# [When to use siFramo? 10 Essential Key Points need to know](https://blog.sikla.com/siframokeypoints-1)

Sikla modular steelwork system is the finest alternative to welded secondary steel and relies on **time and cost saving**: the heart of Sikla’s product range and solutions. 

When designing a new project, would a modular steel system like this qualify as suitable alternative?

Sikla developed a **simple guide** with 10 essential questions to be asked about the job being developed, aiming to help **designers and engineers decision making**. Find it all in this article.

 

Watch this video demonstrating siFramo time saving benefit, when compared to welded process.

 How does your project look like?

- 1. Are connection components all-embracing and not just angle-brackets? 
- 2. Are small parts safe against confusion, vibration and wrong application? 
- 3. Can a safe connection be spotted by the naked eye or does it require torque-wrenching to be sure?
- 4. Do the connection elements keep the frame corners clear, i.e. 100% of section area can be used as a support?
- 5. Can connections be made steplessly and fixing positions are not dependent on availability of holes and slots? 
- 6. Is independently tested load data available for all components and parts of the system?
- 7. Is test data available for typical frame configurations and based on all 3 possible load directions?
- 8. Can the system be calculated with a 3D structural frame analysis program?
- 9. Is the system BIM and plant design software compatible?
- 10. Is a global manufacturer accountable for the product?

## How many Yes/No answers did you get?

If you can answer all 10 questions with yes, you probably use**[siFramo](https://sikla.com/mainpage-133824/products-133850/e-catalogue-133826/siframo-140801)**.

If you have a few NO's - be worried.

If you have NO's only, check the small print of your insurance policies.
