagues from Poland. Our colleagues from the Polish headquarters and the Spanish headquarters will meet again at this event, thus reinforcing the ties of the company.
    ¿And that’s it?

Yes … and no, we have told you about our experiences at the Rebuild Expo, our feelings, everything we learned and our objectives, but we have not told you everything.

We have some surprises prepared for this great event that will take place in 2023. See you at Rebuild Expo 2023.

Success of the Steel Frame system after the visit of our promoters

Éxito del sistema Steel Frame. Albalat, Valencia

Steel Framing construction system success

Last week we received a visit from some of our clients from Germany, Italy, Scotland, Belarus and Poland. During the meeting we took the opportunity to visit some of our construction projects in Steel Framing active in the municipalities of Foios and Albalat ( Valencia ). Each of these projects is in different phases of the construction process and have specific steelframing characteristics.

Éxito del sistema Steel Frame. Empezamos visitando la promoción de Foios, Valencia

Success of the Steel Frame system is due to an industrialized construction system that is based on the use of structural steel profiles, along with other components, for the creation of different projects, both industrial and residential. 

In order to develop our promotion system, We made this visit with some of our international clients to discuss different topics related to the scalability of the steelframe system or the planning and traction of projects. We consider that these types of meetings are essential to achieve excellent results, as well as rapid returns on investment and profitability. Those are just some of the many benefits that the Steel Frame offers. Next, we will develop its main benefits.

¿Why success of the Steel Frame system?

  • Agility: allows the handling of materials without the need to use elevators or a lot of labor.
  • Durability: structures made with a minimum useful life of 300 years without maintenance.
  • Resistance: each step is custom designed in order to ensure its resistance.
  • Accuracy: use of technological systems that ensure millimeter results.
  • Speed: its quick and easy application allows reducing construction times compared to traditional systems.
  • Cost control: thanks to efficient advance planning, it allows optimizing the design phase and carrying out cost control of the entire process.
  • Energy cost: the construction process does not need as much energy consumption compared to conventional systems, this allows reducing costs, as well as optimizing energy savings.

Thanks to all the advantages offered by the steelframe model, the visit with the promoters was a complete success. Proof of this is their proactivity throughout the visit, as well as the different questions asked or the experiences and concerns shared regarding constructive differences in different countries.

During the last section of the visit, we made a final stop to our Steel Frame profile manufacturing facilities in La Vall d’Uixó, where they visited our factory and we were able to show them our work system, as well as some of the projects with which we currently work and future projects to be carried out throughout the Spanish territory, such as steel frame projects in Barcelona, Madrid, Valenia or Córdoba

The production process shown during the meeting is carried out using numerical control machines. A process strictly related to design that allows obtaining certified and optimized products. This process, entirely BIM, allows the exact transfer of the executive project to the resulting manufactured model.

This system allows planning the entire process, as well as its traceability, one of the main characteristics of our product. It is an industrialized construction system, based on linear elements structures of galvanized cold shaped steel. These structures make up a supporting framework that can act both as a vertical structure and as a horizontal structure. This system allows optimizing the relationship between weight and resistance necessary to support the steelframing structure.

¿How do we work at STALART?

The world is constantly evolving, our way of working too. At STALART we know that dry design and construction is the best way to face a construction project, not only because of its advanced system adapted to new times, but also for its safety and reliability.

Currently, we work with specialized software that allows us to have the latest technologies of productive capacity and offer solutions to the problems it has in the traditional construction sector. Among them we highlight the resolution capacity against errors that may arise in terms of construction times, performance, costs or durability of the system.

Our industrialized system allows the exact millimeter precision that the execution of a project of such important magnitudes as a residence or an industrial space can be. It also allows us the option of working with known and invariable costs and the construction of safe and sustainable buildings with less environmental impact. To all this we add the obtaining of a very high performance in terms of energy and acoustic efficiency.

STALART philosophy

Faced with all the advantages that #steelframing offers, at STALART we are very clear about what objectives we meet and what problems we solve compared to traditional models. For this reason, our philosophy throughout the process is based on three fundamental pillars: 

  • EFFICIENCE
  • CERTIDUMBRE
  • EXACT 

Thanks to these three factors, we are not only manufacturers, but rather PLANNERS. We focus 100% on each of our projects. We not only supply cold-formed steel profiles, but also justify and view the project in terms of structure. 

Our objective is to offer a very active role in each of the phases of the project, participating in its design and optimization together with the architect, accompanying the builder during the selection of the materials that will make up the enclosure layers and throughout the construction process, fully managing the project for the investor and actively collaborating with the promoter when selecting the project, as well as the actors who will participate in each of its phases.

Housing in Covid19 times

Example of assembly execution of our light cold-formed steel structure, steelframing.

There are issues in life that are not forgotten. When the inconveniences are of the magnitude of a pandemic such as Covid19, the will to keep pushing and the desire to do things better and better are determining factors for success.

Thanks to having an industrialized, agile, fast and safe system, we were able to comply, despite the necessary restrictions due to the Covid19 situation, with the assembly rhythms of the structure of this house.

On the 13th we began the assembly of the house and as can be seen in the video, it took 8 working days to completely finish the structure.

Tourist offices project – Cold formed steel structures, assembled and assembled in one day

The need for this client is to have a network of tourist offices quickly through the main tourist spots in the region. With our structural system based on light cold-formed steel profiles, one office a day can be assembled and assembled on site, providing a solution to the need raised by the client.

 

In addition, the client obtains a product of the highest quality that allows them to obtain very high energy efficiency ratios, while using a recycled and recyclable material, helping to reduce CO2 emissions.

Efficiency. Quality. Ease.

Transportable offices in three modules of steel framing structure (cold formed steel)

On this occasion, our client was faced with the problem of having to build offices that could be transported in the future and located in a place other than the current one. Three independent modules have been designed that together make up the entire office area. In the future, each of the modules may be moved to its new location and reassembled to form the same office space that it occupied in the initial location.

We have already manufactured the three modules and their assembly will begin in September of this year near Valencia (Spain).

 

Types of cladding and slabs used by our clients / partners in the cladding of our structures

ENCLOSURES

The enclosures are made up of different light layers placed dry on both sides (intrados extrados) of the structure, allowing quick installation. These layers can be adapted according to the technical needs of thermal and acoustic insulation of each project. This type of enclosure has two main advantages:
  • Reduced thickness, facing brick or concrete enclosures, allowing a greater interior surface.
  • Better insulation performance, since the layers respond to technical needs and do not need to be load-bearing

Enclosure with continuous insulation from the outside:

FORGED

The floors are made up of mixed concrete slabs with a collaborating sheet. The advantages of this type of slab are:
  • It is not necessary to form or prop up: The collaborating sheet works as formwork and avoids propping, allowing a faster construction.
  • Reduced depth: the corrugated metal sheet works together with the concrete by means of connectors allowing reduced slab edges, adaptable according to project needs.

Mixed slab slab with collaborating sheet:

COVERS

Depending on the needs of the project, roofs can be designed in two ways:

 

 

  • Roof on slab: solution to support higher loads, as in the case of walkable roofs, for example.
  • Deck cover: lightweight solution to run on non-passable deck

“Deck” type roof solution:

Advantages of the steel framing structure or light cold formed system

The structure of the Steel Frame system stands out compared to other industrialized systems, such as construction with precast concrete panels, due to its lightness. By being made up of linear elements, it is possible to optimize the relationship between weight and the strength necessary to support the structure. As a material, galvanized steel has the following advantages:

  • Optimum strength-to-weight ratio among construction materials today
  • 100% recyclable
  • Non-combustible: does not burn and will not contribute as fuel to the spread of a fire
  • Inorganic: does not rot, does not suffer from xylophages, does not suffer from cracks
  • Dimensionally stable against moisture: does not expand or contract with moisture content.
  • Certified and industrialized quality: the material is manufactured under strict control and is shaped by numerical control machines
