1. A Fundamental Shift in Iran’s Construction Industry
Since my student years, I have always envisioned making a significant transformation in Iran’s construction industry—moving from traditional methods to modern,industrialized techniques. I strongly believed that Iran's construction sector needed a revolution to reduce reliance on conventional materials like brick, sand, cement, and plaster, and instead adopt lightweight, resilient, and industrialized systems.
2. The Bam Earthquake Experience – A Turning Point in Prefabricated Construction
The 2003 Bam earthquake was a turning point in my professional life. This tragic event exposed the vulnerabilities of traditional construction methods and their catastrophic consequences for human lives.
- In less than six months, I led the construction of 2,000 temporary housing units using prefabricated methods.
- This experience reinforced my conviction that the future of construction must focus on speed, lightweight materials, and earthquake-resistant designs.
3. Introducing and Developing LSF Technology in Iran
After years of research and development, I successfully introduced the LSF (Light Steel Frame) system in Iran. This innovation revolutionized construction by reducing building weight by up to two-thirds while simultaneously enhancing durability, strength, and quality.
Key benefits of LSF:
- Material Efficiency: Uses only 250-300 kg of lightweight industrial materials per square meter, compared to over one ton in traditional methods.
- Earthquake Resistance: Significantly better performance against seismic and lateral forces.
- Energy Efficiency: Lower operational energy consumption in buildings.
- Environmental Sustainability: Drastically reduced ecological footprint compared to traditional construction.
4. Transforming Hospital Construction in Iran
One of my most significant achievements has been revolutionizing hospital construction in Iran. Instead of relying on heavy, outdated structures, I led the design and execution of modern, earthquake-resistant hospitals using LSF and CFTB systems.
Advantages of this approach:
- Higher earthquake resilience
- Extended structural lifespan
- Reduced maintenance and repair costs
- Optimized energy consumption & lower operational costs
5. Delivering Landmark Projects & Transforming the Construction Industry
Through extensive research and hands-on experience, I have successfully executed major projects using cutting-edge construction methods, including:
- Tourism Bank Headquarters – (30,000 m², 21 floors, first-ever friction damper technology in Iran)
- 2,000 temporary housing units for Bam earthquake survivors
- Over 1,000 LSF-based residential units in Tehran, Parand, and Isfahan
- Design and execution of major hospitals across Iran
6. A Sustainable, Eco-Friendly Approach
I take great pride in leading the construction industry toward sustainability by developing green, energy-efficient, and environmentally responsible building solutions.
- Reduced energy consumption (both during construction & operation)
- Minimized environmental impact
- Shorter construction timelines & optimized costs
Conclusion
My achievements over the years have been the result of dedication, research, innovation, and relentless effort. I have played a key role in steering Iran’s construction industry toward a future of green, lightweight, resilient, and modern structures—and I look forward to continuing this mission in the years ahead.
