About Hi Lift Structural
” – Building Higher, Standing Stronger – “
We are a proud local business with over 40 years of experience in steel fabrication and construction. Since our founding, we have grown from a small workshop into a trusted partner for large-scale construction and infrastructure projects across the region and beyond.
Our journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to quality, precision, and integrity. For four decades, we have consistently delivered reliable and innovative steel solutions that meet the evolving needs of the construction industry. Our extensive experience allows us to handle a wide range of structural steel works — from customized components and frameworks to complex, large-scale builds.
Throughout the years, we have had the privilege of working with both national and international developers, contributing to significant projects in commercial, industrial, and public sectors. Whether it’s a high-rise building, a manufacturing facility, a transportation hub, or public infrastructure, our team is equipped with the skills, knowledge, and resources to support projects of any scale and complexity.
What sets us apart is our hands-on approach and strong collaboration with clients, engineers, architects, and contractors. We believe that clear communication, attention to detail, and a solution-driven mindset are key to successful outcomes. Every project we take on is treated with the same level of care and professionalism — no matter its size.
Our workshop is equipped with modern tools and technologies that allow us to maintain high production standards while optimizing efficiency. At the same time, we stay rooted in the traditional values that have carried us through the decades: hard work, honesty, and a passion for building structures that last.
As we look toward the future, we remain committed to innovation, sustainability, and continual improvement. We are proud of our legacy and excited to keep growing alongside our partners and clients, delivering strong foundations — in steel and in relationships — for generations to come.
Let us be your trusted partner in construction.
Who We Are
We’re A Team Dedicated To Making Your Dreams Come True
At the heart of our company is a commitment to quality construction, built on decades of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of steel fabrication and infrastructure. Leading our team is Brian Tomlins, our Construction Manager, who began his career over 40 years ago as a boilermaker. His journey through fabrication, small-scale construction, and crane operation for steel structural installation has laid a strong foundation for the work we do today.
Our General Manager, Tim Heaphy, brings a wealth of knowledge from more than 40 years of working with national and international companies in building products, structural components, and large-scale construction. His leadership ensures every project is handled with precision, professionalism, and strategic insight.
In the factory, our dedicated fabrication team expertly transforms detailed drawings into real-world structures. From welding and cutting to painting and preparing steel for installation, they manage the full cycle of fabrication with care and skill.
Onsite, our construction crew—typically a team of four—specializes in both internal steel structures for new builds and renovations, and external façade retention systems to support existing brickwork during refurbishments. We’re often involved from the very beginning of a project, collaborating closely with engineers and draftsmen to ensure seamless integration from planning through to completion.
