What Are the Stages of Building a Steel House?
Recently, steel house construction, which is preferred for its ease of construction, safety, and spacious living area, has become quite popular. Steel houses, constructed in varying time frames depending on the user’s needs, the size of the land, and the materials used, are fully completed within a maximum of 2 months. Steel is widely chosen in the construction sector due to the healthy, comfortable, and livable spaces it offers, along with its earthquake-resistant qualities.There are several stages involved in the construction of a steel house. These stages are defined within a framework of rules that must be followed step-by-step to ensure the steel house is built safely and without issues.
Stage 1: Communication
Before starting the construction of a steel house, it is essential for our client to contact Özoksteel to discuss certain preparations and decide on how the process will proceed. Ensuring that this communication phase is as productive as possible helps discuss your needs, the land size, materials to be used, and an all-encompassing budget, allowing for a solid plan.
Stage 2: Project and Design
Once the first stage is completed, it is crucial to create a project and complete design work to continue the professionally initiated process. The drawing stage is important as it requires good planning to determine the living area conditions, form, and aesthetics. For the placement of the building to fit the site conditions and obtain approval, the project and design must be done according to engineering standards.
Stage 3: Pre-Production
After obtaining approval for the design, the pre-production stage begins. In the factory, steel structures are precisely produced using computer-controlled machinery to create wall panels and load-bearing columns, which are then shipped to the construction site along with doors, insulation materials, and other components.
Stage 4: Ground and Site Preparation
To successfully implement the project and ensure a solid and secure structure, the ground conditions need to be prepared accordingly. Proper ground preparation is essential for building stability. Site preparation includes processes such as pouring the foundation slab and adjusting anchor bolts for the building.
Stage 5: Framing
The experienced engineers, technicians, and workers at Özoksteel assemble the pre-produced materials with completed ground and site preparation using smart screws, rivets, and bolts to make it earthquake-resistant.
Stage 6: Assembly and Cladding
Once the frame is assembled, the joining and cladding processes can begin. In this stage, wall panels are installed and fixed to the secondary frame. Insulation is also done during this phase. After the walls are secured, roof panels are assembled..png)
Stage 7: Accessories and Finishing
The final step involves enhancing the steel structure with selected accessories. Doors, windows, ventilation systems, fans, and skylights are completed in this stage.
Permits Required for Building a Steel House
Before starting the construction of a steel house, several permits must be obtained, just like for any other construction project. First, a zoning permit must be secured to construct a steel house on the designated site. Following the zoning permit, the structure owner or their legal representative must apply for a building permit with the zoning department of the municipality or provincial administration. This application should include the title deed, architectural project, structural project, electrical and plumbing projects, drawings and calculations, and a scaled sketch or dimensional plan if a reference sketch is not available. The purpose of these permits is to ensure that the building, whether a residence, business, agricultural, or livestock facility, or its annexes, complies with laws and regulations.Documents Required for Steel House Construction
Steel constructions require several documents according to Article 20 of the Zoning Law:- Document regarding zoning status
- Title deed of the construction site
- Map plan sample
- Consent form from co-owners if the land is co-owned
- Steel house project
- Information regarding the building's electrical and water installations
Building Permit for Steel House
Before starting the construction of a steel house, it is necessary to obtain a permit from government institutions. This permit is not specific to steel constructions; it is the same permit required for other buildings. However, for the structural calculations submitted to the municipality, a certificate is obtained for the building within the project. A copy of this certificate is provided to construction inspection companies, and if approved, permission and occupancy permits are granted. The building must be completed within five years; if not, a new permit must be obtained. For steel structures, lower fees are paid compared to reinforced concrete buildings.What Types of Structures Can Be Made Using Steel?
Steel has become increasingly used in the construction sector. This versatile material is preferred for the construction of:
- Houses
- Villas
- Apartment buildings
- Prefabricated houses
- Sports facilities
- Hangars and warehouses
- Factory buildings
- Workshops
You can contact Özoksteel for detailed information about steel structures that are much more durable than reinforced concrete structures and feature modern aesthetics; you can also start designing your projects.
