Off-site construction embodies the future of the industry, offering sustainable and circular solutions that address environmental challenges while transforming traditional practices.
“Providing a positive response to global humanitarian challenges through the built environment.”
Hélène de Troostembergh – CEO of BuildUp.
The construction industry is one of the main sources of carbon emissions and consumes a significant share of global natural resources. Today, off-site construction is emerging as the “new standard“, thanks to its efficiency, cost control, material optimization, and environmentally friendly approach.
Our ambition is to build to last and sustainably transform the construction sector.
Together, let’s inspire a new way of building and renovating that is more sustainable and responsible.
The advantages of beSteel’s lightweight steel frame in 9 points
-
Reduction of Environmental Impact Off-site construction reduces the carbon footprint through optimized processes and efficient use of resources.
-
Waste Reduction Streamlined production processes reduce material waste, ensuring responsible management of resources.
-
Lower CO emissions By limiting transport and incorporating recycled materials, off-site construction significantly reduces CO emissions.
-
Effective Waste Management Each production step is designed to minimize and manage waste, making projects cleaner and more sustainable.
-
Energy Efficiency Energy performance monitoring and maintenance systems prevent energy losses, ensuring optimal efficiency throughout the building’s life cycle.
Energy Renovation with Retrofitting
To achieve its climate goals by 2030, the European Union must focus on deep energy renovations that sustainably improve the building stock. However, the sector is in crisis and progressing too slowly: approximately 6,000 homes need to be renovated each day to meet these ambitions, a currently unrealistic pace. This is why off-site construction and the retrofitting method are becoming essential solutions for effectively transforming existing buildings.
The Metal Frame at beSteel
At beSteel, we combine lightweight steel and off-site manufacturing for clean, waste-free, and environmentally friendly construction sites. Lightweight steel stands out for its exceptional qualities: strength, lightness, durability, and recyclability, making it a superior choice compared to most traditional building materials. We have even conducted a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and obtained an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), confirming the reduced environmental impact of the lightweight steel frame.
