The SAFBUILD magic is resident in the tremendous speed it takes , literally less than half the time that would otherwise be spend by the customer in getting any other way of constructing a similar structure . As we say you dream it , we build it with SAFBUILD ! And this is made possible through our end-to-end revolutionary design software , SAFDESIGN .
unlimited building length allowance , fully , partially or wholly unclad walls options , SAFBUILD offers a flexible , practical , value-for-money enclosure for all manner of human space-use needs . We liaise with the project consultants to avail all technical details required at both the design and implementation phases of the project and further offer erection supervision at site to ensure quality and design standards are met .
All this departs from the market norm of heavy , hot-rolled steel construction that is slower , laborious and often given to site rework . The SAFBUILD customer ; fabricators and end-users alike , enjoy a fully factory-engineered yet customized solution ; leading to a very quick-toinstall and maintenance-free building that remains in pristine condition for generations . The galvanized steel structural members take out the headache of manual corrosion-treatment of steel and by using lighter , higher tensilestrength members , SAFBUILD yields a reduced overall building weight that does not require heavy handling machinery without compromise to strength .
The common local construction methods for warehouses and sheds using solid masonry and reinforcedconcrete framing compares even more unfavorably to SAFBUILD ; leading to slow , environmentally-deficient methods and yielding a thermally-inefficient , unadaptable mass . SAFBUILD ’ s light construction is conversely quick , has minimal impact on the environment and the structures can be easily relocated as space use and planning develops on site .
