Project Overview

Love Metal Fabrication partnered with a builder working at 5 Lustrells Crescent, Saltdean, Brighton (BN2 8AR), to supply precision-engineered structural steel components. The aim was to support a fast-moving construction schedule with reliable steelwork delivered on time and ready for immediate installation.

The scope included:

The project was successfully completed within three days, avoiding any disruption to the client’s build programme.

Challenges

The client needed accurately fabricated structural steel, delivered rapidly to keep pace with their tight construction timeline. Key challenges included:

Strict deadlines

Any delays in steel delivery would halt on-site progress.

Precision requirements

Fabricated elements needed to match structural layouts exactly, preventing on-site rework.

Seamless logistics

Delivery had to be synchronised with site readiness to streamline installation.

Failure to address these would have led to costly delays and potential schedule overruns.

Solution and Execution

1. Design and Engineering

Our team used client-supplied structural drawings, ensuring that all connection details, bolt holes, and structural tolerances were precisely fabricated. Each component was fully labelled for clear identification and efficient on-site assembly.

2. Fabrication Process

We fabricated the components using mild structural steel, selected for its strength and reliability. A red oxide primer was applied as an initial protective measure before any final on-site treatment or painting.

3. Delivery and Logistics

Components were delivered just-in-time, arriving on site fully prepared and ready for immediate erection. The efficient logistics plan minimised storage needs and supported uninterrupted on-site operations.

Results and Benefits

Rapid turnaround – Fabrication and delivery completed in three days.
Seamless fit – Accurate fabrication eliminated on-site modifications.
Protected steelwork – Red oxide primer enhanced initial durability.
Client satisfaction – Praised for speed, accuracy, and straightforward installation.
