Do You Need Planning Permission for an Extension in Liverpool?

Not always. Many single-storey rear and side extensions fall under permitted development, meaning no full planning application is needed, provided they stay within set height and depth limits (often up to 4 metres for many properties).

What is Light Gauge Steel Frame Construction?

Light Gauge Steel Frame (LGSF) construction uses cold-formed steel to build strong, lightweight frameworks for buildings. We use this modern method because it speeds up the building process and offers incredible strength for both residential and commercial projects.

Why should I choose a steel frame over traditional building methods?

Steel framing saves you time and reduces long-term maintenance costs. Unlike wood, steel does not rot, warp, or shrink over time. It also naturally resists pests and fire, giving you a safer, highly durable structure that lasts for decades.

Do you build custom garden rooms and home extensions?

Yes, we do! We tailor every garden room, home extension, and disability pod to fit your exact lifestyle needs. Whether you want a quiet home office or a larger living space for your family, our team designs and builds a solution just for you.

Can you handle large commercial building projects?

Absolutely. We provide engineered steel frameworks for large-scale commercial developments, including office buildings, industrial units, and large apartment blocks. Our steel systems ensure maximum structural integrity and allow for flexible designs.
