Transforming Home Construction with Steel: The Grovemont Approach

In home construction, the past fifty years have seen gradual improvements in materials and methods. While new technologies have been introduced, the industry now faces the pressing issue of climate change. This challenge has necessitated further adjustments in materials and methodologies. Additionally, rising costs associated with wood frame construction have prompted forward-thinking home builders to explore more transformative solutions, focusing on the greater use of steel.

The Shift to Steel in Home Construction

Historically, builders reserved steel primarily for high-rise developments in the early 1900s, with concrete becoming the preferred material over time. However, concrete remains costly and less appealing for ground-oriented housing. As wood frame housing costs rise, along with environmental and health concerns, steel has emerged as a superior choice for constructing premium-quality new homes.

Grovemont, developed by Mann Group, successfully utilizes precise and transformative steel technology. This approach, previously found in prestigious Vancouver neighbourhoods, has now come to East Abbotsford. Mann Group’s partnership with a transformative building technology organization has inspired Grovemont’s grand vision. This collaboration aims to offer today’s discerning homebuyers an unmatched living experience with greater safety, security, sustainability, and durability.

Safety and Security

Grovemont’s advanced steel-frame construction enhances safety and security in several ways:

  • Non-toxic Steel: Using non-emitting steel creates a health-conscious living environment, impervious to mould and mildew.
  • Fire Resistance: Non-combustible steel significantly enhances fire resistance, providing peace of mind.
  • Natural Disaster Resilience: Steel framing offers greater resilience against earthquakes and strong winds.
  • Lower Insurance Costs: Homeowners benefit from lower insurance costs due to the added safety and security of steel-frame homes.
  • Sound Insulation: Steel technology ensures superior structural integrity and excellent sound insulation.
