Engineering-led architectural metal
We thrive on getting in at the early design stage of a project — to budget, consult and problem-solve — so the metal that gets built is exactly what the architect envisioned.
From conception to done
Architectural Systems, Inc. is an architectural metal and custom fabrication company based in San Martin, California, serving architects, general contractors and developers throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley.
We thrive on getting in at the early design stage of projects — to budget, consult and problem-solve. Our combined architectural and structural engineering backgrounds allow us to come up with solutions that deliver exactly what the architect wants, at a cost the client is comfortable with.
We specialize in unique solutions that shorten the duration of scopes and reduce building costs without sacrificing the designer's intent. From feature cladding and blackened-steel interiors to railings, sunshades, gates and rooftop amenities, we've delivered architectural metal on commercial projects across the region — including Santa Clara Square, the Stadium Tech Center, 237 on Moffett, Junction Avenue and the CDK office.
Our Mission
To be the architectural metal partner design teams trust with their most demanding details — engineering practical solutions, protecting design intent, and delivering fabrication and installation that holds up under architectural scrutiny.
What guides our work
Engineering-Led Problem Solving
Combined architectural and structural engineering backgrounds let us solve constructability challenges early — protecting design intent while controlling cost.
Single-Source Fabrication
Cladding, ornamental and miscellaneous metals, railings, gates and landscape steel from one shop — fewer vendor handoffs, less schedule risk.
Design-Assist & Budgeting
We engage at the early design stage to budget, value-engineer and shop-detail — so what gets built is exactly what the architect intended.
Built for Architects & GCs
Shop drawings, BIM coordination and submittals tailored to commercial bid work and the realities of the jobsite.
Built for architects, GCs & developers
We solve problems, not just fabricate
Our combined architectural and structural engineering backgrounds mean we come to the table with solutions — resolving constructability before it becomes a field problem.
We protect the design
We find efficiencies that shorten schedule and reduce cost without sacrificing the designer’s intent. The finished work looks like the rendering.
We keep it under one roof
Cladding, metalwork, railings, gates and landscape steel from a single fabricator means fewer handoffs and one point of accountability.
We build for the people who build
Shop drawings, BIM coordination and submittals are tailored to the realities of commercial bid work and the jobsite.
