Hadley Group has secured a Stage 1 System Certification from the SCI, NHBC, LABC and Premier Guarantee, for demonstrating the effectiveness of its HadleyFRAME light steel framing system.
The certificates mean projects made using the HadleyFRAME system are insurable and therefore mortgageable, an essential standard for selling private homes.
The Stage 1 System Certification is the highest recognition for primary structural components of light steel framing systems. In recognition of the detailed technical system manual and testing achieved by the HadleyFRAME team, the certification demonstrates that Hadley Group’s pre-panelised MMC solution can be utilised on buildings up to 15 stories.
Stage 1 System Certification covers structural strength, stability and durability and in the words of the SCI, “offer clear, unambiguous statements about compliance and are structured to follow the Basic Requirements for construction works as set out in the Construction Products Regulation.”
The Hadley Structural team worked closely with the SCI on the certification in an effort to raise industry standards.
A spokesman for Hadley Group said: “The work the SCI undertake in conjunction with key independent warranty providers is critical to ensuring light steel frame manufacturers provide a system that meets the demands of the construction industry.
“The SCI are the trusted, independent adviser for all forms of steel construction and have been providing information and engineering expertise for over 30 years.”
