Entity Engineering in conjunction with Robor Steel has developed the Robor Hybrid Lightweight Steel Structure as an alternative to the traditional steel designs used in mini-factories, factories, warehousing, shopping centres and other types of buildings that rely on structural steel roofing.

Entity Engineering is driving commercial and residential developers, builders and general contractors to convert from traditional steel framing, concrete block and conventional ridged frame construction to a higher quality and more efficient light-steel product, that is not only cost effective, but also erected with superior speed.

The key advantages of Entity Engineering’s solutions for commercial and retail developers, builders and general contractors are: customer service, speed of construction, cost savings, convenient “installed sales” approach, and a higher quality building structure.

Contrary to the typical construction startup effort, Entity is the continuation and natural evolution of 20 years of specialised and proprietary product and construction methodology development aimed at advancing new structural framing technologies as alternatives or as compliments to existing and time-proven building methods.

Entity recognizes that a truly new construction service must understand and offer not only the latest technology but must also be prepared to present existing structural building methods when circumstances warrant. To this end, the Company will actively promote the “building system” approach of project development from an entry point before architectural efforts specify any one particular building technique. By re-directing the focus to early involvement with owners, developers and their architects, the result will be the most efficient approach to each project's unique requirements. 

 In order to differentiate Entity from the rest of the contracting community, we will offer "light gauge structural systems" and innovative composite technologies as an option to either replace or augment traditional structural means and methods. This light gauge based system, also known as Cold Formed Steel (CFS), best serves the mid-rise multi-family, Government, hospitality, student housing and assisted living market segments and will be our primary focus for work acquisition and target market.

Our mission is to offer the appropriate, most efficient structural framing technologies and economic solutions for construction projects using the Robor Hybrid Light-weight building system and traditional structural methods, able to meet or exceed building codes and specifications, improve delivery methods and to ultimately reduce costs and shorten schedules for our customers. 

Entity’s technology and building process has been developed and used to build many new building structures in the North Riding area. With this experience in developing and refining the structural light-steel framing solution, Entity Engineering has created a world- leading building solution that revolutionises the structural steel construction industry. Entity Engineering in conjunction with Robor Steel, supplies full service for the installation and management of this exceptional new concept.  

Entity will avoid participation in the project acquisition process as contractors have traditionally done. No low bid or super-competitive approach to gaining new work, Entity proposes to address potential markets through an attitude of advocacy and open information flow in a negotiated, partnered environment. 

Our business associates will find Entity to be a value-added partner, honoring our commitments to serve and provide. Our customers and clients will find a quality of product unsurpassed in the industry... an ally with the integrity to offer the required resources and appropriate solutions to their construction needs.

Entity building systems will prove to be the final selection of choice for the professionals that specify the best products and systems to the industry’s leaders.
