Que pode ser tanto de madeira como de aço.

Favor ver o website abaixo.

Steel frame
Steel frame ou estrutura em perfil leve metálico é uma construção rápida e limpa que levaria entre 90 a 120 dias. Consiste em uma armação metálica e paredes de gesso (com camadas isolantes sonoras/térmicas). Como as paredes são ocas, a passagem de fiação e hidráulica é feita de maneira rápida e sem sujeira ou desperdício.
