We simultaneously design and erect proprietary cold rolled cladding support systems. We can additionally provide an effective collaborative supply chain for: Factory applied structural steel coatings Metal Decking Pre-cast concrete floor planks, stairs and landings Estimating & Planning We offer early procurement and costing advice on all aspects of project development. Using our vast project experience, we manage client risk and develop an optimum project design, delivering transparency, and competitive pricing. This ensures cost and design are fully developed at an early stage, while actively managing procurement, design and construction planning. Whether you are planning a project design or looking to market-test project viability, our Estimating department can provide rates, budget costing and client bills to full estimating service. You can contact the Estimating department directly at estimating@jdpierce.co.uk Design & Drawing Our Drawing Office experts offer a full design and build service, embracing value engineering, cost planning and material procurement to optimise design and reduce client costs. Our 28,000 sq. ft offices, adjacent to our 300,000 sq. ft production facilities, enable us to work collaboratively and efficiently from project inception to project delivery. Our Drawing office benefits from integrated design and BIM (Building Information Modelling) systems, including the Tekla 3D modelling system, allowing us to provide a complete 3D model of any structure. Tekla further enables us to collaborate and share detailed information between the client, our procurement team, and production team throughout our phased manufacturing ‘just-in-time’ system. Our CAD stations are fully equipped with the latest AutoCAD Version. Individual component drawings are automatically produced from computer generated data and shared live with our procurement and CNC production teams. Value Engineering Our design operations are carried out in-house by Chartered Engineers under comprehensive PI insurance, offering clients high levels of experience and full protection. As well as providing a complete design service, J & D Pierce can also add value to existing designs. Our experienced input on contracts comes irrespective of time of initial engagement. This experience allows us to focus on solutions which will maintain performance cost effectively, mainting our high standard of quality. As well as steelwork, we provide solutions for various component parts of both structures and envelopes. This means our teams are optimally equipped to meet the challenges clients face at both interfacing and the interaction of different materials. The flow through design development with J & D Pierce continues to impress clients and stakeholders – this is down to the importance we place on both respective tolerances, and the end product. Our early design meetings will allow us to merge into the existing team, with the key being mutual respect and trust as we strive for the common goal. J & D Pierce are professional designers, yet also contractors, therefore knowing the minutiae involved to produce the end product within tolerance allows us to minimise cost and programme risk, and maximise quality. Manufacturing Operations Our manufacturing facilities span 300,000 sq. ft and allow for the manufacture of 1,000t of steelwork per week. We operate fully automated CNC cut and drill lines, robotic coping lines, plasma cutting, and drilling lines for plates and fittings. Fabrication operations are supported by MIG welding and fabrication stations. Heavy lifting is provided by thirteen linked overhead cranes. The business operates a just-in-time ‘pull’ system for stock inventory manufacturing to phased construction deliveries. Within the main production facility we use bar coding and RFI technology to monitor and control quality and supply. This allows us to track fabrication for our clients. 12345 Site photographer: James Thompson (UK Construction Photography) Painting & Shot-Blasting Our paintshop facilities span 48,000 sq. ft. Our team manage and control volume fabricated steelwork on a continuous flow system, delivering shot-blasted and painted products to our CE marking compliance standards. All products are then allocated to specific drying areas prior to transport to site. Large volumes of intumescent are easily handled and stored, along with other specialist paint systems. All operations here are quality controlled. Steel is prepared by either pre-blasting and/or priming, where large members are pre-constructed before final assembly. All members are blasted in our automatic blast facility which is capable of managing parts up to 2m high and 2.5m wide. 123456 Transport & Plant We deliver to sites and erect structural steelwork around the country using our own J & D Pierce fleet, equipment and plant.
