Kortex/Capability/Misc. metals

Beams, frames, platforms & miscellaneous metals

If it is steel and it is not holding the building up, it lands here, and it is usually the part holding up your schedule. One supplier for the whole package means one drawing set, one delivery and one crew.

One supplier for the whole steel package.

Miscellaneous metals is the line on a tender that gets split across three suppliers and arrives in the wrong order. Keeping it in one shop means the mezzanine, its stair, its guards, the bollards outside and the rooftop dunnage are drawn together, delivered together and installed by the same crew.

We price from your drawings or your list, and we will tell you where a standard section does the job of a custom one.

Questions we get asked.

Answered here, so they stop arriving by email.

Do mezzanines need a permit?

Most do. We provide the drawings and arrange the engineering review so your permit application has what it needs.

Can you supply grating and hatches only?

Yes. Cut-to-size grating, hatches and small items are available as supply only.

How fast can you do bollards?

Standard bollards are usually installed within a week or two of the order.
