Open any question to read more. If something depends on your drawings, chosen steel specification or site conditions, MAH can talk it through with you.
Can you work directly from structural engineer calculations?
Engineer calculations can help with initial discussions or quotation. For fabrication and delivery, MAH requires structural engineer General Arrangement (GA) drawings with measurements so that no key dimensions or details have to be assumed. Designs must be approved by the appropriate engineers before fabrication.
What are fabrication drawings and why do I need them?
Fabrication drawings give the workshop the information required to make each component, including dimensions, hole positions and weld details. They turn the agreed structural design into instructions that can be checked and followed during manufacture.
Yes. The required drawing approval needs to be completed before fabrication starts. This allows the customer, builder, architect and structural engineer, as applicable, to confirm that the proposed steelwork matches the project requirements.
Can you speak directly to my architect or builder?
Yes. MAH can coordinate with the project team to clarify dimensions, connections, build sequence and practical details before the steelwork reaches the workshop or site.
What if site measurements are uncertain?
A site survey can help establish the measurements needed for the job. MAH's existing surveying service includes laser-scanning technology where appropriate, particularly useful for alterations to existing buildings and loft conversion projects.
