What you need
A building that is on budget, on time and easy to lease
For an investor or developer, every month of construction is a month without rent. The steel frame is usually the largest single cost of a warehouse, car park or commercial building, and the one that sets the programme.
You need a supplier that fixes the price early, designs the structure for the tenants you want to attract and delivers on a date you can promise. And you want a building that will still lease well in twenty years.
- A firm steel price before you commit to the project
- A handover date you can put in the lease
- Wide, column-free space that suits many tenants
- Repeatable designs for several phases or sites
- Durable paint and roof systems for the Thai climate

FAQ
Questions Thai clients ask us
Can you price a project before we buy the land?
Yes. With the building size and use we give a budget price and a structural concept, so you can test the business case early.
Do you build the project?
No. We are the manufacturer and supplier of the steel structure. Your Thai contractor builds it, and we support them with drawings, an erection manual and a site advisor on request.
Can the same design be used for several phases?
Yes. We keep one standard design and update it for each phase, so cost and quality stay the same.
Can the building take a mezzanine or crane later?
Yes, if we know now. We design the frame with the provision, so it can be added without strengthening.
