Prefabricated hospital is the new normal, that has been practiced over a number of years now.  Prefabricated hospitals are highly durable, they are earthquake resistant and can be prepared within a short span of time. The prefab hospitals can be mounted and dismounted quite easily, over again and again. These modular hospitals are built by proper sanitary installation, window glasses, heating ventilation and air conditioning and much more. A more recent example of “why you need to opt for prefabrication than regular construction is right here in front of your eyes, The Pandemic! Here’s wh ..read more

Did you know that cold-formed steel framing has been used as a building material since the 1800s? Then, however, it was in forms and proportions very different from those seen today. Cold-formed steel framing was first used to construct buildings in the 1850s in both the US and Britain. The use was mainly exploratory and restricted to a few fundamental structures. If you work in the construction business, you may know about cold-formed steel framing. So let’s look at how this framing choice came to be.  What Is Cold-Formed Steel Framing? Cold-formed steel (CFS) is a fabrication technique ..read more

Partnering is a broad term used to describe a collaborative management approach that encourages openness and trust between parties to a contract. The parties become dependent on one another for success and this requires a change in culture, attitude and procedures throughout the supply chain. It is most commonly used on large, long-term or high-risk contracts. Partnering in the Light Gauge Steel industry can be adopted for a one-off project or can be a long-term relationship over several projects (such as a framework agreement). The longer the contract, the greater the benefit of partnering as ..read more

Times are changing in the Indian construction industry. Both customers and builders are looking for more efficient and faster construction materials and technology. One such technology that is gaining acceptance is the Light Gauge Steel Frame (LGSF) construction technology. Due to its ecological and structural benefits, many builders use this technology to speed up construction time. While Cold-formed steel – also called light-gauge steel (LGS) – is practically perfect for most construction projects, we come across many myths and misconceptions. Hence, we decided to write this blog to bust som ..read more

Light gauge steel framing construction (LGSF) is a rapid construction system that is used in cold rolled galvanized steel sections allows us to design and build strong, durable steel-framed buildings easily and efficiently, anywhere in the world. This year, the construction industry has seen price fluctuations like no other. In turn, this scenario has brought people to the question – Which technology must one adopt so as to save money with the rising prices? Trust us, Light Gauge Steel is your best bet! Cost comparisons are often made when using the LGSF structure on a project with other const ..read more

Prefabricated Construction is a process of constructing buildings where components are manufactured separately and transported to the construction site where it is assembled, instead of being manufactured directly at the site. Prefab construction is hardly new. What is new is the idea that this method of construction can be used to revolutionize the entire construction industry. Prefabricated houses are undoubtedly better than on-site construction in almost every sense. These fashionable safe structures are built in a controlled environment by highly skilled professionals while saving time, mo ..read more

Used increasing across the USA, Australia and New Zealand, light gauge steel framing structures are also being heavily introduced in developing countries such as India. With the advancements in technology, the construction is growing and improving progressively. The benefits that come along with the changing technology has encouraged the light gauge steel framing manufacturers in India to pursue and push the construction method increasingly amongst commercial, industrial, offices and medical construction. Why so? What is the significance of light gauge steel frame cons ..read more

LGSF has come a long way and is being widely used all across the world because of its numerous advantages which are both functional and fundamental. Some of the benefits of these light gauge steel framing include the reduced need for material, improved quality and decreased on-site work while enhancing the safety of the workers. The functioning of such buildings are quite different from the traditional construction buildings, so this article will help you to understand the working of the Wall system, Roof system & Floor System of an LGSF: Wall System in LGSF: The steel sections i ..read more

The story behind Stratus Steel: The parent group, MGI India since 2000 has successfully endeavored into bringing operating room technology into India and offering its services to the medical industry. As a forward integration to this brand, we branched out into integrating LGSF for the purpose of building FastTrack hospitals. By the year 2008, we were one of the only 3 players who invested in this technology and the supporting machinery. Up until now, Mgi India has designed and executed close to 500 buildings and a majority of them were taken as turn-key projects by the government. Ho ..read more
