RBR Design Engineering

Questions, answered plainly

FAQ

The questions people ask first about how a job with RBR actually runs.

01

Do you handle design as well as fabrication?

Yes — parts are modelled and checked against their load case in-house before anything is cut, so design and fabrication run as one process rather than a handover between two firms.

02

What materials do you work with?

Structural and mild steel, and stainless steel for fittings that need corrosion resistance — bollards, bike stands, and similar site hardware. [Confirm full material list with RBR.]

03

Do you do one-off jobs or only larger contracts?

Both — from a single custom bracket to a full commercial fitout's steelwork. [Confirm minimum job size / typical project range with RBR.]

04

Can you install on-site, or is it fabrication only?

We deliver and install to the original spec, and sign off on-site once it's snagged. [Confirm install radius / regions covered with RBR.]

05

How long does a typical job take?

Depends on scope — a single bracket is days, a full commercial fitout is weeks. [Confirm typical turnaround ranges with RBR.]

06

Do you provide certification / QA sign-off?

Weld and dimensional QA are checked before a job leaves the shop. [Confirm which standards/certifications RBR fabricates against.]

07

What finishes do you offer?

Galvanizing, powder coat, or raw mill finish, matched to the environment the piece has to survive.

08

Where are you based, and where do you work?

Based in Washdyke, Timaru. [Confirm how far RBR travels for install work — Canterbury-wide, South Island-wide, etc.]
