In today's modern world, the construction industry is moving towards methods that provide speed, strength and beauty at the same time. The northern provinces of the country and especially Gilan, due to special climatic conditions, high humidity and seismicity, need a special look in the selection of material and structural system. In the meantime, building a villa with a metal frame has found a special place as one of the most advanced and reliable methods. With a deep understanding of the region's needs and the use of modern engineering knowledge, the Bazazazan Shamal group has turned this method into its main expertise and has implemented long-lasting projects throughout Gilan. In this article, we are going to examine why metal structures are superior to other methods and the key role of expertise in their correct implementation.
Why metal frame is the best choice for building a villa in the north?
When talking about building a villa in the north, the first challenge that comes to mind is dealing with the humidity and instability of coastal or forest land. Building a villa with a metal frame is an engineered answer to all these concerns. Contrary to the old ideas that considered concrete as the only resistant solution, nowadays steel is the first choice of engineers in humid and earthquake prone areas due to its unique mechanical properties.
One of the most important reasons that Northern Beautifiers emphasizes on the use of metal structures is the high strength-to-weight ratio of steel. This feature makes metal buildings very strong while being light. In the loose lands of the north, where the bearing capacity of the soil is low, the lightness of the structure is considered a vital advantage and reduces the need for bulky and expensive foundations. In addition, steel is a homogeneous material and its properties are the same at all points of the structure, which is always associated with uncertainties in concrete.
execution speed; Saving time and money
In villa projects, time is gold. Prolonged construction not only exhausts capital, but is a major challenge in northern regions where seasonal rains can shut down construction sites for weeks. Building a villa with a metal frame has completely solved this problem. In this method, a major part of the parts manufacturing operation is done in the factory or indoor workshops, and only the installation and assembly operations are done at the project site.
Executive team of Basasazan Shamal, with detailed planning, transports the prefabricated parts of columns and beams to the site and completes the skeletonization of the building in the shortest possible time. This speed of action makes the project safe from sudden weather changes and the client reaches the exploitation stage much faster. Experience has shown that the execution speed of a metal villa can be up to 30% higher than a similar concrete structure. This means faster return of capital and earlier enjoyment of the dream villa.
earthquake resistance; The first priority of the beautifiers of the north
Iran is an earthquake-prone country and Gilan province is also located on active faults. Therefore, the life and financial safety of residents is the priority of any construction project. Building a villa with a metal frame due to the ductility of steel, has a very favorable behavior during an earthquake. Metal structures can absorb and depreciate the energy from an earthquake without suddenly collapsing.
Accounting engineers at Babasazan Shamal use advanced structural analysis software to design the connections and braces of the metal frame in such a way that they have maximum resistance against the lateral forces of wind and earthquake. In duplex or triplex villas, where the height of the structure increases, the importance of this issue doubles. The use of convergent or divergent bracing systems or bending frames in our designs guarantees the stability of the building in the most severe earthquakes.
Flexibility of architecture and creation of modern spaces
The architecture of today's villas has moved towards open spaces (Open Concept), tall windows and wide openings without columns. Achieving such designs with concrete structures is usually difficult and requires very thick beams that affect the beauty of the space. But building a villa with a metal frame leaves architects' hands open for creativity.
Steel allows covering large spans with finer beams. This means you can have a large reception hall without disturbing columns on the ground floor of your villa. By taking advantage of this feature, Besazazan Shamal designs villas with open and airy plans that allow a panoramic view of the surrounding nature. It is also possible to create long consoles (protrusions) and special geometric forms such as Swiss villas (A-Frame) or modern cubic villas, using a metal frame is much easier and more practical.
fight against corrosion; Technical expertise in humid climates
Perhaps the biggest concern of people about building a metal frame villa in the north is the issue of iron rust and corrosion. This concern is justified, but only if the work is entrusted to non-specialists. The science of metallurgical engineering and building chemistry has provided definitive solutions for this issue, and North Beauty Builders guarantees the durability of the structure by complying with the strictest standards.
The process of protecting the metal frame in our projects includes several steps. First, the steel surface is completely cleaned (sandblasted) to remove any grease and primary oxide. Then zinc-rich primers and multi-layer epoxy paints are used. These coatings act like a defensive shield and prevent oxygen and moisture from reaching the metal surface. In addition, in the design of executive details, the direct contact of the columns with wet soil is prevented and the connections are designed in such a way that rain water does not accumulate in them. With these measures, the useful life of the metal structure is guaranteed even in the harshest weather of Gilan.
Quality control and strict supervision in the northern beauty salons
The quality of a metal structure strongly depends on the quality of connections and weldings. A weak weld can be the Achilles heel of the whole building. For this reason, metal frame villa construction requires a skilled executive team and continuous engineering supervision. At Northern Beauties, we use skilled certified welders and all welding processes are subjected to Non-Destructive Testing (NDT).
Exact dimensional control of parts, verticality of columns and alignment of beams are other things that are controlled with high sensitivity. Contrary to concrete structures, where operational errors are hidden in the heart of the concrete, everything is obvious in the metal structure, and millimeter precision is the first word. This level of precision and obsession in execution leads to the construction of a villa that is not only structurally perfect, but also provides the basis for the clean and precise execution of the next steps (such as wall painting, door and window installation, and carpentry).
Compatibility with the environment and reducing construction waste
At a time when environmental protection has become a global concern, choosing green construction methods is very important. Building a villa with a metal frame is considered one of the environmentally friendly methods. Steel is a 100% recyclable material, and at the end of the useful life of the building, all structural materials can be recycled and returned to the production cycle.
Furthermore, the metal frame manufacturing process produces the least amount of construction waste. In traditional methods, a large amount of wood, plastic and concrete is wasted, which causes pollution of the beautiful nature of the north. But in the projects of Babasazan Shamal, due to the prefabricated parts and the high precision of cutting, the waste is minimized. Also, less movement of heavy machinery (such as concrete mixers) at the project site will make the peace of the environment and neighbors less disturbed.
Vertical expansion and easy addition
One of the attractive features of building a villa with a metal frame is its future development capability. Many employers may not have enough funds to build a multi-story villa at the beginning and want to add a floor to their building in the future. Connecting new columns to the existing metal structure is much easier and more reliable than concrete structures.
Screwed or welded connections allow the new structure to be fully integrated with the old structure. In the initial design of the foundation and columns, North Beauty Builders usually takes into account the necessary forecasts for possible future development so that the client can expand the space of his villa with the least cost and destruction. This flexibility doubles the value of investing in a metal frame.
Easy joinery and built-in installations
After the completion of the skeleton, it is time for the architectural and installation stages. In building a villa with a metal frame, it is much easier to pass utility pipes and channels through honeycomb beams or false ceiling voids. This allows the useful height of the floors to be maintained and there is no need for hanging putters that make the appearance of the ceiling ugly.
Also, the implementation of drywall walls (Drywall) or Kenaf on the metal structure is done very quickly and cleanly. The smooth surface of the steel profiles provides a suitable base for installing prefabricated walls and decorative coverings. Using this capability, the interior architecture teams of Basasazan Shamal implement modern and minimal interior designs that are equal to the world's standards. The precision of the metal structure ensures that the corners of the rooms are completely 90 degrees, and the installation of cabinets, flooring and baseboards is done with higher quality.
Added value and high liquidity
Investing in North properties has always been one of the ways to preserve and increase capital. A villa that is built with engineering methods and high-quality materials always has its own customers. Building a villa with a metal frame increases the value of the property dramatically due to its high durability and modernity. Today's informed buyers are well aware that an engineered metal structure will have lower maintenance costs in the future and higher safety.
The brand Babasazan Shamal is a well-known name with years of brilliant history in the region, and the villas built by this group have the status of a valid birth certificate. When the buyer knows that the structure of the villa was designed and implemented by the experts of this complex, he will make a transaction with more confidence. Therefore, choosing a metal frame not only provides you with comfort today, but is also a smart investment for the future.
Transportation and logistics challenges in the North
One of the difficulties of construction in some rural or forest areas of Gilan is difficult access and narrow roads. Transporting heavy and bulky materials such as ready concrete to these areas is sometimes impossible or very expensive. In this situation, building a villa with a metal frame is a saving solution. Metal parts have less weight and can be transported to the project site with smaller machines and multiple times.
Logistics team of Babasazan Shamal develops the best transportation and installation strategy for each project with full knowledge of the geography of the region. Even in the most inaccessible areas, a strong metal villa can be built using special installation techniques. This feature means that you are not limited to urban areas and can have your dream villa in the most pristine parts of Gilan's nature.
The importance of accurate snow and wind load calculations
In the climate of Gilan, in addition to earthquakes, environmental loads such as heavy snow and strong winds must also be considered in the design of the structure. Pitched roofs, which are the symbol of northern architecture, must be able to withstand heavy snow loads without being deformed. In building a villa with a metal frame, the roof profiles (purlins and trusses) are carefully calculated to transfer the load to the columns correctly.
Also, the wind force in coastal and open areas can cause a lot of lateral pressure to the building. Due to the integrity of the connections, the metal structure acts like a single object against the wind. The engineers of Babasazan Shamal, taking into account the national loading regulations and the specific conditions of the region (Gilan microclimate), design a structure that is completely stable and safe against seasonal storms.
Long-term cost optimization
At first glance, the initial cost of buying iron may seem a little higher than concrete, but if we look at the entire life cycle of the building, building a villa with a metal frame is more economical. Reduced construction time (which means reduced labor wages and workshop costs), reduced foundation volume, increased useful infrastructure (due to thinner columns) and lower maintenance costs in later years, all make the final cost of the project reasonable and cost-effective.
Babasazan Shamal tries to provide the best cost price to employers by optimally managing resources and eliminating middlemen in the supply of materials. Financial transparency and providing accurate estimates before starting the project are one of our work principles so that the client can make a decision with an open mind.
conclusion; The beautifiers of the North, a symbol of trust in metal structures
