Light Steel System Gains Full ICC-ES Approval for Strictest U.S. Markets: California and Los Angeles

What Sets the DeepBlue System Apart:

Pre-Certified Code Compliance: The system is now formally recognized by ICC-ES for use in both California and Los Angeles, reducing the need for project-specific engineering evaluations and accelerating permit issuance.

Built for Seismic and Fire Safety: The certification includes rigorous validation of the system’s performance in earthquake scenarios and under strict fire safety regulations—key concerns for developers and officials in these regions.

Sustainable by Design: Manufactured using significant recycled content and fully recyclable at end-of-life, the DeepBlue system supports compliance with California’s sustainability mandates and green building programs.
Transformative Benefits for the Construction Workflow:

Shortened Approval Timelines: Projects utilizing the pre-certified system experience fewer delays during municipal plan reviews, helping teams break ground faster and maintain tighter schedules.

Reduced Engineering and Administrative Overhead: With recognized compliance already established, developers can avoid redundant analysis and documentation, lowering project soft costs.

Increased Market Confidence: The third-party validation provides assurance to stakeholders—from investors to insurers—that the building system meets stringent safety and quality benchmarks.

Future-Ready Construction: The lightweight yet durable nature of the system, combined with its environmental attributes, positions it as a forward-looking solution for urban and residential development.
