Tell Us About Your Project (and the Outcome You Need)

Every site and structure is different, but great starts look the same: clear information and a responsive partner. Share a few details in the contact form—or call us—and we’ll shape the most direct path to a build-ready steel package.

Helpful details to include in your message:

• Project location and any access constraints (laneways, overhead lines, slopes)
• Current drawings (PDF/DWG/IFC) or sketches, plus design stage
• Target dates and critical milestones (foundation, framing, occupancy)
• Required finishes (shop primer, galvanizing, powder coat, intumescent)
• Any special considerations (tight sites, after-hours work, complex lifts)

Whether it’s a single-beam residential package in Oak Bay, a tenant improvement downtown, or a multi-bay frame in Langford, the more we know up front, the faster we can price, plan, and schedule. Check out our FAQs page for answers to many of our commonly asked questions.

What Happens After You Contact Us

1) Prompt response & clarity
We’ll review your note the same business day whenever possible. Expect a short discovery call to confirm scope, drawings, and timing so we can advise accurately.

2) Scope alignment & budget
We’ll map the steel scope (members, connections, finishes), flag constructability issues, and provide budget guidance or a formal estimate—your choice. If drawings are early, we’ll offer preconstruction input to help you avoid downstream redesigns.

3) Detailing & engineering coordination
We coordinate with your engineer and produce clean, buildable shop drawings. Our detailing approach focuses on standardized, efficient connections that shorten fabrication and speed erection.

4) Fabrication with QA
Your steel is fabricated in-house for quality and schedule control. We verify material, fit-up, weld procedures, and dimensions before anything leaves the shop.

5) Delivery, erection & alignment
We plan deliveries around your site constraints and crane windows. Our field crews manage rigging, bolting/welding, and final alignment to bring the frame plumb, square, and to spec—without surprises.

6) Handoff & documentation
You’ll receive the documentation your team needs: approved shop drawings/as-built updates, finish data, and any required weld maps. We leave the site tidy and the next trade unblocked.

Why Builders Choose Us in Victoria & Nanaimo

• Local expertise, island logistics: We understand the realities of building on Vancouver Island—tight urban sites, weather windows, ferry-sensitive supply chains, and neighborhood considerations. Our plans factor in all of it.
• Design-to-install accountability: From detailing and fabrication to erection, you have one accountable partner. Fewer handoffs mean fewer delays and cleaner communication.
• Schedule integrity: We lock materials early, coordinate inspections, and sequence work to maintain momentum. You get look-ahead updates, not last-minute surprises.
• Safety and compliance first: Site-specific safety plans, documented lift procedures, hot-work controls, and tidy housekeeping protect people, property, and timelines.
• Versatile capabilities: Structural frames, moment connections, lintels and beams, stairs and mezzanines, canopies and architectural steel—finished to the standard your project demands.

Services You Can Start With Today

• Structural Steel Fabrication & Erection: From single-storey frames to phased multi-storey projects, including connection detailing that streamlines installation.
• Residential Steel: Beams, posts, moment frames, and stair stringers for custom homes, additions, ADUs, and renovations across Greater Victoria and the Westshore.
• Commercial & Light Industrial: Retail and office buildouts, warehouse bays, high-bay frames, and tenant improvements—planned around operations to reduce downtime.
• Miscellaneous & Architectural Metals: Stairs, guards, platforms, canopies, and exposed elements delivered with shop-quality finishes.
• Finishes & Coordination: Shop primer, galvanizing, powder coat, and fire-resistive coatings coordinated for schedule and durability.

If you’re unsure what you need, just describe the end result—clear spans, headroom, stair access, seismic upgrades, or faster enclosure—and we’ll propose the simplest route to get you there.

How We Keep Your Project on Schedule

Steel succeeds or fails on coordination. Our team builds certainty into each phase:

• Preplanning that saves weeks: Early advice on member availability, connection families, and erection sequencing cuts friction later.
• Detailing that fits real sites: We coordinate with your engineer to finalize connections that install quickly and align perfectly in the field.
• Island-smart logistics: Phased, just-in-time loads matched to crane availability reduce street congestion and on-site storage.
• Weather-aware sequencing: Wind and rain thresholds are baked into lift planning; we resequence tasks to keep work moving safely.
• Transparent communication: Look-ahead schedules, daily site notes during erection, and a single point of contact mean you always know “what’s next.”

What to Expect in Your Estimate

We price for clarity. Your estimate outlines tonnage, connection complexity, finishes, delivery, erection, and any allowances for unknowns (like concealed conditions or access changes). If scope shifts, you’ll receive a written update with cost/time impacts before we proceed. No grey areas—just informed decisions.
