Structural steel buildings
Turnkey industrial buildings, steel-framed factories and warehouses, roofs for hospitals, schools and commercial buildings, bus terminals and stadium stands are our main fields. With fast erection, low weight and ductile behaviour in earthquakes, steel is the material of choice for industrial buildings.
Structure and cladding together
Having the structure and the cladding solved by the same team is an advantage for weathertightness and detailing. We also carry out the roof and façade cladding of our steel buildings; see our Roof and Façade Cladding service page for cladding types and details.
Space frame or steel truss?
When the span is small and the form simple, a steel truss is often the most economical answer. As spans grow, or when two-way action or a special geometry is needed, space frame systems come to the fore. We define the right system for your building together at the survey stage.
- Column–beam–truss industrial buildings
- Steel roofs for barns, stores and agricultural buildings
- Shell and special-form steel roofs
- Roof renewal and strengthening of existing buildings
Steel Structures — Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a steel building take?
With foundations ready, the structure and cladding of a medium-sized steel industrial building can be completed within a few months; the programme is fixed with the design.
Can I order the cladding separately?
Yes. We also take on sandwich panel, trapezoidal sheet, standing seam and polycarbonate cladding for existing space truss or steel roofs as a separate job.
How do you decide which system is more suitable?
Span, height, form, budget and use are evaluated together. After the survey we present the space frame and steel truss options side by side.
