Originally, metal fabrication was the process of copper being melted and processed to make various objects. While the basis of the process may not have changed over time, the materials used have changed greatly and the items able to be made have vastly grown. Copper made way to bronze for armor, coins, and other items, which gave way to cast iron, and then steel. Fabrication is the process of turning metal or steel into a shape that you desire. Structural fabrication is an integral part of building construction and steel fabrication is the process of turning raw steel into an item to be used during construction. Many types of steel are used in fabrication operations as well as structural operations.

The process of structural steel fabrication involves many different steps. Firstly, the creative stage. This stage can allow the fabricator to make any structural products you may need. Next is the blueprint which is where a drawing is created to determine requirements or code compliances. Once the decisions are made and parameters are set you can begin drilling steel beams, engraving, assembling components, machining, and assembling. There are many steps involved that can be very detailed in the process. Machining the parts creates custom parts for your project and is needed when the standard sizes or shapes of normal components may not be correct. In assembly, all of the required parts can be fitted and ensure everything is the proper size.

Steel is very cost-effective, especially when compared to other metals. It also provides substantial productivity throughout the supply chain by reducing costs. Steel has high endurance and is very durable making it a commonly used metal for projects like structural work. The process of structural steel fabrication uses various tools and ensures a final assembled structure that architects can use in their construction.
