Light Gauge Steel Framed Structures (LGSF) utilize factory-made galvanized steel components assembled on-site to create structural frameworks for buildings. This construction method is gaining popularity in residential and commercial sectors due to its flexibility, fast construction, and durability, making it suitable for one to three storey buildings. LGSF can also be integrated with composite materials and is applicable for various uses, including mass housing and temporary structures.

Light Gauge Steel Framed Structures (LGSF) is based on factory made galvanized light gauge steel

components, designed as per codal requirements, produced by cold forming method and assembled as
panels at site forming structural steel framework of a building of varying sizes of wall and floor.

The basic building elements of light gauge steel framing are cold formed sections which can be
prefabricated on site using various methods of connection. The assembly is done using special types of
screws and bolts.

Cold formed sections are widely used in construction including residential floors, industrial buildings,
commercial buildings, hotels and are gaining greater acceptance in the residential sector.

LGSF is typically ideal for one to three storey high buildings, especially in residential homes, apartments
and commercial buildings. Due to its flexibility fast construction and durability, this technology has great
potential for counties like India.

LGSF can be combined with composite steel / concrete deck resting on light steel framing stud walls.
Apart from having potential for mass housing, modular buildings can be used for long term temporary or
permanent structures such as schools and classroom, military and civil housing needs, post – disaster
relief structures and industrial buildings.

Light Gauge Framing System (LGFS) buildings can be used as substitute of RCC/traditional
buildings. It is used to create frames for external walls, floor, internal walls etc. These are used as
the base on which suitable boards and materials are used to cover the framing. LGSF buildings look
similar to traditional RCC buildings after completion
