Uruguay Client Plans Prefabricated Steel Apartment Project with Hengon

A New Phase of Cooperation in Latin America

A client from Uruguay is planning to build a prefabricated steel structure apartment project for rental use.

The project includes six apartment buildings, which will be constructed in stages — starting with one pilot building before expanding to the rest.

The client’s priorities are cost-effectiveness, short construction time, and long-term reliability, making steel structure apartments an ideal solution.

Trusted Through Experience and Recommendation

This collaboration began through the recommendation of an existing long-term client, who previously completed projects with Hengon in Uruguay.

The visiting client expressed appreciation for Hengon’s successful local cases, professional technical support, and efficient service.

Their trust is built upon Hengon’s proven track record in delivering durable, cost-efficient, and high-quality steel structure projects across South America.

Optimized Design: Steel Structure + Floor Decking + ALC Wall Panels

The apartment buildings will adopt a steel frame system combined with floor decking, ensuring both strength and construction efficiency.

For the external walls, ALC (Autoclaved Lightweight Concrete) panels are being considered. These panels offer excellent insulation, soundproofing, and fire resistance, making them ideal for residential buildings.

This combination provides a balance of durability, comfort, and modern aesthetics.

Phased Construction for Cost Efficiency

The client’s plan to build in phases—starting with one apartment block—allows for flexible investment and faster returns.

This approach enables the client to start leasing earlier, while continuing construction of the remaining units.

It also reflects Hengon’s expertise in providing customized modular steel solutions that support step-by-step project expansion.

Client Recognition and Confidence in Hengon

During the meeting, the client discussed design drawings, façade colors, and construction details in depth.

They were impressed by Hengon’s professionalism, communication efficiency, and deep understanding of project requirements.

The client also praised Hengon’s technical support and comprehensive solutions, which demonstrated strong capability in steel structure apartment design and engineering.

Conclusion: Smart, Fast, and Sustainable Apartment Solutions

The Uruguay project showcases how prefabricated steel apartment buildings can meet modern demands for efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability.
