Structural Steel Procurement and Erection in Frisco, TX

Structural steel procurement, fabrication coordination, and erection services in the Frisco area.

Structural steel erection forms the skeleton of industrial buildings throughout North Texas. Whether supporting roof systems, crane loads, or multi-story structures, steel framing provides the strength and clear spans that industrial operations require. We coordinate steel procurement, fabrication, and erection as part of complete industrial construction projects.

Steel construction begins during preconstruction with material procurement. Current market conditions create long lead times for structural steel, sometimes extending 4-6 months from order to delivery. Early steel procurement becomes critical for projects with aggressive schedules. We coordinate with steel suppliers and fabricators to compress timelines where possible.

Connection design coordination between structural engineers and steel fabricators ensures buildable details that can be fabricated and erected efficiently. Shop drawing review identifies conflicts before fabrication, preventing field delays from connection interferences or geometric conflicts.

Erection sequences consider building geometry, crane access, and weather exposure. We develop erection plans that maintain stability during construction while providing safe working conditions for steel crews. Fall protection, load paths during construction, and temporary bracing all factor into erection planning.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does structural steel procurement typically take?
Lead times vary with market conditions but typically run 12-20 weeks from order to delivery. Hot-rolled sections generally have longer leads than lighter framing materials. Early procurement during preconstruction helps maintain schedule.
What information is needed to procure structural steel?
Structural drawings and specifications define steel requirements. Connection details, material grades, and coating requirements all affect procurement. Complete design allows accurate ordering and minimizes change orders.
How do you coordinate steel erection with other trades?
Erection schedules coordinate with foundation completion, building envelope installation, and embedded items from mechanical and electrical contractors. Detailed scheduling maintains workflow across all trades.
What site access is required for steel erection?
Crane access around building perimeter is essential. Staging areas for steel delivery and laydown must accommodate truck deliveries and material handling equipment. Site constraints require evaluation during planning.
