Steel Framed Buildings

Fews offers an innovative approach to steel framed building construction that aims to reduce costs and improve efficiency. By utilizing software specifically designed for the estimation, design, and detailing processes, Fews is able to automate many tasks, which can lead to cost savings in terms of time and labour.

Using high yield cold rolled materials for the main frame and secondary support steel provides many advantages. Cold rolled materials have become more popular in structural applications due to advancements in materials and manufacturing techniques. The use of cold rolled profiles can significantly reduce the weight of the frame, sometimes up to 40%. This reduction in weight has several benefits:

1. Cost Reduction:  The use of cold rolled materials can contribute to significant cost savings due to reduced material usage and associated expenses.
2. Weight Reduction: Cold rolled profiles are known to be lighter while maintaining structural integrity. This weight reduction can lead to lower transportation costs and quicker assembly on-site.
3. Build Time: The lighter weight of cold rolled materials can expedite the erection process on-site, leading to potentially faster project completion times.
4. Plant Hire Savings: The reduced need for heavy machinery and equipment during construction due to lighter materials can result in lower plant hire costs.
5. Structural Efficiency: Advances in cold rolled materials’ design and manufacturing have led to improved structural efficiency, allowing for optimized designs that may further reduce costs.

It’s important to note that while cold rolled materials offer these advantages, they might also have certain limitations in terms of load-bearing capacity and specific design considerations compared to traditional hot-rolled materials. The structural engineering and design expertise behind a Fews Steel Framed Building is crucial in ensuring that these materials are used appropriately and safely.

Overall, Fews’ approach combines technological innovation and material advancements to create a more cost-effective and efficient solution for steel framed building construction.
