Framing system brings project in on budget

Edinburgh’s Jewel & Esk College twin campus development was recently faced with a serious funding problem with an identified shortfall of £14M.

A number of cost saving measures have been implemented to deliver the project on budget, including the use of the StrongBak SFS Structural Wall Framing System developed and manufactured by Architectural Profiles.

Architects RMJM said: “It is the StrongBak system, spanning directly between the main structural steels, which has allowed us to sheen over the buildings as fast as possible in terms of accelerating wind and water tightness.”
