01 MANUFACTURING
FLUID.DBT is a leading manufacturer of LGSF sections in the USA, with a reputation for excellence and innovation. Our state-of-the-art FRAMECAD machine is specifically designed to produce large-scale cold-formed steel (CFS) constructions at a faster pace, using an advanced steel framing automated process. This process employs computer-derived calculations to ensure the precise manufacturing of LGSF products, including walls, floor joists, roof trusses, and other components. Each component is detailed precisely before being positioned within the steel sections. Our LGSF products are thoroughly tested for various factors such as wind and earthquake impacts, load-bearing capacity, and more, to ensure optimal performance and durability.
02DESIGN
FLUID.DBT is a company that specializes in the design of Light Gauge Steel Frame (LGSF) structures. With years of experience in this field, we have developed a team of highly skilled and experienced professionals who are dedicated to designing the best LGSF structures for our clients. Our in-house design team is well-versed in the latest LGSF design software and is able to optimize your structure's design to ensure the best possible outcome. We take a comprehensive approach to LGSF design, taking into account the unique needs and requirements of each project.
03PRE-DESIGNED HOMES
FLUID.DBT boasts a highly skilled team of architects, engineers, and designers who are committed to constructing spacious and sustainable homes tailored to meet your specific requirements. We employ a cutting-edge manufacturing process for our LGSF-based homes, carried out within a controlled factory environment offsite. Prior to installation, steel frames are fabricated to exact specifications, ensuring consistency and precision. Once onsite, the steel fabricated modules are expertly assembled using hold-downs, screws, and other methods to ensure accurate sizing and provide the necessary structural integrity for a safe and stable home.

Our buildings are meticulously crafted to exacting tolerances, ensuring optimal precision and accuracy. With a superior strength-to-weight ratio, LGSF structures are engineered to withstand even the most extreme loads, including 240km/h winds, zone IV seismic forces in accordance with the International Building Code, and up to 3 feet of snow loading. Additionally, our factory-based manufacturing environment upholds exceptional quality standards by exercising rigorous control over the entire construction process. This approach consistently delivers top-tier quality while also promoting efficiency and reducing waste.
LGSF buildings offer significant energy savings, requiring up to 68% less energy for construction compared to traditional building methods. In addition, our buildings utilize ozone-friendly insulation materials in the walls, roof, and floor, minimizing environmental impact. Furthermore, our construction process significantly reduces the number of vehicle movements to and from the site, resulting in up to 90% fewer emissions and less pollution. Our approach to construction also prioritizes minimizing noise and dust levels on the construction site, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable building process.
Light gauge steel technology reduces waste and lowers disposal and removal costs. Our precision-engineered structural components are fabricated to exact specifications, minimizing the amount of excess material produced. Any waste generated during the manufacturing process is recycled in our production center. Moreover, steel is 100% recyclable, making it an environmentally responsible choice that does not contribute to the depletion of natural resources or degradation of the environment. By utilizing this sustainable approach to construction, we are able to minimize waste and create a more efficient and eco-friendly building process.
LGSF building techniques can significantly reduce the time required for construction, by up to 50%. This shortened construction timeline allows for earlier return on investment and an expedited project completion schedule. By utilizing this innovative construction technology, our clients benefit from a streamlined building process that maximizes efficiency, minimizes delays, and delivers an exceptional end product.
Light gauge steel technology offers superior fire resistance and termite protection. Unlike combustible materials, such as wood, light gauge steel is non-combustible and does not contribute to the spread of a fire. Our buildings can be designed for 1.5 to 2 hours of fire rating, exceeding the typical 1-hour fire rating for conventional structures. Furthermore, steel is impervious to termites, providing greater resistance against termite damage than structures built with traditional materials. Since steel is not a food source for insects, such as termites, structures built with LGSF technology offer a more robust and long-lasting solution, minimizing the need for costly repairs and maintenance
Light Gauge Steel Framing (LGSF) is an allergen-free, mold-free, and toxin-free building material. This makes it a preferred choice for those with allergies and asthma. In recognition of its health benefits, the Asthma Society of Canada has endorsed LGSF as a product that improves a building's indoor air quality. By reducing the presence of allergens and irritants, LGSF technology may help to alleviate symptoms for allergy and asthma sufferers, providing a safer and healthier living environment.
