In September 2022, NS BlueScope Lysaght Vietnam – the world’s leading steel solution expert with more than 165 years of experience – signed a strategic cooperation agreement with 13 distributors with a view to providing the domestic market with LYSAGHT® SMARTHOME™ – THE AUSTRALIAN STEEL SMARTHOME. Accordingly, NS BlueScope Lysaght will work closely with distributors to deploy smart steel building solutions in civil construction, meeting the strict requirements of investors.
The LYSAGHT® SMARTHOME™ solution was first introduced in the Vietnamese market in 2021, unveiling a completely new trend in the use of unburnt
materials in civil construction, to help investors solve problems related to design, construction and maintenance, which are often encountered with traditional reinforced concrete and steel buildings. After a year, the solution was highly appreciated by investors, architects and contractors for its quality, aesthetics, and construction progress.
Mr. Ho Thinh Engineering Manager, Lysaght Construction, NS BlueScope Lysaght Vietnam.
“In today’s civil construction sector, traditional reinforced concrete houses are still common, but there are many disadvantages, such as heavy structure, long construction time, high cost, difficulty in managing consistent quality and low reusability. Traditional steel buildings with dated technology have faster construction time, yet face difficulties in controlling weld quality, while the risk of rust from the welds is high. It is difficult to install the wall-mounted water and electricity system, and we have to use chemicals for surface treatment and are mostly installed based on experience with no design and technical calculations.”, said Mr. Ho Thinh, Engineering Manager, Lysaght Construction, NS BlueScope Lysaght Vietnam.
“But the presence of the LYSAGHT® SMARTHOMETM solution really makes a great impression on us because it can solve all the above-mentioned difficulties. We hope this strategic cooperation will trigger momentum to bring the solution to many families, as well as a new perspective on steel houses in civil construction”, said Mr. To Hoang Minh, Director, ACD Professional Consultant Co., Ltd.
With LYSAGHT® SMARTHOME™, every detail of the house is impressively designed. The slender structure optimizes the use of space; the surface of the steel frame and connecting details are finished synchronously and sharply, leaving no scorch marks or roughness in the welds; the water and electricity system is delicately and negatively designed inside the frame system, ensuring the aesthetics for the whole project. Simultaneously, the solution applies ENDUROCADD®, a specialized software for steel building design, developed by NS BlueScope Lysaght and certified by the Australian Building Standards Authority. The application integrates all three processes of design, detailed implementation and volume calculation, ensuring high accuracy, avoiding incurring costs during construction. After the drawings are approved, smart software linked with factory equipment is utilized for fully automatic production, helping to reduce material waste and optimize production costs. Installation is done precisely and securely with just screws.
The steel frame of LYSAGHT® SMARTHOME™ uses premium steel material with the unique ACTIVATE™ technology in Vietnam market that is characterized with four phases of superior corrosion resistance in all environments. In addition, this is also an environmentally friendly material, 100% anti-termite and non-combustible. In particular, the LYSAGHT® SMARTHOME™ solution can reduce the installation time by up to 50% compared to traditional reinforced concrete houses.
After the signing ceremony, from September 26th to September 30th, 2022, NS BlueScope Lysaght Vietnam organized the LYSAGHT® SMARTHOME™ installation training course for technical professionals from strategic partners to provide expert support and advice to ensure accuracy in design process, contributing to the completion of the steel smarthome.
