Capabilities

What we bring to your project

From early design-assist to in-house fabrication, finishing and field installation — the capabilities that let us own the architectural metal scope end-to-end.

For Architects & GCs

A partner through every project phase

We're set up to support the design and construction team the way commercial work demands — with engineering, coordination and accountability built in.

Design-Assist

We engage at concept or DD to budget, value-engineer and solve constructability while the design can still flex.

Shop Drawings & BIM

Detailed, coordinated shop drawings and BIM models that integrate cleanly with the project’s other trades.

Estimating & Budgeting

Early, realistic budgets for the architectural metal scope — so there are no surprises at bid or buyout.

Submittals & Engineering

Connection design, submittals and engineering suited to commercial bid work and inspection.

Process

How a project moves through our shop

01

Design-Assist & Budget

We join at concept or DD to budget, problem-solve constructability, and value-engineer without sacrificing the designer’s intent.

02

Shop Drawings & Engineering

Detailed shop drawings, connection design and BIM coordination, submitted for architect and GC approval.

03

Fabrication

In-house cutting, forming, welding, laser-cut work and finishing — to architectural tolerances.

04

Finishing

Powder coat, anodize, paint, patina, blackened steel and specialty finishes coordinated to the spec.

05

Delivery & Field Installation

Sequenced delivery and professional installation, coordinated to the project schedule.
