FABRICATION & WELDING
Custom work, every time. That is the business and the problem.
Nothing a fab shop makes is off the rack, which is why off-the-rack software fits it so badly. We build fab shops systems for estimating from drawings, tracking jobs through the bays, and keeping the paperwork trail that structural work demands.
The way it works now
Estimating means takeoffs by hand from drawings, steel priced off this week's sheet, and labor guessed from experience that retires when your estimator does. Job status lives in a walk around the shop. Welder certs and WPS records sit in a binder, and drawing revisions arrive by email mid-fabrication with no system catching who is still cutting to rev B.
What custom looks like
Estimating with structured takeoffs and live material pricing, building a labor library per operation so the shop's knowledge outlives any one estimator.
Job tracking by bay and operation with drawing revision control: rev C lands and every affected traveler flags itself.
WPS, PQR, and welder continuity tracking with expirations watched, so an AWS or customer audit is a report, not a scramble.
Where agents fit
Steel price watch across your suppliers, flagging when a quote's material basis has moved enough to matter.
Job-photo documentation organized to the job and weldment automatically for QC and dispute protection.
Delivery and field-install coordination texts with GCs, so your shop schedule and their site schedule stop fighting.
