Key Engineering Result Achieved Minergie-P energy standard; structural frame erected 40% faster than traditional concrete with zero site waste.

The Project Challenge

Demanding SIA Swiss building regulations (SIA 260/263), strict acoustic decoupling standards (SIA 181), and Minergie-P thermal performance on a sloping Alpine terrain.

The SerBuild Engineering Solution

Engineered load-bearing prefabricated LGS wall cassettes with integrated acoustic dampening pads and dry composite floor systems with zero thermal bridges.

Delivered Technical Scope

  • SIA 260 / SIA 263 compliant Swiss structural engineering dossier
  • 4-storey lightweight steel panelized superstructure delivered in 6 containers
  • Acoustic decoupling floor joist cassettes achieving 62 dB airborne noise reduction
  • Full on-site Swiss assembly supervision and bolt torque certification

Frequently Asked Questions

Detailed answers to technical, manufacturing, export, and on-site assembly questions.

SerBuild designs and manufactures light gauge steel (LGSF) and heavy structural steel buildings for residential developments, industrial warehouses, manufacturing factories, aircraft hangars, commercial offices, and agricultural halls.

Yes. All structural engineering is performed strictly according to Eurocodes (EN 1990, EN 1991, EN 1993, EN 1998) including project-specific National Annex parameters for local snow, wind, and seismic loads.

We offer five flexible delivery packages: Engineering Only, Supply Only (containerized flat-pack kit), Supply with On-Site Supervision, Complete Frame Installation, and Turnkey Project Delivery in eligible regions.

Components are precision roll-formed or cut, permanent piece-marked, and packed in dense weather-protected flat-pack bundles optimized for 40ft High Cube containers, accompanied by detailed 3D packing lists and assembly manuals.
