The most important people in our business are our clients...as they are our greatest advocates.

Stakeholder Consultation

We hear you…as not all client requirements are the same. So before a single line is created, through consultation with all stakeholders, we listen to gain a complete understanding of each individual client’s requirement. This is first and foremost to a successful outcome. Timing and phasing is also a critical consideration for our clients, so working with them to ensure the least possible disruption while meeting delivery targets is a high priority.

Site Analysis

After a detailed site analysis and survey, to capture the full site environment, both above and below the ground, a defined and accurate base-point from which a design can be developed is established.

Preliminary Design

In partnership with our specialised tension membrane consulting engineers, to achieve a cost-effective, fit for purpose structure, a well-conceived preliminary design process provides an opportunity to explore function and form, while structural requirements are met.

Developed Design

Once the preliminary design has been agreed a developed design can be created, by harnessing the talents of the most experienced specialist tension membrane engineers, using the most up-to-date structural design CAD software available. This marriage of talent and technology produces precise results, which in turn streamline the fabrication process, reducing production times, while increasing accuracy and quality.

Fabrication

The market thirst for tension membrane structures has given rise to specialist fabricators for both the steel portal structure and the tension membrane elements. These different, but both highly specialised industries, each requires specialist equipment, skilled craftsmen and techniques developed over many projects. This tried-and-tested collaboration between design engineers, steel portal structure and tension membrane fabricators, working in sync towards a single goal results in the highest quality, most complete product offering on the market. This approach not only ensures Spaceframe has the best performing and highest quality product offering, but it guarantees we can deliver a turn-key solution at the lowest possible cost to our clients, faster and more effectively than previously possible.

Installation

Accuracy is the name of the game here! A precise structure needs equally precise footings and assembly…there is no room for error. Spaceframe’s skilled installation professionals know how critical this is, a place where perfectionism is rewarded. Our bespoke system for footing installation ensures pinpoint accuracy at each footing interval. Then laser and GPS coordinate systems ensure they are accurate to the last millimetre before encased in concrete. Accurate foundations make for accurate structures, which make for efficient and hassle-free installation. Our contractors, share the same ethos and duty of care to our projects. They understand our expectations for our clients and work cooperatively to ensure there are not only met, but exceeded.

Handover

They say that giving is better than receiving, in our case it could not be more true. The handover of a successful project is a very satisfying time for all stakeholders and one that comes with a great sense of achievement. Our goal is to deliver, on time, in budget and to exceed our client expectations. But that is not the end of the relationship, but the beginning, as we are there for our clients care, for ongoing maintenance and warranty.

Health and Safety

No area holds greater importance in our business, as keeping our site safe with the aim of ‘zero harm’ and is without compromise! To practice what we preach, Spaceframe consults regularly with an NZQA Qualified Health & Safety provider. Their construction sector experience of the Health & Safety landscape ensures our documentation, methodology and onsite best practices are adhered to all times. The level of oversight they bring to all aspects of our projects provides confidence and certainty to our clients. We take seriously our duties and responsibilities to provide a safe and compliant worksite at all times. In carrying out our business activities Spaceframe continuously strives to be leaders in our management of the workplace, seeking to manage or guard against all factors, which could lead to the injury or illness of our workers, contractors, volunteers or members of the public.
