How to Decide Between Steel Fabricators?

Once you’ve decided on the best type of structural steel you need for your next project, it can be

challenging to find the right company to fulfil your requests. Everyone has different expectations and

needs when ordering fabricated steel, but the following six factors should be relevant to most potential

customers.

Safety

Steel fabrication is a complicated process, and by extension, a somewhat dangerous one. Therefore,

qualified fabricators need to be fully trained in various techniques and methods, including cutting,

welding, and bending steel, to complete their orders effectively.

It may seem obvious that you’d want to choose a fabrication company that works safely. Still, it’s

especially vital to any occasions when the fabrication needs to be done on-site, as any risk to the public

or anyone else on-site must be minimised.

Design Capabilities

Detailed designs and plans are crucial to the success of a steel fabrication project. Due to the vast

amount of design potential that comes with the process, your chosen steel fabricator needs to plan and

collaborate with all involved parties successfully.

Resources and Equipment

The steel fabrication company you choose should be able to complete your request without needing you

to change any technical elements, as fabricators understand how to use a variety of different equipment

and resources to complete almost any fabrication task. Custom steel fabrications require various tasks to

be considered, including how and where materials will be stored, how to best prepare the final product for

delivery, and whether it’s worth looking into using new equipment to provide custom solutions for your

project.

Quality

Although the client’s aesthetic choices typically cover the steel created through the fabrication process,

fabricators must create and fulfil the order with the highest level of quality control. Fabricated steel often

supports the entire project and is therefore vital to the overall success of any construction work. It also

impacts the attractiveness of a project, and good steel fabrication ensures the result will be a stable

structure.

Experience

One of the easiest ways to see if a structural steel fabricator is the right one for you is to look at their

previous work and experience, seeing if you’re happy with the quality of their work and if they’ve

previously completed projects similar to your request. Although most steel fabrication companies work

across various industries, a high level of experience in a particular area will hugely benefit your project,

helping you avoid any common mistakes that a less experienced fabricator wouldn’t consider.
