Drafting & Design

Our draftsmen are highly skilled at developing initial project design details into those that are ready for manufacturing. We use CAD software to model and render details to ensure that what we build fits seamlessly with all other building features. Connection Design & Engineering play key roles in our highly specialized trade.

Fabrication & Installation

Our industry is dependent on experienced and highly skilled craftsmen. Most of the skills required for this are not taught in schools but are gained through hands-on training. Metalworking uses complex machinery and equipment to help construct and install your finished product.
