As our cities grow taller and more ambitious, steel frame construction is supporting the architectural agenda to develop lighter, versatile spaces that facilitate efficient and effective construction programmes. As per building regulations guidance, buildings with a structural steel core must be designed so that their 'stability will be maintained for a reasonable period' in the event of a fire. Whilst this is essential when approaching construction, navigating additional building performance factors, such as thermal and acoustic demands, from the outset can contribute to overall performance, whilst reducing delays to site programmes.
