SSD—F-05Frequently asked questions

What information do you need to quote?

Answers from SSD — structural steel detailers in West Yorkshire, drawing for fabricators across the UK.

The short answer

Up-to-date drawings and calculations from the structural engineer and the architect, plus survey information if the new steel connects to an existing structure. Send what you have — if anything critical is missing, we will tell you. Quotes are free.

You get a free, fixed quote setting out the scope, deliverables and programme — with any information gaps pointed out at the start, not halfway through.

If you don't have full working drawings yet, we issue a request for information (RFI) listing what we need — floor levels, construction methods, connection forces and so on — so nothing is guessed. Large files can be sent through our Dropbox upload link.
