Your Questions, Answered...
1. What types of steel buildings do you supply and erect?
We provide a wide range of steel buildings, including commercial units, industrial warehouses, agricultural storage facilities, garages, workshops, and bespoke designs tailored to your specific requirements.
2. How long does the process take from order to completion?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project, but we typically aim to deliver and erect standard steel buildings within 6–12 weeks. For custom builds, we will provide a detailed project timeline during the consultation phase.
3. Do you handle the design and planning process?
Yes, we offer a full design service, including structural engineering and CAD drawings. We can also assist with planning applications and approvals to ensure a smooth process from start to finish.
4. Are your buildings insulated?
We offer both insulated and non-insulated options. For buildings requiring temperature control, we can include insulated panels or cladding to meet your needs.
5. What kind of foundations are needed for a steel building?
Steel buildings typically require concrete foundations. We can advise you on the best foundation type for your project and work with you to ensure it’s prepared to support the structure.
6. Do you provide doors and windows for the buildings?
Yes, we supply and install a variety of doors and windows, including roller doors, pedestrian doors, fire escape doors, and custom window options, to ensure your building is functional and secure.
7. What maintenance is required for a steel building?
Steel buildings are low-maintenance. Regular checks for debris, cleaning of gutters, and inspections of cladding and fastenings are usually sufficient to keep your building in excellent condition for years to come.
8. Are your buildings weatherproof?
Absolutely! Our steel buildings are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. We use high-quality cladding, weather seals, and structural bracing to protect against wind, rain, and snow.
9. Can I customise the colour and finish of the building?
Yes, we offer a wide range of finishes and colors for cladding, trims, and flashings. This allows you to customise the appearance of your building to suit your preferences or branding.
10. Do you provide security features for the building?
Yes, we can integrate security features such as mesh fencing, gated access, and secure roller doors to help protect your investment.
11. Can steel buildings be expanded in the future?
One of the advantages of steel buildings is their flexibility. They can be designed for future expansion, allowing you to add more space or bays as your needs grow.
12. What are the benefits of a steel building compared to traditional construction?
Steel buildings are cost-effective, durable, and quick to construct. They’re also highly customisable and require less maintenance than traditional brick-and-mortar buildings.
13. Do you offer warranties on your buildings?
Yes, our steel buildings come with a warranty that covers the structural frame and materials. The exact terms depend on the project and materials used, which we will outline in your contract.
14. Do you handle projects in all locations?
We provide services in a wide range of areas and will assess the site’s location during our consultation. Some remote or challenging locations may require additional planning, but we’ll work with you to overcome any hurdles.
