Steel frames for Thai schools, campuses and hospitals
Classroom blocks, campus buildings, clinics, hospital extensions and elderly-care centres. Multi-storey steel frames that go up during term breaks, keep floors flexible and carry the services modern buildings need.

Education and healthcare in Thailand
Buildings that grow without stopping classes or care
Thailand's private schools, international schools, universities and vocational colleges keep adding space, and an ageing population is driving demand for clinics, hospital extensions and elderly-care centres in Bangkok and the provinces.
These owners share one constraint: the existing school or hospital must keep running. Steel frames are prefabricated off site and erected quickly with less noise, dust and site traffic than in-situ concrete, and long spans keep floors flexible for future classrooms, wards or labs.
- Fast, quieter erection next to occupied buildings
- Long-span floors that can be re-planned later
- Services zones for HVAC, medical gases and IT
- Fire protection to the required rating
Your challenges, our answers
What schools and healthcare owners ask us, and how we solve it
Challenge 02
Working next to patients and students
Our answer
Less site noise, dust and traffic because members arrive finished and bolt together.
Challenge 03
Floors that may change use
Our answer
Long-span composite floors with few columns, so rooms can be re-planned.
Challenge 04
Heavy services in hospitals
Our answer
Floor and roof steel designed for HVAC, medical equipment and service zones.
Challenge 05
Fire safety for occupied buildings
Our answer
Intumescent protection to the rating required, coordinated with escape routes.
Challenge 06
Public and donor budgets
Our answer
Clear scope and documents that fit tenders and approvals.

Questions Thai clients ask us
Can a steel building go up during a school break?
Often yes. The frame is fabricated before the break and erected quickly with bolted connections; the programme depends on the size and your contractor's plan.
Is steel safe in a fire for schools and hospitals?
Yes, when protected. We apply intumescent paint to the fire rating required by the authority for the building.
Have you built education or healthcare buildings?
Yes. Our portfolio includes a college of medicine in the Philippines, a general hospital in Vietnam and a childcare centre in Australia.
Can you extend a running hospital?
Yes. We design extensions that connect to existing buildings and plan deliveries to limit disruption.
