FAQ

LGSF offers unmatched advantages: Speed: Up to 60% faster build times. Strength: Steel doesn’t warp, shrink, or rot. Precision: Every component is digitally designed for accuracy. Sustainability: 100% recyclable and low waste. Fire & Pest Resistance: Naturally resistant to mold, termites, and fire. For developers, this means lower labor costs, predictable timelines, and long-term ROI.

Absolutely. LGSF is highly versatile — ideal for homes, condos, schools, offices, warehouses, and modular units. Whether you’re building a single-family home or a multi-story complex, DestNest’s LGSF solutions scale effortlessly while maintaining structural integrity and design flexibility.

Project timelines vary by size, but on average, LGSF projects are 30–50% faster than traditional builds. Because the frames are factory-made and pre-engineered, on-site assembly becomes a precise installation process rather than manual framing — saving both time and labor.

Prefabrication: Steel components are manufactured in a factory to exact specifications, allowing for faster on-site assembly and more precise construction. Reduced Labor Needs: Prefabricated steel framing can often be installed by a smaller crew, which can be an advantage where labor is scarce. Dimensional Stability: Steel does not warp or split due to moisture changes, which helps maintain consistent quality and allows for quicker interior finishing work. Predictable Workflows: The precision of steel components means the work is more predictable, allowing for faster progress for subsequent trades like electricians and plumbers. Factors That Influence the Overall Timeline Design Complexity: More complex or custom home designs can extend the overall build time. Permits and Site Preparation: Time is required for obtaining permits, preparing the site, and conducting inspections, which are part of the total project duration. Interior and Finishing Work: Interior work, custom finishes, and specialty items can significantly increase the time needed after the frame is up. Subcontractor and Vendor Coordination: The efficiency of managing subcontractors and sourcing materials from multiple vendors can impact the speed of the project. Bad Weather: Adverse weather conditions can cause delays at any stage of construction.

While the initial material cost of steel may be slightly higher, LGSF saves significantly in the overall project cost through reduced labor, faster completion, lower maintenance, and higher durability. Over time, it provides a better return on investment, especially for developers focused on energy efficiency and longevity.
