I want I-beams

3 December 2012

I want to use timber I-beams on a project. What’s the best place to source them? My local supplier will only sell them if it can install them.

Answers

You shouldn’t have any difficulty sourcing I-beams, or I-joists, on a supply-only basis – all the main manufacturers have accredited suppliers in the building merchant industry that will take your floorplans and design the entire package of joists, metalwork, chipboard and so on. Current budget rates are around £17 to £20 per m² for supply only of the complete package.
