From capabilities to quality to customer experience, every metal fabrication company offers something different.\u00a0 So how do you choose the best fit for your project\u2019s needs?\u00a0 Here are five factors to consider when you need to source a new precision sheet metal fabricator for your next big project.<\/p>\n

\"machining,1. Capabilities<\/strong><\/h2>\n

First, when selecting a new metal fabricator consider whether or not they have the experience and capital equipment necessary to perform the required tasks for your project.\u00a0 If you are looking for HVAC sheet metal, then\u00a0do not engage a shop that specializes in aerospace.\u00a0 HVAC and aerospace require widely different machines and fabrication processes.<\/p>\n

Rather, you should focus on type, the gauge of metal, and finishing capabilities of the company and make sure they align with your needs.\u00a0 Similarly, you will want to ensure the company you choose can handle all or a large majority of the project in-house, with minimal use of subcontractors.\u00a0 Doing so can save a project both time and cost as well as ensure top quality. \u00a0It is also important to make sure the company has skilled labor, and capacity to take on your project.<\/p>\n


\n2. Experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When it comes to the world of precision metal fabrication, experience matters \u2013 especially in practical design for manufacturability<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. \u00a0Look for a company with a strong engineering team who can accurately quote the project; experts at translating shop drawings into viable products; skilled and dedicated craftsmen and laborers who are passionate about manufacturing; and project managers with real-world experience.\u00a0 All will have a large impact on the overall success of your project.<\/p>\n

\"ISO3. Quality<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With any metal fabrication project, the sales pitch is just the first step of the process.\u00a0 Take the time to learn about the company and any certifications, registrations the company holds.\u00a0 Ask the company about what actions they take to ensure quality and pass inspection on every project.\u00a0 Make sure quality is of high importance with the organization, and not one in which to cut corners.<\/p>\n

4. Process<\/h2>\n

At Meta Fab, our process<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u00a0is to focus on supporting clients and managing projects.\u00a0 Our talented account managers have the tools to provide detailed insights on exactly where your project is at throughout the manufacturing process.\u00a0 Our engineers and technicians have worked tirelessly to minimize waste and shave days, sometimes weeks, of standard projects, all to improve your experience in doing business with Meta Fab, Inc.<\/p>\n

\"Customer<\/p>\n

5. Customer Service<\/h2>\n
