Two Storey Residential using LGS/CFS System

Project Overview: This project involved the structural design and engineering of a two-storey, 36-square-meter residential unit utilizing a Light Gauge Steel (LGS) framing system. The design focused on achieving a durable, cost-efficient, and fast-to-build structure ideal for compact urban housing developments. Scope of Services: Madhouse Engineering Consultancy provided a comprehensive structural design package, including: Structural concept development based on the Light Gauge Steel (LGS) system for modular and lightweight construction. Structural analysis and member sizing using advanced engineering software to ensure strength, stability, and compliance with building codes. Connection detailing, wall framing, and truss layout design optimized for easy fabrication and assembly on-site. Preparation of detailed construction drawings and technical specifications for contractor implementation and quality assurance. Design Highlights: Utilization of cold-formed steel framing for walls, floors, and roof systems—offering superior strength-to-weight ratio. Reduced construction time and material waste through prefabricated LGS components. Improved durability and resistance to corrosion, pests, and fire compared to traditional wood framing. Structural layout designed to allow flexibility for future expansion or modular replication. Outcome: The project successfully demonstrates Madhouse Engineering Consultancy’s capability to deliver innovative, lightweight, and efficient structural designs using modern construction technologies—making it an ideal solution for affordable and sustainable residential housing.
