04/02/2005 - 3.5bn grant allocation opened to private developers

Jon Rouse, Chief Executive of the Housing Corporation has decided to open the whole of the £3.5bn grant allocation to private developers, beginning with this summer’s bidding round. He intends to award grants to about ten large bodies to be selected in July. Bids will be judged on financial standing, technical ability and geographical location.

Exemplar production facilities will be set up at strategic locations all around the UK. This is a perfect fit for the offsite stressed skin panel system developed and patented by smartroof ltd. Smart roof’s truly amazing build speed is the ideal solution, giving excellent savings on whole build cost. “This is a fantastic opportunity for manufacturers holding smartroof licences to benefit from our new product developments” said David Leaney, Managing Director of Wolf Systems Ltd.

12/08/2004 - Easi-joist beams easily passed the Part E requirement for intermediate floors.

Tests were carried out at The Building Test Centre in August to see whether Easi-joist beams could provide the required 40dB sound reduction without the need for insulation between the joists.

The floor comprised of 22mm chipboard, 219 deep easijoist beams and 15mm standard wallboard. The chipboard was glued and screwed using the NHBC recommended fixing centres.

The test gave a staggering 41db result which shows that easi-joist metal webs floors give the best result of any type of joist system and are ideal for intermediate floor construction.
