Questions

Structural steel FAQ

How long does structural steel work take in Burnaby?

Jeff and Simon Ironworks, a Burnaby shop, says commercial and structural projects often run 10 to 16 weeks. Engineering review, permits and other trades all play a part.

Does the fabricator need CWB certification?

For welded structures built to CSA S16, the fabricator must be CWB certified in Division 1 or 2, says CWB.

What should I send for a mezzanine quote?

Send the layout, intended use, loads and any engineer's drawings. Ask who supplies the design and checks the connections.

Good to know

  • Ask who provides the engineered drawings and checks the site measurements.
  • No Burnaby shop we checked posts prices for this. Send a request to compare quotes.
