Foreword

We are delighted to welcome you to our new construction pocket book, which provides quick and easy reference to our leading construction products and some of the issues facing the industry at this time.

As you will see, Corus has a wide portfolio of products that all share the common characteristics of quality, sustainability and ease of use. All steel construction products are engineered off-site to facilitate safety, speed of installation and the minimisation of rework and waste. These benefits have real value so the construction industry is increasing its use of off-site technologies. They are often referred to as ‘modern methods’, but steel construction products have always been delivered this way.

Here at Corus, we are dedicated to continuous improvement and innovation in everything we do. We have developed a tremendous knowledge of steel and its various applications, but we are constantly researching ways that our versatile and reliable material can be put to further good use. We are always happy to share our knowledge, so that you can take it and apply it to achieve your aims. That is the spirit in which we present you with this pocket book of our construction products.
