How long does RSJ design take in Birmingham?

What information do you need for a quote?
We ask for your project postcode, a short description of the work, clear photos and basic measurements of the wall or opening. Any architect plans or sketches you already have are helpful but not essential.
Can you design RSJs from photos only?
Many domestic projects can be designed from good quality photos, measurements and existing plans. Where the structure is complex or unclear we may suggest a site visit before finalising the calculations.
