Metal fabrications change metal’s physical properties to create new shapes and sizes depending on the application. Different processes include cutting, welding, forming, casting, extrusion, stamping, machining, folding, forging, rolling, and shearing.
The appropriate method depends on the type of metal and the desired shape, size, and thickness. The process’s effectiveness and result quality heavily rely on your chosen fabricator, so you should examine different attributes at different companies.
Certifications
Look at the company’s paperwork to determine whether they have all the necessary certificates and permits. This shows they have complied with all local, federal, and state industry regulations and have acquired the minimum education and training requirements.
Equipment
Every fabricator has different capabilities depending on the equipment they have. Some invest in numerous machines for various applications, while others specialize in specific fabricating techniques.
Therefore, visit their website and determine their collection. It would also help to consider how outdated or updated their equipment is to determine the result’s quality and fabricating speed.
Experience
Consider how long the fabricating company has been in the business and how many clients they serve with needs like yours. You should also ask for a portfolio indicating their previous projects.
Reputation
What do previous clients have to say about the company? You can find testimonials, reviews, and complaints in numerous places, like Google, BBB, and Yelp. Pay extra attention to how they respond to negative feedback or solve complaints.
It also helps to ask for referrals from previous clients and notice how willing they are to provide them.
Price
Search for the average fabricating prices in your area, then ask for quotes from a few companies. Ensure the quotes are detailed with a breakdown of material and labor costs, then choose the ones within the average price and your budget.
