How we work<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The best structural solutions start with understanding.<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A drawing tells us what someone drew. It doesn't tell us how you're going to build it, what the site will allow, or where your programme is tight. So we ask first.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Why we don't lead with a price<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Anyone can price a drawing. Fewer can tell you the drawing is wrong.<\/h2>\n\t\t
\n \t\t\t

When a supplier prices what they're given and nothing else, they're making a bet: that the drawing is right, the site will cooperate, and the other trades will land where they're supposed to.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

That bet gets settled on your site, at your cost.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We'd rather spend an hour on the front end than have you spend a fortnight on the back end.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t

Photograph<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Two of your people over a drawing on a factory bench or a site table. Mid-conversation, mid-argument even. Hands on paper. Not looking at the camera.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n \t\t\t

The obvious question<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

\"That sounds slow. Can you just price it?\"<\/h2>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
\n \t\t\t

Yes. Send the drawings and we'll price them, on your timeline. If you've got a tender closing Friday, we're not going to make you sit through a workshop.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

But we'll also tell you what we'd do differently \u2014 because we're the ones who have to make it fit. That conversation makes the price better. It doesn't make it slower.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t

Proof slot<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Average days from drawings to priced proposal. Publish the real number. It kills this objection outright.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Proof slot<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Turnaround for a straight re-price on a revised drawing set.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

One coordinator<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Assigned at first contact. Yours until the last delivery.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

One drawing set<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Timber and steel detailed together, off the same revision.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n \t\t\t

The method<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Four steps. No mystery.<\/h2>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n \t\t\t

01 \u2014 Understand the job<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We ask about the project, not just the plans.<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

What are you trying to achieve? How are you sequencing it? What's the site going to allow? Where's the programme tight, and where's the budget tight \u2014 because they're rarely the same place.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

02 \u2014 Engineer the answer<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We work out the right structural approach.<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Sometimes more steel. Sometimes less. Sometimes changing how the floor spans so you can lose a row of props. We'll show you the reasoning, what it costs and what it saves.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

03 \u2014 Build it right<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Timber and steel, our factories, our people.<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Both packages detailed off the same drawing set. When steel and timber are made under one roof, the junction stops being an argument and starts being a detail.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

04 \u2014 Land it on site<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Delivered in the order you'll build it.<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Sequenced to your programme, not our loading dock. Marked up so your carpenters aren't sorting a pile. One number to call if anything moves \u2014 which, on a site, it will.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n \t\t\t

When it goes wrong<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Anyone can be a good supplier on a good day.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Sooner or later something will be short, late or wrong. It happens to every supplier in this industry and any who tell you otherwise are lying. What matters is what happens next.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Here's what we do: we call you before you call us. We tell you what's happened and what it does to your programme, how we're fixing it and by when. We don't wait for you to find out on site.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

That's not a promise that nothing will ever go wrong. It's a promise that you'll never be the last to know.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n \t\t\t

Start with a conversation.<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Fifteen minutes on the phone about your job will tell you more than a fortnight of tender responses.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\tStart a Conversation \u2192\n\t<\/a>\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
