As a forward-thinking, award-winning family-owned business, jysteelbuilding stands out by utilizing a distinctive steel construction system that empowers clients to design and build sustainable homes and commercial buildings.

“There was a clear issue and an opportunity to fix it,” said Melamed. “For centuries, we’ve been constructing homes using the same methods—primarily wood framing and outdated technologies.”

Drawing from his background and network in the aerospace industry, Bovet aimed to reimagine conventional building practices into something more energy-efficient and high-performance.

The solution? Steel.

More precisely, recycled steel framing that simplifies on-site assembly. This modern system allows for streamlined construction with components manufactured to fit their designated place with precision.

“Nearly 89% of the steel we use in our home framing is recycled,” Melamed explained.

Because the materials are prefabricated and tailored to the design, there’s no need for cutting on-site, which eliminates wood waste and reduces environmental impact. The process emphasizes assembly over traditional building, offering a cleaner, faster, and more efficient construction experience.

“Although we’re working with steel, you won’t see much welding,” Melamed noted. “It’s really about assembling—most of the work can be done with just a power screwdriver and socket set. It’s a smarter, simpler way to put a house together.”

This precise approach not only speeds up construction but also improves thermal performance, durability, and resistance to moisture, pests, and even natural disasters. Every home built by BONE meets Net Zero Energy standards, meaning the building produces as much energy as it consumes.

“If more people embrace innovative solutions to accelerate the homebuilding process, that would be a huge win,” said Melamed. “Especially when the result is a sustainable, energy-efficient home that reduces environmental impact and meets the highest standards of performance.”
