Prefabricated Building

Prefabrication is more efficient than traditional on-site construction since manufacturing through a production line is more controlled and accurate. These buildings provide plenty of benefits for producers, suppliers, and end-users. If planners are able to effectively manage projects, dividing activities on- and off-site allows greater flexibility on the project schedule and costs. In terms of market opportunities, prefabricated buildings will benefit from the trend towards green sustainability or eco-friendliness. Prefabricated houses, or prefabs, are buildings with components (walls, roof, and floor) that are manufactured in a factory or plant. The KY Two Tone project is a prefab light gauge steel building solution. This unique turn-key project provides the customers a house with all the materials prefabricated in our very own factory. The assembly of our prefabricated metal buildings is extremely simple. The pieces are clearly marked for easy identification. Step-by-step, the building is erected using high-strength bolts and self-drilling screws. Our prefab metal buildings are very easy to assemble, much like a giant erector set. The houses have certain qualities that make housing easier! • Aesthetic designs and unique cladding • Faster completion with average production period 4-8 weeks • Economic in terms of materials used, foundation required and assembling • Erection process is easy and fast • Seismic resistance because of the low weight flexible light gauge steel frames • Every step is done under the supervision of our expert site engineers at all times • The ability to monitor closely every stage of production eliminates the possibility of production mistakes and as a result customers get a maintenance free building. Erection of the structural steel system is done by KY Two Tone experienced teams. The painted steel sections are lifted into place by crane, and then bolted together by making sure each bolt is tightened to exactly the right amount of torque. Just like that with a few steps the KY Two Tone house is ready for you to live in.

Why LGS?

Construction with light gauge steel (LGS) or cold formed steel (CFS) offers as practical, code-approved solution to many of the constraints that modern builders encounter when employing conventional building materials. These benefits, along with steel’s inherent qualities of dimensional stability, resistance to termites and mold, and noncombustibility, combine to make LGS/CFS construction the foundation for a sound, sustainable building program. LGS fabricators supply frames preassembled, strong and straight, and clearly identifiable. No on-site, welding or cutting is normally required. This means that the erection process is fast and simple – requiring less labor time on-site and heavy lifting equipment. Steel frames do not absorb moisture so there is no delay waiting for frames to dry. This means minimized weather delays for rain, snow, or excessive heat for example. With the rising number of earthquakes every year, Bangladesh is in need of a housing solution which is strong enough to hold against the natural calamities, flexible, easy to maintain and environment friendly as well. LGS structured houses can be the best and modern solution for us. Many developed and under developed countries has been using this method for decades because of LGS’s multifaceted benefits. In our country, houses are mainly built with brick-cement, bamboo, wood and tin. Even though steel production and exportation is very common in Bangladesh, steel structured houses haven’t got the popularity here yet. KY Two Tone has come up with the solution of this issue. We are providing a complete housing solution with a view to making building houses easier, modern and sustainable.

Eco-Friendly Housing

In the past few decades, brick and cement construction has gradually become obsolete. Throughout the world, new techniques are being developed to make building faster and easier. People are now more conscious about their environment now, so the new techniques of housings are being invented keeping that in mind. An eco-friendly house may sound bizarre as building a house causes a lot of environmental damage in Bangladesh. Air pollution, sound pollution, water pollution from all the construction wastage thrown in the river and so on. But foreign countries are now more and more environmentally cautious which led them to build newer houses to save the environment. Let’s learn about eco-friendly houses first and then we will dive into the variety of ways of making this type of houses. An eco-friendly home is a house that respects the environment, is constructed from non-toxic materials and are energy-efficient both in both their construction and usage. However, with new technologies and construction methods mean that the concept of an “eco-friendly home” is constantly changing. But there are some certain criteria to fulfill to make this houses even if the ways or materials might be different. The design of the houses must be in harmony with its surrounding from the moment the blueprints are drawn up; the selected materials should be natural, recyclable and non-pollutant; the electrical appliances should reduce energy consumption of the home. The goals of an eco-friendly house are, therefore, to produce the least amount of pollutants, reduce any losses of energy, and to save money. Using recyclable building materials is a great way to make eco-friendly houses among which steel is very popular all over the world. For the first time in Bangladesh, KY Two Tone has introduced eco-friendly houses made of light gauge steel using the widely recognized European technology.
