These Forti Nova photographs show the practical route from an assessed ground-screw foundation to the erected light gauge steel shell. The selected frame, drawings, access, site and programme determine the final erection quotation.
01 Install the assessed foundations
Ground-screw type, positions, levels and acceptance requirements are set for the site and structural design before the frame is supported.
02 Set out the base frame
The base and floor members are positioned over the prepared foundation points, then checked against the supplied layout.
03 Raise the wall panels
Preformed wall sections are positioned around the base while temporary stability and the specified panel arrangement are maintained.
04 Check the erected structural shell
The assembled floor, walls, openings, bracing and roof geometry are checked before follow-on floor, roof and wall build-ups proceed.

The core bundle combines suitable ground screw installation, the steel frame and professional erection in one coordinated quotation. Site, design, access and coverage must be confirmed.
Which materials are discounted with the bundle?
Selected composite cladding, EPDM roofing and roofline receive discounted package pricing when added to a qualifying ground screw, frame and erection bundle. The written quotation confirms eligible products, quantities and scope.
