Steel-frame houses for villas and beach houses

A steel frame allows wide spans and open terraces: fewer columns in the middle of the living room and more open frontage towards the garden, the pool or the sea. The sloping roofs are part of the same frame, and on top goes a plain or tile-profile aluzinc roof, made to measure and in several colors.

It suits beach villas, country houses, guest houses inside hotels and residential developments, and extensions to houses that already exist.

You do not need to arrive with a full set of drawings. You can start from your architect’s plan, a reference photo or a hand sketch. From that we draw the frame in 3D, and our multidisciplinary engineering team carries out the structural review before the first part is cut.

You see the model before we fabricate, and that is the moment to move a column, widen a terrace or decide where the staircase goes.

In the plant we cut holes in plates and beams with our laser machine, our welders join plates and stiffeners, and we assemble every column with its base plate. The frame is painted before it leaves the plant.

On the plot, our own crew erects columns and beams. Staircases, railings and second floors are made to the architect’s design, in the same plant and from the same model.

We fabricate and erect the steel frame and, if you ask for it, the aluzinc roof. The finishes, such as timber, glass or stone, are set by the scope of your project; we write it into the quote so your architect and your builder know where each one starts.

A beach villa takes salt air every day. The Plan Costa checks for rust and corrosion, touches up paint and anchors and checks the bolts and welds, with a report with photos. The frame carries its QR-code plate, with the date of fabrication, the inspections and the maintenance history.
