Straid Contracts supply and install structural SFS systems, a modern building technique that uses light gauge steel sections to form the primary structure.

 

These sections are manufactured into panels off-site and installed in a modular format, bringing significant benefits to clients and contractors alike:

​

• Reduced time on site – Structural frames are pre-assembled under factory conditions, with the option to board and insulate panels before delivery. This approach replaces traditional wet trades, accelerates programmes, and provides a combined structural and finishing solution.

• Greater accuracy – Factory production allows for tighter tolerances than traditional build methods. The system is designed to be self-aligning, reducing installer error and ensuring a consistently accurate build.

• Streamlined engineering – With SFS responsible for the structural design, engineering packages are simplified and conflicts reduced. This integrated approach shortens coordination time and adds efficiency at the outset of projects.

• Seamless integration – Structural SFS can be engineered to interface cleanly with surrounding trades including M&E, external façades, and internal finishes, ensuring smooth delivery and reduced rework on site.
