FREQUENTLY ASKED.
HONESTLY ANSWERED.

Because designing something you can't afford seems like a strange use of everybody's time.

Our Build ABC for XYZ approach starts with what you want to build and what you genuinely have available to spend.

We then work out the smartest route between the two.

Because a proper construction quotation isn't a number somebody should invent in five minutes.

Even a relatively straightforward building can require measurements, material quantities, labour calculations, supplier pricing and checking before a meaningful quotation exists.

We prefer to establish whether the project and budget belong in the same conversation first.

Because you asked for transparency.

We took you seriously.

Our target is a minimum 25% gross margin.

That's gross margin — not net company profit.

No.

Cheaper isn't the objective.

Smarter is.

Our job is to deliver the agreed result intelligently — not quietly reduce the specification to improve our margin.

Efficiency is our opportunity.

Cutting corners isn't.

If the agreed ABC hasn't changed and we've simply got our sums wrong?

That's our problem.

Then you've changed the ABC.

We may need to revisit the XYZ.

Fair is fair.

ABC is what you want us to build.

XYZ is what you genuinely have available to spend.

Give us both and we'll work out the smartest way to connect them.

No.

You don't necessarily need a finished design either.

Tell us what you want to build, where you want to build it, what matters most and the budget available.

We'll tell you what we need next.

Not necessarily to start the conversation.

The documentation eventually required depends on the type, size, location and nature of the project.

If you already have drawings, send them.

If you don't, show us what you're trying to achieve.

Because paperwork should protect the project — not become the project.

We document the things that genuinely matter: scope, specifications, payments, responsibilities and legitimate changes.

Everything else should help us build, not slow us down.

Our approach.

Start with the project.

Start with the real budget.

Be transparent about both.

Design intelligently around them.

Agree what matters.

Then get on with building.

Yes.

Steel-frame workshops and small steel buildings are an important part of our construction work.

We are also developing our standard 6 × 3 metre steel building frame as a configurable product.

We undertake steel-building and warehouse-related construction where the project falls within our capabilities and commercial model.

Send us the intended use, approximate dimensions, location and budget and we'll tell you whether it's a project we should discuss.

Yes, where the project fits our capabilities, resources and Build ABC for XYZ model.

Send us the brief and budget first.

Yes, where the project is suitable for our team and commercial model.

Existing buildings often contain unknowns, so understanding the site and priorities early is particularly important.

Potentially.

ABC doesn't have to come from a catalogue.

Show us what you're trying to create.

A 6 metre × 3 metre steel building frame giving approximately 18m² of footprint.

The frame is the starting point.

Depending on the agreed specification, it can form the basis of different small-building configurations.

Depending on specification, planning, site conditions and intended use, possibilities may include:

• Workshop
• Garden building
• Office
• Studio
• Storage/work space
• Small commercial space
• Garage-type use
• Custom project

Yes.

Frame-only is intended to be the base configuration.

Additional options may include exterior finishes, roofing, doors, windows, insulation, electrical work, slab/foundation work, delivery and installation depending on the project.

Options under consideration include:

• Metal sheet
• Block/AAC
• Cement board
• Corrugated/tin sheet
• Aluminium
• Custom combinations

Final availability depends on the agreed project specification.

Pricing will be published once the final standard specification and selling price are confirmed.

We won't invent a price simply to get a click.

The right outcome.

A cheap number isn't cheap if the building doesn't do what you needed it to do.

Because apparently identical buildings may differ in structure, materials, dimensions, foundations, roofing, finishes, labour assumptions, inclusions, exclusions and risk.

Compare what is actually being supplied — not just the number at the bottom.

Yes.

Changes to scope, specification, quantities, site conditions or customer requirements can legitimately change cost.

Our distinction is simple:

If you change the ABC, we may need to revisit the XYZ.

If we simply get our sums wrong, that's our problem.

Trying to hide the budget.

A realistic budget isn't ammunition for us to increase the price.

It's one of the fundamental design constraints.

Knowing it early lets us tell you what's genuinely possible.

No.

If the budget, scope, timeline or project isn't right for us, we'll tell you.

We'd rather decline a project honestly than accept one we don't believe we can deliver properly.

That's exactly the conversation we want to have.

Tell us your ABC.

Tell us your XYZ.

We'll look at whether the two can work together.

Ideally:

• What you want to build
• Approximate dimensions
• Location
• Intended use
• Must-have features
• Photographs of the site
• Any drawings or sketches you already have
• Your genuine available budget

That's enough to start.
