Offsite construction and light steel frame specialist Remagin has begun work on three major projects, in Bury St Edmunds, Nottingham and Jersey.
75 Bed Care Home
The first project is to build a care home on behalf of Simply UK, a specialist developer and operator of care homes nationally. The new development will span three storeys and deliver 75 beds, within a projected 17-week programme.
While on site, the Remagin team will install the internal and external light steel wall and floor panels, along with a pitched roof. In total, the team will install a total of 4,167sqm GIFA .
"We have worked with the team at Simply UK on a number of previous schemes and are delighted to be on site with them again," said Steve Blows, Contracts Manager at Remagin. By designing, manufacturing and installing the full structure, including the pitched roof element, we are demonstrating the full scope of our market offering. More importantly, we are able to hand over a fully weathertight structure to our customers more quickly, which means a quicker return on investment for them."
Low Carbon Homes
The Remagin team are also starting on site for new client MyPad. Marking the first development together, the project embraces modern methods of construction (MMC), with MyPad selecting Remagin's light steel framing solution thanks to its efficiencies on and offsite. The sustainability credentials of light steel frame also complement MyPad's own approach to delivering low carbon homes across the Midlands. The boutique development is located in Stapleford, near Nottingham and will deliver 15 apartments over five storeys, and a total GIFA of 1,172sqm.
Apartment Development on Jersey
Lastly, works are progressing on a 184-apartment development in Jersey, in collaboration with St Hellier-based firm Rok Group. Members of Remagin visited the site in March, to see the latest stage of the development.
A spokesman for Remagin explained the works, saying: "Rok Group are raising the standards and we are delighted to be supporting them. By using the Remagin light steel system, the project will be able to benefit from offsite construction advantages such as speed of build as well as the subsequent sustainability benefits. We look forward to seeing the scheme develop further."
