The work is in the detail.
Typical details from the three areas where we spend most of our time. Each is drawn, checked and installed to the approved system.
Service penetration through a rated slab
Annular gap filled and sealed so the slab keeps its fire rating.
Beam section and schedule
Bar sizes, spacing and cover drawn clearly so the bar bending schedule matches the site.
Floor joint with fire seal
Allows the structure to move while keeping fire separation across the gap.
A clear path from enquiry to handover.
Every package moves through the same four stages, so you always know what comes next.
