TRUSTED SYSTEMS

Infill System

Infill walling fills the space between a building’s structural frame and floors. Typically non-load-bearing, these walls support cladding, brickwork, and other external finishes while withstanding wind loads. Steel-framed infill walls are lightweight, durable, and enhance the stability and overall structural performance of buildings.

Stand Alone System

Our stand-alone system provides comprehensive structural solutions utilising lightweight steel sections. It offers full design flexibility and fast-track construction for housing and apartments up to eight stories, using floating floor chipboard slabs or Lewis deck floors with screed finish for efficient, solid results.

Panellised System

Our prefabricated steel construction system is a top choice for clients seeking fast-track building solutions. By minimising on-site scaffolding and installation time, it reduces overall project costs and accelerates the return on investment. This efficient modular approach is ideal for modern residential, commercial, and multi-story building projects.

WHY STEEL FRAME SYSTEMS?

Design Flexibility

Steel frames offer exceptional design flexibility, allowing longer spans and open-plan layouts without the need for internal load-bearing walls. This makes them ideal for architects and designers looking to create versatile and innovative spaces in commercial buildings, multi-storey developments, and modern steel construction projects. By using steel framing, projects can achieve both structural efficiency and creative freedom, supporting complex layouts and contemporary architectural designs

Speed of Construction

Steel frame construction offers rapid build times through the use of pre-engineered and prefabricated steel components, enabling quick on-site assembly. This fast-track steel frame construction approach significantly reduces overall project duration, helping developments stay on schedule and within budget. Prefabricated steel building systems are ideal for efficient, modern construction, enabling developers to achieve timely delivery without compromising quality.

Strength and Durability

Steel offers outstanding strength and durability, providing a high strength-to-weight ratio that enables large loads to be supported with minimal material. Its resistance to pests, rot, and warping ensures long-lasting structural integrity and lower maintenance costs. Durable steel framing is ideal for residential, commercial, and multi-storey buildings, making it a reliable choice for modern construction projects that demand both performance and longevity.

OUR EXPERIENCE

The key distinction between a project and an organization is that a project is a temporary endeavor, while an organization is a permanent entity.

For a project to succeed, it requires the collaboration of various companies and individuals, each contributing their expertise and knowledge to achieve a shared goal.

  • Client-Focused Consulting: We prioritise our clients’ best interests, providing expert advice on cost-effective and optimal solutions.
  • Timely Delivery: We consistently meet agreed deadlines, ensuring efficient project completion.
  • Budget Compliance: We always deliver within the agreed budget, minimising unexpected costs.
  • Transparency: We maintain open and honest communication with our clients at every stage of the project.
  • Commitment to Excellence: We take pride in our reputation, striving to showcase the full benefits of steel frame systems to our clients.

How Steel Enables Modern Architectural Design

Modern architecture is defined by clean lines, open spaces, and bold structures that reach higher and span wider than ever before. At the heart of this transformation is steel. From residential homes to high rise buildings, steel has become one of the most important materials in contemporary construction. Its strength, flexibility, and wide range of applications make it essential for innovative and sustainable design.

Is a Steel Frame Extension More Expensive? Analyzing Cost vs. Speed

Is a Steel Frame Extension More Expensive?

When homeowners consider extending their property, one question dominates early research: Is a steel frame extension more expensive than brick? Traditional masonry has long been the default in the UK, but modern construction methods — particularly lightweight steel frame extensions — are rapidly gaining popularity.
