[https://www.buildoffsite.com/content/uploads/2019/11/BoS-Glossary-2018_v2.pdf Offsite residential construction, Glossary of terms], published by Buildoffsite in 2018, defines Light Gauge Steel Frame (LGSF)/Light Steel Frame (LSF) as: ‘Structural panels assembled from cold formed galvanised steel sections. They are normally factory assembled but field factories can be used. Light steel framing is typically used for the primary structure of housing and low to medium rise buildings of two to four storeys. For taller buildings it can be complemented by the use of hotrolled members at key locations.’
