Technical Documentation You Can Rely On
A steel building is only as good as the records behind it. We deliver a complete, organised document set, from the design basis to mill certificates and inspection records, for your engineer, your authorities, your insurer and the people who will maintain the building in Guyana.

- One document set for your building records
Design codes and certificates as listed in World Steel's company profile; the code for each project is agreed with its engineer of record.
Why it matters
Documents that answer questions before they are asked
Your engineer of record needs the design basis and calculations. Your local authority may ask for drawings. Your customs broker needs packing lists. Your maintenance team needs the coating specification. Your insurer may want to know who made the steel and how it was inspected.
We prepare all of this as one organised set, in English, delivered with the project and kept on file.
Who uses the documentation
- Your engineer of record and architect
- Local authorities and approval bodies
- Customs brokers and logistics providers
- Erection contractor and site supervisor
- Facility managers and insurers

FAQ
Questions about technical documentation
Straight answers on scope, design codes, shipping and what happens in Guyana.
Ask an engineerAre calculations always included?
Calculations are provided where design is part of our scope. If your engineer of record designs the building, we provide the documents that support their design.
Will I receive mill certificates?
Yes. Mill certificates are part of the quality dossier, and EN 10204 3.1 certificates are available per project.
In what language are documents issued?
In English.
How long do you keep project records?
Project records are kept under our ISO 9001 document control, so you can ask for copies later.
