Purpose-Built Steel Building

Purpose-Built Steel Building

Client: FP McCann
Location: UK
Project Scope: Full foundations and construction of a purpose-built steel building, including planning, design, erection, cladding, electrics, and drainage.

Project Overview
This project entailed designing and constructing a new steel building tailored to meet the specific needs of the client. Leofric Structures managed the entire project, from the initial design and planning stages through to the completion of the building’s structural framework, cladding, electrics, and drainage, providing the client with a fully functional, purpose-built facility.

Key Objectives

• Design a bespoke steel building to maximise space and meet the client’s operational requirements.
• Oversee the full foundation work to support the robust structure.
• Complete all phases of the build efficiently, including the installation of high-quality cladding, electrical systems, and drainage to make the facility fully operational.

Challenges and Solutions

• Comprehensive Design Requirements: The client had specific needs for the layout and utility of the space. Our design team worked closely with them to create a detailed plan that met all structural, aesthetic, and operational demands, ensuring a layout that maximised usability.
• Coordination of Multiple Phases: Managing the integration of structural work, cladding, electrics, and drainage required precise scheduling. By coordinating our teams and maintaining open communication with the client, we executed each phase seamlessly, keeping the project on track.
• Foundation Work for Heavy Loads: The foundation needed to support substantial loads due to the building’s size and purpose. Our engineering team conducted extensive groundwork to ensure the foundation was solid, ensuring the longevity and stability of the structure.

Results
The project was completed successfully, providing the client with a spacious, fully equipped facility designed to their exact specifications. The new building now serves as a versatile, durable space, with all structural and utility needs addressed. The client expressed their satisfaction with the seamless execution and the high-quality finish achieved by Leofric Structures.
