FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
01 // How quickly can I get a structural steel or RSJ beam quote in Edinburgh?+
We offer a rapid-response 24-hour turnaround on standard structural drawings and architectural schematics. Submit your PDF plans through our Data Input Terminal for a granular material take-off and fixed-price estimate.
02 // What is EXC2 CE-marked (UKCA) steel fabrication?+
Under BS EN 1090, Execution Class 2 (EXC2) is the legal requirement for structural steelwork in building structures in the UK. This certifies that all fabrication, welding processes, and material traceability have been independently audited and comply with building control regulations.
03 // Do you provide structural steel erection and site fitting services?+
Yes. Forge & Frame operates fully equipped, CSCS-accredited site erection crews across Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Central Scotland. We handle the entire engineering lifecycle, including structural propping, crane logistics, lifting, and final assembly.
04 // What structural steel do you hold in stock for immediate dispatch?+
We hold a vast inventory of pre-fabricated standard sections at our Edinburgh hub, including Universal Beams (RSJs), Universal Columns (UCs), Parallel Flange Channels (PFCs), and hot-finished structural hollow sections (SHS/RHS) ready for rapid site dispatch.
05 // How do you handle delivery and site access constraints in Edinburgh?+
We specialize in tight-access logistics. Our fleet includes specialized crane-offload vehicles (HIABs), and our site fitting teams utilize compact, high-capacity material lifts to navigate historic Edinburgh basements and rear gardens without disrupting neighboring structures.
Bespoke steelwork,
fitted without delay.
Whether you are a homeowner crafting a light-filled glass extension, a self-builder erecting an architectural masterpiece, or a contractor with critical path dependencies—we deliver precision steel on time, every time.
