Engineering Case Study

Overcoming Site & Structural Constraints

The Engineering & Logistical Challenge

Post-Brexit UK customs complexities and stringent Building Control approval processes (Building Regulations Part A, B, and L) created hesitations about sourcing prefabricated framing overseas.

The SerVilla Pre-Engineered Steel Solution

SerVilla supplied an airtight commercial dossier with FTA Statement on Origin (guaranteeing 0% duty) and comprehensive BS EN 1993 calculation books counter-checked for UK national annexes. The Approved Inspector signed off the structural calculations in 48 hours.

International Freight & Customs Route
Direct ocean freight via 40ft High Cube container from Gebze to London Gateway port in 12 days. Handled on DAP terms with direct container destuffing at the Surrey residential plot.
