Contract Assembly, Trial Fitting & Export Packaging

Shipping knocked-down saves container space - until the end customer's fitter discovers a hole 3mm off, a missing hardware bag, or a sub-assembly that was never designed to be assembled by someone who isn't you. Field assembly problems are expensive in a way factory problems are not: they burn your customer's hours, on their site, at their labor rate, and they come back to you as a warranty claim or a lost reorder.

We trial-fit and pre-assemble units before packing, with jigs that hold hole alignment across batches, and we kit every shipment so the hardware matches the BOM bag-for-bag. Our shipped units carry a 94% first-time fit rate - the number that matters to a buyer who has already paid for one field correction and doesn't want to pay for another.

Assembly Capabilities

Item Specification
Pre-assembly & trial fit All units test-fitted before packing
Fixturing Jigs hold hole alignment across production batches
Kitting Labeled sub-assemblies, BOM-matched hardware bags
Packaging Steel-frame crates, anti-corrosion, container loading plan
Documentation Trial-fit photos, packing list, loading photos
Track record 94% first-time fit rate on shipped units

What Trial Fitting Actually Catches

A trial fit on our floor catches the three failures that otherwise travel 8,000 km to your customer: weld distortion that makes bolt holes disagree, missing or mismatched hardware, and assembly sequences that assume tools or access your fitter won't have. We correct all three here - where steel is cheap to adjust - not on site, where your customer's schedule is the thing being adjusted.

Assembly Options

Full pre-assembly: complete assembly tested, then partially disassembled for transport - faster field install, no surprises.

Sub-assembly + kitting: major sub-units assembled and labeled, hardware bagged per BOM, matched to a written install sequence.

Knocked-down with trial fit record: flat-pack with a photo record of the trial fit, so your fitter sees exactly how it goes together.

Loose parts with documentation: for high-volume fastener/component lines, with packing matched to your receiving process.

Why Buyers Choose Us for Assembly

Field corrections cost your customer's time, not ours. With a 94% first-time fit rate, 80+ Australian projects and a trial-fit record for every shipped unit, our assembly service exists to make your install the most boring, uneventful part of the project.

Quality Control on Assemblies

Every unit is trial-fitted with its own hardware set, photographed, and signed off before packing. Crates are built to withstand stacking and sea transport, with anti-corrosion protection matched to the route. A packing list and loading photos go with every container.

How an Order Moves Through Our Shop

Send the drawing set and install plan → we propose the assembly level (full, sub-assembly or knocked-down) within 24 hours → fabrication and coating complete → trial fit with the actual hardware set → photographed and signed off → kitted, crated and loaded with a packing list and loading photos. Your customer receives a unit that was already proven to go together - before it left our floor.

Assembly FAQ

Q: Do you assemble fence and barrier systems?
A: Yes - perimeter and HDG barrier systems are a core line, trial-fitted and kitted with matching hardware before export.

Q: Can you assemble agricultural machinery sub-units?
A: Yes - frames, augers and structural sub-units are pre-assembled and fitted before shipping.

Q: How do I avoid missing parts on site?
A: Every bag is BOM-matched and labeled; the packing list references the drawing set so nothing arrives unaccounted for.

Q: What does trial fitting cost?
A: It is built into the assembly step - a fraction of the cost of one field correction, and it is the reason our first-time fit rate holds at 94%.

Q: What is the lead time for assembled orders?
A: Assembly adds 2–5 days to a fabrication order depending on unit size and quantity.
