Key design principles for two-storey light steel villa houses

Build your ideal home at once！

　　1. Terrain adaptability design

　　Mountainous areas: adopt sloping roof + retreat design to reduce the difficulty of foundation excavation.

　　Plain area: focus on lighting and ventilation, suggest the layout of north-south long axis.

　　2. Functional zoning of space

　　Suggested area functional configuration

　　Master bedroom suite 25-35 square metres cloakroom + bathroom + landscape balcony

　　Family living room 40-50 square metres fusion dining room + film and television entertainment functions

　　Warehouse space 20-30 square metres can be flexibly separated from the tool room / garage

　　3.Material selection criteria

　　Structural system: give priority to assembly building technology

　　Exterior wall: real stone paint / imitation stone coating (strong weather resistance)

　　Roof: double-layer sandwich panels (integrated thermal insulation and waterproofing)

　　III. Points of management of construction process of once-built construction

　　Three-stage control method

　　Pre-planning stage: establish BIM model to preview construction difficulties.

　　Construction stage: implement the system of ‘weekly meeting + hidden project acceptance’.

　　Acceptance stage: introduce a third-party testing organisation to carry out whole-house quality inspection.

　　Key node control

　　Foundation treatment: depth of holding layer ≥1.5m

　　Floor slab pouring: commercial concrete and reinforced steel mesh are used.

　　Waterproofing: 1.8m high R-angle waterproofing for bathroom wall and floor.

    4. the three golden rules of budget control

　　Price transparency list

　　Itemise the detailed costs of civil construction, decoration, equipment procurement, etc. It is recommended to set aside a flexible budget of 10-15%.

　　Use of government subsidy policy

　　Pay attention to the application channels for special funds for local dangerous house reconstruction and characteristic town construction.

　　Advantage of bulk purchase

　　Main materials such as doors, windows and sanitary ware can reduce the unit price by 20%-30% through centralised procurement.

　   Choice of innovative construction methods

　　The traditional brick-concrete structure has long construction period, high energy consumption and other pain points. 

       Eiffel Light Steel Villa adopts modular prefabrication technology to deliver standard two-storey villa in 45 days. Its 70-year service life, 

       95% recyclable materials, and seismic grade of 9 are perfectly suited to the demand for green building in the background.

Maybe You Ask

1.How Long Will The Light Steel Villa Be Used And Its Safety?

Service Life: 

The load-bearing structure of light steel villa is designed to have a service life of up to 90 years, 

Which is three times as long as that of ordinary houses, and there is no problem in normal use for seventy years.

Safety: 

Light steel villa meets the building requirements in earthquake and hurricane resistance, very strong, can resist 9 level earthquake, 12-13 level typhoon. 

At the same time, light steel components can direct the current generated by lightning strikes into the ground to protect the occupants from injury.

2. What Materials Are Used In Light Steel Villas?

Construction:

The light steel villa is treated with hot-dip galvanised or almost pure zinc metal coating for corrosion prevention and will not rust. 

The whole house is grounded and the circuit is safe.

Materials: 

Calcium silicate version is used for the inner wall of the light steel villa, and gypsum board is used for the ceiling. 

Calcium silicate board is high strength, light weight, and has good workability and non-combustibility.

3. How About The Lightning Protection And Moisture-proof Effect Of Light Steel Villa?

Lightning Protection: 

the galvanised material of light steel villa is a complete lightning protection system when it is closely connected with the ground, 

And there is no need to do special lightning protection measures.

Moisture-proof: 

light steel villa adopts closed moisture-proof system, which can effectively control the corrosion of steel and ensure the structure life is greater than the service life of the residence.

4. Are Light Steel Villas Really Fireproof?

Light steel villas do have fire resistance.The main structure of light steel villa adopts light steel keel, light steel itself is non-combustible material, which improves the fire safety of the building to a certain extent. 

Light steel villa will use all kinds of fireproof materials to assist in the construction process. For example, parts such as walls and roofs will be filled with insulation materials with good fireproof performance, such as glass fibre cotton, which are basically non-combustible. 

At the same time, the walls, roofs, floors and other parts of the light steel villa also use fire-retardant materials such as osone boards, calcium silicate boards and other fire-retardant materials. These materials will not burn when encountering an open flame, but will only blacken and carbonise, thus effectively preventing the spread of fire. 

However, it is also important to note that despite the better fire resistance of light steel villas, the performance of the steel will be affected under high temperature conditions. When the temperature exceeds a certain level, the strength and hardness of the steel will be significantly reduced and even deformed.

Therefore, in order to improve the fireproof performance of light steel villa, additional measures such as fireproof coating and fireproof wall body are often required.

5.Is The Quality Of Light Steel Villa Reliable?

The quality of light steel villa is reliable under the premise of reasonable design, standardised construction and selection of high quality materials.

Light steel villa adopts light steel keel as the main structural support material, and this structural system has the characteristics of light weight, high strength, fast construction and flexible design. 

The construction process of light steel villa is very innovative, light steel structure in the factory based on accurate design is cut into specific sizes, complete precision processing and manufacturing, transported to the construction site for assembly, abandoning the traditional building site masonry brick wall, long time mixing cement and other complicated processes, which greatly saves the construction time and reduces the construction cost.

However, The Quality Of Light Steel Villas Is Also Affected By Some Factors. 

For example, the quality of light steel keel varies in the market, and some unscrupulous merchants use inferior materials to substitute good ones, which can affect the structural safety of the houses. 

Therefore, when buying light steel keel, you need to check the product inspection report and choose materials with high hot-dip galvanising content and thickness that meet the standard. 

In addition, the professional level and construction experience of the construction team also has an important impact on the quality of light steel villa. 

Unqualified construction teams or construction personnel lacking professional knowledge may lead to various errors in the construction process, thus affecting the quality of the house. 

Therefore, be sure to choose a qualified construction team with a good reputation.
