Fire Resistance
Elevate your buildings to new heights of safety and resilience with Mako Steel Frames, providing frames with exceptional fire resistance properties. Unlike timber framing, which is combustible and can exacerbate the spread of fires, our steel frames provide a steadfast shield against flames.
Steel framing boasts inherent fire-resistant properties, withstanding extreme temperatures and minimising the risk of structural damage during fire incidents. This superior fire resistance not only enhances the safety of your building but also mitigates potential financial losses and liabilities. With Mako Steel Frames, you can trust in a proven solution that prioritizes safety and peace of mind, ensuring unparalleled protection for your buildings and those who occupy them.
Reduced Maintenance
Enhance your efficiency and cost-effectiveness with steel framing, which demands minimal maintenance throughout its lifespan. Unlike timber framing, our steel requires no regular repairs or treatments, freeing property owners from the burdensome and costly upkeep associated with traditional materials. This not only saves valuable time but also preserves resources, allowing property owners to allocate their resources more efficiently and effectively.
With steel framing, you can rest assured that your commercial building will remain structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing for years to come, without the hassle of frequent maintenance tasks.
Faster Construction
Our steel framing components are prefabricated off-site, allowing for quicker installation compared to traditional construction methods. This reduces overall construction time and enables projects to be completed more rapidly.
Reduced on-Site Labor
Our Prefabricated steel frames require less on-site labor, as they are already built, and they can be quickly and easily installed according to pre-established plans. This streamlines the construction process and minimizes the risk of labor shortages or scheduling conflicts.
Accelerated Occupancy
With faster construction timelines, projects utilizing steel framing can be completed sooner, allowing owners to occupy and begin using the building sooner. This can lead to earlier revenue generation and return on investment for developers and stakeholders.
Predictable Lead Times
Steel framing materials can be manufactured to precise specifications, leading to more predictable lead times compared to traditional building materials. This helps project managers schedule construction activities more efficiently and reduces the likelihood of delays.
Improved Coordination
Steel framing allows for better coordination between different trades and construction activities, as the precise dimensions of steel components facilitate more accurate planning and sequencing of work. This can help prevent delays and ensure smoother project progression.
Reduced Sub-Contractor Costs
Innovation in design & manufacturing means less time on-site for subcontractors, reducing overall project costs & liabilities. With the ability to pre-define service locations in the design stage, we can provide our framing with pre-punched service holes, reducing on-site subcontractor labor requirements, which equates to reduced project costs, & increased timeline efficiency.
Overall, steel framing expedites the construction process, enhances scheduling predictability, reduces on-site labor requirements, improves coordination among trades, and accelerates project completion, making it highly beneficial for a project's timeline.
