Accelerate Construction with Prefabricated Floor Joists That Span Up to 7.5m

The construction industry is under increasing pressure to improve efficiency, with median build times for standalone homes rising from 300 days in 2019 to over 500 days in 2024. In response, SPEEDFLOOR continues to deliver innovative steel flooring systems designed to reduce onsite labour, enhance accuracy, and accelerate project completion.

In recent advancements, SPEEDFLOOR’s Steel Joist is now available in a 350mm section that supports residential spans up to 7.5 metres and commercial spans up to 7 metres. This technology provides a robust, prefabricated flooring solution that allows builders to assemble the midfloor rather than construct it, and simplifies onsite assembly, reducing labour requirements and installation time.

SPEEDFLOOR’s flooring systems have been instrumental in expediting build programmes across various projects. A recent multi-unit residential development leveraged SPEEDFLOOR’s light-gauge steel (LGS) joists, cutting onsite flooring installation time by 40%. Another commercial build saw significant efficiency gains through SPEEDFLOOR’s prefabricated concrete flooring system, enabling faster completion without compromising structural integrity.

SPEEDFLOOR’s solutions are designed for seamless integration into modular and prefabricated construction. By manufacturing flooring components offsite with precision engineering, it becomes possible to enhance build quality while reducing waste and errors. This is particularly beneficial for prefabricated school buildings and other rapid-deployment structures, where efficiency and accuracy are paramount.

SPEEDFLOOR’s flooring systems are engineered using Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) principles, ensuring components arrive onsite ready for swift installation. By minimising the need for extensive onsite construction or modifications, SPEEDFLOOR helps contractors save valuable time and reduce labour costs, a crucial advantage in today’s constrained construction market.

As the demand for faster, more efficient construction solutions grows, innovative flooring products and systems are streamlining build programmes. For architects, designers, and builders looking to enhance efficiency without sacrificing quality, SPEEDFLOOR offers a proven solution tailored to modern construction challenges.

The SPEEDFLOOR® Suspended Concrete Flooring is a unique, composite floor of steel and concrete that makes light work of pouring anything from single level, to multi-storied structures.

NZ Made

NZ-Owned Business

The SPEEDFLOOR® Suspended Concrete Flooring is a proven performer in all types of construction, from steel structures, masonry buildings, poured in-situ or pre-cast concrete panels, to ICF, timber and cold formed steel frame construction.

Frame is light enough to be manhandled into place for pouring. The ends are simply bolted to the joists which are then ready for transport to site with no propping or painting required.

Slabs can be 90mm to 220mm in thickness. Minimum compressive strength of 25 mPa to achieve composite action is normally achieved within the first 72 hours of curing, depending on environmental conditions.

The SPEEDFLOOR® concrete floor system is suitable for all types of construction including:

Steel structures
Masonry buildings
Concrete poured in-situ walls & beams
Pre-cast concrete panels
ICF
Timber framed construction
Cold-formed steel frame construction
