Book a Safety Assessment for Your Steel Frame Project

What a Safety Assessment Covers

A safety assessment looks at the parts of a steel frame that carry weight and keep people protected. Our team checks the purpose of the structure, where it will be fixed, how it will be loaded and what it must resist, such as wind, people leaning on railings, or vehicles passing a gate.

• Intended use and expected loads
• Profile sizes, wall thickness and spacing
• Fixing points into the existing structure
• Corrosion protection and finish for the location

The assessment does not replace a structural engineer's calculations where they are required. It gives you a clear, practical review before anything is cut or welded.

When Homeowners Should Book One

Many renovations involve a steel frame that will be attached to an existing wall, balcony or floor. These are the moments when a review makes the most sense.

• Adding a pergola or canopy to a balcony or terrace
• Installing a steel stair or a new handrail
• Enlarging an opening and fitting a steel frame around it
• Building a gate or fence that will take strong wind or heavy use

If you are unsure whether your plan needs a review, describe it to us and we will tell you honestly what we recommend.

How to Prepare Before the Booking

A good assessment starts with good information. Gather a few photos of the area from several angles, and note what the frame must do: hold a load, separate spaces, or simply look good.

Measure roughly what you can, and write down the material of the existing wall or floor if you know it. Mention any railings or fixings already in place. The more clearly you describe the site, the faster we can prepare a useful first response.

Our Assessment Process

The process follows the same steps we use for every custom job. First we review your inquiry and photos. Then one of our team visits the site to take exact measurements and check the fixing surfaces.

After that we prepare a drawing and a written specification covering profiles, connections, fixings and finish. You review it and approve it before production starts. Nothing goes into the factory until you are happy with the plan.

Standards and Safety Checks

Railings in Israel are expected to meet the national railing standard, SI 1142. We keep this in mind when we design guards and handrails, but the exact dimensions and load values depend on your site and should be confirmed with your engineer.

We design with margin for real-life use, pay attention to edges and fixings, and recommend hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating where the frame will face weather, humidity or salt air. These choices protect the frame over time.

Booking Your Assessment

To book, send us your photos and a short description through the contact details on our site or by WhatsApp. We will confirm a suitable time for the site visit, usually after we have looked at your material.

• Send photos and a short project description
• Agree on a visit time
• Receive your drawing and specification
• Approve the plan before manufacture

Our factory at 37 Rival Street in Tel Aviv has been run by the same family since 1945, and we are happy to answer questions before you commit to anything.

Frequently asked questions

Do I always need a safety assessment for a steel frame?

Not every small job needs a formal review, but any frame that carries weight, guards a drop or attaches to an existing structure benefits from one. We will tell you honestly which category your project falls into.

Can you assess a frame from photos alone?

Photos help us prepare, but we normally need an on-site measurement to check fixings and exact dimensions. The photos let us plan the visit more effectively.

Does the assessment replace an engineer?

No. Where a structural engineer's calculation is required, we work alongside your engineer and provide the drawings and specification they need to check.

What happens after the assessment?

You receive a drawing and written specification to approve. Once you confirm, we move to production, then finishing such as galvanizing or powder coating, and finally installation.

Common mistakes to avoid

A common mistake is fixing a frame to a surface that was never checked for strength, such as an old balcony edge or a weak wall. Always confirm the fixing surface before the frame is ordered.

Our recommendation

Describe the exact use of the frame, including who will lean on it or what loads it must carry, and send clear photos of the fixing points. This single step makes the assessment faster and more accurate.

Summary

A steel frame safety assessment checks loads, fixings and finish before manufacture, giving you a clear plan to approve. Booking starts with photos and a short description.
