INTRODUCTION TO THE COMPANY

Steel Framed Services was set up in February 2011 as a drafting service to facilitate customers in the Rapid Dry Envelope market. Since then it has evolved to also include the supply of standard and non-standard cold rolled materials, hot rolled design and detailing as well as partnering with installers of both hot and cold rolled material to offer a complete package.

With over 30 years experience in the construction industry in areas including Hot Rolled Steel, Load Bearing and Non Load Bearing Light Steel Frame and Pre-Cast Concrete, we believe that we are in the best place to offer a full, one stop facility.

We believe Steel Framed Services can be beneficial in areas including, but not exclusively, as follows:

Rapid Dry Envelope (RDE) and Load Bearing Light Steel Frame (LSF) 

• Initial Design Service for quoting purposes to include basic wind load and stud calculations (non PI covered).
• Draughting Service consisting of stick drawings, details and scheduling.
• Supply of materials to include PI covered calculations.
• Installation of RDE and LSF using our network of installers covering the majority of Britain. These installers can often offer a full through the wall service including the external cladding, insulation and internal lining system. 

Experience in these markets comes from working for companies such as Lindab, Kingspan and Metsec in the RDE sector and Framing Solutions and Fusion in the LSF sector.

Hot Rolled Steel 

• General Arrangement and Fabrication Draughting Service.
• PI covered calculations.
• Supply of materials through a chain of local fabricators, to include a full erection service, where required. 

Experience in this market comes from working for companies such as Conder Structures, Bowmer & Kirkland, Rowens, Severs, Robinson & Sons, Keyclad and Atlas Ward.

Hybrid Structures 

• A combination of the above services can be offered and with both of the elements being managed in house there are none of the conflicts arising on site that you would generally have when using 2 separate companies for the different elements. 

A hybrid is where hot rolled steel and cold rolled sections are used to create a load bearing lightweight solution. These can take the guise of a hot rolled structure with a RDE infill to the external leaf, or a Light Steel Frame structure integrating hot rolled components where the LSF is either uneconomical or cannot be designed.

In all cases, where PI covered calculations are required, we use fully independent Structural Engineers with vast experience in hot and cold rolled products.

We hope that you will consider Steel Framed Services for any projects that you have now or in the future. We are committed to being a professional and diligent practice, giving value for money in all conditions.
