Trussed Rafters Unite Student Accommodation Projects
Harlow Timber Systems has undertaken the design, manufacture and supply of the roof structures of five different student accommodation buildings around the country for the UK’s largest provider of such developments.
We undertook the contracts for Bluestone Plc as the development company representing Unite: an organisation which has spearheaded the use of off-site manufacturing technologies to optimise construction programmes in a very competitive sector.
We have been able to produce trusses to provide viable solutions for roofs with widely differing configurations, pitches and covering materials: all offering speed of erection, controlled cost and high all round flexibility. The projects have been completed in locations such as Coventry, Buxton and Nottingham.
Possibly the largest scheme was the St Peter Street Development in Nottingham where we supplied 750 trusses together with 75 dormer structures to the designs of architectural consultancy, Stephen George and Partners.
While the St Peter Street contract, valued at over £110k, represented a fairly conventional duo-pitch roof, the latest one produced for the William Davis project in Coventry features very shallow sloping, square trusses. These exhibit just a one degree pitch to clear the rainwater from its standing seam metal decking.
Significantly, these on-going student accommodation developments underline the time and cost savings offered by timber trussed rafters, being employed as they are in combination with factory made modules, another modern method of construction.
