Frequently Asked Questions
Can I request custom steel components?
Absolutely. Steel fabrication is ideal for one-off or custom components, especially when off-the-shelf parts don’t fit. Whether it’s a replacement bracket, a custom-built platform or a specialised frame, fabricators can cut, weld and finish steel to match your exact specs.
Do I need an engineer before fabrication starts?
For structural jobs or safety-critical parts, yes—an engineer should design and certify the drawings. For simple fabrications like trays or brackets, basic sketches may be enough. Either way, providing clear dimensions and load info helps ensure the finished product does what it needs to.
What’s the typical turnaround for steel fabrication?
Small jobs like brackets or plates may take two to five days. Larger projects like structural frames or platforms can take one to three weeks, depending on complexity and material availability. A clear scope and timely communication can significantly reduce delays and speed up delivery.
