What we cover
Types of Structural Steel Beams, Columns and Sections We Supply
Knowing the main types of structural steel can help you understand the terminology used in drawings and quotations. However, the correct section must always be selected according to the structural design.
Universal Beams (UBs) for Structural Support
Universal beams are horizontal structural members used to support floors, roofs and other building elements where specified by the structural engineer.
The correct beam size depends on the span, loads, support conditions and connection details outlined in the approved design.
Universal Columns (UCs) for Building Frames
Universal columns are commonly used as vertical supports within structural frames and beneath beams.
Their size, length and connection details must match the project drawings and engineering specifications.
RSJs and Steel Support Beams
RSJs and other steel beams provide structural support across openings and between supporting points in suitable building projects.
The exact steel section should be confirmed against the structural engineer’s specification before ordering.
Square, Rectangular and Circular Hollow Sections
Hollow structural sections are available in square, rectangular and circular shapes for frames, supports and other structural applications.
The required dimensions, wall thickness and material grade must match the approved design.
Section Type | Abbreviation | Shape |
|---|---|---|
Square Hollow Section | SHS | Square tube |
Rectangular Hollow Section | RHS | Rectangular tube |
Circular Hollow Section | CHS | Round tube |
Steel Channels, Angle Sections and Box Sections
Steel channels, angle sections and box sections are used in selected structural, support and fabrication applications.
The appropriate section depends on the intended use, loading requirements, connections and engineering specifications. Include the specified section details when requesting a quotation.
Structural Steel for Extensions, Renovations and New Builds
Steel requirements vary by project. Sharing your drawings and specifications early helps identify the required components and plan supply arrangements.
Steel Beams for House Extensions
Steel beams can support extensions and create wider internal openings, depending on the approved design.
Beam dimensions, quantities and connection details should be confirmed by the structural engineer before ordering.
Structural Steel for Property Renovations and Alterations
Renovations may require steel beams, columns or support components to accommodate structural changes.
The existing structure and site conditions should be assessed, and any differences from the drawings reviewed before ordering.
Steel Beams and Columns for New-Build Projects
New builds may require beams, columns and other structural sections to form part of the building frame.
Planning quantities and deliveries around the construction schedule helps coordinate supply and installation.
Structural Steel Supply for Commercial Buildings and Developments
Commercial projects may require multiple steel sections, repeated components or phased deliveries.
Clear specifications, delivery schedules and documentation requirements help align steel supply with the wider construction programme.
Structural Steel Delivery Across Hampshire
– Reliable Delivery Planning: Delivery arrangements are discussed according to component sizes, site access, availability and the agreed project schedule.
Planning Steel Deliveries Around Your Project Schedule
Steel deliveries should be coordinated with site readiness and installation dates to reduce storage issues and avoid unnecessary delays.
Providing your expected delivery date and project schedule helps establish suitable arrangements.
Site Access, Unloading and Handling Requirements
Delivery planning considers vehicle access, unloading space, component dimensions, lifting equipment and safe storage.
Any site restrictions should be discussed before delivery is arranged.
Coordinating Steel Supply with Installation Teams
Coordinating deliveries with builders and installation teams helps ensure steel components arrive when needed.
Clear communication about access, lifting arrangements and installation sequences helps minimise disruption.
Confirming Delivery Availability and Timescales
Delivery times depend on steel specifications, quantities, availability and site location.
Delivery coverage and expected timescales should be confirmed before placing an order.
How to Choose the Right Structural Steel for Your Project Ordering structural steel requires accurate information and confirmed specifications. Checking the details before ordering helps reduce delays, additional costs and installation problems.
Confirming Steel Beam Sizes, Lengths and Quantities
-
Check the section type, size, length, quantity, material grade and connection details where specified.
-
Ensure all details match the latest approved drawings and project specifications.
Using Structural Drawings and Engineering Specifications
-
Use current structural drawings to confirm beam sizes, dimensions, connections and steel requirements.
-
A qualified structural engineer should confirm the required sections and approve relevant structural details.
Understanding Steel Grades and Material Requirements
-
Steel grades specify material properties and must meet the project’s requirements.
-
Confirm the specified grade and documentation requirements before ordering rather than making assumptions.
Avoiding Incorrect Sizes and Delays Before Ordering
Verify dimensions, quantities and drawing versions before placing an order.
Resolve unclear specifications, confirm site access restrictions and agree delivery arrangements in advance.
Careful preparation helps ensure the supplied steel matches the project requirements and supports smoother construction planning.
Our Structural Steel Supply Process
We aim to make the supply process clear by identifying what your project needs and confirming the key details before the order proceeds.
Discuss Your Project and Supply Requirements
Tell us about your building project, its location and the type of steel you need. If you are working with a builder or structural engineer, let us know what information is already available.
Review Drawings, Dimensions and Specifications
Provide the relevant drawings, steel schedules or written specifications. These help identify the required sections, lengths, quantities and any special details.
If important information is missing, it should be clarified before the requirements are finalised.
Confirm Steel Sections, Quantities and Availability
Once the requirements are clear, the requested sections, quantities and supply details can be reviewed.
Availability, material specifications and any special requirements should be confirmed before the order is agreed.
Agree the Supply Details and Delivery Arrangements
The quotation should make clear what is included in the supply, along with the agreed price and any relevant delivery arrangements.
Confirm the expected timescale, delivery location and any additional requirements before proceeding.
Prepare the Site for Steel Delivery
Before the delivery date, make sure the site team understands the expected arrival and has suitable access and unloading arrangements in place.
Where lifting is required, the responsible project team should plan the equipment, handling method and safe working arrangements.
Quality, Building Regulations and Safe Steel Supply
Structural steel must match the design requirements for the building. Careful checks before ordering can help ensure that the correct components are supplied and that the wider project can proceed as planned.
Supplying Steel to the Agreed Project Specifications
The section type, dimensions, material grade and other details should match the agreed specification.
Check the quotation and order details carefully. Any changes to the design or required components should be confirmed before the order is finalised.
Structural Calculations and Engineer-Approved Designs
A suitably qualified structural engineer should assess the structural requirements and specify the steel needed for building work.
Do not select a beam or column based only on a similar project or an online size guide. The correct specification depends on the building, loads, span, supports and connection details.
Building Regulations and Project Compliance Requirements
Building Regulations may apply to structural alterations, extensions and other construction work. The requirements depend on the type and scope of the project.
The client and project team should confirm whether building control approval, inspections or other checks are needed. Steel supply does not replace the need for suitable structural design or required approvals.
Material Records, Inspection and Relevant Standards
Some projects require material certificates, inspection records, welding information or other documents. The exact requirements depend on the type of steelwork, the project specification and applicable standards.
Confirm any documentation requirements before ordering so the supply arrangements can take them into account.
Safe Transport, Lifting, Handling and Unloading
Steel components can create risks if they are not transported, unloaded or stored safely. Suitable planning is needed for vehicle access, lifting equipment, handling methods and site conditions.
The responsible project team should make sure the necessary arrangements are in place before the steel arrives.
