How does it work? 

Our process is simple, structured and designed to give you clarity before fabrication begins. We provide realistic, experience-led guidance that brings certainty to your metalwork project before work starts on site.

1

Get Started

Once you submit your details above, our team will review your project and confirm the scope of the consultation. This initial stage is focused on understanding your current position, your timelines, and what level of certainty is required for your metalwork package. From here, we prepare the project for formal technical review.

2

We Build Your Plan

We begin assessing your metalwork scope using a practical design and engineering strategy built on real-world fabrication and site experience. This process is focused on building predictability into timelines, reducing the risk of rework, and ensuring the project is aligned with real manufacturing and installation constraints.

3

Portfolio Design

Once your scope is confirmed, we apply the BBSF Portfolio system to your project. This involves using tried-and-tested, structurally proven metalwork solutions to reduce time spent in design and engineering while keeping fabrication planning clear and predictable from the outset.

4

Final Review & Report

At the final stage, everything is brought together into a clear and practical summary report. This includes drawing reviews, BOQ options and key time-saving opportunities, providing greater cost certainty and helping to reduce risk before fabrication begins.

So, what's included?

You will receive a structured consulting service focused on clarity, control and certainty at the most critical stage of your project.

Frequently asked questions.

Here are some of the most common questions we receive and how the process works. If you don’t see your question below, feel free to get in touch and we’ll be happy to help.

  • What details do I need to provide to get started?

    Basic project details, drawings if available, and your current metalwork scope. You can upload files directly through the form.

  • Is the initial call free?

    Yes. The initial discussion is a no-obligation call to determine whether the consultation service is the right fit for your project.

  • Who is this service best suited for?

    Principal contractors, developers and project managers who require time and cost certainty for their metalwork packages.

  • At what stage of a project should I engage?

    Ideally before tender or early in the design stage, where the greatest cost and time savings can be achieved.

  • Will this replace my architect or engineer?

    No. BBSF Consulting works alongside your existing design team to provide a dedicated metalwork perspective.

  • What is the outcome of the consultation?

    You receive a structured summary report with scope clarity, BOQ options, drawing feedback and time-saving recommendations.

  • Do you offer fabrication or installation?

    Yes. While BBSF Consulting focuses on design, planning and risk reduction, fabrication and installation can also be provided as a separate stage of the project if required. This allows you to engage our team either at consultation level only, or through to full delivery.

  • How quickly can consultation be completed?

    Timeframes depend on project complexity and information provided, but most consultations are completed within a short, clearly defined period so you can move forward without unnecessary delays.
