Capabilities
The figures an estimator needs, in one table. If your job is outside them, ask anyway: we splice, we sub-let galvanising, and we have partner works for the very large pieces.

How a job runs
- Stage 1
Detailing
Tekla models from your engineer’s drawings, with connection design where needed. You approve the GA drawings before we cut anything.
- Stage 2
Fabrication
Beam line, plate and CNC drilling in Bay 1. Every member marked and matched to the erection sequence.
- Stage 3
Finishing
Shot blast, intumescent or standard paint systems in Bay 2. Galvanising through a partner plant.
- Stage 4
Erection
Our own erection crews with CPCS operators and appointed persons. Cranes hired for each job to suit the lift.
