Portal Framed Buildings

We design and construct portal framed buildings across Shetland—durable, functional structures built to suit the land, the load, and the long term. 

Ness Engineering specialises in the supply and construction of portal framed buildings across Shetland, delivering cost-effective, low-maintenance solutions for agricultural, industrial and commercial use. From steel-framed sheds and storage units to workshops, livestock shelters, and utility housings, our buildings are tailored to each site and purpose—designed to meet local conditions, regulatory standards, and practical needs.

We can manage the full build from foundations to finish, or work as part of a wider team. Our service includes site preparation, groundworks, steel erection, cladding, roofing, insulation, doors, internal fit-outs, drainage, and electrical/mechanical installations where required. Every frame is precision-engineered and installed with care, ensuring strength, longevity, and ease of maintenance.

Whether you need a machinery shed, an insulated unit for equipment, or a bespoke structure designed around your land and operation, we bring the experience and capability to deliver—on time, on budget, and built to last.
