“Thanks to FRAMECAD’s steel frame building systems, our production has gone up by 800% from last year.”
ADSBS (Abu Dhabi Steel Building Systems) installed a high volume workforce accommodation turnkey solution - a combination of various manufacturing plants, integrated software, supply chain and services delivering a sure path to consistent, high-quality productivity that will continue to grow with their production requirements.
Building standards in Abu Dhabi are demanding and architecture is generally sophisticated. The relationship between FRAMECAD and ADSBS began in 2006. ADSBS ordered their first FRAMECAD manufacturing solution to trial the product. The resulting two-storey accommodation block was a total success, and before long ADSBS ordered a second plant from FRAMECAD.
Operating from an open-air factory, ADSBS churned through more than 1000 tonnes of light gauge steel during the first 18 months of operation. The plant works six days a week. A FRAMECAD service contract ensures that regular maintenance checks are performed to limit downtime.
Eng. Obaid Al Kaabi, Group Managing Director of Industrial Development Company LLC, is impressed with the FRAMECAD hardware. “The machines are excellent - very durable, even working outside in 45 degrees,” he said. Al Kaabi also reports that FRAMECAD’s customer support is more than living up to expectations.
Nader Elhajj - Director of Business Development for FRAMECAD - assisted ADSBS with the local municipality’s approval process, helping them to gain approval to build up to three-storey buildings with 1.2mm light gauge steel framing. This was a major feat, because UAE has famously exacting standards for construction approval. ADSBS has based its business entirely on the capability of the FRAMECAD steel frame building system, and the efficiency of the system has fuelled the company’s growth.
“Thanks to FRAMECAD’s steel frame building systems our production has gone up by 800% from last year,” said Mr. Obaid Al Kaabi. The nature of ADSBS’s work is changing as the company adds more steel frame manufacturing capacity. ADSBS has also taken advantage of the FRAMECAD steel frame building system new technology to improve and extend their headquarters in Abu Dhabi.
Geared to attract local residents, Sagebrush is a 90-unit building nestled in the foothills of East Gros Ventre Butte and overlooking Flat Creek. Perfectly situated near downtown Jackson, Sagebrush aims to be one of the most popular complexes in the area — and a project Douglass Colony was proud to work on.
When FrameTech Systems outgrew their existing manufacturing facility, they knew it was time for a bigger, more flexible space. As experts in cold formed steel (CFS) construction, they also knew exactly which method they would use to bring that space to life. So how did their award-winning CFS facility come to fruition?
Having made the switch to FRAMECAD’s automated construction system in April 2016, prefabricated steel framing experts SBS Group have used their FRAMECAD system to make significant savings for their customers whilst delivering an accelerated construction process.
SBS Group are continuously working to deliver exceptional results for their customers in a fast and effective manner. The Langdon Apartments are another great example of their dedication to providing accurate, high quality Cold Formed Steel solutions.
