Questions

Structural steel FAQ

Do I need a permit to remove a wall?

Yes. The City of Hamilton lists adding or removing walls, load bearing or not, and beams and lintels as work that needs a building permit.

Does the fabricator need CWB certification?

For welded structures built to CSA S16, yes: Division 1 or 2, says CWB. Profiles show which Hamilton shops hold CSA W47.1.

Can one shop cut, weld and install?

Some can. One Stoney Creek steel yard cuts and welds beams to builder specs and welds on site.

What does a steel beam cost in Hamilton?

No Hamilton fabricator we checked posts beam prices. Send the engineer's drawing to compare quotes.

Good to know

  • Structural work needs engineered drawings. Ask who provides them.
  • Beams are priced per job: span, access and install all count.
