    AI marketing built for UK steel fabricators

    Stop losing fabrication enquiries while you're in the workshop. The Keystone OS answers every call in 60 seconds, chases quotes, collects reviews, and manages your pipeline automatically.

    The UK structural steel fabrication market is worth over £3.5 billion, serving everything from residential RSJ beams to multi-storey commercial frames. Steel fabrication workshops are among the loudest working environments in construction — plasma cutters, grinders, and MIG welders create noise levels that make phone communication impossible. Fabrication quotes are often complex, involving detailed drawings, material weight calculations, and finish specifications, with project values ranging from £2,000 for a domestic beam to £100,000+ for commercial structures. The Keystone OS manages enquiries from architects, builders, and structural engineers while you fabricate, tracking each through a pipeline that mirrors the fabrication process from drawing approval through cutting, welding, galvanising, and delivery.

    Why AI Matters

    Why do UK steel fabricators need AI automation?

    Most steel fabricators still run on a notepad in the van, a WhatsApp group, and a memory that's already full. Here's what that quietly costs you every week.

    Calls missed in the workshop

    Grinding, welding, and plasma cutting are deafening. You miss every call while fabricating. Builders needing steelwork call whoever picks up.

    Complex quoting takes time

    Steel fabrication quotes need drawings, material weights, finish specifications, and delivery planning. Quote preparation eats evenings.

    Workshop work needs showcasing

    Your fabrication quality is outstanding, but without Google reviews and project photos, new customers can't find you.

    AI automation handles calls while you're fabricating, follows up on structural steel and bespoke metalwork quotes, and builds the reputation that wins builder and architect contracts.
