Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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.

Submit your project location, building dimensions (width, length, eave height), intended use, and any available architectural drawings or sketches via our 5-step RFQ form. Our engineering team reviews the submission and responds within 24–48 hours.

We engineer clear spans from 12 meters up to 60+ meters in rigid portal frames and up to 90+ meters in heavy tubular space trusses, providing unobstructed floor space for high-bay racking and logistics.

Yes. We design structural columns with integrated crane brackets and supply certified crane runway beams engineered for overhead cranes ranging from 5 tons up to 30+ tons, calculated according to dynamic fatigue standards (EN 1993-6).

No. All SerBuild structural steel elements and cold-formed purlins are 100% pre-drilled and fabricated in our factory. On-site assembly is completed entirely with high-strength structural bolts (Grade 8.8 and 10.9), eliminating hot-work on site.

Our frames are compatible with all standard envelope options, including PIR/PUR insulated sandwich panels (40mm to 200mm), non-combustible stone wool firewalls, single-skin trapezoidal profile sheets, and daylighting polycarbonate panels.

Yes. Every project includes a comprehensive foundation interface package specifying exact anchor bolt locations, base plate dimensions, and foundation reaction forces (vertical, horizontal shear, and overturning moments).

A typical 200 m² two-storey residential steel frame can be fully assembled and anchored on a prepared concrete slab in 7 to 14 days by a 4-man crew using our pre-punched, numbered profile kits.

Light gauge steel structures offer superior seismic safety due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and ductile strap-braced shear wall design, absorbing seismic ground acceleration without brittle structural failure (EN 1998 compliant).

By combining our cold-formed steel frames with certified fire-rated gypsum board, Promatect, or stone wool insulation, our wall assemblies achieve fire resistance ratings of REI 60, REI 90, and up to REI 120.

No. We design external building envelopes with continuous rigid exterior insulation sheathing and thermal break isolators, completely eliminating thermal bridging and achieving U-values as low as 0.12 W/m²K.

Yes. We work from your custom architectural CAD / BIM drawings, translating complex architectural geometries, double-height ceilings, and large window openings into precision roll-formed steel framing.

Our structural steel core and long-span floor joists allow open, column-free floor plans, giving tenants complete freedom to reconfigure modular partition walls over time without structural constraints.

Yes. Structural steel columns and facade mullions are engineered with tight deflection tolerances (L/500 or tighter) specifically designed to carry heavy double and triple-glazed curtain wall systems.

Yes. All framing is non-combustible Euroclass A1, and wall/floor assemblies are tested to meet BB93 acoustic criteria (>55 dB sound reduction) and REI 60 to REI 120 fire barrier ratings.

Standard commercial retail buildings (800 m² – 3,000 m²) are typically fabricated in 3 to 4 weeks and erected on site in 2 to 3 weeks, enabling rapid grand opening dates.

Yes. All light gauge floor joists and wall studs can be pre-punched with CNC service holes, allowing plumbing and electrical conduits to run within the wall depth without on-site cutting.

We utilize heavy hot-dip galvanization (minimum 85 microns coating thickness per ISO 1461) on all structural columns and rafters, providing lifelong immunity against ammonia and acidic animal manure.

Yes. We engineer heavy portal frame columns and baseplates with integrated push-wall brackets designed to withstand continuous 3m to 4m lateral grain bulk pressure against concrete panels.

We supply non-woven anti-condensation fleece laminated directly to the underside of the trapezoidal roof sheets, absorbing nighttime moisture and releasing it during daytime ventilation.

Standard equestrian arena spans are 20m, 25m, and 30m clear width with lengths of 40m, 60m, or longer, completely unobstructed by interior posts to ensure maximum horse and rider safety.

Yes. We supply hermetically sealed PIR sandwich panels up to 100mm thickness with smooth washable food-safe linings, compatible with high-capacity tunnel cooling and ventilation systems.

In Supply Only, we manufacture, pack, and deliver the complete pre-coded kit with drawings. In Supply with Supervision, we also dispatch a senior SerBuild structural engineer to your project site to direct and inspect your local assembly crew.

The client or local general contractor builds the reinforced concrete foundation slab or footings based on the foundation load and anchor bolt placement drawings provided by SerBuild.

Yes. All high-strength structural bolts, anchor bolts, self-drilling screws, angle brackets, hold-downs, and bracing cables are itemized and supplied in the containerized kit with extra spare fasteners included.

A SerBuild structural site engineer arrives prior to container unloading, conducts a site and foundation survey, verifies rigging equipment, and guides the assembly team through sequential frame erection and quality checklists.

Turnkey delivery (foundations, frame, cladding, and interior fit-out) is available for selected commercial and residential projects subject to country location, local building licensing, and initial scope assessment.

Under the definitive CBAM phase effective January 1, 2026, iron and steel imports into the EU require emissions reporting. SerBuild provides accredited primary mill test certificates and embedded emissions data to streamline your quarterly CBAM filing.

We supply Commercial Invoices, detailed Container Packing Lists, EUR.1 Movement Certificates / Certificates of Origin (for preferential 0% customs duty), Mill Test Certificates (EN 10204 3.1), and 3D Assembly Manuals.

We support EXW (Factory Türkiye), FOB (Istanbul / Izmir Ports), CIF / CFR (Destination Sea Port), and DAP (Delivered at Job Site Place).
