Structherm Fastbuild® has been utilised for many social housing and mixed tenure new build projects requiring apartment blocks of up to 8 storeys. Partnerships have been formed with main contractors and end clients to provide innovative, energy efficient new homes for affordable rent and shared ownership. The Fastbuild system allows cost certainty to be achieved at an early stage, meaning projects can be planned and budgeted for effectively.
Major benefits to the contractor and client are:
- Speed and simplicity of erection: Construction timescales can be dramatically reduced
- Weather tightness: This can be achieved earlier than other construction methods allowing internal fit out to be carried out at the same time as the external finishes are applied – saving time and money
- Off site construction
- Disproportionate collapse: Fastbuild is designed to accommodate current Building Regulations requirements for disproportionate collapse (progressive collapse)
- Less wastage on site: Service holes can be incorporated in at the design and manufacture stage allowing for less wastage and neat installation.
- Health & Safety: Fast track construction reduces site exposure for both operatives and neighbours, similarly site tidiness and staggered panel deliveries maintain a safe, clean and manageable working environment.
Design flexibility is also an important factor – Fastbuild panels can be finished with Structherm’s extensive range of
External Wall Insulation (EWI), our
Drained Cavity System,
Structherm Fastbrick or
Renders & Finishes to suit client’s requirements.
