Engineered for Global Compliance

Our Light Gauge Steel (LGS) modular buildings are designed to meet some of the strictest building codes in the world. From California fire zones to UK energy standards, we provide the structural foundation for rapid certifier approval.

Regional Standards

Compliance frameworks by market

United States & North America

ICC-ES & IBC/IRC

Our Light Gauge Steel (LGS) systems can be engineered to comply with the International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC) for structural integrity.

California WUI & Title 24

Using non-combustible CFS frames, our ADUs easily satisfy California’s stringent Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fire codes and can be optimized for Title 24 energy efficiency.

Snow & Seismic Loads

Custom-engineered roof trusses and high strength-to-weight steel profiles provide superior resilience in high-snow alpine regions and earthquake-prone zones.

United Kingdom & Europe

Building Regulations Part L

Our volumetric modules are designed with superior thermal envelopes (high-performance insulation and airtightness) to meet or exceed Part L conservation of fuel and power requirements.

BOPAS Readiness

We manufacture to strict quality assurance processes that align with Buildoffsite Property Assurance Scheme (BOPAS) standards, ensuring a 60+ year durable lifespan for mortgageability.

Fire Safety (Part B)

Non-combustible steel framing significantly reduces fire risk, aiding compliance with Part B and providing safer high-density modular solutions.

Australia & New Zealand

NCC & NASH Standards

Structures are engineered in accordance with the National Construction Code (NCC) and the National Association of Steel-Framed Housing (NASH) standards.

Cyclone Ratings (Region C/D)

For Northern Australia and coastal regions, our LGS structures can be heavily reinforced and tie-down engineered to withstand extreme cyclonic wind events.

Bushfire Attack Level (BAL)

Steel framing provides a massive advantage for high BAL zones (up to BAL-FZ). Our materials do not provide fuel to a bushfire, simplifying certifier approvals.

Boundary Disclosure

How we work with your local certifier

  • Factory Documentation: We provide structural framing layouts, material specifications, and factory QA documentation to support your local certifier.
  • Local Engineering: Final engineering sign-off must be obtained by a locally licensed professional engineer (PE) to account for site-specific geotech, wind, and utility factors.
  • Zoning & Planning: While our structures meet building codes, site placement, density, and usage must still clear local council or municipal zoning laws.

Partner with us on compliance

Do you have a large-scale project that requires specific structural or thermal modeling? Our factory engineering team can work directly with your local architects to adapt our LGS frames to your exact municipal codes.
