Let’s Discuss Your Project

 

Whether you are developing an architectural concept, refining façade details, or preparing a package for fabrication, early collaboration helps ensure the final result is buildable, efficient and delivered on programme.

At Gilmours we work with project teams across the UK to translate architectural intent into precisely fabricated metal systems and components.

If you have drawings, concepts or a package that requires fabrication input, our team is happy to review it and advise on the next steps.

Who we work with

We typically collaborate with:

Sharing concepts early allows us to explore fabrication approaches, material options and buildability so your design intent can be realised without unnecessary redesign later in the process.

We work with consultants across disciplines — including engineers, cost consultants, project managers and façade specialists — to support coordination, technical development and project delivery.

From refining interfaces, tolerances and detailing to advising on programme, cost and manufacturability, we help ensure proposals are practical, aligned and ready to move forward with confidence.

We support contractors and specialist subcontractors with dependable fabrication, clear communication and coordinated delivery aligned with site requirements and programme demands.

What information
helps us get started

You don’t need a fully developed technical package to begin a conversation. Many projects start with early information such as:

  • Concept sketches or design visuals
  • General arrangement drawings
  • Façade details or system proposals
  • Tender documentation
  • Performance requirements
  • Programme considerations

If you’re unsure whether your project is at the right stage, we’re always happy to review what you have.

Our approach

Every project is different, but the process typically follows four stages:

1. Initial review

We review the information provided and identify key considerations around fabrication, materials and programme.

2. Technical discussion

Where appropriate we discuss potential approaches, buildability considerations and any areas that may benefit from refinement.

3. Fabrication planning

Once scope is agreed, we coordinate fabrication requirements and manufacturing timelines.

4. Manufacturing and delivery

Our in-house manufacturing capability ensures consistent quality from initial fabrication through finishing, assembly and delivery.
