Quick project answers

How does Apollo handle a complete building project?

Apollo coordinates the agreed product-supply scope while structural design, installation and local statutory responsibilities remain clearly assigned to the appropriate project parties.
01

What types of buildings can Apollo review?

Apollo can review suitable sports halls, churches and worship buildings, schools, community and civic buildings, warehouses, commercial and industrial buildings, hangars, agricultural structures and selected custom large-span projects.

02

Are these standard catalogue buildings?

Not usually. The website defines the capability and RFP pathway. The actual structure is developed against the project's dimensions, use, loads, climate, destination standards, envelope and local engineering requirements.

03

Does Apollo manufacture or erect the building?

Apollo supplies building products and available manufacturer documentation only. The purchaser independently arranges and manages site erection, engineers, contractors, local sign-off and approvals. Apollo does not coordinate onsite construction.

04

Can Apollo work in cyclone, coastal or seismic regions?

Suitable projects can be reviewed for those environments, but capability is not assumed from a generic product page. Design criteria, corrosion protection and local requirements must be confirmed for each site and supported by the selected manufacturer and local engineering pathway.

05

What technical information may be required for a building project?

Depending on the job this can include structural calculations and design criteria, material and coating data, welding and fabrication quality records, applicable test or conformity documents, project drawings, packing information and clearly defined engineering / erection responsibilities. Requirements are confirmed against the selected building system and project.

06

How do I choose between ZABALERA, heavy steel, SARENTA and modular buildings?

Use the building purpose and delivery model first. ZABALERA is for permanent major large-span architectural structures; heavy-steel pathways suit commercial, industrial, warehouse and other engineered steel buildings; SARENTA covers selected lightweight clear-span structures; modular systems suit room-based repeatable buildings where factory completion and transportable modules are central. Apollo can route an early brief before a system is locked.

07

Can a building package include the envelope and related Apollo systems?

Potentially, yes. Depending on the project and selected pathway, the building brief can be coordinated with roof and wall envelope requirements plus relevant Apollo façades, glazing, openings, sports, seating, lighting, public-realm or other project systems. Exact supply boundaries are confirmed before quotation.

08

What usually changes the cost of a steel or large-span building?

Major cost drivers can include span, structural depth and steel quantity, building height, roof and wall build-up, openings, environmental loads, corrosion protection, architectural complexity, required documentation, freight, packing and the erection model. Apollo therefore prices against the actual project brief rather than publishing one generic building rate.

09

Can Apollo review a project before structural drawings are complete?

Yes. Concept-stage information is often enough to begin routing: project location, use, approximate dimensions, required clear span, height, openings, architectural intent, target programme and known environmental or code criteria. Detailed engineering follows only after the appropriate project pathway is identified.

10

What is the fastest way to start?

Send the country, building use, approximate length × width × height, clear span, openings, drawings if available, target programme and any known wind, cyclone, seismic or code requirements through the Building Proposal form.

Choose the right building pathway

The fastest route is to match the building type to the job it has to do.

A sports hall, warehouse, worship centre, modular accommodation project and lightweight event structure may all need a roof and walls, but they are not the same procurement problem. Use the project need to narrow the structural and delivery pathway before investing time in the wrong system.

WHY THIS HELPS

A stronger building brief reduces late structural and procurement changes.

Specifier evidence checklist

Confirm the exact Buildings & Large Structures project evidence before release.

Use this checklist to turn an early product choice into a project-ready brief. Only exact registered evidence should be relied on for specification, tender or order.

01

Application & use

Confirm: Intended users / buyers: schools-education · commercial-development. Confirm the actual application, operating intensity and project outcome.

Boundary: A product-category match is not a final suitability confirmation.

02

Site & environment

Confirm: Confirm the actual site, exposure, climate, drainage and destination conditions.

Boundary: Environmental performance claims must match the exact selected system and current evidence.

03

Configuration & dimensions

Confirm: Confirm configuration: customisable · project-configured, together with dimensions, quantities, interfaces and required options.

Boundary: Do not infer available sizes, spans, loads or options from representative imagery.

04

Materials, finishes & maintenance

Confirm: Review steel against finish, corrosion, cleaning, maintenance and replacement requirements.

Boundary: Material suitability can change with exposure, assemblies and maintenance conditions.

05

Technical evidence

Confirm: Request current configuration-specific technical information before specification, tender or order.

Boundary: CAD, shop drawings, structural calculations, certificates and testing are included only where they exist for the exact system and are expressly identified.

06

Drawings & submittals

Confirm: No controlled drawing record is currently centralised for this pathway. Request the exact drawing, fixing detail, shop-drawing scope or submittal information required for the project.

Boundary: A brochure, website diagram or representative image is not a fabrication, installation or engineering drawing.

07

Market & destination

Confirm: This product has an explicit Apollo market-priority record. Confirm destination-specific standards, climate, freight, documentation and local compliance separately.

Boundary: Market priority is not evidence of code compliance, certification, structural suitability or installation approval in that destination.

08

Tender & procurement wording

Confirm: State the exact product pathway, configuration, dimensions, material / finish, required evidence, supplied scope, exclusions, delivery point and local responsibilities in the project schedule.

Boundary: Do not turn representative website wording, unverified supplier claims or another configuration's test data into a project compliance clause.

09

Project interface & delivery

Confirm: Confirm destination, receiving point, unloading, local contractor, foundations / supports, services, installation responsibility and target programme.

Boundary: Freight, local works, engineering, commissioning and installation scope must be confirmed in the written quotation.

Apollo is supply-only unless the written project scope states otherwise. Local engineering, statutory approvals, site works and installation remain project-specific.

Review pathway

Project priorities

The building opportunity is broad, but the project inputs must stay specific.

01

Brief before model

The building use, geometry, destination and design criteria matter more than choosing a catalogue model too early.

02

Project-specific system

The structure and supply route are matched to the building use, geometry, destination and required technical support.

03

Project documentation

Structural, material, fabrication, coating and conformity information is confirmed for the selected system and live project before production.

04

Local engineering

Destination engineers and authorities remain essential for foundations, local-code review, fire, services, statutory approvals and sign-off.

05

Climate-led specification

Cyclone wind, seismic demand, coastal corrosion, tropical rain, heat and remote logistics can materially change the building package.

06

Export planning

Containerisation, member lengths, packing, port route, unloading, erection sequence and spares are considered before the order is frozen.

07

Supply-only clarity

Apollo coordinates the agreed supply relationship without becoming the site builder, installer or local engineer.

How Apollo fits

One building RFP becomes a coordinated manufacturing and supply pathway.

Every building remains project- and destination-specific. Final spans, structural design, coatings, conformity requirements and local compliance are confirmed for the selected system and site.

01
