Recreational/residential towns
A primary application of Light Steel Frame (LSF) structures is in the construction of large-scale residential townships and recreational compounds, such as those in coastal or mountainous regions.
Industrial buildings
Traditional industrial buildings present a major challenge for business owners: they require significant capital investment, and the extended construction timeline directly translates into lost production and profit. Every day spent building is a day your facility is not operating at capacity.
Governmental facilities
Governments worldwide undertake the construction of diverse public facilities to serve their citizens. For these projects, four factors are paramount: cost, speed, quality, and safety.
Apadana LSF
Apadana Construction Company commenced operations in 2010, engaging in construction projects across Iran (Mazandaran, Gilan, Azerbaijan, and Tehran provinces). The company aims to advance the development of residential, commercial, industrial, and governmental buildings. With a team of expert designers and engineers, Apadana possesses significant potential to execute large-scale projects domestically and internationally. This technical capability, combined with the founders’ risk-taking approach and commitment to localizing industry-specific technologies, positions Apadana as a pioneer in entering new markets and expanding services. Currently, the company focuses on modern Light Steel Frame (LSF) structures and operates its own galvanized LSF profile production facility, ensuring end-to-end quality control from manufacturing to execution.

Benefits of LSF Construction
- Lightweight Steel Frame (LSF) refers to galvanized (hot-dip) cold-formed steel frames, offering:
- 30% lower construction costs due to lightweight structures.
- Applicable for buildings up to 5 stories.
- High thermal insulation (60% energy savings).
- Resistance to fire, earthquakes, and moisture.
- Demountable/re assemblable structures (with lightweight cladding).
- Easy maintenance of structures/MEP systems.
- High-safety load calculations (wind, snow, dead loads) using FrameCAD Detailer, FrameCAD Structure, and SAP2000.
- 80-120 year lifespan.
- Architectural space optimization.
- Rapid installation (50% faster project completion).
- Simplified electrical/mechanical system implementation.
- Design flexibility for facades (with compliant calculations).
- Eco-friendly, sustainable construction.
- Global certifications + local technical approvals.
- Near-zero structural defects.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How many stories can LSF structures support?
Typically up to 5 stories.
What is the weight of LSF buildings?
25–38 kg/m² (lighter than conventional buildings)
Describe an LSF building.
Comprises walls, roofs, and floors with LSF profiles as the core framework.
What is the LSF construction process?
- Steel sheets are shaped/joined into panels in the factory.
- Panels are transported to the site.
- Assembly on LSF-specific foundations.
- Cladding with OSB, gypsum, cement board, stone (façade), or ceramic (flooring).
What projects suit LSF?
Villas, residential/complexes, offices, industrial buildings, hotels, schools, restaurants.
Why are stairs built with hot-rolled steel instead of LSF?
Minimizes structural torsion/vibration by 90%
Minimum width for Swiss-style villas?
7.5 meters (optimal: 9 meters). Narrower widths reduce upper-floor space efficiency.
