Quality Structures
Factory production means our buildings are manufactured to very tight tolerances. They have a superior strength-to-weight ratio. LSF structures can be engineered to withstand extreme loads such as 240km/h (150 mph) winds, zone IV seismic forces under the International Building Code and 1m (3 feet) of snow loading. Furthermore, our factory based manufacturing environment consistently delivers superior quality standards through rigorous control of the whole construction process. Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2000.

Use of Cutting Edge Software
MGI uses proprietary software for design of Light Steel Structures (LSF). The software is very similar to any CAD software with all features for architectural design and drafting. Additionally, the software also allows us to perform structural design with LSF system. All the walls, floor joists, roof truss etc are detailed to the last millimeter showing the positions of the steel sections, their sizes and even the point where one member would be connected to the other with screw. This output is compiled in cnc format by the software that can be fed into the machine in the factory for accurate production.

100% Environmentally Friendly
Up to 68% less energy is required to erect a modular building as compared to a traditionally built structure. The insulation used in the walls, roof and floor is made of ozone-friendly materials that have minimum impact on the environment. Furthermore, there are up to 90% fewer vehicle movements to and from the site which means less environmental pollution. Noise and dust levels on the site are also minimized.

Less Waste, Greater Recyclability
Light-steel reduces waste and subsequently lowers waste disposal and removal costs. MGI uses its software to integrate computerized data with industrial equipment to fabricate structural components of exact specifications, thereby reducing the amount of excess material or waste generated on and off the site. Most of the waste is recycled in the production centre, making the cost of waste removal negligible. MGI is soon to receive the ISO 14001 Accreditation, the internationally recognized standard for reducing environmental damage.

Steel is 100% recyclable, hence does not contribute to depletion of natural resources or degradation of environment.

Enhanced Thermal Efficiency
MGI uses insulation materials like polyurethane foam, expanded polystyrene and glass wool that have the lowest thermal conductivity values. Compared with conventional brickwork, our insulated walls conduct 90% less heat, ensuring that the interiors remain cool during the summer and warm during the winter. The steel frame design minimizes thermal bridges, making the buildings easier to heat or cool with significantly less use of energy.

Expeditious Construction
Time taken for construction can be reduced by up to 50% using modular building techniques, which translates into earlier return on investment.

Fire Resistant
Light-steel is non-combustible and will not contribute to the spread of a fire. Our buildings can be designed for 1.5 to 2 hours of fire rating compared to conventional 1 hour of fire rating.

Insect Damage Resistant
Steel is also impervious to termites. Since steel is not a food source for insects such as termites, structures built with LSF technology provide greater resistance against termite damage than structures built with traditional materials, such as wood.
