Shepherd spacemaker concrete construction homes fall within the classifications relating to large panel system (LPS) dwellings. Precast concrete walls may be used to provide stability in frame structures (shear walls), to carry vertical loads or to act as fire barriers. Precast walls may be used, with floor slabs, to form the complete structure (i.e. large panel construction) or be used as part of a concrete frames system. The thickness of the wall will be determined by its required structural capacity and also by requirements for fire resistance and thermal or acoustic insulation. The dimensions of the walls may be limited by requirements for transport and handling on site. Connection to the other members of the building will be by means of reinforcement projecting from the wall into an in situ concrete ‘stitch’. You should be aware that as Shepherd spacemaker concrete homes are of 'non traditional' construction, the interest rate applied for your mortgage or remortgage can be slightly higher than those of traditional builds. Please bear this in mind when applying for a mortgage or remortgage for a concrete home, house, flat or bungalow.
