Project versatility & time savings with CFS/LGS construction

How building with light gauge steel (LGS) provides project versatility & time savings for Antioch Investments

Cold formed steel (also known as light gauge steel) and the FRAMECAD end-to-end construction automation system provides construction companies with a flexible, versatile building solution.

Antioch Investments, a trusted FRAMECAD network partner since 2015, has implemented the FRAMECAD design-led methodology to their maximum advantage, delivering fast, efficient construction projects for clients across a range of different applications.

With their production centralized in Romania for optimum manufacturing efficiency, Antioch provide a customized service to their clients, delivering a wide range of residential, industrial and service projects across Romania, Sweden, Germany and the Republic of Nauru.

Efficient production for fast project completion

RGBF325iT wDecoilerAccording to Antioch, focusing on steel frame construction using the FRAMECAD system offers efficiency along with a great value-for-money ratio. Using the FRAMECAD F325iT roll forming manufacturing system provides faster production speed, as well as increased reliability and greater versatility. Through efficient production and prefabrication in their factory, Antioch can deliver a shorter production time, and faster delivery and assembly for their clients.

Versatile construction allows wide range of projects

It’s no surprise to see that Antioch Investments have mastered this manufacturing and construction methodology when you look at the efficiency gains and time savings across a wide range of project types – from standalone prefab homes and housing developments to medium-sized industrial buildings and expansions.

Below we look at some of Antioch’s recent projects. All were designed and built to the Euro building code. Antioch’s same eight worker team completed each project, with no additional resource required.

Needing to withstand the cold Swedish winters, cold formed steel, known for its energy efficiency and insulation properties, was the perfect choice for these standalone houses in Malmo, Sweden.

A fast turnaround was also vital. Framing for the 280sqm main house, plus 50sqm guest house, was produced in 10 days using the FRAMECAD roll forming system. And the Antioch team certainly delivered, handing the project over to the client only 7 weeks after the contract was signed.
