Why Fabricators Call Us

The difference between the contracts you're winning and the
contracts you're delivering is usually one thing — the right
person in the design seat. 

Most fabricators don't struggle to win work. They struggle to
deliver it at the standard they're capable of because the
design support behind the scenes isn't good enough.
 
We don't just produce drawings for our clients. We solve the problems that puts most designers off and stalls a project.
 
This means:
 
⦿ Errors caught before they reach the workshop
⦿ Disputed charges defended with precision
⦿ Team members guided and mentored through complex problems
⦿ Design that accounts for how steel actually gets built
 
We act as your technical backbone when you need it. A specialist operation built around one standard:
fabrication-first design that holds up on site.

Meet Your Technical Lead

Lewis Hillier TMIET - Specialist Steel Fabrication Designer

26 years in steel fabrication design. Started on the workshop
floor in Auckland, New Zealand — graduated top of his
apprenticeship class, moved into the drawing office, and
never looked back.

His most notable projects include the 2012 London Olympics Athletes Village, Heathrow Terminal 3, and the Royal Opera House.

What makes him different isn't just technical ability. It's that he knows how steel gets made, how it goes together on
site, and where things go wrong when the design doesn't
account for reality.

Structural Steel

Where the big problems get solved

Complex structural steel design from engineer's specifications through to full fabrication drawing packs. These are the projects where precision at the design stage determines whether a build succeeds or fails — and where Lewis' fabrication-first approach makes the difference.

Metalworks

The detail that defines the finish

Metalworks design sits at the intersection of engineering and craft. From decorative panels to feature installations, these projects require a designer who understands how metal behaves in fabrication, not just how it looks on a drawing.

Balustrades

Designed to fit

Balustrade design sounds straightforward until it isn't. Tolerances, interfaces, site conditions — the details matter enormously. Every balustrade package here was designed with fabrication and installation in mind from the start.

Secondary Structure

The steel nobody sees

Walkways, platforms, support structures, access systems — secondary steelwork is rarely glamorous but it's always critical. These projects demonstrate the kind of methodical, fabrication-aware design that keeps programmes on track.

Staircases

Structural, functional, and built to last

From industrial access stairs to feature stair cores within major residential developments, staircase design demands a thorough understanding of both structural requirements and fabrication sequencing. These projects deliver on both.

 

Temporary Works

Designed to do its job Then get out of the way

Temporary works require the same rigour as permanent structures — sometimes more. These projects reflect Lewis' ability to design under constraint, to tight programmes, where getting it right first time isn't optional.
