Qualified by China’s tier-1 contractors

Before a tier-1 contractor buys from a fabricator, its engineers audit the plant: qualifications, equipment, welding, material traceability, coating and delivery. We passed those audits, proved ourselves on trial batches, and have fabricated for them for more than eight years.

24 years in steel structures

Zhongwei Steel Structure (众维钢构) started in 2002 as a steel erection contractor. Eight years on building sites taught us what makes a building go up fast — and since 2010 we have fabricated with that in mind, in our own factory in Shenyang.

AAA corporate credit rating.

ZW-06 · What you can hold us to

Four things we put in writing

Before you commit anything — a deposit, a date, a promise to your own client.

01

Talk before drawings

You don’t need finished drawings to start. Dimensions and what the building is for are enough for a price range within 24 hours.

02

Drawings your engineer can seal

Our 15-person engineering team, led by a Grade-1 registered structural engineer, issues English calculations and drawings to American (ASCE 7) or European codes — sized for your site’s wind, snow and seismic loads, for your licensed engineer to review and seal.

03

A price that holds

Quotation valid 7 days. Once the deposit is received, the price is locked for 3 months. Steel moves. Your budget doesn’t have to.

04

Checked before it sails

Third-party inspection welcome before the goods leave the factory — your inspector, your checklist, our floor.

24h

Price range

Send drawings, a sketch, or just size, location and use.

3–5days

Scheme drawings

Layout, frame type and steel weight, with an itemized quotation — agreed before any deposit.

10–20days

Construction drawings

Full shop and erection drawings for fabrication.

15–60days

Production

From deposit to ex-works, depending on tonnage.

ZW-08 · FAQ

Buying steel structures from China: common questions

What steel structures does Zhongwei supply?

Steel structures for industrial, commercial and agricultural projects — warehouses and workshops, multi-storey frames, equipment structures and car showrooms. Light steel, heavy steel and space frames each run on their own line, and roof and wall cladding and floor decking can be supplied with the frame under the same contract.

Where is your factory, and which port do you ship from?

Our 50,000 m² factory is at 2 Zhenxing Road, Shenyang Coastal Economic Zone, Liaoning, China. Finished steel goes 350 km by road to Dalian Port. We quote EXW, FOB Dalian or CIF your port.

How long does a steel structure order take?

You get a price range within 24 hours. Scheme drawings with an itemized quotation take 3–5 days and are agreed before any deposit. Construction drawings take 10–20 days, and production takes 15–60 days from deposit to ex-works, depending on tonnage and complexity.

Which certificates do you hold?

An EN 1090-1 certificate for steel structural components, which EU rules require before structural steel can carry CE marking; EN ISO 3834-2 for welding quality (No. SC-PSC-3834-1103); and ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. Our welders hold EN ISO 9606-1 qualifications. You can look up the ISO certificates at www.cnca.gov.cn.

Can your engineers design to ASCE 7 or European codes?

Yes. Our 15-person engineering team, led by a Grade-1 registered structural engineer, issues English calculations and drawings to American (ASCE 7) or European codes, sized for your site’s wind, snow and seismic loads, for your licensed engineer to review and seal.

Can I send my own inspector to the factory?

Yes. We can issue an inspection and test plan (ITP) with four hold points and three witness points. Third-party inspection is welcome — SGS, Bureau Veritas, TÜV or your own inspector.

Which countries have you exported to?

Australia, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, Argentina, Spain and Germany.

How long is a quoted price valid?

Quotations are valid for 7 days. Once the deposit is received, the price is locked for 3 months.

Are you the same company as other “Zhongwei” companies in Shenyang?

No. Several companies in and around Shenyang use similar English names. We are Zhongwei Steel Structure (众维钢构); our manufacturing company is Shenyang Zhongwei Heavy Industry Steel Structure Engineering Co., Ltd. (沈阳众维重工钢结构工程有限公司), and our factory is at 2 Zhenxing Road, Shenyang Coastal Economic Zone. Our logo is the green-and-blue circle at the top of this page. If in doubt, message Simon on WhatsApp +852 9624 2075 before you share drawings or pay a deposit.
