Pre-Engineered Steel Structures from Green Building Systems
Our strategic solutions partner is an American owned global light gauge steel frame fabricator, Green Building Systems (GBS), with manufacturing plants. They have handled projects for some of the most influential developers and contractors worldwide, providing our “Pre-Engineered” system for high end residential projects, their commercial and industrial units, and also their affordable housing projects.
GBS's innovative “Pre-Engineered & precisely engineered panelized system provides developers many advantages and benefits over conventional forms of construction, whether built by block, stick, or poured concrete. Light gauge steel framed construction has a proven track record and is faster, cheaper, stronger, dead-on consistent, and a superior & easier material to work with. GBS computer engineered & perfectly plumbed steel framed units eliminate post construction defects.
• GBS “Pre-engineer” walls and trusses to exacting tolerances in a panelized form, deliver them to the buyer’s site and have crews handle the installation while simultaneously training a local workforce.
• GBS provides year round rapid construction. In the time it takes to frame one unit with CBS, Stick or Cement we’re able to erect 6-10 of our units; consisting of the Exterior Frame, the Interior Frame and Roof Trusses. And GBS can deliver units engineered to 250 mph wind loads with free spans as much as 72 feet .
• Greater design flexibility: the light gauge steel product has very few architectural limitations and offers significant LEED credits with the versatility to quickly and easily expand, redesign or modify the envelop.
• GBS rapid construction reduces a developer’s labor costs and insurance fees, saving as much as 20-30%.
• GBS crews dry & enclose units rapidly with steel reinforced concrete exterior panels & our insulated roofing system.
• GBS impact resistant steel reinforced concrete exterior panel and floor system is waterproof, permeable, has insulating value, is an excellent sound barrier, is a non-organic, non-combustible Green product, resistant to mold mildew & rot & has a 2 hour fire rating at 2,800 degrees, versus CBS & Concrete which has a 2 hour rating at 1,500 degrees.
• The system has been tested, passed and even exceeded the stringent Miami-Dade hurricane impact, cyclic & air filtration protocols (TAS 201,202,203), at the higher E level. The exterior wall system is acceptable for hospitals, police and fire stations.
• Light Gauge Steel framed units are the most stable, uniformity consistent, and safest of any type of construction within Hurricane, Seismic, Tornado, High Fire & Lightning locales.The units can be engineered to withstand a CAT 5 Hurricane, the most severe Zone 4 rated earthquake, & an F5 Tornado. Our structures afford the highest fire ratings & are also impervious to lightning damage; actually safeguarding and shielding a unit from damage, as the grounded anchored steel frame provides a direct path to the ground.
•The system is delivered free of Tax and Tariff throughout the Caribbean & Americas.
• The steel product is an inorganic healthier Green & LEED compliant material & neither contains any volatile compounds nor supports any mold related growth or mildew. Steel will not split, crack, or creak, and is invulnerable to termite damage.
• Steel framed units are energy efficient, dimensionally stable and are not affected by humidity or temperature changes. Steel framing members remain consistently straight and true throughout the life of the structure, keeping door and window openings intact without any settling problems.
• Steel framed units can be built with fewer materials and has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any structural building material, maximizing the building’s footprint without adding additional impact & allowing for a less costly foundation.
• GBS can build structures to any height: 7 stories with Light Gauge steel or 100 stories with conventional Red Iron
•The Light Gauge steel is 100% recyclable, environmentally friendly & rust proof. We use U.S. manufactured steel, galvanized 50% more, and hardened 40% more than industry standards.
• Lifetime Testing results: British Steel Study – “300 year Lifespan”; NAHB Research Center Report - “Corrosion Resistance Potential 1100 years”; Stony Creek Lab’s 20 year galvanization test results: “No Measurable Coating Loss”; while Cathode Protection recoats any cuts and scratches.
• The steel frame construction produces less scrap & waste, eliminating the need for multiple trash containers, as we deliver our “Pre-Engineered” system in a panelized form. The result is the system generates a minimal amount of “Job-Site” scrap, and does little site damage during the installation process.
• GBS rapid time savings installation provides a reduction for a developer’s loan interest payment, and Zurich INS offers a 25% discount on their “Builder’s Risk” policy when constructing with non-combustible light gauge steel.
• When comparing identical unit dimensions between GBS steel frame systems versus a unit built with cement or CBS, GBS products interior living area is greater. GBS quotes are based upon interior measurements.
• GBS walls and trusses are fabricated by computer to precise tolerances. The installed framing package measures exactly to the architectural drawings without inconsistencies, irregularities, or deficiencies. The walls & trusses are delivered & installed precisely plumbed & straight, with all corners exactly at 90 degrees. All windows & doors fit without any perimeter openings, drywall requires less trimming, our floor systems will never creak or warp, and our walls can never crack.
• While the crews handle the installation they also train a local workforce in the GBS method. No prior construction knowledge is required and also preferred. At one of the ongoing UK projects, a 5 year African resort project, GBS's staff of 30 trained 300 inexperienced locals whom are now completing the project under one (1) project manager.
• GBS offers the industry’s first Hurricane Wind Warranty to a Category 5, the first Guaranteed Energy Payback program, and the only Extended Maintenance Warranty program.
• GBS converts the buyer’s architectural drawings to the system and have our U.S. engineering service provide buyers with local area “wet stamped” engineering docs. GBS engineering services will provide a buyer with drawings that meet the building requirements to any ZIP Code nationwide. The engineers are available to clients on a 24/7 basis to answer any questions or make any required changes to meet local requirements.
• The highly durable sound absorbing high impact, naturally green FiberCement Drywall is gypsum free, fire resistant, waterproof, light weight, mold and mildew resistant & free of any harmful organic substances. It is an environmentally safe and healthful material. It will not ignite or burn, or produce any hazardous gasses. Excellent for high humidity locales, with low heat conductivity and high insulating factors. It’s resistant to corrosion, easy to shape & cut and far stronger & superior to any paper-faced gypsum board. Excellent for partitions, ceilings, flooring, & roof sheathing.
• The Spray Foam Insulation hermetically seals a unit, protects roofs from high wind updrafts & provides the highest energy efficiency & savings of any type of insulation. Its superior thermal, moisture & condensation control, increases a units structural strength, improves indoor air quality, eliminates drafts, maintains a level interior temperature, is an excellent sound barrier, lowers energy costs 30%-50%, adapts to any structural shape, downsizes HVAC requirements, has no harmful ozone depleting emissions, eliminates much of the caulking, taping & sealing requirements, while providing the industry’s highest LEED credits.
Also Available: Exterior and Interior Stairs. Floor System, Solar Electric & Water, Gerard Roofing, Marble, Ceramic or Wood Flooring, Granite and Corian type Countertops, Doors, Hurricane Resistant Windows, Lighting, and European designed Kitchens and Baths, Furniture packages, HVAC systems, Appliances & much more.
With our strategic partner, Winning Business Solutions provides a product of unsurpassed quality with perfection in workmanship and design, all at a competitive price point. We doubt anyone can match these capabilities or can compete at this level, whether at quality, speed, or price point.
This system is construction’s “Next Generation Solution”.
