Why Contractors Rely on Custom Fabrication Shops for Complex Builds

Contractors have their hands full working multiple projects, each with their own nuances and challenges. These highly-skilled individuals have a network of individuals and companies they rely on in order to complete their jobs in a timely manner. This includes custom fabrication shops for the most complex builds. S&R Sheet Metal has partnered with numerous contractors throughout our history and we understand their needs and requirements to get projects completed.

Read more below, which explains the unique relationship between both sides.

Custom Fabrication Shops Provide Superior Levels of Precision

With more readily available resources on hand, custom fabrication shops are able to deliver higher levels of precision and customization that contractors and their customers are looking for.

Thanks to the technology on hand, including enhanced design features, automated systems, and reliable supply chain management measures, fabricated metal parts can be built to tighter design specifications including: dimensions, tolerances, thickness, and geometries in the instance of complex shapes.

Easier Installation and Heightened Efficiency

One of the biggest weights off contractors’ shoulders is that, when partnering with custom fabrication shops, they receive parts that are ready for installation.

Parts arrive on location with pre-drilled holes, brackets, and fittings as needed. If the situation calls for it, fabrication shops can even perform the assembly themselves to keep up with the demand of a given job site as well as keep the project on time and moving forward.

With parts ready for assembly, this reduces labor costs for contractors and improves efficiency on location, getting their jobs completed faster.

Custom Fabrication Shops Offer Wider Material Selection and Better Durability

Backed by a more thorough understanding of both the contractor’s needs, site location, and ultimately, the main customer’s needs, workers in a fabrication shop can use all of the combined knowledge to find and use a wider range of materials to create parts for the job. More materials allows for the entire project to be created with the best materials available with considerations toward applications, environmental conditions, and of course, cost.

When the right materials are selected as contractors and custom fabrication shops work together, it allows for a more high quality final product and a more efficient process as well.

Specific Project Solutions and Expanded Capabilities

Contractors are limited in their capabilities as they have multiple operations to attend to while ensuring management needs are met. Some custom fabrication shops are able to perform additional services, including pre-assembly and procurement, which streamlines the entire project. With these services, projects are more likely to be completed on time.
