low-carbon construction - SUBSTRUCTURE solutions
Screwpile foundations and insulated ground floor cassettes
Eliminating the need to dig trenches and clear away the removed soil, our energy-efficient homes feature steel screwpile foundations and insulated floor cassettes that allow for the installation of the entire substructure of an average house in just two to three days.
With each project specifically designed by our in-house structural engineering team, this approach significantly reduces the carbon footprint of foundations and minimizes the volume of water used. Additional benefits include reducing heavy goods vehicle movements and removing many on-site interdependencies. For instance, with the elements used to create our substructures efficiently transported on site by Telescopic Handler or Genie Lift, work can commence without waiting for roads or services to be completed.
low-carbon construction - SUPERSTRUCTURE solutions
Light-gauge steel superstructures
Following the installation of the screwpile foundations and insulated floor cassettes, our light-gauge steel superstructures can be erected very quickly and made fully weatherproof, including the installation of external windows and doors, within days.
Our systems support the creation of energy-efficient homes that comply with Future Homes Standards, facilitating the easy achievement of Zero Bills or Tenant Power energy tariffs for owners and renters alike.
In addition to the advantages of build-speed and energy-efficiency, our approach minimises risks associated with on-site weather delays, snagging requirements, and necessary health and safety measures and costs. For example, staircases are included within our superstructures so upper floor access can be provided in the earliest phases of installation.
THE Problems we solve
Creating energy-efficient homes and cutting living costs
Homes built with light-gauge steel superstructures and screw pile foundations not only achieve Future Homes Standards and EPC A or A+ ratings, but also integrate renewable energy packages and smart home technologies, ensuring residents enjoy energy efficient homes with zero energy bills.
Reducing carbon footprint of construction
Constructing energy-efficient homes with screwpile foundations and light-gauge steel superstructures minimises the carbon footprint of construction and can reduce water usage during construction by as much as 1,500 litres per unit.
Cutting build times
Our building methods utilise light-gauge steel superstructures and screwpile foundations, which reduce construction times by approximately 50%, allowing us to deliver energy efficient homes far faster and more economically.
Minimising skills requirements, reducing waste, improving health and safety practices
Manufacturing precision in energy-efficient homes reduces the need for skilled people on-site, ensuring project delivery with finite resources while also minimising waste and reducing health and safety risks.
