Single-Storey

We deliver Single Storey solutions that meet the diverse range of applications that our Clients demand.  This includes community centres, schools, offices and homes. The key requirement has been for high performing and value engineered buildings with the ability to adapt and change the structure over time.

Where project circumstances such as timescales, budget, purpose, planning permissions and site allow each single storey building can be modified to add an additional storey at a later date.

The key characteristics include:

Design versatility – the superstructure can be designed to meet the space and shape requirements of our Clients and Customers. Uniquely our solutions allow for last minute variations in the design as long as the structural integrity of the build is not compromised. This provides greater flexibility to architects, builders and Clients.

Core Superstructure – this forms the backbone to the entire building and utilises innovative technologies to insulate, inter-connect, bear loads and meet buildings standards. This is blended with Foundation Base, Roof and Finishing solutions from leading specialist partners to provide the best of breed answer to requirements.

Structurally Insulated and Load Bearing Composite Panels made from timber or LVL, with a choice of insulation options and external sheathing materials. Our preference for external sheathing is for fully certified and tested Magnesium Oxide boards. When applied using our design methodology these Composite Panels provide the ability to upgrade and scale a design at a later stage and at an incremental cost which protects the investment made in the initial build.

Modular or Component build and installation – we can provide our solution as large modular units or at a component level. This can be specified according to the site, purpose of the building, availability of skills and the project economics. Thus, the solution and system can be either craned or man-handled on the site.

Performance – superb thermal insulation which lowers energy requirements, pioneering use of sustainable materials, ability to upgrade core services (when using our Design Methodology). Easy installation and the ability to finish with a wide range of materials and techniques both inside and out.

Benefits

  • Superstructure designed, precision and value engineered in the UK
  • Offsite manufacturing process guarantees a pre-tensioned building, which can be built as quickly as in one to three days (depending on scale of project)
  • All panels are easily manhandled enabling superstructure to be built in the most inaccessible of areas or can be pre-modularised where circumstances and budget allows.
  • Highly customised building solution requiring neither electric tools nor heavy lifting equipment to install
  • All materials 100% recyclable
