Key challenge

Supporting steel construction companies from specification to installation

Companies active in steel construction need more than product availability. Buyers, engineers and project teams need confidence in structural bolted connections, structural fasteners, traceability and documentation, including alignment with the Construction Products Regulation, CE marking requirements and relevant declarations of performance.

Fabory helps steel construction companies source the right components for compliant and efficient assembly, including SB bolt sets, HV fastening materials such as bolts, nuts and washers, anchoring systems, standard fasteners and threaded rod solutions. With technical support, product documentation and services such as threaded rod cut to length, we help simplify sourcing and support efficient project delivery.

Lower Your TCO with Smart Logistics

In steel construction, cost control is about more than unit price. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is driven by logistics, handling, availability and errors.

Lower total project cost, not just the unit price

In steel construction, cost control is about more than the item price. Availability, fewer deliveries, less rework and simpler purchasing all contribute to lower Total Cost of Ownership.

Fewer suppliers to manage
Fewer deliveries and less administration
Better availability for project continuity
Less waste with cut-to-length threaded rods
Fewer errors through correct product selection the first time

Fabory helps simplify supply and reduce operational complexity across structural fasteners, anchoring and supporting categories.

FAQ

Common questions about steel construction support

Find quick answers to common questions about standards, documentation, threaded rods and technical support.

What is the difference between EN 15048 and EN 14399?

EN 15048 applies to structural bolting assemblies without controlled preloading. EN 14399 applies to high-strength structural bolting assemblies designed for controlled preloading, typically where slip resistance is required.

When do I need ETA or DoP documentation?

ETA and DoP documentation are important where anchoring systems or other construction products require demonstrable performance and compliance for specification, project files, audits or handover.

Can threaded rods be supplied cut to length?

Yes. Fabory’s steel construction offer includes threaded rods in standard lengths and supports cut-to-length supply, helping reduce waste and speed up installation on site.

Can Fabory help with anchoring calculations?

Yes. Fabory supports anchoring applications with technical input and access to calculation support through the Fabory Anchor Calculator for structural use in concrete.

Can I request technical advice, documentation or project pricing?

Yes. Fabory supports customers with technical questions, documentation needs, availability queries and project pricing discussions related to steel construction applications.
