At Qingdao Liweiyuan Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., we've been at the forefront of steel construction for decades, helping clients worldwide realize their dream homes and commercial spaces through our premium steel structure house solutions.
A steel structure house represents the pinnacle of modern construction technology, combining strength, flexibility, and sustainability. Unlike traditional building methods, our steel structures arrive at your site as precision-engineered components, ready for rapid assembly. The entire process from foundation to finishing typically takes 30-50% less time than conventional construction while delivering superior durability.
Our factory utilizes Q345B high-strength steel for primary structural members, equivalent to ASTM A572 Grade 50 standards, ensuring exceptional load-bearing capacity. The material undergoes rigorous quality checks before leaving our production facility, including thickness verification, tensile strength testing, and corrosion resistance evaluation.
To help you understand the engineering excellence behind our steel structure houses, we've prepared detailed specifications:

Building a steel structure house involves several meticulously planned phases. Our engineering team begins with comprehensive site evaluation and soil testing to determine the optimal foundation type. For most residential applications, we recommend reinforced concrete slab foundations or strip footings, while larger commercial projects may require pile foundations.
Once the foundation cures, our pre-fabricated steel components arrive at the construction site, each piece marked for precise positioning. The main frame erection typically takes just 3-7 days for an average-sized home, thanks to our bolt-up connection system that eliminates the need for on-site welding. Following the structural assembly, we install the roofing and wall systems, which can be customized from various materials including energy-efficient sandwich panels or traditional corrugated sheets.
The final phase involves integrating all utilities and finishing touches. Our steel structure houses accommodate standard electrical and plumbing systems seamlessly, with pre-designed channels for wiring and piping. Interior finishing options range from drywall to wood paneling, allowing complete customization to match your aesthetic preferences.
1. What maintenance does a steel structure house require?
Our steel structure houses require minimal maintenance compared to traditional buildings. An annual inspection of the protective coatings and fasteners, along with routine cleaning of gutters and drainage systems, will ensure decades of trouble-free performance. The galvanized steel components resist rust naturally, and optional additional coatings can extend protection even further.
2. Can I modify or expand my steel structure house later?
One of the greatest advantages of steel construction is its adaptability. Our buildings are designed to accommodate future expansions with minimal disruption. The modular nature of steel framing makes it straightforward to add rooms or modify interior layouts long after initial construction. Our engineering team can provide specific guidance based on your expansion plans.
3. How does the cost compare to traditional construction?
While material costs may be slightly higher initially, the overall project cost typically balances out or becomes lower due to reduced labor requirements and faster completion times. When factoring in the long-term savings from energy efficiency, durability, and minimal maintenance, steel structure houses often prove more economical over their lifespan.
