Construction System
Boutique Modern Hybrid Steel & Timber Panel System The modular units comprise of a fabricated structural steel frame combined with insulated timber panel infill external walls. Modules are delivered fully complete and fitted internally to 2nd fix stage. An additional layer of insulation and external finish is applied on site to provide complete flexibility in the building’s external appearance. Modules can be configured to any size or shape to suit existing or new designs. Ground floor structural steels are galvanised and in turn are bolted to the foundation to form a ventilation cavity as required.
