Wide, Open Spaces Built Fast Without Compromising Strength
A steel structure uses fabricated steel columns, beams and trusses as a building’s frame, allowing wide spans and fast construction. Laurent delivers steel structures across Egypt from structural design and calculations through shop drawings, fabrication management, erection, coatings and fire protection, to final inspection and handover, with one team responsible throughout.
Scope
Load analysis, member sizing and structural calculations for the frame, roof and supporting elements.
Fabrication and erection drawings with connection details, member schedules and a steel BOQ.
We manage and inspect fabrication so every component meets the specification before it leaves the shop.
Supervised on-site erection, alignment and bolting or welding of the steel frame.
Protective coatings, fire protection and insulated roofing and cladding systems specified for the building’s environment and use.
Quality inspection of members, connections and coatings before formal handover.
Process
Every stage ends with a defined output, so you always know what you're approving.
We confirm steel is the right solution for your use, site and budget.

FAQ
Steel structure cost typically depends on span, height, loads, the tonnage of steel required, cladding and insulation choices and current steel prices. A simple warehouse costs less per square meter than a multi-storey steel frame. Share your dimensions, use and location and we will prepare a structural concept and cost proposal.
Programme length typically depends on building size, design complexity, fabrication capacity and site readiness. Because steel is fabricated off-site while foundations are built, steel structures are usually faster than equivalent concrete frames. We set a programme covering design, fabrication and erection once the scope is defined.
Neither is better for every building. Steel suits wide spans, fast programmes, lighter foundations and buildings that may be extended, such as warehouses and halls. Reinforced concrete often suits multi-storey residential buildings. We compare both for your project on cost, programme and use before recommending one.
Our steel structure service includes structural design and calculations, shop drawings and connection details, fabrication management and inspection, on-site erection, protective coatings, fire protection and insulation systems, and final inspection and handover. We can also design the foundations and MEP systems for the same building.
Steel is protected from corrosion with coating systems selected for the site’s exposure, which matters especially near the coast. Fire protection is specified according to the building’s use and the fire rating required by Egyptian codes and relevant international standards, typically through intumescent coatings or protective boarding.
