SERVICE
When the crane gets there, we want to be ready.
Columns, beams, joists and deck, set by our own crew across Metro Atlanta and the Southeast.
The expensive time to find a problem is when the steel and the crane are already sitting on your site. We read the set, look at what we’re tying into and ask questions before erection whenever we can. Then our crew sets it, bolts it, plumbs it and gets your frame moving.
- Columns and base platesSet on anchor bolts, shimmed, plumbed and grouted to the anchor bolt plan.
- Beams and girdersFlown, landed, fit up and bolted to the connection details on the drawings.
- Open-web joists and joist girdersSet, bridged and welded off, including the bridging that gets skipped and then flagged.
- Metal deckRoof and composite floor deck laid, fastened and welded, with deck closures and pour stops.
- Field welding and bolt-upMoment connections, shear tabs, stiffeners and the welds an inspector will look for.
- Embed and anchor coordinationWe check the anchor bolt layout before the crane shows up, not after.
This is the order we like to do it in.
- 01
Drawings and a real look at the site
We read the structural set and the anchor bolt plan, then look at access, laydown and what the crane can actually reach. Most surprises on a steel package are access problems, not steel problems.
- 02
Shop drawings and material
Connections get detailed and the material is ordered and fabricated. Pieces come to site marked, so the crew isn’t guessing on the ground.
- 03
Set the frame
Columns, then beams, then joists and deck. Bolted up as we go rather than left loose for a second pass.
- 04
Plumb, bolt out and weld off
The frame is plumbed and the connections are torqued and welded to the detail, ready for inspection.
- 05
Hand it over square
You get a frame the next trade can work off, and a punch list we close instead of argue about.

Do you erect steel you didn’t fabricate?
Yes. We erect packages fabricated elsewhere, and we fabricate packages other crews erect. If someone else detailed and supplied it, we’ll still read the set and tell you what we think before we start.
How early do you want the anchor bolt plan?
As early as you have it. Checking anchor bolt layout against the column schedule before steel arrives is the cheapest hour anyone spends on a steel package. Finding it wrong with a crane on site is the most expensive.
Can you work around a concrete or wood package already underway?
That is most of what we do. Podium and wrap-style jobs mean sequencing steel around a structure that’s already moving. We plan the sets around whoever is in the way that week.
Do you handle metal deck as part of the package?
Yes, roof deck and composite floor deck, including closures and pour stops. It is usually cleaner to keep deck with the erector than to split it out.
Send Jorge the structural set.
Don't clean them up for us. Send the set, mark up what you're carrying and tell us when you need steel. We'll go through it and let you know what questions we have.
