Before you call

Metal fabrication: the short version

Building custom metal parts and assemblies: cutting, bending, welding and finishing.

When you need it

  • Custom frames, racks, brackets and guards
  • Gates, railings and outdoor pieces
  • Truck, trailer and equipment parts
  • A prototype, then a production run

What to send the shop

  • A drawing: DXF, DWG, STEP or PDF
  • No drawing? A sketch with height, width and length
  • Material and quantity
  • Finish: bare, paint, powder coat or galvanized
  • Install needed, or pickup only

Typical lead time

As little as 1 week at one Chicago shop, depending on job size.

Ask the shop

3 questions worth asking

  1. Q1

    Is the finish in the price?

  2. Q2

    Do you install, or is it pickup only?

  3. Q3

    Who makes the shop drawings if I only have a sketch?

Questions

Metal fabrication FAQ

How fast is a quote?

One Chicago contract manufacturer quotes most parts within 24 hours. A Chicago design studio answers within 48 hours.

Will a shop take one piece or a small repair?

Some will. One downtown Chicago studio takes small welding jobs, repairs and one-off pieces. Profiles show which shops take small jobs.

What should I send?

Your drawing, quantities, material and finish, says one Broadview wire shop. It then comes back with price and lead time.

Good to know

  • Few Chicago fabricators post prices. Send drawings or photos to compare quotes.
  • Outdoor steel needs a coat. Ask about galvanizing or powder coating.
