Buying high quality RSJ Beams

RSJ beams are steel beams which are used in the construction of residential and commercial properties. These beams are exceptionally strong, durable and long lasting and are commonly used to support a second story and the roof. Due to the strength of these beams, they reduce the risk of the lower floors being compromised.

The benefits of these beams include their cost effective pricing and versatile design. At the same time, it is important to ensure you purchase a high quality RSJ beam for your project, ensuring that you get the highest quality, superior strength and long lasting product that you can rely on and trust for years to come.

The first step to buying good quality RSJ beams is to do some research online. You want to find a reputable company that can provide you with the right size beam you need based on your particular construction project. The best way to find a good supplier is to do a search online, looking for companies that will supply to your particular area and from there you can start narrowing down your search based on a number of other factors.

Ideally you want a minimum of three suppliers to start. This gives you a good number to work with, enabling you to review each company and then compare them against each other to find the best supplier based on your particular requirements.

The first thing to focus on with each of the RSJ beam suppliers you have chosen is their experience. You want to choose a company that can provide you with years of knowledge and experience in the structural steel industry. They should be able to make recommendations, offer advice and help you with the design, fabrication and installation of your beams, putting your mind at ease that you are working with the best of the best in the industry.

The next step is to go online and do a search for each of the companies in your chosen search engine. Here you are looking for past and current customer reviews. This will help you identify if the company is reliable and that they provide their customers with superior service and support. You can use independent review sites and online forums to find the honest reviews you can rely on. If you can't find anything, start your own thread on one of the building forums to identify if anyone else has had dealings with the suppliers you have chosen.

You will be amazed how you can narrow down your search using this simple step of the process. Some reviews will come back less favourable than others. With the final selection in your hand, you can start concentrating on price. Remember to always get your quotes in black and white. Ask the supplier to email you the quote, this way you can compare the products and services of each company against the other to help you narrow down your search even further.

Ensure you check with the supplier on their RSJ beam turnaround times. If they are handling the complete process from design to fabrication and installation, ensure their installation date meets your particular time frame. This is imperative, as you cannot continue the building work until the beams have been correctly installed. If you have a site manager, they will be responsible for co-ordinating the builders and RSJ beam suppliers to ensure a seamless project without any unwelcome delays.

Your final step of the process is to ensure the RSJ steel beam supplier you choose offers a guarantee on the product and the installation, providing you with peace of mind moving forward.
