This project is an excellent example of how loadbearing light steel framing can be used to great effect in residential housing. Frameclad supplied loadbearing systems to a domestic development of 11 homes in Oakmere. Expertly navigating site challenges, Frameclad facilitated the successful completion of this project, to plan and on time.
Situated in the well-connected village of Oakmere, Cheshire, this residential development of 11 contemporary homes faced considerable challenges. With speed of build paramount to the project, restrictions to site threatened the build programme – Frameclad tackled these challenges head-on utilising their precision loadbearing systems.

Case Studies
Think On Top Of The Box
Located in a coastal location, this was a conversion of an existing 3 storey concrete frame building into 9 townhouses. Frameclad provided the SFS infill to form new external walls to the existing levels then added a self-supporting top floor with SFS to give additional floor space to the scheme. Due to the restrictive nature of the site and the need to keep the new loadings of the upper floor to a minimum, SFS was the ideal solution for the developer.
The Chocolate Factory
Located in a prominent area of Edinburgh the scheme consisted of 3 blocks of student accommodation. Frameclad supplied all of the frames and floor cassettes to form the three-storey structure. The developer was keen to use some of the previous buildings stonework which were incorporated in the external cladding of the cottage building.
