The foundation of delivering high-quality projects lies in maintaining precise control over the production processes, delivery timelines, and the materials utilised. That’s why we’ve invested £2 million in advanced machinery from Howick, a global leader in steel profiling. Our new additions, the Howick FRAMA 7600 and FRAMA 7800, along with a bespoke cleat-folding machine, provide us with greater control over every stage of manufacturing for our light-gauge steel (LGS) framing.

Bringing production in-house allows us to oversee every step of the process. The FRAMA 7600 produces versatile steel framing profiles, the FRAMA 7800 creates heavy-duty floor joists, and our bespoke cleat-folding machine delivers precision components tailored to exact specifications. Every profile is checked before production begins, ensuring consistency and removing reliance on external suppliers. This level of control guarantees the quality our clients expect. Manufacturing on-site allows us to work on a Just-In-Time basis, significantly reducing lead times. Changes to designs can be actioned in minutes rather than days, keeping projects moving and avoiding unnecessary downtime. By removing delays caused by outsourcing, we can deliver faster without compromising quality.

Why is this important? If you are working in an official, sensitive, or secret location, like many of our clients, material traceability is crucial. Having this in-house capability allows us to control the building material from the steel coil to the finished building.
Our new capabilities enable us to source more materials from within the UK, thereby enhancing traceability and strengthening local supply chains. Ensuring greater transparency for our clients and reducing our reliance on overseas suppliers enables us to deliver projects more efficiently and sustainably.
