WHAT WE DID…

Faithful and Gould carried out an independent cost and programme comparison between Hadley Steel Frame System and Traditional Blockwork. The objective of the study was to determine the most cost-effective build method in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on a sample size of 2,000m2 external wall area.

…THE RESULTS

In a typical week with a single 2 + 1 crew, The Hadley Steel Frame proved significantly quicker to install compared to traditional blockwork. This resulted in a reduced overall construction duration.

The Hadley Steel Frame proved to be 14 weeks quicker to install 2,000M2 external wall compared to traditional blockwork.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR CONSTRUCTION?

Based on the findings, the potential benefits of using The Hadley Steel Frame system in lieu of the traditional blockwork are
Faster programme

Faster programme

Follow-on trades commencee sooner due to earlier weather tightness

Reduced pressure

Reduced pressure

Increased float for tasks not on the crticial path

Quicker Return

Quicker Return

Reduction in overall programme yields faster return on investment

AND MORE
COST EFFECTIVE

This cost comparison of The Hadley Steel Frame against Blockwork speaks for itself.

There is a significant saving in Main Contractor Time Related Preliminaries when using The Hadley Steel Frame compared to traditional blockwork. The magnitude of this potential cost saving is largely driven by a shorter overall construction duration. In the sample used for the purposes of this study, the savings equaled nearly 4 millions AED.
