FRAMETEC
Framing Technology Ltd is a company specialising in light gauge structural steel framing systems
Established in 2006 and operating mainly in the south of the country, Frametec boast
a wealth of experience dating back to the origins of SFS, which was introduced into the UK in the early 1990's.
By having a good relationship with the supply chain and working closely with the client, that wealth of experience has helped many a project to complete on time and, just as importantly, provide value engineering.
A strong quantity of repeat business is also testament to consistent on site performance and respected technical knowledge.
WHAT IS SFS
SFS is a cold rolled structural track and stud system which is installed in-situ or pre panellised off site to provide early weather protection enabling follow on trades.
Other advantages over traditional construction include speedy installation to aid construction program, its lightweight nature reduces the load on the primary structural frame and its capability to accept direct installation of internal boarding and external facade systems.
APPLICATIONS
INFILL WALLING
The SFS system is installed within the hot rolled steel or concrete primary frame of a building
CONTINUOUS WALLING
The SFS system is fitted to the outside of the primary frame of the building using cleats and thus forming a continuous unbroken facade.
LOAD-BEARING STRUCTURES
The SFS system is used to provide a complete load-bearing superstructure which, due to its lightweight characteristics, is often used to construct roof top extensions/penthouse apartments.
HIGH-BAY SEPERATING WALLS
The SFS system is used to provide a high performance dividing walls often in existing buildings without the need to strengthen foundation/slab

BIM
Frametec has its own in-house design capabilities
making it a leading sub-contractor in BIM technology.
The wealth of experience has seen transition from drawing
board through 2D into full collaborative BIM modelling.
Producing in-house models/drawings creates huge advantages including reducing lead-in times and creating an early knowledge of project details. This can result in design development, clash detection and value engineering.
