Project Overview

Love Metal Fabrication supplied a range of structural steel components to support a new residential extension at 40 Greenland Road, Worthing, West Sussex (BN13 2RW). The project was commissioned by a private homeowner undertaking significant structural works to expand their living space.

The scope included:

Fabrication and supply of custom builder beams and base plates.
Use of laser-cut steel sections with predrilled holes for easy assembly.
Application of a galvanised finish to ensure corrosion resistance.
Timely coordination with the homeowner and builder to meet construction timelines.

The project was completed within five days, ensuring no delays to the broader construction schedule.

Challenges

The client needed accurate and quickly delivered structural steelwork to maintain the pace of their home extension. Their primary concerns included:

Alignment precision

The steel components had to integrate seamlessly with both the existing and new masonry.

Timely delivery

Delays in steel supply could stall construction and increase costs.

On-site efficiency

Components had to be easy to assemble without requiring modifications during installation.

Overcoming these challenges was essential to ensure smooth progression of the build.

Solution and Execution

1. Design and Engineering

We conducted site visits and collaborated directly with both the homeowner and their builder. All architectural plans and structural calculations were reviewed thoroughly, and dimensions were double-checked before fabrication. Custom elements were designed to suit the unique structural layout of the extension.

2. Fabrication Process

We fabricated the steelwork using mild steel, chosen for its strength and reliability. Each beam and plate was laser-cut and predrilled, making installation quick and error-free. A galvanised coating was applied to protect the steel from long-term exposure and moisture.

3. Delivery and Coordination

All components were delivered directly to site and integrated into the ongoing block and brickwork without issue. The homeowner and builder were able to proceed immediately with installation, aided by the quality and readiness of the steelwork.

Results and Benefits

Accurate fit – Steel elements matched project specs, eliminating delays.
Fast turnaround – Full delivery and project completion in five days.
