How steel fabricators use SiteLens

Find frame work at planning stage

Commercial sheds, industrial units and mid-rise residential all hit the register months before the steel package goes out. SiteLens alerts you at validation so you can approach the main contractor or developer first.

Filter to the schemes that carry tonnage

Every application is classified by category, scale and estimated value. Set a minimum project size and your region so you see the warehouses, frames and structural schemes worth quoting, not the single-storey extensions.

Track the developers who build in steel

Follow the contractors and developers behind industrial and commercial schemes across 380+ councils. See their pipeline, their matched Companies House record and the public contracts they have recently won, so you can build the relationship before the enquiry lands on a compliance portal.

What you get from day one

Map-first search

Every application in your region, on one map. Filter by category, value band and proximity, or just type what you want in plain English and SiteLens builds the filter for you.

Classified for your trade

Works tags name the trades every scheme implies, with category, estimated value and a plain-English project brief. Know what it’s worth before you open it.

Daily email alerts

Set your criteria once. New matching applications arrive in your inbox each morning, each with its project brief and why it matched.

Who to contact

Each scheme shows the developer, agent and main contractor behind it, with their matched Companies House record. Pro adds the contact details published by the council or firm, plus nearby public contracts and awards, so you know who to approach and when.
