LGSF structures are strong, durable and resistant to environmental factors like corrosion (when treated), pests and extreme weather conditions, making them ideal for long-term use.

As the name suggests, LGSF is lighter than traditional concrete or steel structures, which can make transportation and assembly easier and less costly.  Clients can also benefit from reduced foundation design saving time and money in the ground.

Offsite solutions streamline the construction process.  Pre-manufactured components are produced in controlled environments and can be quickly assembled on-site, significantly reducing the overall project timeline.  Typically our LGSF projects are completed up to 35% quicker than traditional construction methods.

Because components are manufactured in factory-controlled conditions, the quality of materials and finishes tends to be higher and more consistent compared to traditional on-site construction methods.

With offsite construction, the need for manual labour on-site is reduced, which helps in lowering labour costs and minimising the risks associated with labour shortages.

Saint-Gobain Intrastack solutions focus on energy-efficient design and sustainable materials.  Their offsite manufacturing processes are optimised to reduce waste, lower carbon emissions and improve the building’s overall environmental performance.

Offsite manufacturing in a factory setting is generally safer than on-site construction, as workers are not exposed to the hazards of the active construction site.  This can lead to a reduction in on-site accidents and injuries.

The modular and adaptable nature of Intrastack systems allows for a wide range of design possibilities, ensuring that projects can meet both functional and aesthetic requirements.

With offsite solutions, the ability to precisely estimate costs is enhanced, as the majority of the work is done offsite and is easier to control, avoiding unexpected cost overruns commonly seen in traditional construction projects.

Since the majority of the work happens offsite, the impact on the local environment and the community around the construction site is significantly reduced.  This is especially beneficial in urban or densely populated areas.

With the right insulation materials LGSF can provide good thermal performance, contributing to energy efficiency in buildings.

Steel has inherent fire-resistant properties, improving the overall fire safety of the structure compared to wood or some other materials.

Steel does not warp, crack, or rot, meaning maintenance costs can be lower compared to other building materials like wood or concrete.
