The quickest quotes come from complete information. If we have to come back with questions, your price takes longer. Here is a simple checklist of what to send.
The checklist
- Drawings or engineer’s calculations: the single most useful thing. A photo or PDF is fine.
- Section sizes: for example 203 x 133 x 25 UB, 100 x 100 x 5 SHS or 75 x 8 flat bar.
- Lengths and quantities: the length of each piece and how many you need.
- Processing: cutting, drilling (hole sizes and positions), end plates, cleats, or other fabrication.
- Finish: bare, primed or galvanised.
- Delivery postcode and any access restrictions, or let us know if you will collect.
- When you need it: your required date helps us plan.
Not sure of the sizes?
If you have a drawing from an architect or structural engineer, send it as it is and we will read the steel schedule from it. We cannot design or size structural steel ourselves, so if you do not yet have calculations, speak to a structural engineer first.
How to send it
Use our upload page to attach drawings, or get in touch by phone or email. Browse our structural steel range to check what we stock.
