Sustainable Contruction

Buildings are responsible for almost half of the UK’s carbon emissions, half of its water consumption, around a third of its landfill waste and a quarter of all raw materials used in the economy. This means that the UK’s sustainable development targets cannot be met without a fundamental change to the way in which buildings are designed, constructed and operated. National targets for greenhouse gas emission reductions and the drive for buildings that are ‘zero carbon’ in operation present a huge challenge to the construction industry – a challenge which the steel construction sector is playing a major part in overcoming. Tata Steel, the major steel producer in the UK, recycles or reuses over 90% of its process residues. Current recovery rates from demolition sites in the UK are 99% for structural steelwork and 96% (on average) for all steel construction products – figures that far exceed those for any other construction material. For more information on sustainable steel buildings visit The Steel Construction info. With over 20 years' experience in construction and engineering behind us, our designers will work with you during the design process keeping you informed and offering value engineered solutions to ensure that you are getting the most for your investment. Our technical department can quickly draw a 3D concept building to show you the appearance without the expense of architects at the costing stage. The services we provide can be delivered competitively on a nationwide basis. We provide a full set of structural drawings and structural calculations for building control approval. This service is included free of charge with all our steel buildings.
