Today, there is a great demand for commercial buildings, especially in cities: office buildings, shopping malls, showrooms, hyper-supermarkets. With these commercial buildings, there are 2 important factors you have to consider: the servicing and the fit-out. That means the building structure has to be sufficiently flexible to meet the diversity and different requirements. The optimal solution is steel structure buildings that have a lot of advantages including: the ability to provide column free floor spans, efficient circulation space, integration of building services, and the influence of the site and local access conditions on the construction process.

Speed of construction
The commercial sector demands buildings that are rapid to construct, of high quality, flexible and adaptable in application, and energy efficient in use. Steel structure, and in particular, composite construction has achieved over 70% market shares in this sector in the UK where the benefits of long spans: speed of construction; service integration; improved quality; and reduced environmental impact are widely recognized.

Available with small construction sites
All steel construction uses pre-fabricated components that are rapidly installed on site. Short construction periods leads to savings in site preliminaries, earlier return on investment and reduced interest charges. Time related savings can easily amount to 3 to 5% of the overall project value, reducing the client’s requirements for working capital and improving cash flow. In many inner city projects, it is important to reduce disruption to nearby buildings and roads. Steel construction dramatically reduces the impact of the construction operation on the locality.

Few columns – more space
Long spans allow the space to be arranged to suit open plan offices, different layouts of cellular offices and variations in office layout throughout the height of the building. Where integrated beam construction is used, the flat soffit gives complete flexibility of layout allowing all internal walls to be relocated, leading to fully adaptable buildings.
Competitive price
A steel structure building is inexpensive to manufacture, requires less maintenance than other traditional building methods. Moreover, 98% of all steel structure can be recycled into new steel products without reducing physical properties.
Sustainable buildings
Building with steel structure is a GREEN choice! We can build strong, beautiful commercial buildings while protecting the environment.
Steel recycling reduces solid waste, resulting in substantially less landfill usage and conservation of natural resources. When you frame a 6-storey building with wood, you use approximately 240 trees. When you frame a 6-storey building with steel structure, you use approximately 66 recycled cars. Especially, this large amount of recycled steel reduces both the cost and the environmental impact of making new steel. While many other building materials are dumped by the ton into landfills, steel is always 100% recyclable.
As the leading steel structure contractor in ASEAN, ATAD has contributed to the development of steel structure industry as well as commercial building construction. Through the years, ATAD has developed various commercial buildings including workshops, warehouses, showrooms, plazas, exhibition centers, supermarkets, railway stations, airports and so on… To see more about ATAD’s building projects, please visit here.
