Frame System Benefits

Why waste Time and Money on Organising and Managing more Contracts than you need to?

If intending to install a bespoke steel shaft within the building, you will also need to include for contract negotiation of each individual package, different payment terms and individual invoice and contract processing.
In addition, on-site project management time i.e. liaison between trades for fitting of specialist Halfen fixing channels, cutting of fire boarding around the fixing channels and for installing and testing the lifting beams and eyes.

Ideal Lifts have for many years engaged and worked closely with MMC designers and manufactures gaining an understanding in their processes and developed building specific solutions.
