Why clients choose us

Structural steelwork contractors who keep the programme moving

Site-first approach

Our steel erectors turn up prepared, with lift plans agreed and kit on the wagon, so the crane is never waiting.

Fabrication on site

On site steel fabrication and welding means discrepancies get solved the same day instead of stalling the build.

Main contractor ready

We work as a steelwork subcontractor day in, day out - inductions, RAMS, permits and progress reporting included.

Design to installation

Structural steel design and installation handled together, or straight erection of steel fabricated by others.

Clear communication

One point of contact from quote to handover, with honest updates when site conditions change.

Safety taken seriously

Harnesses, edge protection, exclusion zones and lift plans are standard, not an afterthought.

The people on your project

Experienced steelwork specialists

Behind every steel frame we erect is a team that reads drawings, plans craneage and keeps the programme moving. From site managers and lead steel erectors to project co-ordinators, we work as a single unit so your structural steel installation arrives on time, bolted up safely and handed over ready for the next trade.

  • Site managers who run the erection programme and craneage
  • Lead steel erectors handling setting out, bolting and onsite fabrication
  • Project co-ordinators for drawings, schedules, RAMS and progress updates

Our process

From first drawing to frame handover

  1. 01

    Enquiry & drawings

    Send your drawings, tonnage or sketches. We talk through the structure, access and the programme you need to hit.

  2. 02

    Survey & quote

    Where it helps, we visit site to check access, craneage and setting out, then issue a clear, itemised quote.

  3. 03

    Planning & RAMS

    Lift plans, method statements and risk assessments are issued before we arrive, so your site team knows exactly what is happening.

  4. 04

    Erection on site

    Our steel erectors set out, lift and bolt the frame, fabricating on site where the build calls for it.

  5. 05

    Sign off & handover

    Connections checked, plumb and level verified, site cleared and the frame handed over ready for the follow-on trades.

FAQ

Common questions

What steel erection services do you provide?+

We work as steel erection contractors and structural steel installers on commercial, industrial and residential projects. That covers steel frame erection, structural steelwork installation, mezzanine floors, beams and columns, and on site steel fabrication and modifications where the design needs adjusting.

Do you work as a steelwork subcontractor for main contractors?+

Yes. A large part of our work is as a steel erection subcontractor for main contractors, developers and fabricators. We can price from your drawings, work to your programme and integrate with your site rules, inductions and RAMS.

Can you handle onsite steel fabrication?+

We do. Site conditions rarely match the drawings perfectly, so we carry the equipment and skills to fabricate, cut, weld and adapt steelwork on site rather than sending it back to the shop and losing days.

Do you supply the steel or erect what has already been fabricated?+

Either. We can take on the structural steel design, supply and installation route, or work purely as steelwork erectors on steel that has already been fabricated by others.

How quickly can you price a project?+

Send us drawings, a schedule or even sketches with your postcode and programme dates, and we will come back to you with a clear price and the resource we would put on it.

What areas do you cover?+

We are based in the South East and travel for commercial steelwork projects. Tell us where the site is when you enquire and we will confirm straight away.
