Smyth Steel Limited adopt Fastrak Building Designer

Stella Nova - Bootle, Merseyside

Stuart Broome, CSC's Sales Manager, is proud to have added Fastrak to the Company's state of the art practice, he comments - "Fastrak is excellent for scheme designs because of its speed of modelling and the ease with which you can then extract material lists for estimating - and produce a cost plan. It is paramount that the cost plan is economical in order to win the work."

A winning combination is now evident from the Smyth Steel and CSC link - with Fastrak helping Smyth Steel to fulfil their objective of meeting the needs of their clients.

Time and cost savings are of paramount importance to Smyth Steel Ltd - the Coleraine, Northern Ireland based constructional steelwork specialists. They are noted for beating demanding schedules on major developments. The full structural design service offered by Smyth Steel has been boosted by their acquisition of CSC's Fastrak Building Designer, which is now used to design all of their design and build steelwork projects.

Bolton Medical Centre

The software has already been used on Bolton Medical Centre - Smyth Steel was engaged to design, supply and erect the structure. The frame was assembled; precast stairs installed and edge protection - on time and on budget.

"Fastrak is very quick at designing a composite building and 80% of our buildings are composite. Fastrak provides composite or non-composite design and we can compare the two" comments Alastair Smyth, Business Development Manager at Smyth Steel.

A full design-and build solution - Stella Nova residential scheme in Bootle, Merseyside - was provided by Smyth Steel, utilising Fastrak. This is a pioneering 14 storey new build development of 142 luxury flats with 18,000 sq ft of retail space and 91 secure, on-site car spaces.

Smyth Steel Limited has a team of highly skilled professionals, committed to achieving excellence in the service of their clients.
