A Training of Light Steel Construction Installation for the Community of Kramat Jati Subdistrict, East Jakarta City

Abstract

The limited supply of wood, especially teak wood, and its high price have encouraged the search for alternative light steel construction materials, especially for roof frames. Light steel as a light and flexible steel alloy, resistant to termites, its application requires competent human resources to ensure productivity and quality. Realizing this, the Community Service Team of the Indonesian Christian University held a training activity on the installation of light steel construction for the people of Kramat Jati Village. Through the method of socialization and direct training, participants are expected to gain a better understanding of the characteristics of light steel materials, technical installation standards, and practical skills in assembling light steel roof frames independently. This program aims to improve public understanding of the properties and profiles of light steel and practical skills in assembling simple light steel construction frames.
