01 — About the Practice
A specialist practice, not a
general contractor.

FRAMEX is a specialist structural design and engineering company focused on hybrid steel building solutions — with a prime focus on Light Gauge Steel (LGS) framing, Cold Formed Steel (CFS) structures, and integration with hot-rolled steel frames.

With an experienced design team, we deliver LGSF engineering solutions, steel frame design, hybrid structural designs, and detailed technical documentation for residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial developments worldwide.

By collaborating closely with architects, developers, and construction teams, we create optimised steel construction solutions that improve construction speed, reduce material usage, and enhance overall project efficiency.

Applications include:

Multi-level Residential

Complex Commercial Buildings

Healthcare Facilities

Educational Institutions

Industrial Buildings

Top-Floor Additions

Our Purpose

To deliver intelligent and reliable structural engineering solutions in cold-formed steel and hybrid steel construction that improve performance, efficiency, and long-term value for clients worldwide.

Long-Term Aspiration

To become a globally respected steel structure design engineering partner known for innovation, precision, and sustainable pre-engineered building solutions contributing to the future of construction.

Two Systems, One Engineering Discipline
How the structure is built up.

We engineer cold-formed light gauge steel systems independently and also as lightweight wall and floor solutions integrated with heavier hot-rolled steel frames.

These two structural approaches form the foundation of every FRAMEX design.

Cold-formed framing

Pre-galvanised studs, tracks, headers and noggins roll-formed to 89 and 150 mm sections — factory-precise, screw-fixed, and detailed for fast on-site assembly.

Where it leads

Walls, floors, roofs, top-floor additions & standalone low-rise

Typical height

Up to ~G+3 standalone

What it buys you

Speed of build & low dead load on foundations

Heavy frame, light skin

Integrated hybrid steel building systems combining lightweight cold-formed framing with hot-rolled steel members for larger and more complex developments.

Where it leads

Mid-rise, long spans, healthcare & mixed-use developments

Typical height

Ground + 4 to 15 floors

What it buys you

Reach and span without the weight of full concrete

Global Footprint
India → everywhere.

Every project is developed with international structural design standards, local code requirements, and accurate engineering documentation.

Material Comparison
Light gauge steel vs. conventional RCC.

Side by side, on the metrics that matter for modern construction programmes.

Metric

Light Gauge Steel

Conventional RCC

Construction Speed

Fast — pre-engineered, factory-precise

Slow — labour-intensive, sequential

Precision

Millimetre accuracy, CNC-detailed

Variable, dependent on site conditions

Structure Weight

Lightweight — reduced foundation load

Heavy — deeper foundations required

Seismic Performance

Strong strength-to-weight, ductile behaviour

Rigid mass, code-dependent detailing

Design Flexibility

Bolted/screwed — easy to modify later

Difficult — modification means demolition

Programme Certainty

High — shop-fabricated, weather-independent

Lower — curing time, weather-dependent
