Light Gauge Steel (LGS) panelization is an off-site construction method where wall, floor, and roof components are engineered, cold-formed, and assembled into panels in a controlled factory setting. These pre-fabricated panels are then delivered to the site for rapid, precise assembly, significantly reducing construction time, labor costs, and job site waste. Key benefits include high structural strength, fire resistance, and improved energy efficiency.

Key Aspects of LGS Panelization

• Production Process: LGS components are fabricated using automated machinery that cuts, punches, and shapes steel (ranging from 1mm to 3mm thickness). These are assembled into panels in jigs to ensure high precision and consistency.

• Efficiency & Speed: Panelized systems are designed for quick on-site erection, often referred to as "snapping together," which can drastically shorten project timelines.

• Quality Control: Because panels are built in a controlled, indoor environment, they are less susceptible to weather delays and human error.

• Sustainability: The process generates less on-site waste, often reducing the need for large dumpsters on site.

• Applications: LGS panelization is used for residential, commercial, and modular construction.

Advantages Over Traditional Methods

• Reduced Labor: As demand for skilled labor increases, LGS panelization helps overcome shortages.

• Durability: Steel is non-combustible and termite-resistant.

• Precision: 3D modelling and automated production allow for tight tolerances, which reduces errors in the fie
