TACTILE LGS Framing & Trussing

The Future of Construction

TACTILE LGS: A strong, durable, affordable & eco-friendly alternative to timber & heavy steel

With TACTILE LGS, you can turn architectural inspiration into reality much faster and more cost-effectively than ever before. It's a fully sustainable building process that incorporates the intelligence of FrameCAD software and FrameCAD manufacturing solutions, complemented with various local and international building products and building hardware.

TACTILE LGS can be used for all types of framing and trussing works to cater for all your building and roofing needs.

The highly accurate & accelerated production of TACTILE LGS means that walls, trusses & joists can be pre-fabricated to allow for modular construction.

Light Gauge Steel (LGS)

LGS, also known as Cold Formed Steel (CFS), is rapidly becoming popular in the Kenyan construction industry with key competitive advantages of speed & waste management.

TACTILE LGS uses the technology developed by FrameCAD, a world leader in LGS/CFS framing solutions using internationally accredited construction methods.

TACTILE offers LGS for trussing works, and modular and nonmodular construction systems.

LGS Properties

TACTILE LGS framing and trussing components are manufactured using high strength grade G550 galvanised steel. With its high strength to low weight ratio, TACTILE LGS reduces transport and production costs, making it the preferred building material for various construction systems globally.

LGS Advantages

Strong
Highest strength to weight ratio of any building material. Meets very tough performance standards.

Inorganic
It will not rot, warp, split, crack, creep, support mould growth, or be eaten by termites and other insects.

Dimensionally stable
Does not expand or contract with moisture content.

Consistent Material Quality
No regional variance in composition performance. International standards, global requirements.

Non-combustible
Does not burn and will not contribute fuel to the spread of fire.

Earthquake Resistance
Superior seismic performance due to steel’s ductility.

Speed of Construction

LGS construction is easy-to-assemble & hoist for installation, making it faster than traditional methods to manufacture and construct buildings

Versatility of Design

The strength and ductility of LGS makes it an ideal building material for all building types – from modular and pre-fabricated units, to single or multi-storey buildings

Less Wastage & More Eco-friendly

Material waste in construction is significantly reduced from both an ROI and environmental perspective

Reduced Need for Highly Skilled Labour

Lightweight deisgns, ‘pre-fabricated’ frames, uniform quality and simple on-site erection equals a reduced need for highly skilled labour

Faster Return on Investment

ROI is realised faster due to fast completion timelines and minimal wastage

Off-site Construction

Majority of the construction process can occur in a controlled environment that is not subject to the elements, ensuring greater efficiency and quality of construction

1. Design & Planning

LGS Layouts are generated from architectural drawings and plans

2. Software Solutions

Using FrameCAD software the LGS framing and truss designs are created using the architectural layouts

3. Manufacturing

The FrameCAD design files are fed into the LGS rollforming machines for production

4. Building Materials

TACTILE materials plus the appropriate roofing or cladding products are delivered on-site or to the assembly location

5. Building Assembly

The TACTILE materials are erected and put together on-site or at the assembly location to create the building structure

6. Construction

MEP works are installed together with the roofing and cladding for final completion of the construction project
