Our seasoned estimators understand the success of your project starts before construction. It is not uncommon to see our estimators putting together detailed budgets with nothing more than a hand sketch. No matter what phase your project is in, our estimators will provide expertise and support beyond fabrication and erection.
We provide a full range of 3D detailing capabilities utilizing Tekla Structures. Our experienced in-house design team and select outside detailers can provide BIM Support throughout the project duration. By using 3D Modeling, we can detect potential issues and coordinate more effectively.
We have recently implemented Tekla EPM which enables real-time paperless production operations and visualization. Our clients can view our models from their phones and even check the status of a certain item by a simple click of a button.

Installation: Or Erection
We specialize in complex installations. It is during the initial project development when we plan for what will happen on site. In strict accordance with AISC, our certified erection procedures are outlined in advance and custom rigging fixtures are engineered and manufactured in tandem with the project.
Safety
Platinum Safety Award
We take safety seriously. That is why ConstructSecure, a third-party global risk assessment company, recently listed SOS Steel as winners of their prestigious Platinum Safety Award. This award is presented to companies that achieve a safety score greater than 95% in their Safety Assessment Program.
Our safety program and consistent low EMR ranks as one of the best amongst our peers, and we continuously strive for improvement. By proactively identifying safety concerns we can mitigate the risk before an injury occurs. Our goal is zero accidents on every project.
