Construction industry insurance provider ICW will become the latest building warranty provider to have a dedicated chapter on light steel framing in their technical manual, when their updated version is released later this year.
Recognising the growing significance of light steel framing in the UK construction industry and in particular in the residential sector, ICW has developed a chapter for their technical manual dedicated to light steel construction.
To assist them with this challenge ICW called upon the Steel Construction Institute (SCI). Drawing upon their extensive knowledge of light steel construction and the requirements of building warranty providers, SCI produced the new chapter for the ICW technical manual.
Included within the new chapter is a two-stage certification system for light steel framing which has proven to be successful for many light steel frame manufacturers and popular with other warranty providers. Stage 1 is a system-based certification carried out by SCI, followed by Stage 2 which is project specific.
