Steel Site Survey

As structural steel fabricators, we understand the importance of accuracy from the outset. We carry out detailed steel site surveys using 3D laser scanning to capture accurate measurements before fabrication begins. This gives us a clear picture of your site from the start and helps ensure your steel is made to fit properly first time, reducing the risk of issues, delays, or extra work once it reaches site.

Using 3D laser scanning, we take precise measurements of your site, including existing structures, levels, and key dimensions. This creates an accurate digital model that we can work from throughout the design and fabrication process. The data can be provided in CAD and BIM formats, making it easy to share with your design team and keep everything aligned.

Once the site has been scanned, the information is used to produce accurate fabrication drawings. These drawings guide our steel factory and ensure every beam, plate, and component is made to match real site conditions.

This approach helps everything fit together as it should on site, reducing adjustments and supporting a smoother, more efficient installation.

What is included in a steel site survey?

A steel site survey involves assessing site conditions to ensure structural steelwork can be safely and accurately installed. This includes checking access routes, measuring key dimensions, identifying potential installation challenges, and confirming requirements for lifting and delivery.


Why is a site survey important before steel fabrication and installation?

A site survey helps ensure that all structural steel is designed and fabricated to fit correctly on site. It reduces the risk of installation issues, identifies access limitations early, and allows for more accurate planning of delivery, lifting, and assembly.


Do you carry out steel site surveys for residential and commercial projects?

Yes, we carry out steel site surveys for both residential and commercial projects across Kent and surrounding areas. Whether it’s a loft conversion, extension, or larger structural steel framework, our surveys help ensure a smooth and efficient installation process from start to finish.
