OAKMERE
Chester Road
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
Canterbury Road
Frameclad manufactured all of the internal/external frames for these two interlinked block five-storey residential development. Floors were constructed from lattice joists and also balcony cassettes were supplied to sit inside a hot rolled frame. Access was limited and due to the busy site location deliveries had to be carefully coordinated and time slots hit.
Concord Street
Concord Street, Leeds Concord Street is an exciting new build 9 storey apartment block in central Leeds. 35 apartments with a mix of 1 and 2-bed accommodation procured through modern, off-site construction via Frameclad.
A very challenging site has led the design team to look at minimising time and construction activities onsite and through a full BIM approach, the coordination of architecture, structures and Frameclad has allowed careful and detailed positioning options to be looked at.
