Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions Regarding This Topic

Clear technical answers backed by European standards and practical manufacturing experience.

No. LGSF framing is 100% dry screw-assembled without any welding. Individual studs weigh only 4 to 12 kg each, allowing manual handling by a 4-person crew. A standard light telehandler is sufficient for lifting assembled roof trusses.

The kit includes 100% of CNC roll-formed S350GD galvanized steel studs, tracks, and trusses with inkjet part codes, structural self-drilling screws (+10% spare), Simpson hold-down brackets, foundation anchor bolts, and 3D visual assembly blueprints.

Yes. Over 80% of our clients build using their local carpentry, drywall, or masonry contractors. Our color-coded 3D manuals and pre-punched screw dimples make assembly intuitive and straightforward.
