Istanbul: Turkish prefabricated buildings constructor Karmod said on Thursday that steel-frame homes have become a focal point for those seeking homeownership, thanks to structural safety and streamlined construction processes.
According to Anadolu Agency, Karmod CEO Mehmet Cankaya highlighted that steel homes spare prospective homeowners the burden of coordinating multiple craftsmen. He stressed that three key expectations stand out in discussions with customers: structural safety, construction processes progressing smoothly without requiring the homeowner's involvement at every stage, and manageable budget advantages.
Cankaya explained that the steel-frame housing model fully meets these expectations and is therefore emerging as the leading preference for detached homes in Trkiye. He noted that steel homes have become the center of attention for those who want to own a home due to their structural safety and simplified construction processes, resolving the long-term dilemma of whether to build a reinforced concrete or a steel home.
He further elaborated that the safety offered by steel homes and their solution to organizing different craftsmen have been key factors in eliminating this dilemma. As a result, those planning to build a detached home increasingly approach Karmod with a preference for steel homes.
Emphasizing the budget advantage, Cankaya pointed out that steel homes provide benefits in both time and cost, as people seeking homeownership want to know their total budget clearly from the start. He mentioned that prolonged construction processes in other models can lead to budget overruns, whereas the fast pace of steel home construction ensures that the initial budget is preserved. With craftsmanship-intensive processes handled by the manufacturer, steel homes prevent potential budget overruns and have become the most preferred housing model in detached residential construction.
Cankaya also highlighted that steel homes include designs tailored to luxury villa preferences, describing the model as an innovative construction approach offering sustainable solutions for different expectations. He stated that they offer a wide range of options in new duplex-style designs for luxury villa housing, concluding that with their structural safety, modern design, and ergonomics, steel homes fully meet expectations in the luxury housing segment.
