ADAY Light Steel Frame System

Engineered Light Steel Structures from Digital Design to Manufacturing

The ADAY Steel Frame System is a light steel construction system developed for the project-specific design and manufacture of load-bearing building structures.

Rather than adapting a building to predefined structural modules, the steel structure can be developed according to the architectural design, building geometry, structural requirements and intended use of each project.

The system combines structural engineering, digital modelling, precision manufacturing and prefabrication, creating a coordinated process from architectural plans to the finished steel structure.

 

How the ADAY Steel Frame System Works

Every project begins with the architectural design.

Based on the geometry and requirements of the building, the load-bearing steel structure is developed and structurally engineered for the individual project.

The structural model is then translated into manufacturing information for the production of the individual steel components.

1. Architectural Design

Floor plans, sections, elevations, openings, roof geometry and other project information provide the basis for developing the structural system.

2. Structural Engineering

The load-bearing structure is designed according to the geometry, loads, spans, connections and other project-specific structural requirements.

3. Digital Structural Modelling

The steel structure is developed as a coordinated digital model. Individual structural components, openings, connections and manufacturing information can be defined before production begins.

4. Automated Manufacturing

Manufacturing data generated from the digital model is transferred to automated roll-forming equipment.

The steel profiles are cold-formed, punched and cut according to the manufacturing data of the individual project.

5. Prefabrication

The manufactured profiles can be assembled into structural elements before delivery or prepared for efficient assembly on site, depending on the project and construction process.

6. Transport and Assembly

The prepared structural components are transported to the construction site and assembled to form the load-bearing steel structure.

Architecture → Engineering → Digital Model → Manufacturing → Prefabrication → Assembly

 

Precision Starts Before Construction

One of the main advantages of digitally designed and manufactured light steel construction is that a significant part of the structural process can be coordinated before work begins on site.

Dimensions, openings, structural connections and individual components can be incorporated into the digital model and prepared during manufacturing.

This reduces the need for unnecessary cutting and modification on site and creates a more controlled structural assembly process.

 

Why Light Steel?

Light steel construction combines relatively low structural weight with precise prefabrication and considerable design flexibility.

The ADAY Steel Frame System can provide several practical advantages:

• low structural weight,
• precision-manufactured components,
• dry construction technology,
• efficient structural assembly,
• prefabrication possibilities,
• efficient transport and handling,
• flexibility for different architectural concepts,
• suitability for both new construction and certain extensions or additional storeys.

 

Galvanized Cold-Formed Steel Structure

The structural elements are manufactured from galvanized steel using a cold-forming process.

The galvanized surface provides corrosion protection for the thin-walled steel profiles, while cold-forming enables the production of precise structural components according to the digital manufacturing model.

The final structural configuration, profile arrangement, connections and other structural details are determined according to the requirements of the individual project.

 

Designed for the Individual Project

There is no single steel frame configuration suitable for every building.

Building geometry, spans, openings, number of storeys, roof configuration, location and structural loads all influence the final structural solution.

For this reason, structural design is an integral part of the ADAY system.

The objective is simple:

The structure is designed around the building – not the building around the structure.

 

One Structural System. Different Building Types.

The ADAY Steel Frame System can be used as the structural basis for a wide range of projects.

Steel-Framed Family Houses

Custom-designed light steel structures for detached residential buildings.

ADAY Steel SIP

An integrated solution combining light steel framing with a prefabricated insulated building envelope.

Apartment Buildings

Project-specific light steel structures for residential developments and multi-unit buildings.

Commercial and Office Buildings

Light steel structural solutions for commercial properties, offices and other business developments.

Industrial and Custom Structures

Steel structural solutions for industrial, agricultural and other project-specific applications.

 

Energy Performance Is More Than the Steel Frame

The steel structure alone does not determine the energy performance of a building.

Wall, roof and floor build-ups, thermal insulation, windows and doors, airtightness, thermal bridge detailing and building services all contribute to the performance of the completed building.

For projects where the light steel structure and insulated building envelope are considered as an integrated solution, explore the ADAY Steel SIP System.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a light steel frame system?

A light steel frame system uses cold-formed steel profiles to create the load-bearing structure of a building. The structural configuration is developed according to the architectural design, loads, geometry and requirements of the individual project.

Is every ADAY steel structure individually designed?

Yes. The structural solution is developed for the individual building rather than selected from a fixed catalogue of standard structures.

Building geometry, spans, openings, roof configuration, number of storeys and structural loads are among the factors considered during structural design.

How are ADAY light steel profiles manufactured?

The structure is developed digitally and manufacturing information is generated for the individual structural components.

This data is transferred to automated roll-forming equipment, where the galvanized steel profiles are cold-formed, punched and cut according to the manufacturing information.

How is the steel structure protected against corrosion?

The structural elements are manufactured from galvanized steel. The galvanized surface provides corrosion protection for the thin-walled steel profiles.

Correct design, detailing and moisture management are also important for the long-term durability of the complete building.

Can the system be used for extensions and additional storeys?

Yes. The relatively low structural weight of light steel framing can make it particularly suitable for certain extensions, additional storeys and roof conversions.

The existing building and foundations must always be assessed to determine whether the proposed additional loads can be safely accommodated.

What is the difference between ADAY Steel Frame and ADAY Steel SIP?

The ADAY Steel Frame System provides the engineered load-bearing light steel structure of the building.

The ADAY Steel SIP System combines the light steel structural concept with a prefabricated insulated building-envelope solution.

Steel Frame → load-bearing structure
Steel SIP → light steel structure + insulated building envelope
