STRUCTURAL STEEL DESIGN & FABRICATION

Design-Led Structural Steel

Our approach begins with design. We regularly support projects at early stages, helping to translate design intent and engineering requirements into well-resolved steelwork.

Our design and coordination capability includes:

• Structural steel design development in collaboration with engineers

• 3D modelling and detailing using Fusion 360

• Coordination of connections, tolerances and interfaces

• Rationalisation of steelwork for efficient fabrication and installation

By addressing these details early, we reduce risk on site and ensure the fabricated steel aligns precisely with the engineering strategy.

EN 1090 Structural Steel Fabrication

JEF Fabrications operates in accordance with EN 1090, the recognised standard governing the fabrication and welding of structural steel.

Our structural steel fabrication service is aligned with Execution Class 2 (EXC2) and includes:

• Fabrication to engineer’s drawings and specifications

• Welding carried out in accordance with approved Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS)

• Coded welding processes appropriate to structural applications

• Controlled fabrication procedures and quality checks

• Material traceability and documentation

This ensures steelwork is produced to a consistent, auditable standard suitable for load-bearing and safety-critical applications.

Engineering Collaboration

A key strength of JEF Fabrications is our ability to work seamlessly with structural engineers throughout the project lifecycle.

We regularly assist with:

• Reviewing structural calculations and design intent

• Clarifying connection requirements and load paths

• Resolving fabrication and installation methodology

• Providing technical feedback to support efficient engineering solutions

This collaborative approach supports smoother approvals, fewer site issues and steelwork that installs as intended.

Fabrication, Assembly & Delivery

Once design and engineering are resolved, we fabricate structural steelwork with a strong focus on accuracy, finish and programme.

Our fabrication service covers:

• Primary and secondary structural steelwork

• Beams, columns and frames

• Structural supports, cleats and connection assemblies

• Steelwork integrated with architectural elements

Where required, we coordinate delivery and site sequencing to suit the wider construction programme.
