Steel Erectors
Auckland wide · Steel erection & rigging

Steel up.
Plumb, bolted,
signed off.

We erect and rig structural steel across Auckland. Portal frames, mezzanines, plant and platforms. Crews who turn up when the crane does, and leave the frame plumb, tightened and ready for the next trade.

What we put up

Commercial · Industrial · Civil
01

Structural steel erection

Portal frames, columns and beams, bracing and purlins. Set out, craned in, plumbed and bolted up to the engineer's drawings.

02

Rigging & machine moves

Plant, tanks, generators and production lines rigged, shifted and set down on the pad. Tight access and live sites included.

03

Lift planning

Lift plans, load charts, rigging gear selection and exclusion zones worked out before the crane books in, not on the day.

04

Mezzanines & platforms

Racking mezzanines, access platforms, walkways and stairs installed inside working warehouses with the doors still open.

05

Alterations & strengthening

Openings cut and framed, members added, connections upgraded. Temporary propping and staged work around an operating building.

06

Dismantle & removal

Steel taken down in reverse sequence, cut, bundled and carted off. Salvage kept for reuse where it is worth keeping.

Every frame starts as a drawing and a weather forecast.

The difference is whether someone worked out the sequence before the crane arrived.

How a job runs

Enquiry to handover

Drawings & site look

We read the shop drawings, walk the site and check access, ground conditions and what the crane can actually reach.

Method & lift plan

Erection sequence, crane position, rigging gear and exclusion zones written down and agreed with the main contractor.

Erect

Steel landed in sequence, temporary bracing in as we go, crew on harnesses and the ground kept clear under the load.

Plumb & bolt up

Frame lined, levelled and plumbed to tolerance, then bolts tensioned and marked off connection by connection.

Handover

Site cleared, gear off, and the paperwork handed over so the next trade and the engineer can both get on with it.

How we price it

Rates on request

Three ways we quote, depending on how much is known when you ask. Whichever way it goes, you get the number in writing before anyone climbs on anything.

Option 01

Fixed price

A lump sum against your drawings. We count the pieces, work out the crane time and the crew days, and give you one number for the erection.

Best when drawings are final
Option 02

Day works

Crew and gear charged by the day or half day. Suits variations, unknowns behind a wall, and jobs where the scope moves as it opens up.

Best when scope is unclear
Option 03

Schedule of rates

Agreed rates by tonne or by piece for repeat work, so each job off the same schedule gets priced the same way without a new quote each time.

Best for repeat clients

What moves the price

  • Tonnage and piece count, and how heavy the single heaviest lift is
  • Site access, hardstand, and where the crane can legally sit
  • Height, edge protection and the amount of work off an EWP
  • Programme, staging, and whether we are working around other trades
  • Night work, weekends, and shutdown windows
  • Distance from Auckland and whether the crew stays over

What a quote includes

  • Erection crew, rigging gear, hand tools and consumables
  • Erection sequence, method statement and lift plan
  • Plumbing, lining and bolt tensioning to the drawings
  • Site clean and removal of our own rubbish
  • Craneage quoted separately or carried, whichever you prefer
  • Steel supply, fabrication, paint and fire rating are not included

No figures published on purpose. Steel erection is priced job by job, and a rate on a website is a number someone will hold you to on the wrong job. Send the drawings and you get a real one.

What people say

Sample copy
They turned up with the sequence already worked out, so the crane never sat idle. That is the whole job, really.
Site foremanCommercial warehouse, East Tamaki
Frame went up in the window they said it would, and the bolt records came back without me having to chase anyone.
Project managerIndustrial build, South Auckland
We stayed open the whole time the mezzanine went in. They worked around our forklifts instead of shutting us down.

Common questions

The ones we get asked every week
Do you supply the steel as well, or just erect it?

Erection and rigging only. The steel comes from your fabricator and we put it up. If you have not appointed a fabricator yet we can tell you who we work well with, but the supply contract stays between you and them.

Do you provide the crane?

Either way. We can carry the craneage inside our price, or you book it directly and we work to your crane. Carrying it ourselves usually costs less in standing time, because the lift plan and the crane booking get made by the same people.

How far ahead do you need to be booked?

It depends on the size of the job and how the crane hire is sitting. Talk to us as soon as the steel is ordered rather than when it lands, because that is when the sequence can still be changed cheaply.

Can you work in an operating building?

Yes. Mezzanines, platforms and alterations regularly go in while the doors stay open. We stage the work, agree exclusion zones with your team and work around your forklifts rather than shutting you down.

How far out of Auckland will you travel?

Auckland wide as standard, and into Northland, Waikato and the Bay of Plenty for the right job. Travel and accommodation are priced separately and shown as their own line, not buried in the rate.

What do you need to give me a price?

Shop drawings or a marking plan, the site address, and roughly when you want it up. Tonnage and piece count if you have them. If drawings are not ready, describe the job and we will give you a range and tell you what would firm it up.

Safety is the schedule

Nothing lifts without a plan

A frame that goes up safely goes up fast. Every lift gets a plan, every crew member knows the sequence, and the exclusion zone goes out before the hook goes on.

We work to the drawings and to the New Zealand standards the engineer is signing against, and we keep the records that prove it. If something on site does not match the plan, work stops and we sort it out with the contractor before it goes any higher.
