47 years of
heavy lifting.
A family-owned contractor that still fabricates its own steel, employs its own erectors and answers its own tender desk. 340 people, two yards, one standard.
Our story
From two erectors and a borrowed crane.
Jim Corran started erecting other people's steel in Attercliffe in 1979 with one partner, a flatbed and a crane he borrowed on Fridays. By 1994 clients were asking him to take on the whole building — so he did, and Corran became a design & build contractor.
Today we design, fabricate and build industrial buildings up to 80,000 m². Our Teesside shop processes 9,000 t of steel a year, and every frame we erect is put up by our own crews. That control is why we can promise dates — and keep them.

01
Zero harm
Everyone goes home in the same condition they arrived. We stop a job before we hurt someone.
02
The date is a promise
We publish the programme on day one and report against it weekly — good news and bad.
03
Own the detail
If we drew it, we fabricate it. If we fabricate it, we erect it. No gaps to fall between.
