A face-brick build under a steel roof

From a cleared site to brickwork and a steel roof structure craned into place: the stages of a building job, in our own photographs.

A building job runs from clearing the ground to the roof going on. These photographs show each stage as our crews do it.

The photographs are from our own jobs and yard. They are grouped by stage of the work, not taken from one project.

  1. Stage 1 of 3

    Clearing the site

    Rubble is cleared and spoil loaded out before anything is built, with the working area taped off while the machines are on it.

    Brickwork

    The walls go up in face brick with the openings left for doors and windows, and the doors are hung once the brickwork is complete.

    The steel roof

    Steel trusses are lifted into place by crane truck and fixed at height on the finished brickwork, and the crew carries on at roof height from there.
