CONCORD STREET
Apartment Block
Frameclad were appointed by the main contractor to provide innovative light steel framing solutions for a challenging development in Concord Street, Leeds. The contemporary new build scheme located in the city centre, comprises 35 studio, one and two-bedroom residential apartments. Utilising innovative techniques, Frameclad navigated the complex site and met all project requirements.
Situated in a well-connected central location, the site provided significant challenges, not least due to narrow off-street access, meaning that on site construction works had to be minimised. As industry trailblazers, the Frameclad team with their ‘can do’ attitude and great technical know-how, collaborated with the contractor and architect to overcome these issues and meet the specific needs of the project.

Case Studies
Waitrose
This uniquely shaped building designed by B&R Architects is on the site of the former Bellerby Theatre in Guildford. Main Contractor Bowmer & Kirkland were tasked with building a new Waitrose food store on the ground floor with 30 apartments and 18 affordable homes on the tapering floors above. Several of these enjoyed roof gardens which are sheltered by high parapet walls constructed from Frameclad SFS.
Centenary House
Northampton This technically challenging project involved the initial removal of a traditional pitched roof from a four story 1980’s Social Housing Accommodation Block and the subsequent installation of two new load-bearing stories plus the associated supporting Hot Rolled Steel grillage, new external lift shaft and associated landing areas.
