Steel Framing Speeds UK Retirement Build
Construction is underway on a new retirement community on Duce Drive in Telford, England, that will offer affordable housing for residents aged 60 and over. The project is being developed as part of a government-backed Shared Ownership plan to meet increasing demand for high-quality retirement housing.
The Duce Drive development will use Modern Methods of Construction, with a focus on cold-formed steel (CFS) framing. This approach allows the building process to take place off site, reducing construction time, costs and environmental impact. Steel framing also contributes to improved thermal performance, helping future residents lower their energy bills while supporting long-term sustainability.
