Industrial buildings with long clear spans, ready in months

An industrial building is measured by the usable space it delivers. Every intermediate column steals rack positions, cuts a production line and complicates forklift movement; every extra week of construction delays the start of operations. Turnkey industrial buildings in steel framing — cold-formed steel (LGS/CFS), SmartBrix's primary line — attack both fronts: steel trusses that achieve long clear spans without intermediate columns, and an industrial workflow that delivers the building in months, not years.

The workflow is SmartBrix's steel framing process: the project is modelled in BIM with clash detection before fabrication, profiles are produced under CNC control at ±0.5 mm tolerance at the group's CNC plant (NewCon Steel®, Las Mañanitas · EMMA regime) and arrive on site cut, punched and labelled, ready for dry assembly — up to 90% faster than traditional construction and with up to 30% less construction waste. The Zn-Al-Mg 275 g/m² steel protects the structure in demanding industrial and coastal environments, with hurricane design verified up to 250 km/h (Category 4). And from Panama, the structure is exported directly to Central America and the Caribbean.

Nor is an industrial building a static roof: the system grows modularly, in stages, as the operation expands. And when storage is temporary, changes location or must grow module by module, prefabricated modular warehouses — interconnectable modules with dry assembly — are deployed, dismantled and relocated without wet works. The evidence for both systems, with verifiable area, timeline and location, is in the delivered projects.

Centro de Eventos Autopista Norte demanded exactly what an industrial building demands: long spans without intermediate columns and fast assembly — 6,000 m² delivered in 3 months with the same truss engineering as an industrial building. And the Ministerio de Defensa Nacional headquarters — 39,000 m² in 8 months — shows the system sustains real industrial scale.
