Can I use steel frames if my engineering plans are designed for timber?

If your plans are for timber frames, there’s no need to worry – you can absolutely use steel frames. We can adapt your plans to incorporate light gauge steel (LGS) framing, accompanied by the necessary reg 126 certification.

Are steel frames more cost-effective than timber frames?

When making an overall comparison, light gauge steel framing is a more cost-effective choice. It eliminates the need for on-site carpenters to make adjustments, as all frames are precision-engineered to be completely straight. This minimises on-site waste, reduces removal costs and results in frames and trusses that are considerably lighter than timber, helping to speed up the installation process for your project.

Can you provide structural steel?

Yes, CMC Steel Solutions can supply the structural steel you need in addition to your light gauge steel framing.
