Commercial
On a commercial job the steel is only half the deliverable. The other half is drawings issued on time, certificates at contract award, deliveries that match the sequence and claims that arrive in the right format. We are set up for both halves.
Capability
Plant platforms, maintenance walkways, access stairs and ladders with grating, kick plates and handrail systems, detailed against the access and fall-protection requirements in your documentation.
Support frames, plinths, gantries and bracketry for mechanical, hydraulic and electrical plant, coordinated with the services drawings before fabrication.
Multiple identical items — bollards, bike rails, frames, brackets, door surrounds — jigged and produced as a run, so unit cost drops and the fiftieth item matches the first.
Insurance certificates, SWMS, site inductions, ITPs, shop drawing transmittals and progress claims handled through your systems and in line with the Security of Payment Act.
The purlin-clamp detail is what won them the job. Every other fabricator wanted to penetrate the roof, which would have put our waterproofing warranty at risk. Fourteen platforms in, four weeks, no penetrations.

View projectHow we work
01
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
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
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
We issue shop drawings for approval. Fabrication does not start until they are signed off, which protects both of us from expensive rework.
05
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
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
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.

Send through drawings, sketches or photographs and we will come back with a written price, a lead time and a clear scope.
