Light Steel Framing (LGS) for Camps & Project Buildings
Worker housing, site offices, dining halls and clinics — in cold-formed steel built to last the full project, not just one season.
We size the frame, insulation and services around how each building is actually used, fabricate it in our own factory, and erect it with our own crews — so the scope is right and the handover lands on schedule.
Inside the LGS House
Layer by Layer
The light gauge steel house is delivered as a coordinated building kit: galvanized steel frame, insulated roof and wall layers, floor build-up, doors and windows. This section shows what buyers need to check before quotation, production and site assembly.
Confirm the frame before finishes.
Base beams, wall studs, ground purlins and roof trusses form the load path. For quotation, confirm room size, layout, foundation condition and any local compliance request.
Roof, wall and floor layers control comfort.
Roof sheet, ceiling, wall board, insulation and floor build-up should match the site climate, room use, AC plan and cleaning requirements.
Doors and windows need early decisions.
Opening size, swing direction, lock type, window style and insect screen requirements are easier to control before production than after the kit arrives on site.
LGS Building Types
Two Light Steel Systems For Camp And Project Buildings
Choose the LGS system by how the building will be used. We then size the frame, insulation, roof system, openings and service routes around the real project layout.
LGS Staff Housing
For worker dormitories, staff rooms and supervisor accommodation. We plan the room grid, insulation, wet areas, corridors, stairs and service routes around occupancy and welfare requirements.

Wide-Span LGS Building
For dining halls, site offices, clinics and large project buildings where open interior space matters. We check the span, roof system, column layout, ceiling load and HVAC routes before frame production.

Send RequirementLight Steel Buildings For Your Whole Camp.
A camp is more than worker accommodation. From a single site office to a full multi-building camp, we build all of it in light steel and lay it out for you before anything is cut.
Staff Accommodation
Galvanised cold-formed steel rooms, about 43 m2 per module at 2.41 m clear height, with 100 mm glass-wool insulated walls and roof. Modules join into any room count.
Site Offices & Project HQ
The same room system, partitioned into offices, meeting rooms and document control, with power, data and split-AC points set out before fabrication.
Dining Halls & Kitchens
Wide-span LGS with clear spans of 6-12 m at 2.8-3.3 m eave height, in 50-300 m2 footprints. A column-free floor for seating, serving lines and kitchen exhaust.
Clinics & First-Aid Rooms
Built on the wet-room spec: compact-laminate partitions, floor drainage and PVC/PPR plumbing, with washable surfaces throughout.
Warehouses & Stores
Wide-span LGS, column-free up to 12 m clear at 2.8-3.3 m eave height: open floor for racking, pallets and forklift access.
Support & Custom Facilities
Guardhouses (1.5 x 1.5, 2 x 2 or 2 x 3 m), laundries, prayer and induction rooms, and one-off buildings sized to your site.
One camp, one team.
Tell us the buildings and the headcount. We will lay out the full camp and confirm the module size, span and finish for each.
Built for the Heat
Fire‑Safe and Corrosion‑Resistant
It's the build-up, not the bare steel, that decides how a building performs. Ours keeps rooms cool through summer, stays fire‑safe, and resists corrosion on coastal sites. Here are the numbers.
Cool Through the Summer
Walls and roof are built up with 100 mm aluminium-foil-faced glass wool. The foil reflects radiant heat off the roof; the wool slows the rest. Rooms stay workable and the AC is not running flat-out all day. For hotter sites, insulation and U-value step up.
Non-Combustible, Fire-Rated
The galvanised steel frame does not burn or feed a fire the way timber does, and it is clad in fire‑rated boards built to the rating your code or client requires, shielding the structure and slowing heat transfer.
Rust-Resistant on the Coast
The frame is cold-formed from galvanised zinc-coated steel, so it resists rust from the surface in. On coastal, high-humidity sites like Jeddah, Dammam and the Eastern Province, the coating grade steps up to match the salt load.
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Frame | Galvanised cold-formed light-gauge steel; Q235B / Q355B for wide-span members. |
| Wall & roof | 100 mm aluminium-foil-faced glass-wool insulation. |
| Floor | 18 mm fibre-cement board + PVC sheet flooring. |
| Interior clear height | 2.41 m (standard LGS room module). |
| Standard unit footprint | ~43 m2 per module, joined into any room count. |
| Wide-span | Clear span 6-12 m / eave 2.8-3.3 m / footprint 50-300 m2. |
| Wet areas | Compact-laminate (Trespa-type) partitions / PVC/PPR plumbing / waterproof non-slip floor. |
| Zinc coating grade | Specified per site, stepped up for coastal. Coating mass to confirm |
| Fire rating | To code / client requirement. Rating hours to confirm |
| U-value / insulation upgrade | Set to the project climate. U-value to confirm |

03The Advantages That Show Up on Site
Fewer surprises, faster setup, and a camp that grows and lasts with the project.
A Strong Steel Frame That Lasts
The steel frame stays straight for years — no sagging roofs, sinking doors or cracked walls. What you hand over is what keeps standing to the end of the project.
Fire-Safe, With No Foam Core
The walls and roof are fire-safe and use no flammable foam, so the building meets the fire rules on EPC and client projects that ban foam-core panels — a check cheaper prefab often fails.
Easy to Expand as the Camp Grows
Rooms add on side by side or stack upward, so a 50-bed camp can grow to 300 without taking anything down when the project scales up.
Quick to Build, Clean to Remove
The buildings bolt together fast and need fewer skilled workers on site. They sit on simple pads with no deep foundation, and come off cleanly at the end — no rubble left behind.
Keeps Sand and Dust Out
The building is fully sealed, so sandstorms and dust stay outside. Rooms and equipment stay clean, even on open inland sites.
Laid Out to Suit Your Camp
The open interior can be arranged into prayer rooms, a halal kitchen, offices or dorms, and the outside can carry your company's colours.
These aren't brochure lines — they're how the camp performs. Send us your site and we'll show you the build behind each one.

Quick And Clear Answers
To Your Key Questions
Light gauge steel framing is a construction system that uses cold-formed galvanised steel members to create the structural frame of a building. For project facilities, it is normally selected when the buyer needs a dry construction method, predictable frame components and a building layout that can be fixed before production.
The main limitations are thermal bridging, the need for accurate design before production, and less flexibility for major layout changes after the frame is fabricated. These are not reasons to avoid LGS, but they must be handled through wall build-up, engineering review and clear drawing approval.
Yes, if the wall and roof assembly is specified correctly. Thermal performance depends on the complete envelope, including insulation layers, roof detailing, reflective materials, ventilation planning and AC load coordination. The steel frame alone should not be used as the thermal performance claim.
Service life depends on the galvanising grade, coating specification, environment, detailing and maintenance. For a Saudi project building, the structure should be specified according to the expected use period and site conditions instead of relying on a generic lifespan number.
Many project-use LGS buildings are planned as one to three storeys, depending on function, load, span, local approval requirements and engineering review. For taller or heavier-use buildings, a hybrid structural approach may be more suitable.
Foundation design depends on soil bearing capacity, building load, floor count, wind load and local approval requirements. Many low-rise LGS buildings can use pad footings, strip footings or steel base interfaces, but the correct approach must be confirmed during engineering review.
