Yes. LGS is particularly suitable for many extension projects because of its high strength-to-weight ratio, accuracy and ability to be designed around an existing structure.
Yes. Light Gauge Steel can be used for home extensions, additional living areas, side extensions, rear extensions and other residential projects, subject to the project-specific structural design.
Yes. We supply Light Gauge Steel framing for commercial extensions including offices, retail facilities, healthcare buildings, hospitality projects and other commercial premises.
Its relatively low structural weight can make LGS particularly useful where the load imposed on an existing structure is an important consideration. The existing building must still be assessed by the project's structural engineer.
Yes. Light Gauge Steel can be designed to interface with several existing construction types. The connection details are developed around the existing structure and the requirements of the new extension.
Our core service is the design, manufacture, supply and, where agreed, erection of the steel framing system. The exact scope of works should be established at quotation stage so responsibilities between Arch-I, the main contractor and other trades are clear.
No. You can speak with us during the early design stages. However, planning requirements should be confirmed with your architect or planning consultant before construction proceeds.
Potentially. Its lower weight can make Light Gauge Steel attractive for vertical extensions, but suitability depends on the capacity of the existing structure, building geometry and project-specific engineering.
Ideally, send floor plans, elevations, sections and any available structural information. It is also useful to tell us the project location, programme and whether you require supply only or supply and erection.
