Custom Metal & Structural Fabrication
Sheet-metal parts, equipment enclosures, gratings, platforms, guards, frames, and welded assemblies manufactured to customer drawings and inspection plans.

How this manufacturing scope is defined
A fabrication package should establish load-bearing intent, material grade, cut and formed geometry, weld categories, joint preparation, dimensional datum, distortion limits, removable interfaces, surface finish, coating, lifting points, and transport constraints.
For welded frames, platforms, guards, hoppers, and enclosures, inspection should be proportional to function. The RFQ needs to distinguish safety-critical welds and interfaces from general workmanship so effort is concentrated where it matters.

Manufacturing scope
Processes and component families
Industrial Steel Gratings
Platforms, stair treads, trench covers, and access flooring in project-specified dimensions and finishes.
Sheet Metal & Enclosures
Cabinets, guards, chutes, hoppers, and formed parts for industrial equipment.
Heavy Welded Assemblies
Frames, bases, platforms, and equipment structures with documented fabrication requirements.
Technical definition
Fabrication package review
Coordinate drawings, weld requirements, inspection, coating, and logistics before material cutting begins.
| Review area | Manufacturing guidance | RFQ input |
|---|---|---|
| Drawing hierarchy | Identify assembly, detail, weld, machining, interface, and bill-of-material revisions. | Controlled drawing register and 3D model |
| Weld definition | Specify joint symbols, process restrictions, WPS/PQR, personnel qualification, NDT, and acceptance. | Welding standard and weld category schedule |
| Dimensional control | Establish base datums, interface tolerances, flatness, squareness, and distortion-management sequence. | Critical interface list and inspection method |
| Surface and logistics | Define blast standard, coating system, galvanizing, masking, lifting, split shipment, and site assembly. | Coating datasheet and transport envelope |
Production sequence
A controlled route from RFQ to release
- 01
Release the drawing set
Resolve revisions, BOM, materials, interfaces, weld categories, and open questions.
- 02
Cut, form, and fixture
Plan nesting, bends, machining stock, fixtures, tack sequence, and distortion control.
- 03
Weld and finish
Complete controlled welding, correction, machining, cleaning, and coating.
- 04
Trial fit and ship
Inspect interfaces, trial assemble where needed, mark, protect, and prepare transport.
Inspection and documentation
Release points to include in the order
- Q1Material identification against the bill of materials
- Q2Weld visual/NDT records by joint category
- Q3Datum-based dimensional and interface report
- Q4Coating preparation, dry-film thickness, marking, and packing

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I include in a custom metal & structural fabrication RFQ?+
Include the controlled drawing and revision, material grade, quantity, critical dimensions and tolerances, process or heat-treatment requirements, inspection and documentation scope, destination, and required delivery date.
Can you review an existing component sample?+
A suitable sample can support dimensional capture and process planning. The buyer should also provide operating context, required material, acceptance criteria, and any dimensions that cannot be reliably recovered from a worn part.
How are inspection and certification requirements handled?+
State every required certificate, test, NDT method, dimensional report, witness point, marking, and packing requirement in the RFQ. The quotation should identify what is included, what is optional, and any open assumptions.
