 |
Simple |
Easy to install, no
second guessing and fewer mistakes. |
|
|
Turnkey |
Installation packages of the
structural components ensure trouble-free construction. |
|
|
Cost Effective |
Large savings can be realized by
using light weight steel and concrete as compared to conventional
concrete methods of construction. |
|
|
Resale Value |
Eliminate problems relating to
shrinkage, rotting, corrosion and cracks in the interior and
exterior finishes. Structures retain their aesthetic
integrity and value. |
|
|
Quality Control |
Quality is ensured because the system
components are engineered then manufactured in controlled
environments under optimum climatic conditions. |
|
|
Speed |
The structural components are
engineered, prefabricated to structural tolerances ensuring fewer
delays thus reducing construction time. |
|
|
Light Weight |
Using LGS Stud Technology
affords some of the best weight to strength ratios available.
The system lightens the transferred loads from floor to floor.
Thus reducing overall weight and the amount of foundation work
required. |
|
|
Lower Insurance |
Because steel is non-combustible and
durable, builders may lower their insurance premiums. The
local North American (Pacific Northwest) market for builders risk
for construction risks is as follows:
- Steel, concrete,
non-combustible: .0125% to .015% per month.
- Wood frame: .03% to .06% per
month.

|
|
Mechanical Services |
The system employs open web steel
joists and galvanized steel studs complete with pre-punch
knockouts allowing electrical wiring. HVAC ducts, plumbing
and sprinklers to be expediently installed. |
|
|
Engineered Wall
System |
The walls are manufactured from
galvanized structural steel studs. The wall panels are
prefabricated to detailed shop drawings on hydraulic pressure
controlled tables, thus ensuring consistent quality and maximum
load bearing capabilities. |
|
|
Engineered Floor
System |
The Hambro floor system installs
quickly, allowing other sub-trades to commence their scope of work
following the concrete pour. Other systems require shoring,
forming or canning. |
|
|
Safety |
Non-combustible components enhance
fire and seismic ratings, surpassing most local building codes. |
|
|
Call Backs |
Shrinkage and warping of structures
are minimized so problems such as settlement, cracking and nail
pops do not occur. Troublesome and expensive call-backs are
minimized. |
|
|
Savings |
Speed and efficiency contribute to
profits and savings to builders and consumers. |
|
|
No Termites, No Bugs |
The Artisan system is technically
100% termite, insect and vermin proof as it is made up of 95%
recycled steel. |
|
|
Easy to Remodel |
The flexibility of the system and
longer spans between load bearing walls allow easy design changes
and interior renovations. |
|
|
Design Flexibility |
The materials used allow designers
more choices to create open spaces for custom suite layouts. |
|
|
Sound |
The Hambro composite floor system
has excellent acoustical properties. Independent testing of
a 3 1/2" composite floor has yielding a sound transmission rating
of 57, which is twice as efficient as a regular 6" concrete floor. |
|
|
Green Projects |
No old growth forest will be wasted
for your project, saving our natural resources. All LGS
steel components are made from 95% recycled steel. |
|
|
Service |
Delivery schedules are prompt and
with updates provided as requested. |
|
|
Guarantee |
All materials and labour conform to
building codes and standards. |
