Leading edge solutions

Innovative, modular construction methods are a leading-edge solution. The benefits of modern, off-site techniques using steel and the latest in new technology are embedded in all our products and services.

Engineering off-site offers considerable advantages in terms of speed, predictability and ease of project management, cost effectiveness, improved cash flow and earlier return on capital, quality control, structural advantages and environmental benefits, to name but a few.

The outcomes are exemplary as construction feats of the modern world.

Cost efficiency

Programmes and costs can be predicted with greater accuracy, the construction process is controlled, labour requirements on-site are significantly reduced and fast build times mean return on investment can be realised quickly.

Speed

Build times for light steel frame structures are 50-60% less than traditional methods.

Environmental benefits

Steel is very efficient as a structural material and is 100% recyclable with minimal wastage and superb energy efficiency in production and construction. Steel construction is adaptable to change; it can be altered, reused or relocated.

Environmental benefits in use concern the high level of performance that can be achieved economically including good acoustic and thermal insulation,

Thermal properties

Good thermal insulation can be provided easily in light steel framing by creating a ‘warm frame’. These buildings are very efficient thermally, leading to reductions in energy use and consequent CO2 emission.

Minimal on-site disruption

Completing much of the process off-site means on-site locations experience less disturbance over much shorter periods of time. Lightweight materials allow for smaller foundations and less extensive ground works.

Consistent high-quality

High-quality is maintained with stringent factory-based controls and proven processes. Steel structures require minimum maintenance and call backs for shrinkage etc.

Contemporary design

Design flexibility and exceptional versatility allow for exciting, inspired designs to be conceived and accomplished.
