Steel-framed Construction is a building method that relies on a skeleton frame of steel columns and beams, typically fashioned from rolled steel sections. Renowned for its strength, durability, and flexibility, this method allows for taller and more slender buildings with larger open interior spaces compared to traditional concrete structures. The versatility of steel framing enables architects and engineers to push the boundaries of design, leading to innovative shapes and forms in modern architecture.
