Engineering out structural steel with lightweight framing
JAB Developments Townhouses
An opportunity to rethink traditional structural approaches by reducing reliance on heavy structural steel.
Lightweight. High performance.
Optimising load paths and maximising efficiency.
CMG Frames delivered a lightweight steel framing solution that could effectively engineer out significant portions of structural steel while maintaining performance and compliance at this four-townhouse project with JAB Developments.
Working closely with architects Achieve Design Group and project engineers, our team developed a framing system that optimised load paths and maximised the efficiency of lightweight materials. This approach reduced material weight, simplified installation and improved overall buildability on site.
Streamlined installation. Minimised delays.
This project required detailed planning and coordination to ensure the revised structural methodology aligned with architectural intent and construction sequencing. By integrating prefabricated lightweight components, we were able to streamline installation and minimise delays.
The result is a cost-effective, efficient framing solution that demonstrates CMG Frames’ ability to deliver innovative engineering outcomes, reducing structural complexity while maintaining quality, strength, and long-term durability.
