How to Request On-Site Measurements for Custom Metalwork

t492-40

To request an on-site measurement before fabrication, send the metalwork team your project details, photos of the openings or structure, and the planned area and use. Once the request is confirmed, the team visits the site, takes the measurements, and prepares a drawing and written specification for your approval before production begins.

What to Prepare Before You Contact Us

Before you send a request, gather the basic information that helps us understand the job. A short, organized message saves time for both sides and speeds up the first response.

Project location and the floor or area involved
Photos of each opening, wall, or structure to be fitted
A rough sketch or existing architectural drawing if you have one
The type of metalwork you need, such as railings, gates, pergolas, or partitions
Your timeline and whether the site is occupied during works

Clear photos taken straight on and from a few steps back are especially useful at this stage.

How to Send the Measurement Request

Send your request to Techno Kol Uzi with the information above. Our team reviews the photos and project notes, then confirms whether an on-site visit is needed. For most custom architectural metalwork, a visit is the most reliable way to capture exact dimensions, levels, and fixing conditions.

Please include a contact person who can give access to the site and answer questions during the visit.

What Happens During the On-Site Visit

During the visit, our technician measures each opening, checks the wall or floor condition, and notes how the metalwork will be fixed. Measurements are taken at several points, because real buildings are rarely perfectly square or level.

Opening widths and heights at top, middle, and bottom
Depth of reveals and wall thickness
Floor and slab levels where relevant
Anchor points, substrate type, and any obstacles

Photos are taken during the visit to support the drawings.

From Measurements to Drawings and Approval

After the visit, we prepare a drawing and a written specification based on the measured dimensions. These documents show the profile, dimensions, fixing method, and finish. You review them and confirm or request changes.

Production starts only after your written approval. This step protects the project because the fabricated piece is built to the verified site conditions, not to estimates.

Why Verified Measurements Matter for Retrofits

In retrofit projects, existing walls, older openings, and previous finishes often differ from the original plans. Measuring on site reduces the risk of parts that do not fit during installation, which can cause delays and extra adjustments.

For railings and guardrails, exact values should always be checked with the engineer against the applicable Israeli standard, SI 1142, for your specific project.

Next Steps After Approval

Once the drawings are approved, the metalwork moves into production in our Tel Aviv factory at 37 Rival Street. Finishing options such as hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating are applied before installation. We coordinate with your site schedule so the installation follows smoothly after delivery.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be present during the on-site measurement?

It is helpful but not always required. Someone who knows the site and can provide access should be available. They can also answer questions about existing conditions.

Can I send photos instead of having a site visit?

Photos are useful for a first assessment, but for custom architectural metalwork a site visit is usually recommended. It captures exact dimensions and fixing conditions that photos cannot show.

Are the drawings final once I receive them?

No. You review the drawings and written specification, and you can request changes. Production begins only after you give written approval.

Who should check railing dimensions against standards?

The project engineer should confirm the values against the applicable standard, including SI 1142 for railings. Our team can provide the measured data and drawings to support that review.

Common mistakes to avoid

Sending only a single photo or waiting until walls are finished before measuring can lead to misfits. Measure before final finishes are applied whenever possible.

Our recommendation

Measure on site before finalizing any drawings, and have the existing structure checked for levels and plumb in retrofit work. Confirming real conditions early avoids costly adjustments during installation.

Summary

Send your photos and project details, schedule an on-site measurement, and approve the drawings before production starts. This process gives you metalwork that fits the building as it actually is.
