Steel Building FAQs

Tell us where the building will be located, what you will use it for, and its approximate length, width and height. Details of vehicle access, doors, insulation and your preferred level of installation support are also helpful. If you have drawings, photographs or a specification, send those too. You can still enquire if your plans are at an early stage.

Yes. We discuss dimensions, internal space, access and intended use before proposing a building. The suitable frame, layout and specification depend on the project and site requirements.

Planning requirements depend on the building’s location, size and use. Check your proposal with your local planning authority before committing to the project. If you already have planning drawings or a decision notice, share them when requesting a quote.

These terms describe different structural steel systems. The suitable option depends on factors such as span, height, loading and intended use. We can discuss the appropriate structure for your brief rather than assuming one system suits every project.

Yes. Insulated roof and wall systems can be considered where the intended use calls for a more controlled internal environment. Tell us whether the building will be occupied, heated or used to store temperature-sensitive items so the proposed specification reflects its purpose.

These features can be discussed as part of the building design. Give us the sizes of vehicles or machinery that need access, along with any daylight, security or operational requirements. The agreed openings and components will be set out in your quotation.

Supporting drawings depend on the agreed package. GA plans are generally provided to show the proposed building arrangement. Ask us which drawings and technical documents are included with your specific quotation.

We can discuss delivery for sites across the UK. The arrangements, site access and unloading responsibilities are confirmed for each project and location.

Yes. We can quote a supply-only building package for installation by your own team. Each kit is individually quoted, with its components and delivery arrangements clearly identified.

Installation support is available for suitable projects. We will identify exactly which elements of installation are included in the agreed scope, along with any work to be completed by others.

They are included only when agreed in your project scope. Groundworks, foundations and concrete slabs must be considered alongside the site conditions and proposed building. See our steel building groundworks page for more detail.

Yes. Depending on the project, we can discuss a wider package covering elements such as groundworks, installation, doors and internal works. Your quotation will specify what Falcon will provide or coordinate and what remains with other contractors.
