Reinforced-concrete frames
Concrete columns, beams, slabs and walls strengthened with steel reinforcement to form structural elements and building frames.
Modular construction
Building units manufactured off site and brought together on site, with attention to connections, alignment and the continuity of services and protective layers.
Structural insulated panels (SIPs)
Factory-made panels with an insulating core between structural facings, assembled to form parts of the building enclosure.
Retained structures & combined construction
Integration of existing building fabric with new structures, extensions or additions, with attention to junctions and the compatibility of different materials.
