Key Benefits Delivered

Stephen Compton, Construction Manager, Liberty Builders highlighted the following benefits:

Tight site

Working with SBS Group’s (now trading as Cortek) framing made from TRUECORE^® steel meant that even the larger frames could be carried into position on this site by two people, without cranage. (SC)

No need to straighten walls

 The precision of framing made from TRUECORE^® steel meant that once the frames were in, the team would not be spending lengthy time on site fixing up twisted and warped timber walls, which was a particular consideration on this project, due to its size. (SC)

Reduced costs and time

SBS redesigned the original plans, to substitute a significant amount of structural steel with framing solutions made from TRUECORE^® steel, which aided Liberty Builders in terms of both costs and time on site. (CG) In fact, Liberty Builders estimated that the time saved on the structural elements of the build was between 4-6 weeks. (SC)

Reduced on-site waste

With prefabricated frames made from TRUECORE^® steel, there is a reduction in waste on site, and the manual handling of the rubbish to remove it from site. (SC)

Ease of managing services

With webs in the floor joists and pre-cut holes in the studs and noggins, it is easier to pass cables and the like through to where you need them. (SC)
