01 / START WITH THE BUILDING USE
Choose the Application
Closest to Your Project.
How the building will operate shapes the space, structural interfaces and components you need to source.

Steel Factory Buildings
Production halls and manufacturing workshops arranged around equipment, material movement and working clearances.
- Production layout and column positions
- Equipment access and usable height
- Connections to adjoining work areas

Steel Warehouse Buildings
Storage and logistics buildings coordinated with handling routes, loading arrangements and the needs of the stored goods.
- Storage layout and clear working height
- Loading doors, canopies and vehicle access
- Roof, wall and insulation requirements

Crane-equipped Buildings
Industrial steel buildings where crane operation and the supporting structure need to be coordinated early.
- Crane arrangement and operating clearances
- Vendor wheel loads and duty information
- Crane-supporting steelwork interfaces
02 / BUILDING REQUIREMENTS
Define the Space.
Then Coordinate the Structure.
A footprint is a starting point. Bring the operating and site requirements into the discussion before the steelwork is released for manufacture.
Layout & Clearances
Length, width, eave height, preferred bays and column-free working areas.
Frame arrangement, production space and movement through the building.
Equipment & Handling
Equipment positions, access openings and crane vendor drawings where applicable.
Operating clearances, connection points and equipment-related structural inputs.
Roof & Walls
Specified roofing, walling, ventilation, insulation and access requirements.
The building envelope and the components included in your supply package.
Site & Design Criteria
Project location, applicable design criteria and site loading information from the responsible project team.
Design responsibilities, technical inputs and the requirements to be reviewed.
Phasing & Expansion
Construction stages, future extension plans and target delivery dates.
Building interfaces, drawing releases and shipment priorities.
03 / DEFINE THE PACKAGE
Agree What Your
Building Package Includes.
Set the supply scope and responsibilities before quotation, so the steelwork connects with the wider project.
Steel & Building Components
Identify the items to include in the proposed supply package:
- Primary structureColumns, rafters, beams and the agreed frame members.
- Secondary steelBracing, purlins, girts and supporting members.
- ConnectionsConnection details and the specified fixing items.
- Building envelopeRoof and wall items, openings and accessories required for your scope.
Coordinate the Project Interfaces
- Engineering
- Structural design, detailing, connection responsibilities and drawing approval.
- Site & Equipment
- Foundations, adjoining construction and crane or equipment interfaces with the responsible contractors and vendors.
- Installation Support
- Discuss the support required for the project location and confirm the agreed service scope.
- Inspection & Delivery
- Required records, receiving arrangements and the order of delivery to site.
04 / OTHER STRUCTURAL APPLICATIONS
When Your Building
Needs a Different Frame.
Some projects combine several working levels or require a long-span roof. Share the intended use and structural information for the building areas you need to source.
05 / PREPARE YOUR BUILDING BRIEF
Start with the
Information You Have.
Send your layout or drawings with the requirements below. If the design is developing, identify the decisions already made and the support you need next.
- 01Project location & building use
Country, site and the operations the building will serve.
- 02Layout & dimensions
Available plans, length, width, height and preferred working arrangement.
- 03Equipment & crane information
Vendor data, equipment access and known operating clearances.
- 04Roof, wall & material requirements
Specifications and any performance criteria already defined.
- 05Supply & service scope
Steelwork, envelope, engineering and site support to be reviewed.
- 06Target dates & delivery point
Project stages, planned receipt dates and the intended destination.
