Steel Frame Installation Service for Existing Sites

t489-49

A steel frame installation service covers the full path from on-site measurement to a finished, fitted steel frame in an existing building. Techno Kol Uzi manufactures custom steel frames in its Tel Aviv factory and supports contractors with measurement, drawings, finishing and installation.

What the Service Includes

Installing a steel frame in an existing building is more than bolting pieces into place. Our support starts with reading the site and ends with a frame that fits the opening, the structure and the finish you planned.

For contractors, the service typically covers:

On-site measurement of openings, levels and existing structure
Drawings and a written specification for approval
Fabrication in our factory at 37 Rival Street, Tel Aviv
Finishing such as hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating
Installation and fitting on site

Measuring Existing Sites Correctly

Existing walls are rarely perfectly square or level, so measurements taken from drawings alone often cause problems. We measure the actual opening on site, noting diagonals, floor levels and any irregularities that will affect the frame.

Photos and a short site visit before fabrication help catch conflicts with pipes, cables or adjacent finishes early, when changes are still inexpensive.

Design and Approval Before Production

Every frame is made to measure, so we prepare a drawing and a written specification before cutting any steel. The document shows dimensions, profile types, fixing points and the finish.

Contractors and architects review and approve the drawing. Once it is signed off, changes become more difficult, so we encourage a careful check of dimensions and fixing details at this stage.

Fabrication and Finishing in the Factory

Fabrication takes place in our workshop, where steel is cut, welded and checked before it leaves the factory. Working indoors allows better control of tolerances than working on a crowded site.

Finishing options include hot-dip galvanizing for outdoor exposure and powder coating for a chosen colour. We confirm the finish on the specification so there are no surprises on delivery.

Installation Support on Site

Installation requires coordination between the frame, the structure and the trades working around it. We support the fitting of frames in existing openings, including alignment, fixing and making sure the frame sits correctly before final sealing.

Check the opening against the approved drawing
Align and fix the frame to the structure
Confirm levels and clearances before finishing trades arrive

Safety and Structural Checks

A steel frame carries loads and must be fixed to a structure able to take them. Where a frame is part of a railing, guard or load-bearing element, the fixing and design should be checked by a qualified engineer.

For railings, the Israeli standard SI 1142 applies. Exact dimensional and load values should be confirmed with the engineer for your project rather than taken from general guidance.

Frequently asked questions

Do you install steel frames in existing buildings?

Yes, we support installation of custom steel frames in existing openings, starting with an on-site measurement. The frame is then fabricated in our Tel Aviv factory and fitted on site.

Do you measure the site before making the frame?

Yes. We measure the actual opening rather than relying only on drawings, because existing walls are often uneven. This reduces the risk of a frame that does not fit.

Can the frame be galvanized or powder coated?

Both finishes are available, depending on whether the frame is for outdoor exposure or a specific colour. The chosen finish is written into the specification before production.

Who checks the structural fixing of the frame?

Where the frame is structural or part of a railing or guard, the fixing and design should be verified by a qualified engineer. We work with your engineer to confirm the requirements for your project.

Common mistakes to avoid

The most common error is fabricating from drawings without measuring the real opening, which leads to frames that do not fit. Skipping the written approval step also causes costly changes later.

Our recommendation

Book an on-site measurement before design begins and have the drawing approved in writing by all parties, including the engineer, before fabrication starts.

Summary

A good steel frame installation service measures on site, approves drawings before production, and supports fitting on a real building. Techno Kol Uzi offers this from our Tel Aviv factory.
