Structural Steel Frame Construction

Structural Steel Frame Design & Build

When it comes to choosing a building material for your project, few come close to the strength and convenience of structural steel.

Structural steel is an exceptionally robust material with a high stress tolerance. Able to withstand heavy loads with ease, it has the added benefit of being relatively lightweight, which makes it easy to handle and transport.

Unlike concrete, construction can begin immediately when the sections are delivered on-site, helping you stay on schedule during short lead-time projects.

At Jade-Aden Services, we design and build high-quality structural steel frames for projects across the South.

Why choose steel frame for your commercial construction project?

Why choose steel frame for your commercial construction project?

Most modern business parks and industrial units are made up of a structural steel shell with cladding installed over the top. There are a number of reasons for this:

  • Strength: Steel is a strong and durable material that can withstand heavy loads and extreme weather conditions.
  • Speed of construction: Steel frames can be prefabricated off-site, reducing the time and cost of construction.
  • Design flexibility: Steel frames can be easily customised to fit any building design, allowing architects to create structures that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
  • Sustainability: Aside from its long lifespan, steel is fully recyclable. This means that steel frames have a lower environmental impact than other materials.
  • Cost-effectiveness: Steel frames are often more cost-effective than other building materials due to their durability, ease of construction, and low maintenance costs.

Why choose Jade-Aden for commercial steel frame construction?

Jade-Aden Services have been at the forefront of the structural steel and cladding sector since 1992. We’ve worked on thousands of projects both big and small over the last 30 years, from car dismantling facilities to office headquarters. Whatever project you’re working on, you can trust us to deliver the exceptional results you're looking for.

Our design team produces accurate structural steel drawings that guide fabrication and help the build process run smoothly. Plus, with decades of experience designing and installing structural steel frames, our team have seen and overcome every challenge you can imagine - and some you can’t!

Our portfolio of successful projects illustrates the high quality of our service - from design all the way through to completion, we take care of every eventuality.

Structural Steel Drawings

Structural Steel Drawings

Structural steel drawings are key documents. They outline how to make, assemble, and set up every steel part of a project. These essential plans are the backbone of safe, efficient, and compliant construction. They are particularly important for large commercial or industrial builds.

Why are structural steel drawings important?

They provide the precise technical instructions needed for fabricating and assembling steel structures. They decrease the risk of building errors, follow UK building codes, and help bring all project stakeholders together. By ensuring everyone follows the same standards, they avoid delays, lower waste, and achieve safer, faster results.

Here’s How They Benefit Your Project

  • Ensure Accurate Fabrication & Assembly: Structural steel drawings offer exact dimensions, materials, and tolerances for each steel component. This clarity reduces guesswork on-site, boosts build accuracy, and speeds up construction.
  • Reduce Construction Errors & Material Waste: Well-prepared drawings highlight issues early in the design phase, helping avoid costly rework. They also aid in improving material planning and stock control, which cuts down waste.
  • Improve Coordination Between Engineers, Fabricators, & Contractors: Drawings give teams a standard reference, helping them communicate clearly and avoid misunderstandings. They also ensure that each project phase—from fabrication to installation—progresses smoothly.
  • Support Compliance with UK Building Codes: These documents are critical to meeting UK safety and quality standards, including BS EN 1090. Clear structural drawings contribute directly to legal compliance and successful inspection outcomes.
  • Enable Better Project Scheduling & Planning: Drawings define everything upfront. They assist in forecasting lead times, organising construction activities, and reducing on-site disruption. Their existence is key to improving predictability and ensuring the project stays on schedule.

At Jade-Aden Services, we offer detailed structural steel drawings in our design-and-build process. We guarantee that your steel frame project is accurate, safe, and causes minimal disruption.

Structural Steel Frame Construction FAQs

What is structural steel frame construction?

Structural steel frame construction involves using steel beams and columns to create a framework for buildings and other structures.

Typically it is used for large commercial and industrial buildings because it is strong, durable and offers design flexibility. Read more in our detailed article here

What does your design and build service include?

We offer a comprehensive structural steel frame service which includes:

  • Initial consultation and project brief review

  • On-site installation and complete project management

Call us to learn more about our service on 01202 622252.

Can you help with planning and building regulations?

Yes, we can help you apply for planning permission. We are experts at this process so will help to make it a stress-free process.

We are also always working to Building Regulations, so you can be sure your steel frame will meet those standards.

Do you offer custom designs for unique projects?

Yes, all of our work is bespoke, so we will work with you to design a steel construction that meets your specific needs.

How can I read steel structural drawings?

To read steel structural drawings, you must know layout plans, section views, symbols, and fabrication notes. It’s an essential skill for anyone working on commercial steel builds. You can read our step-by-step guide here.
