Faster build time avoids the rain

Vancouver’s rainy winters means either constructing in the summer, or building in the winter rain and then spending a lot of time using heaters to dry out a soggy wooden house.

But most BONE Structure frames can be assembled with an experienced crew within half the time (or less) compared to traditional wood. This means that your home can go up very quickly and can even be managed during the rainy winter season. And because they are constructed from steel, the structures are mold and mildew resistant.

Excellent R-factor

And who wouldn’t want energy-efficient design and airtight construction with R28.5 walls and an R56 roof that saves on heating and cooling costs all year round?

Environmentally friendly

The system uses pre-cut steel (between 40-60% recycled content) that hooks together precisely to form a strong frame. No nails are used and no on-site cutting is done, which significantly reduces waste and environmental impact. Being air tight, energy efficient, and having a zero-waste shell will go a long way towards achieving a green certification for your project.

Architectural advantages

A steel frame structure offers greater opportunities for innovative open-concept designs, including 25 foot spans, expansive floor to ceiling windows (even in this era of seismic constraints) and the elimination of unsightly bulkheads.

Adaptable to your changing lifestyle needs

The BONE Structure system allows your house to change and evolve over time. Because the steel frame carries the load, you have the option to modify the exterior siding or move internal walls around to reconfigure the space at any time without affecting the integrity of the structure.

As your family needs change over time, your home can more easily adapt to suit those changes.

More steel residential construction on the North Shore

For all the above reasons you’re going to see BONE structure homes become increasingly common in the years to come.
