By delivering exceptional Pre-Manufactured Value (PMV), Fusion Steel Framing systems help construction clients achieve exceptional programme and performance benefits. With an eye firmly on the future, Managing Director Mike Fairey outlines his vision for a better built environment.
Since inception in 2000, we have delivered more light steel residential structures than any other European producer, working with some of the most prestigious contractors and developers in the UK construction industry. Our focus is now on improving the entire building process and streamlining supply chains through replacing a multitude of construction components with complete integrated systems. While the supply chain involves many elements, synergy lies in bringing the sum of the parts together both offsite and onsite to achieve construction objectives.
Engineering Excellence
Construction sites can be tough environments. Periods of extreme heat and torrential rain make a challenging task virtually impossible on occasions. Using Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) principles, Fusion Steel Framing can take the detailed processes offsite into our advanced manufacturing facility. Our precision engineered light steel framing systems offer high performance combined with numerous sustainability benefits, as well as creating a much safer working environment for operatives. We support our construction clients to achieve exceptional programme benefits through a range of fully integrated panelised solutions backed by comprehensive services from design to installation. Through taking ownership of every building component, we have created an industry-leading solution in our through-wall FusionX™ system which, when combined with the Fusion Xterion™ cladding range, offers a complete through-wall integrated system with precise value-engineering and tried and tested performance.
We also have the capability to provide structural kits for volumetric modules, bathroom pods and prefabricated utility cupboards (PUCs) – offering the opportunity for fully integrated structures. From engineering excellence and meticulous manufacturing to fire test certification and acoustic performance, we tailor our light steel framing systems precisely to meet the brief – offering speed of build, high quality and great value.
Collaborative Approach
Our ethos at Fusion has always been one of collaboration, this starts at project inception. As leaders in light steel framing solutions, we have put more than twenty years of knowledge and experience into creating our five-step construction process. Synergy between our team and the people we work with is key to yielding the best results – focusing on the theory that the combined value and performance of several companies will be greater than the sum of the separate individual parts.
Our digitally enabled methodology focuses on safety, sustainability, efficiency, performance, cost and added value. By being involved collaboratively throughout the supply chain process – visibility and traceability improves dramatically, enabling us to identify opportunities for optimisation and improvement at the right time and avoid complications further down the line. When you build robust relationships throughout the supply chain, utilising the benefits of each party's knowledge, the potential value of the total project is increased. This is what we bring to the table through our five-step Fusion FocusTM process.
Having a team of highly skilled installers results in the efficiency and quality embedded in the offsite design and manufacturing processes being carried right through to the onsite arena. Our vision at Fusion is to be the offsite supply chain partner of choice, helping clients to achieve net zero carbon targets using our FusionXeroTM light steel frame superstructure solution. Quality, innovation and collaboration are at the heart of our company.
As Fusion Steel Framing continues to further its reputation as a market leader at the forefront of the offsite sector, the team is eager to engage with new clients and project teams who would like to find out more about our innovative systems and the overall benefits of light gauge steel framing. The team offers a wealth of knowledge in the steel sector, having advised numerous government and industry bodies, and can provide guidance from project conception through to completion.
