What is EXC2 UKCA structural steel fabrication compliance?
Answer Summary: Execution Class 2 (EXC2) is the legal standard required under BS EN 1090-2 for all load-bearing structural steelwork fabricated in the UK, including residential extensions and farm buildings. Forge & Frame is a fully audited, EXC2-certified workshop in Penicuik. We issue legal, fully traced UKCA declarations of performance with every steel column and rafter, ensuring complete building control compliance and insurable protection.
We mitigate structural risk through mill-direct procurement and fixed-price frameworks. Our commercial protocols ensure your project remains fiscally viable from tender to practical completion.
