WHY LIGHT GAUGE STEEL CONSTRUCTION? DENSITY AT 150 TO 250 DU/ACRE BKV Group researches zoning, codes, building technology, and teams with contractors to identify low cost and high density design systems for our client’s costly urban sites. The collaborative effort results in a development with a 50% increase in density, lower (or reduced) construction costs, and 20% reduction in the construction timeline which equates to faster occupancy and speed to revenue.
