The issue of providing the population with comfortable and affordable housing has always been rather acute in our country. The solution to this problem, taking into account the trends in the creation and transformation of the urban environment into the most reliable, comfortable and affordable, may be the mass construction of low-rise housing. Of primary importance in solving the problem of mass construction of low-rise housing is the maximum industrialization of construction and installation work, which should be provided at the design stage in order to reduce labor costs at the construction site, where only assembly and installation work from structures of full factory readiness should be performed. In this aspect, the unification in the design and production of building steel structures will allow creating a system of typical design of civil buildings, including low-rise residential buildings, on the basis of steel frames for mass construction and solving the problem of affordable and comfortable housing in Russia.
