The Tronco system significantly reduces construction time. One mobile production unit allows for the construction of some 300 square meters (approx 3000 square feet) of built floor area within one eight-hour shift. Additional production units operating simultaneously at one or more locations will do as much more.

Metalogs are all custom-made at construction sites and, when combined with a limited number of pre-manufactured components, can be rapidly assembled into fences and building superstructures of up to three stories, most of which may be done with locally-hired helpers.

Irrespective of whether the metallic superstructures represent only 20 or as much as 80 percent of overall construction costs (depending on type of building and specifications), the end product is less expensive and considerably faster to construct than comparable alternative options.

The system’s equipment fits into special containers, which then become mobile production plants, transportable by boat, truck or aircraft to construction sites. As to the steel/aluminum strip material (coils), the volume ratio between the coils and the erected superstructures is approx 1-to-200.

Tronco superstructures are remarkably resistant to earthquakes, hurricanes, rust, rot and termites. Moreover, Tronco buildings weigh four times less than conventional brick-and-mortar structures, thus permitting construction under poor geotechnical conditions, and/or on top of existing buildings. Certain superstructures and free-standing walls do not require pre-existing foundations at all.

Tronco superstructures are energy-efficient: unique insulated "troncopanels" may be cement-glued to walls and roof, thus providing for comfortable quality buildings under any climatic conditions, including extreme cold and warm weather. Same degree of comfort can be achieved in hot climates without any wall cladding at all (wall cladding may be applied at a later stage, without affecting the continuity of use of internal spaces).

Custom-designed Tronco superstructures, with just elastomeric paint sprayed on their tubular facades, or with cement-stucco, brick-veneer, wood-siding or most any other type of exterior cladding/finish, allow for attractive architectural solutions, whether traditional or contemporary.

Proprietary use of Tronco superstructures is covered by multiple basic and industrial patents on a worldwide basis.

Unlike other innovations in the construction field, Tronco is an "open" system compatible with complementary systems and materials, including partitions, joists, trusses, doors, windows, all of which in accordance with local specifications.

The metallic superstructures without their exterior cladding are indeed habitable shells, allowing end-users and/or local sub-contractors to finish the construction on their own at a later stage (particularly well adapted for high-speed deployments and "do-it-yourself" programs).
