About Lewis
With 26 years of specialist experience in steel fabrication design and draughting, I bring a proven track record of delivering complex, high-value projects across the UK steel construction industry.
Over the last two years alone, I have contributed directly to over £7.5 million in project value – providing clients with precision design, technical leadership, and the kind of specialist knowledge that only comes from decades at the sharp end of the industry.
I work with fabricators, contractors, structural engineers, and developers who need more than a draughtsman – they needed a trusted specialist who can solve problems, lead design processes, and deliver with confidence.
Structural Steel
Where the big problems get solved
Complex structural steel design from engineer’s specifications through to full fabrication drawing packs. These are the projects where precision at the design stage determines whether a build succeeds or fails — and where Lewis’ fabrication-first approach makes the difference.
Metalworks
The detail that defines the finish
Metalworks design sits at the intersection of engineering and craft. From decorative panels to feature installations, these projects require a designer who understands how metal behaves in fabrication, not just how it looks on a drawing.
Balustrades
Designed to fit
Balustrade design sounds straightforward until it isn’t. Tolerances, interfaces, site conditions — the details matter enormously. Every balustrade package here was designed with fabrication and installation in mind from the start.
Secondary Structure
The steel nobody sees
Walkways, platforms, support structures, access systems — secondary steelwork is rarely glamorous but it’s always critical. These projects demonstrate the kind of methodical, fabrication-aware design that keeps programmes on track.
Staircases
Structural, functional, and built to last
From industrial access stairs to feature stair cores within major residential developments, staircase design demands a thorough understanding of both structural requirements and fabrication sequencing. These projects deliver on both.
Temporary Works
Designed to do its job Then get out of the way
Temporary works require the same rigour as permanent structures — sometimes more. These projects reflect Lewis’ ability to design under constraint, to tight programmes, where getting it right first time isn’t optional.
£7.5 MILLION
Specialist fabrication design delivered across a live project portfolio over two years.
That’s what the right expertise in the right place actually looks like.
