The benefits of light steel framing and modular construction in housing are:

• Speed of construction (up to 30% faster than traditional methods of house construction)
• Excellent performance characteristics e.g. acoustic and thermal insulation.
• High level of quality control, accuracy and freedom from shrinkage reducing call-back for defects.
• Light weight for use on poor ground, with reduced foundation requirements.
• Minimum disturbance to the locality during construction due to reduced number of deliveries.
• Waste recycling in manufacture and reduction of on-site waste.
• Compliance with Code for Sustainable Homes.
• Room in the roof systems can be constructed without difficulty.
• Can easily be extended and modified internally in the future.
