We model the light gauge steel frame from your drawings, run the structural analysis to the applicable codes and standards, then deliver the production data for your roll-former, the structural calculation report, and the fabrication and assembly drawings.
Remotely — from 7 working days — compatible with any roll-forming machine.

You send the model and the site. We return a code-checked frame that fits your machine.
01
Plans, site location, profile set and panel limits. Fixed price, delivery date and a buildability note within 24 hours.
02
Panelised to the project's country code. Failed members are fixed, approved and checked again. Nothing leaves until the error list is empty.
03
Panel drawings, assembly sequence, quantities and production data in your roll-former's format — all from one model.
The map is that sentence, drawn. We have stood on sites from the United Kingdom to Malaysia, and from Venezuela to Kazakhstan. Wind, access and the local code change at every pin, so the frame is never a generic template.
16 UK projects, 27 homes and about 5,300 m² of LGS in 2021–2024, including rooftop extensions in Leeds and Doncaster and panel supply to the Isle of Man. Lifting points, weights and tolerances come from carrying our own panels, not from a default setting.
A 26-villa luxury residential development and a 14,800 m² modular shopping-centre project in Dubai. We know what changes when a project goes from one house to a hundred panels a day.
Our sister contractor delivers turnkey LGS villas in Türkiye today. The profile sets, connections and panel limits we use are running on our own line this month. Every detail we hand you has been built at least once.
We design to the code where the building stands: Eurocode EN 1993-1-3 and the national annex, AISI S100/S240, AS/NZS 4600, Turkish TBDY 2018, or another on request, with local wind, snow and seismic actions. Each report lists the code, combinations and member checks so your reviewing engineer reviews rather than rebuilds.
| What matters to a manufacturer | Offshore detailing service | Local engineering office | Pixel Frame Engineering |
|---|---|---|---|
| Has built with LGS, not only drawn it | Rarely | Sometimes | Yes, manufacturer and installer since 2021 |
| Signed structural report to your local code | Usually not included | Yes | Yes, included in every Full Design |
| Panels sized to your machine, lorry and crane | Generic defaults | Often left to you | Your limits, written into the model |
| Drawings, quantities and report from one model | Separate files, separate errors | Varies | One model, zero disagreement |
| Second full check before release | No | Depends | Always, release gated at zero errors |
An experienced specialist team of structural engineers — people who know the site, the check and the machine file, not a one-person detailing desk.
Machine-independent by design: our output is neutral IFC, DXF and CSV plus your machine's own format, so the engineering belongs to you, not to a software licence or a single supplier.
Start small with a pre-assessment, move to a full design when the project is live, and switch to a retainer when you want a design office without the payroll. Every request gets a fixed, itemised quote within 24 hours.
The complete package: panelised 3D model, section checks to your local code, connection and anchor details, signed calculation report, panel drawings, assembly sequence, quantities and production data.
Before you bid: is this project right for LGS, what will it weigh, and where will it fight you? Buildability notes, estimated tonnage and risks in 48 hours. Credited against a Full Design within 30 days.
You already have framing, from your own team or another supplier. We check it against the code and your production limits and return a numbered list of errors, warnings and fixes with clause references.
Your design office, without hiring one: guaranteed capacity from 2 projects a month, delivery in 3–5 working days, a standing weekly call and unlimited Second Opinions. White-label for practices.
A typical Full Design set for a two-storey, 240 m² house, client details removed. The sample is what production, site and the reviewing engineer receive on a live project; every file comes from the same model.
Loads, combinations, and every stud, track, lintel and truss checked to the project's design code. Warnings summarised on page 2, typically 40–50 pages.
Request the sample set →One sheet per panel: dimensions, stud spacing, profile schedule, openings, service holes, weight and lifting points. Floor plan with installation sequence.
Request the sample set →Panelised frame in SKP and IFC; steel by weight and profile, panel schedule, fixings; member data in CSV, DXF and IFC.

I have worked on light gauge steel buildings for 21 years. The experience from projects in the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Europe and Russia comes with me: I follow every frame myself, from the calculations through to the production data.

Pixel Frame Engineering is the engineering arm of a Turkish construction group that designs, manufactures and installs light gauge steel buildings.
Its contractor delivers turnkey LGS villas in the Marmara region. Earlier UK companies supplied and installed panels across England and the Isle of Man. That production-tested engineering is available to manufacturers, contractors and practices anywhere, without the factory.
Erkin Bayram is a civil engineer (MSc, Istanbul Technical University) with 21 years in structural engineering, 15 of them in light gauge steel.
He has led LGS design, production and installation for 16 UK projects, a 26-villa development and a 14,800 m² modular project in Dubai, and the turnkey villa programme in Türkiye.
We are not the licensed engineer of record in your jurisdiction unless agreed. Our reports are written so that your local reviewing engineer can check and adopt them rather than rebuild them; most clients find that is where the time and fee saving is.
Off-the-shelf framing software gave us panels that needed days of correction before they passed the code, so we built our own.
Vinktra panelises an architectural model to your limits, checks every member to the code you select, and proposes section changes for the engineer to approve. Report and production data leave only at zero errors, so the files never disagree and work with any roll-former.
Every project you commission today is engineered in Vinktra. A licensed version for manufacturers and engineering offices follows once our own work has proven it in the field.
Send what you have; a sketch is enough for a pre-assessment. For a Full Design quote, architectural drawings are required.
