Currently, countless Steel Frame houses are built using the process called “by profiles” or “panelized on site”, in which the builder, with the panelized/assembly plans and the profile cutting list, acquires them in the desired length or in strips, and panels them on site. The fact that the profiles are standardized allows the builder complete freedom when purchasing them, being able to even use guides from one supplier and uprights from another – it is a cutting-edge technology that brings flexibility to the work.
The panelized system in the workshop has become popular in some works, according to a study prepared by Brazilian Metal Construction Association (ABCEM) With the increase in demand, the existence of a panel workshop with tables that can vary from simply being a raised work surface to work more comfortably, to semi-automatic tables that allow profiles to be separated with precision, aligned and screwed in very easily.
This was the case of the work composed by architect Carla de León, for a young family in the Santo Tomás neighborhood, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. With a built area of 118 square meters covered, also projecting a 42 m² gallery and a future extension of the house of 45 m², this steel frame project started from the idea of generating an environment that took advantage of the greatest possible entry of sunlight in all the environments. To achieve this, displaced volumes were generated, achieving the efficiency of spaces and the almost non-existence of corridors. These volumes also respond to the morphology of the land, located in a dead end, so that one of its ends adopts a curved shape. Completing the benefits of the chosen construction system in relation to energy efficiency, PVC windows with double hermetic glass were added.
One of the main reasons for implementing this project in Steel Frame has to do with the advantages that the system presents compared to wet construction with brick.
The housing project executed responds to the family’s current requirements, and meets the minimum construction requirements required by neighborhood standards. The envisaged expansion includes 2 additional bedrooms and an expansion of the living room for when necessary, facilitating the movement and flow of people in the residence.
“The work for this project was carried out in a panelizing workshop. This means that each of the project panels (walls) is assembled in a workshop, following what is indicated in detailed engineering, then it is packaged and transported to the site, which brings agility to the process”, explains André Luiz Rossi, development and new business manager at Barbieri do Brasil, a company dedicated to the manufacture of galvanized steel profiles for drywall e light steel framing in Latin America.
