Steel frames are easily shaped to meet precise structural and architectural requirements. Flexibility allows architects and developers to create unique buildings through innovative design and customization. Light gauge steel framing provides design freedom in the construction of modular classroom facilities for school buildings. Steel frames of bespoke specifications can be provided for off-site construction, and this allows for distinctive classroom configurations and architectural features. The quality control characteristics of light gauge steel framing could be of value to a healthcare facility's modular building project. High quality controls are applied to the steel frames during their controlled manufacturing process to provide the structural precision and stability required for critical health infrastructure.

Synthesis of BIM and AI for Smart Building: The application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the construction and design of steel frames. Whereas BIM simplifies project planning and coordination, AI software leads to improved accuracy, reduced wastage, and optimal utilization of resources. Light gauge steel framing is increasingly being used due to companies like FRAMECAD offering AI-based structural software that enhances the efficiency of construction and minimizes errors.

With growing urbanization, better infrastructure, and government expenditure on smart cities on the rise, the Asia-Pacific light gauge steel framing market is rising exponentially. Due to its affordability and environmental sustainability, light gauge steel is being embraced at the fastest rate in China, India, and Japan. To address housing needs, the region is also witnessing a transition to modular construction. The growth of the Asia-Pacific market was further solidified in 2024 when Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism launched a major affordable housing project using light gauge steel frame to facilitate faster construction and alleviate urban housing shortages.
