Low Cost Steel Shopping Mall Building Design

Steel mall buildings have significant advantages over traditional construction malls in terms of construction speed, space utilization, seismic safety, environmental sustainability and economic benefits. These advantages make steel mall buildings one of the most important choices for modern commercial buildings.

The advantages of steel structure shopping mall building compared with traditional construction shopping mall are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

I. Construction speed and efficiency

• Fast construction speed: the components of steel mall building can be prefabricated in the factory and assembled on site, which greatly shortens 

the construction cycle. Compared with traditional buildings that require on-site pouring of concrete, waiting for drying and other processes, the 

construction speed of steel structure buildings can be significantly improved, which helps the shopping mall to be put into operation quickly.

II.Space utilization rate and flexibility

• High space utilization rate: steel structure shopping mall building can realize large span, no column or less column design, which makes the inner 

space of the mall more open and improves the space utilization rate. This helps businessmen to flexibly arrange stores and display commodities, and 

also provides a more comfortable shopping environment for customers.

• Design Flexibility: Steel structure buildings have better design flexibility, which can meet the personalized design of different commercial needs. 

For example, the internal space layout and decoration style can be flexibly adjusted according to the business planning of the shopping mall, customer movement line and other factors.

III.Seismic resistance and safety

• Good seismic performance: steel structure has good toughness and ductility, which can effectively resist the damage of natural disasters such as earthquakes. 

In seismically active areas, steel structure shopping mall buildings can provide better security.

• High safety: steel structure buildings strictly comply with relevant standards and codes during the design and construction process to ensure the safety and 

stability of the structure. Meanwhile, the steel structure material itself has high strength and durability.

IV. Environmental Protection and Sustainability

• Green: steel structure materials can be recycled and reused, which is in line with the concept of green building. Compared with traditional building materials, 

steel structure buildings produce less waste during production and dismantling, which has less impact on the environment.

• Energy saving and consumption reduction: steel structure shopping mall buildings can adopt various energy saving and consumption reduction measures 

during the design and construction process, such as optimizing the lighting and ventilation design, adopting energy efficient equipment, etc., to reduce the 

energy consumption and operation cost of the shopping mall.

V. Economic Benefits

• Low long-term cost: although the initial investment of steel mall buildings may be high, considering its fast construction speed, long service life and low 

maintenance cost, it has better economic benefits in the long run. In addition, steel mall buildings can enhance the brand image of the mall and customer 

satisfaction, bringing more business opportunities and revenue to the merchants.
