This webinar will provide an overview of light steel framing and an introduction to the newly published National Light-gauge Steelwork Specification.
Light steel framing is a well-established construction method which is ideally suited to provide housing and multi-storey, multi-occupancy residential buildings for the modern age.
The British Constructional Steelwork Association and The Steel Construction Institute have published the National Light-gauge Steelwork Specification (NLSS) to promote greater consistency in project specifications involving light-gauge steel frames. This document is designed to be easily integrated into contract documentation, ensuring acceptable standards for both manufacturing and installing light-gauge steel frame buildings are met.
