74 | MANUFACTURING XL Structural Steel T T Kelly Deeks Delivering with end to end service XL Structural is helping business leaders across the country to design and build new commercial and industrial buildings smarter, faster, and better, with its XL System that delivers the strength, durability, efficiency, and usability required for their next stage of commercial success. Over the past five years, XL Structural has significantly expanded its capabilities, bringing a unique offering to the market. This includes value-engineered structural steel solutions made possible through long-standing relationships with overseas steel mills, allowing the optimisation of both steel structures and pricing. With a dedicated in-house architectural and consenting team, and fabrication facilities in Timaru and the Waikato, XL Structural addresses common industry challenges by ensuring seamless collaboration between architects, consultants, and engineers. The integration of advanced 3D TEKLA software enables the team to create efficient, repeatable designs, streamlining processes and introducing cost-saving innovations. These efficiencies allow XL to not only deliver clarity and control, but also reduce the complexities of compliance across every part of the project. “Navigating the challenges of a new build – balancing compliance, budgeting, and design intricacies – can feel overwhelming,” says project consultant Vern Lawry. “XL Structural simplifies this process with an end-to-end service that begins at the early feasibility stage and continues through to project completion.” Every XL Structural building, be it a warehouse and distribution centre, a manufacturing hub, a workshop, an aircraft hangar, or an agricultural shed, is customised specifically to meet site and client requirements. “Our clients are building a heart for their operations and we’re here to support them every step of the way,” Vern says. “When building from scratch, they can design their new space according to their preferences. We can offer clear information and expert recommendations tailored to their needs, and quickly provide a cost-effective solution for bespoke commercial buildings, including special features like gantries, pre-cast concrete, unloading canopies and clear openings.” Importing raw steel directly from the steel mills affords XL Structural and its clients a number of benefits, including greater cost efficiencies and greater quality control, with XL Structural able to specify specific steel properties and have the full traceability of knowing where the steel is made. XL Structural’s proven design and pricing methodology gives clients the surety of knowing they will get the building they need, on time and on budget. Proactive planning and decision-making combined with a clear understanding of the key factors that affect the design and build time frame means XL Structural can move projects forward with speed. XL Structural offers a comprehensive, endto-end service, working closely with clients to break down their projects into detailed components. This approach allows the company to identify cost drivers, optimise solutions, and deliver more efficient, cost-effective outcomes tailored to each client’s needs.
