Questions

Structural steel FAQ

Does the fabricator need CWB certification?

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

What should I send for a beam quote?

Send the engineer's drawings, photos and site access details. Ask the fabricator what is needed before it can quote supply and installation.

What belongs in the installation quote?

Ask who handles delivery, lifting, temporary support, connections and finish. Have the engineer confirm the design before ordering steel.

Good to know

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