What we work in
Material and finish are specified in the quote rather than assumed, because the wrong finish in the wrong environment is the most expensive mistake in fabrication.

How we work
From enquiry to handover
Six stages, the same on a single lintel and on a multi-stage commercial package. The difference is scale, not process.
01
Enquiry and scope
Send drawings, sketches or photographs through the quote form. We confirm what is included, flag anything that looks unresolved, and tell you what else we need.
02
Site measure or drawing review
For residential and retrofit work we measure on site. For new commercial builds we work from the architectural and structural documentation and raise RFIs where the detail is unclear.
03
Fixed quote and program
You receive a written quote with inclusions, exclusions, finish specification, lead time and installation requirements. Nothing is priced as a provisional sum unless we say so.
04
Shop drawings and approval
We issue shop drawings for approval. Fabrication does not start until they are signed off, which protects both of us from expensive rework.
05
Fabrication and finishing
Cutting, forming, welding and assembly happen in the Campbellfield workshop. Galvanising and powder coating are booked in as part of the program, not as an afterthought.
06
Installation and handover
Our crews deliver and install, make good, and hand over the documentation package. Any defect items are listed and closed out before we invoice the final claim.
Common questions
Before you send an enquiry
For most residential and light commercial work we return a written quote within three business days of the site measure. Larger commercial packages that need shop drawings or engineering input usually take five to ten business days, and we will tell you which category your job falls into when you first make contact.
If your job is going to take longer than that to price, we say so upfront rather than letting the enquiry go quiet.
No. Site measures and written quotes are free across metropolitan Melbourne, including for homeowners.
The exception is detailed design work. If you want us to develop a design concept, produce drawings for a planning application, or engage an engineer on your behalf before there is a job to price, that is chargeable work and we will agree a fee before starting it.
Whatever you have. For structural work, engineering drawings and architectural plans let us price accurately without a site visit. For gates, balustrades and custom work, photographs and rough dimensions are usually enough to start a conversation, and we will confirm on site before fabrication.
If you have nothing but an idea, that is still a valid starting point. A large part of what we do is turning a description into something that can actually be fabricated and installed.
Most residential jobs run four to six weeks from approved shop drawings to installation. Commercial packages typically run six to twelve weeks depending on size, finish and whether galvanising is involved.
Hot-dip galvanising and powder coating add roughly one to two weeks and are booked as part of the program rather than treated as a separate step. Urgent repair work is handled differently — see the question on emergency attendance below.
We are fabricators, not structural engineers. For load-bearing work — wall removals, mezzanines, portal frames, transfer structures — you need an engineer's design, and we fabricate to it.
If you do not have an engineer we can refer you to consultants we work with regularly, and we will coordinate directly with them once appointed. We produce shop drawings from the engineering design, which is a different deliverable to the design itself.
