Although the construction of structures in steel frame has been widely used
across a diverse range of applications, there are a number of features which
should be considered. We can now offer some key answers to common
questions about our revolutionary construction system.

Q: Can I build without planning permission?
A: No, all licensing issues for steel-build housing follows the same
procedures as traditional-build properties.

Q: Is the steel-build solution cheaper?
A: No, it is comparable with high quality traditional construction.

Q: But, if it is quicker to build than traditional methods, why isn’t it less expensive?
A: Algarve Steelbuild materials are high quality and certified.

In a steel-build scenario, materials represent 70% of costs, 30% labour.
The exact opposite is true of traditional construction.

Q: How long does steel-build construction take?
A: Roughly, from license approval onwards, for a 200m2 property it
takes eight months to receive the key to your home.

Q: Is steel-build safer than traditional construction?
A: Yes, due to massively reduced weight, seismic stresses are minimal.

Q: What kind of structures can you build?
A: Basically anything! Any form of architecture is possible, while
larger open areas are possible than with traditional construction methods.
We can build a house that would be impossible with concrete.

Q: Doesn’t the steel rust?
A: No. The steel is of the highest galvanisation grade and guaranteed by
government certification.
