What Does Steel Fabrication Include?

Steel fabrication is the process of cutting, shaping, and assembling raw steel into the structural components that form a building's framework. At Floyd Steel Erectors Inc., this means producing the columns, beams, connections, and custom assemblies that go into the ground or rise above it. The work covers two primary categories: standard structural steel following engineered drawings for load-bearing frameworks, and custom steel fabrication accommodating unique architectural profiles, non-standard spans, or tenant-specific modifications. Both types may be required on the same project, and the team handles the full scope under one roof.



Projects served include office buildings, warehouses, commercial buildings, tenant build-outs, and existing building additions. The Chicago, IL, market demands fabricators who can keep pace with tight schedules, navigate city permit timelines, and deliver accurate components that meet design specs the first time.

How Does the Steel Fabrication Process Work?

The fabrication process moves through a defined sequence from initial drawings to finished components.


  1. Project review and material takeoff: The team evaluates engineering drawings, determines steel grades, and prepares a complete material list.
  2. Material procurement: Steel stock is sourced to meet specification requirements for the project scope.
  3. Shop fabrication: Structural members are cut, drilled, and fitted to dimensional tolerances using shop equipment suited to projects up to 250,000 square feet.
  4. Quality review: Finished components are checked against drawings before leaving the shop.
  5. Delivery and erection coordination: Fabricated steel can be coordinated with crane rental and erection services through the same company, keeping the supply chain simple.


Combining fabrication and crane services through a single provider reduces the coordination overhead that typically causes delays between the fabricator and erector on Chicago-area job sites.
