Rapid Building Systems (RBS) uses a building technology that produces and delivers the most advanced light gauge steel wall frames & roof truss technology. The technology seamlessly integrate our software technology with steel roll-forming machines to provide durable solutions for both the residential and commercial construction markets.
What sets RBS apart is its blend of technology that combines steel structures with our Trade Mark Ace Interlocking Modular Building System (Ai. Modular System). The Ai. Modular System introduces a revolutionary construction method utilizing precision-engineered interlocking blocks, columns, and lintels. The benefits of affordability, rapid construction, eco-friendliness, enhanced strength, and versatility of the RBS building technology are second to none.
STEEL VS CONCRETE BLOCKS?
While there’s no doubt that concrete block is a sturdy material, steel is one of the strongest and longest-lasting construction materials you can use. Steel holds up very well when it comes to regular wear and tear and also stands up against extreme weather.
Over time block can deteriorate or even crumble in the event of an accident or direct impact. Block can also be susceptible to extreme weather, and in some cases, block can require regular maintenance. Steel buildings require little to no maintenance and can stand up in the face of bad weather and even regular wear and tear. Steel saves money over time because it doesn’t require regular maintenance, repairs, and general upkeep.
Building with blocks comes with a number of time-consuming steps, including creating and placing formwork, mixing and pouring concrete, waiting for the curing process to take place, and form removal. While steel buildings do require a concrete foundation, they can be faster to build overall because there are fewer steps involved. Concrete is an inherently heavy material and its weight is often taken into consideration in the structural engineering of the building.
Concrete structures need to be designed with extra measures to stay standing when seismic activity in earthquakes. In contrast, steel buildings can easily be designed to be prepared for the dynamic loading conditions imposed by earthquake activity.
Rapid Building Systems uses the innovative development of light gauge steel technology for the residential and commercial construction industries.
Light-steel technology has been providing world-leading solutions for the manufacture of steel frames and trusses for both the residential and commercial construction markets since its inception in 1995.
The advantages of building with steel are endless:
- The strength of steel building systems lowers material and equipment costs compared to block and concrete construction.
- Steel buildings are cheaper to build than cement block buildings. Masonry buildings are very labor intensive as they require laying brick or concrete blocks manually. These steel panels are cut to size in the factory and attached to the framing during construction with stainless steel crews.
- The prefabrication of RBS significantly cuts construction time, saving time and money on labor. The straightforward nature of framing and steel construction requires fewer skilled workers than using only block or concrete methods, further cutting construction costs. Faster completion time also lowers interim financing and builders’ risk insurance costs.
- Concrete’s increased weight requires thicker, more costly foundations to keep it steady, unlike lightweight steel structures. Architecture and engineering for a brick and mortar or concrete block building will add about 15% to the project.
