Websites and sales systems for steel erectors and fabricators

Structural steel is sold on safety, tonnage and schedule. We build sites that give a GC what the prequal asks for and show an owner the kind of building you have put up.

Who buys

  • General contractors and construction managers
  • Structural engineers
  • Developers (industrial, commercial)
  • Fabricators seeking erection partners (or vice versa)
  • Owners of PEMB and industrial buildings

Pages the site needs

  • Structural steel erection
  • Steel fabrication (shop capabilities)
  • Pre-engineered metal buildings
  • Miscellaneous metals and stairs
  • Steel decking and joists
  • Industrial and heavy steel
  • Project gallery by tonnage and type

Proof buyers look for

  • AISC certification (if held)
  • Safety program, EMR and OSHA record
  • Tonnage capacity and crane fleet
  • Project list by tonnage and building type
  • Bonding capacity and insurance limits
01 The build

What we would build for a steel contractor.

Steel is the trade where safety record comes before price. A GC’s prequal for an erector asks for EMR, OSHA recordables, the safety program and the crane and rigging capability before it asks for anything else. Your website should answer in that order.

Safety first, literally

A safety page that states your EMR for three years, your OSHA record, your program (fall protection, rigging, crane operator certifications), and who runs it. Then capability: crane fleet, tonnage per week, shop capacity if you fabricate, AISC certification if you hold it.

Fabrication and erection are two searches

If you do both, they are two pages with two sets of proof. Fabrication sells on shop capability, detailing and delivery; erection sells on crews, cranes and schedule. PEMB is a third buyer altogether, often an owner, and gets its own page written for someone who has never bought a building before.

Steel photographs like nothing else. A gallery by tonnage and building type, with the GC and engineer credited, is the page a construction manager sends to the owner. We make sure it exists and loads fast on a phone.

The sales system

Industrial developers, GCs who self-perform nothing, and fabricators looking for erection partners are all lists you can build. A rep working them for a capabilities meeting, opening on safety and schedule, is how a regional erector gets onto a national GC’s bid list. How the sales system works.
