Typical work
The steel we cut, drill and deliver every week through APG Beam — and you can price most of it straight from the Beam Shop.
Take out a load-bearing wall and open up the ground floor. We size the beam from your engineer's calcs, cut it to length and deliver it ready to sit on padstones.
Two columns and a beam carry the back of the house where a full-width extension opens up. Supplied in bolt-together pieces, so they go through the house.
New floor beams span between the party walls to carry the loft floor and dormer — so nothing leans on the old ceiling joists below.
Posts where a wall can't take the load, fixed down through drilled baseplates. Steel bearing plates spread the load where a padstone won't fit.
Wide openings with a plate welded under the beam to carry the outer brick skin — for bays, shopfronts and big bi-fold openings.
Long beams split into lengths you can actually carry in, then bolted back together on site. Every hole is CNC-drilled, so it lines up first time.
Choose your scale
The same workshop, the same 3D models, the same people — set up two ways. Pick the one that matches the size of your job.
Everyday steel
One beam or a dozen. On site in days, not weeks.
The steel that keeps a build moving — knock-throughs, extensions, loft conversions and shopfronts. Send us the drawings; we model every piece, make it and deliver it labelled, primed and ready to lift into place.
APG Beam Your structural engineer's drawings and calcs, or a sketch and a photo. We'll tell you straight away what it needs.
Every beam and connection is built in 3D and checked. You sign off a clear drawing before any steel is cut.
CNC cutting and drilling, certified welding, then primed or painted to spec in our own workshop.
Delivered in a slot you can plan labour around, and lifted into position by our 100 ft Hiab.
Right first time
Every piece is checked against the model before it leaves the workshop — no site bodges, no second deliveries.
Labelled to fit
Each member is marked to its exact position on your drawing, so your team knows where it goes the moment it lands.
On the day we say
A confirmed delivery slot means your crew and your hire kit are never standing around waiting for steel.
Major projects
Whole structures. One accountable team.
For contractors and developers building bigger — portal frames, warehouses, commercial frames, mezzanines and fire escapes. We survey, draw, fabricate and erect the complete frame as a single package, with one team answerable for all of it.
Typical work
APG Frame Bring us in at design stage. We value-engineer connections and member sizes to take cost and weight out of the frame.
A full BIM model is coordinated with the architect and services teams, and every clash is cleared before fabrication.
Steel is made in the order it goes up, so each delivery matches the crane's next lift — no laydown chaos on site.
Our own erection crews build the frame, then hand over with an as-built model and a complete quality file.
One name to call
A single project manager owns your frame from first estimate to final bolt — no passing between departments.
A programme you can see
Every piece is tracked against the model, and you get a weekly report of what's designed, made, delivered and erected.
No surprises on site
Clashes, lifts and sequences are resolved in the model first, so site time is spent building — not problem-solving.
Behind both
A single lintel or a full warehouse frame — every job runs through the same 3D model, from first sketch to final bolt.
Every member, connection and bolt is modelled in 3D — one accurate digital source for the whole team to design and check against.
The steel model is checked against architectural and services drawings to catch clashes on screen, long before fabrication starts.
The model generates cutting, drilling and welding data straight for our workshop machinery — no manual re-drawing, no transcription errors.
Erection sequence and lifting plans are simulated in the model first, so crews arrive on site with a proven, safe plan of work.
Fewer errors on site
Clashes and design issues are caught on screen, not discovered mid-installation.
Faster fabrication
Model data feeds our cutting and drilling machinery directly, cutting manual drafting time.
Accurate costs
Automatic material take-offs and bills of materials keep quotes and budgets reliable.
Better collaboration
Architects, engineers and fabricators all work from the same live 3D model.
Safer installation
Lifting and sequencing plans are proven in simulation before crews reach site.
