This guide walks you through exactly what happens when you work with us, so there are no surprises, just quality steel fabrication delivered on time.
What to Expect When You Work With Us
1. Initial Enquiry
Once you reach out, we'll get back to you quickly to gather the basics - your needs, site details, any drawings or specs.
➤ You can email us plans, rough sketches or just give us a call to talk it through.
2. Scoping & Site Visit
If needed, we'll visit the site or workshop to measure, assess access and confirm the best approach for your job.
➤ We'll make sure we fully understand what you're after - and flag anything that might affect time or cost.
3. Quote Provided
We'll send through a clear, detailed quote that includes:
Scope of work
Materials and finishes
Estimated timing
Any exclusions or assumptions
➤ We aim to avoid surprises - if something's uncertain, we'll call it out.
4. Quote Acceptance & Scheduling
Once you approve the quote, we'll lock in your job on our schedule and get moving on materials and prep.
➤ We'll confirm your start date and let you know how long things should take.
5. Fabrication in Our Workshop
Your job moves into production. We fabricate everything in-house unless specialist finishing or cutting is needed.
➤ We keep a close eye on quality and progress - and keep you informed if anything changes.
6. Updates (For Larger Jobs)
If your job spans multiple weeks or phases, we'll send weekly updates - short and sharp - to keep you in the loop.
➤ We'll include photos or milestone notes so you're never left wondering.
7. Delivery & Installation
We coordinate delivery or installation with your builder, site manager or you directly.
➤ We turn up when we say we will, with the gear, the team and the know-how.
8. Final Sign-Off
We'll do a handover, make sure everything's as expected and address any last tweaks needed.
➤ We want you to feel great about the result - and confident it'll last.
