Frame contractors in St Albans: FAQs
How does the St Albans heritage setting affect a frame package?
It shapes the method. Low-vibration construction and carefully planned logistics are typical, and sites are often constrained, so the frame sequence has to be worked out around access rather than assumed.
Is there much frame work in St Albans?
It is selective rather than high-volume: commercial and residential schemes on constrained city sites. That means fewer, more bespoke packages, and contractors who are comfortable with restricted access.
What frame system suits a St Albans scheme?
Usually conventional RC. Buildings here are rarely tall enough for the floor-to-floor savings of PT to pay for themselves, so reinforced concrete is normally the straightforward answer.
