Multi-units’ development

When constructing townhouses, it’s crucial to consider their unique attributes. Light gauge steel frames are an excellent option due to their exceptional strength and ability to bear heavy loads. Wallsitu tend to achieve designs where possible to span between the two external parti-walls, eliminating the need for bulky structural steel beams.

Parti wall systems require a strict air gap between adjacent tenancies. Timber built parti-walls can be challenging because wood tends to twist and buckle, requiring additional labor and cost to maintain the correct dimensions and ensure compliance with fire safety regulations. On the other hand, steel frames remain straight, making them an ideal solution for fire-rated parti-walls.

Townhouse developments require efficient construction processes to meet strict timelines. Light gauge steel (LGS) frames are an optimal choice for faster construction. The use of BIM design ensures accurate and repeatable frame production, resulting in precise on-site construction. LGS frames facilitate easier installation and minimize mistakes, leading to efficient and error-free construction.
