Aday Group has proven expertise in the light steel housing sector, having completed standalone homes, villas, multi-story residential buildings, and hobby homes across Turkey, including Antalya, İzmir Foça, Çanakkale, Istanbul, Muğla, Trabzon, and the TRNC, as well as internationally.
Light steel housing is a modern and durable housing solution based on a load-bearing frame system formed by shaping galvanized steel C-profiles using high-precision roll forming machines. Compared to traditional reinforced concrete structures, this system is much lighter, faster to construct, and more economical; it is seeing increasing demand in Turkey due to its earthquake resistance, energy efficiency, and long lifespan.
The light steel housing system can accommodate an extremely wide range of structures, from a small hobby house to an 8-story apartment building. Since the structural system is manufactured in a factory and assembled on-site, each project is designed independently, taking into account the lot size, the ground’s load-bearing capacity, and the user’s needs. This flexibility is one of the key features that distinguishes light steel housing from reinforced concrete alternatives.
Application areas by housing typology can be listed as follows:
Single- or multi-story individual residences suitable for any lot size
Luxury residences designed with architectural freedom on challenging terrains such as coastal, mountainous, or sloped sites
Projects ranging from social housing to boutique apartments, capable of rising up to 8 stories
Small-scale structures that can be built quickly and at low cost
Every residential type is executed through an integrated engineering process, from architectural design and structural calculations to on-site installation.
Detached light-gauge steel homes can be adapted to any condition, from single-story to multi-story, and from small lots to large plots. Thanks to the dry-assembly system, the construction process is kept short, and the flexibility in interior layout allows for the easy creation of personalized living spaces. Various material options are available for exterior cladding, including stone, wood-look panels, stucco, or composite materials.
Light-gauge steel villa projects represent the most ambitious residential typology in terms of architectural freedom and structural strength. Challenging architectural choices—such as expansive glass surfaces, cantilevered overhangs, and open-plan interiors—can be easily realized with this system; it also adapts effortlessly to diverse terrain conditions, including coastal, mountainous, or sloped sites.
The light steel system is suitable for multi-story residential projects rising up to 8 stories. The low structural load per square meter significantly reduces foundation costs, particularly on plots with challenging ground conditions. It caters to a wide range of applications, from social housing projects to boutique apartments, and from student dormitories to apartment hotels.
Small-scale structures such as garden homes, hobby homes, and farmhouses are the types of housing where the light steel system can be implemented most quickly and economically. Thanks to the short construction time and low foundation requirements, practical solutions are offered even on plots with limited zoning conditions.
Light-gauge steel homes should be evaluated as an integrated building system that combines technical performance, aesthetic flexibility, and environmental responsibility. This technology, which has been in use worldwide for decades, has become one of the most preferred systems in the construction sector in Turkey, particularly as earthquake safety and the need for rapid construction have come to the forefront. Choosing a light steel home is not based on a single advantage but on a series of complementary, robust features:
Each of these advantages is based on technical and economic realities that make light-gauge steel housing unmatched in both single-family and multi-family housing projects.
The lightweight and flexible steel structure protects the building by dissipating energy rather than resisting seismic loads with a rigid mass. This behavior makes light-gauge steel housing a safe choice, particularly in regions of Turkey located within the earthquake belt.
Since all load-bearing elements are manufactured in a factory environment with precise tolerances and delivered to the site ready for installation, on-site assembly takes significantly less time compared to traditional construction. Thanks to the dry assembly system, work can proceed regardless of seasonal conditions; site noise and waste are also kept to a minimum.
The weight per unit area of light-gauge steel homes is significantly lower than that of reinforced concrete structures. This directly reduces foundation dimensions and concrete usage, thereby lowering the total project cost. The short construction time also reduces both labor costs and the financial burden.
In light steel homes, the wall section features a layered structure consisting of a load-bearing profile, mineral wool or rock wool insulation, drywall, and exterior cladding material. This structure provides superior performance in both thermal and sound insulation, significantly reducing energy consumption and heating/cooling costs.
The galvanized steel profiles used in the structure provide long-term protection against corrosion and moisture. Since cladding materials can be applied directly to the profile, moisture-related damage and associated maintenance costs are minimized.
Steel is a 100% recyclable material. The fabrication production process minimizes construction waste, while the dry assembly system reduces water and chemical usage to near zero. With these features, light steel housing projects are a concrete reflection of sustainable construction principles.
The process in housing projects proceeds in four main stages. In the first stage, a site and needs analysis is conducted to determine the project’s scope and budget. In the second stage, architectural design and structural calculations are completed; all engineering work is carried out in accordance with national and international standards. In the third stage, structural system components are manufactured in a modern production facility and shipped to the construction site. In the fourth and final stage, experienced installation teams carry out on-site assembly, and the building is delivered turnkey.
This integrated process allows the client to work with a single point of contact and eliminates coordination issues in the project.
