Metal and aluminium: define your needs before fabrication
A door, glazed unit, guardrail or steel structure is defined by more than width and height. Here is what to clarify before fabrication.
Function
Should it close an access, fit out a space, support equipment or provide protection? This description guides discussion without assuming the technical solution.
Installation environment
In an existing building, available dimensions, support condition and access matter. For a new project, coordination with drawings and other trades helps ensure that components designed separately fit together.
Dimensions
Dimensions supplied at the first discussion give an initial indication. They must be verified before fabrication that relies on their accuracy begins.
Finishes and specifications
Specify the preferred finishes and, depending on the work, your requirements for profiles, glazing and fittings.
What the proposal includes
Supply, fabrication, transport and installation: two proposals may seem comparable while covering different services.
At SOGECOM GROUP, these requests come under our Industry division, including steel construction, metal fabrication and aluminium joinery.
