We are a family-run structural steel contractor working across the South West, from Bristol and Gloucester to Exeter and Plymouth. Our own employed teams design, fabricate and install every frame, so a single team stays accountable from the first drawing through to steel standing on your site.

"I've worked with UIS for several years on some high profile and very complex projects. Their attitude and work ethic are second to none - providing high quality services and products which are delivered safely and on time every time. Overall they are a pleasure to do business with and wouldn't hesitate recommending UIS for any steelwork or metalwork packages."
One team, from drawing to installed.
Steel for South West projects is designed and fabricated at our South Yorkshire workshop, then delivered and erected by our own installation crews. Because we do not subcontract the work, the people who detail your connections are the same people who see the frame raised. We produce around 100 tonnes each month and hold BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2, so your steel arrives certified and ready to sign off.

Yes. We design, fabricate to BS EN 1090, and install structural steelwork with our own directly employed teams, so one team owns the project from drawing to handover, and the aftercare that follows.
Every project is priced on its drawings, tonnage, finish and access. Send us a drawing or a one line brief and you will get a fixed quote, not a ballpark.
Standard programmes run 4 to 6 weeks from approved drawings to installed. Tighter programmes are quoted against your deadline.
