Stick Build
Stand-Alone Steel Frame System
Stand-Alone Steel Frame System
Our Stick Build system delivers fast, accurate construction using light gauge steel sections for residential and mixed-use buildings up to eight storeys. Installed directly from slab level, it provides a clean, efficient alternative to traditional methods and supports a wide range of external finishes.
Lightweight steel makes Stick Build ideal for vertical extensions, particularly across London, where additional floors can be added with minimal structural impact.
This method is rapidly becoming the preferred choice for London-based developments, particularly where unused airspace above commercial buildings can be transformed into high-quality residential units—maximising value without extensive structural alterations.
LGSF Technology
Our Light Gauge Steel Frame (LGSF) solutions deliver precision, speed, and long-term stability for modern residential and mid-rise developments. While Stick Build is assembled on-site, panelised systems are covered separately.
SFS Infill
We supply engineered SFS infill for concrete frame buildings, enabling fast envelope closure and reliable façade performance.
Rooftop Extensions
As specialists in steel frame rooftop extensions, we design lightweight structures that allow clean, efficient vertical expansion without major strengthening works.
Residential & Industrial Steel Structures
Stick Build supports steel frame homes, garden rooms, and bespoke residential designs, alongside durable industrial and agricultural steel buildings.
Specialist Sub-Contractor
We operate as a dedicated steel frame supplier and SFS sub-contractor, offering full design support, 3D modelling, and value-engineered solutions for projects of all scales.
FAQ – Stick Build Steel Frame System
What is a Stick Build Steel Frame System?
Stick Build is a construction method using light gauge steel sections assembled on-site to form the main structure. It delivers fast, accurate builds ideal for residential and mixed-use projects up to eight storeys.
What does SFS mean in construction?
SFS stands for Steel Framing System, which uses light gauge steel studs and tracks to create strong, lightweight structural walls and infill panels.
Is Stick Build suitable for rooftop extensions?
Yes. Its lightweight nature makes Stick Build perfect for rooftop extensions, allowing additional floors with minimal structural reinforcement.
What are the benefits of using steel instead of timber?
Steel is dimensionally stable, fire-resistant, lightweight, and doesn’t warp, rot, or shrink. It supports faster installation and long-term structural reliability.
Can steel frame systems be used with any external finish?
Yes. Stick Build works with a wide range of finishes, including render, brick slips, natural stone, timber laminates, and rainscreen cladding.
What is SFS infill?
SFS infill involves installing light gauge steel panels between concrete floor slabs to form the façade, providing a fast and efficient method to close the building envelope.
Is Light Gauge Steel Frame (LGSF) the same as SFS?
Both use light gauge steel. SFS often refers to non-loadbearing infill and façade systems, while LGSF can form loadbearing walls, floors, and full structural frames.
Is steel frame construction suitable for homes?
Absolutely. Steel frame homes benefit from increased strength, improved fire performance, fast installation, and long-term durability.
How long does a Stick Build project take?
Timeframes vary, but steel systems reduce onsite build time thanks to prefabrication, lightweight components, and clean installation.
Do steel frame buildings cost more?
While material costs can vary, overall project costs are often lower due to faster construction, reduced labour, and fewer onsite delays.
