Working as steel framing contractors in Cambridge, SFDC Ltd supports main contractors on both college estate works and science park commercial construction. Our drylining contractors in Cambridge install acoustic partitions and ceilings for research and residential buildings, while our commercial facades, cladding and fire stopping teams deliver the building envelope performance that heavily serviced laboratory and college projects require — all coordinated around term times and estate operations.
Working within a Cambridge college means navigating listed courts, tight access through medieval archways and a programme that often has to fit around term times and ceremonial events. SFDC's facade and cladding teams are experienced in sympathetic external envelope works — from rainscreen installations on new college buildings to careful overcladding and refurbishment of later twentieth-century additions. We coordinate with college surveyors and conservation architects to ensure materials, colours and junction details meet the expectations of the estate.
The Cambridge Science Park, the Biomedical Campus and the developments around Eddington and North West Cambridge are generating a steady pipeline of commercial and research buildings — many of them steel-framed with light gauge SFS infill to form the external envelope. SFDC delivers the SFS structural substrate coordinated with the facade, glazing and fire stopping as a single package, which is exactly the kind of interface control that laboratory and research buildings need to achieve their weathertight and fire compartmentation targets.
Cambridge's pipeline mixes highly serviced research space with college accommodation and private residential. All of it demands high standards of acoustic separation, fire compartmentation and M&E coordination. SFDC installs drylining and ceiling systems coordinated with reflected ceiling plans, and certified fire stopping around the dense service penetrations typical of laboratory buildings. Every fire-rated installation is documented for the building's safety case.
