Five steps to steel fabrication success

1.      How should I share my ideas for a metal fabrication project?

We understand that not all challenges are the same, whether it is budget constraints or specific composition of the metal, we take the time to listen to your requirements so that we can provide the correct solution. At C&C we get to know your business so we can understand exactly how the end-product must operate, to maximise your efficiency and help us to create the perfect, bespoke steel solution. Our teams work in collaboration with our clients, with feedback opportunities at each step of the process to make sure the crafted product is right first time.

Through this process, the end-product may not be the original idea but instead a product of our collaborative consultation process but always matching your spec. We recently collaborated with a customer on an office refurbishment project in York where we were approached with an idea by the customer and we turned that into the end-product they needed, but didn’t initially understand how to achieve.

2.      How should a metal fabrication project be designed?

Steel fabricators should work alongside you to design the end-product, even from the initial stages of design development. We can produce detailed, 3D modelling designs using our CAD software, so can see the project being brought to life.

Having a thorough and complete design brief, the more efficient and cost-effective the fabrication process will be. We confirm the design brief before we create any mock-ups on our 3D-modelling software, so that our mocked-up design is exactly what you need from the outset. Not only does this save time but can mitigate against costly mistakes down the line. Our team are always looking to maximise their efficiencies throughout the end-to-end process which is why we prioritise collaboration and direct contact throughout the process, keeping you in the loop at every step.

3.      How does metal fabrication manufacturing work?

Manufacturing processes in metal fabrication, like punching and welding, are vital to produce the exact solution you require. Choosing experienced, end-to-end steel fabricators is key.

At C&C we have the latest laser cutting and powder coating technology to incorporate into our one-stop shop of punching, bending, welding and assembly services. Using our 6KW Kimla laser and providing the end-to-end process, we can manufacture to the highest standards, exactly to customer specifications, providing the security and confidence that the end-product will be long-lasting and durable for your business’ needs.

One-stop shop steel fabricators like C&C are the efficient choice. British manufactured in Yorkshire, we provide quality metal fabrication solutions for your business.

4.      What should a metal fabrication provider deliver?

Completing thorough consultation, design and manufacturing stages of the process means your solution is produced by our team to your exact specifications, efficiently and cost-effectively. This creates fewer issues with installing and using your end-product. From concept to completion, C&C Fabrications provides steel fabrication solutions that meet your deadlines, your budget, and your standards.

Chris Taylor, Director of Finance and Operations: “We keep our customers informed at every stage of the process and always meet a deadline we’ve committed to. A lot of our customers are repeat customers who keep coming back to us with projects. This is a reflection of the level of service and quality of products we produce using our thorough, one-stop shop service.”

 

5.      What is the level of service I should expect in metal fabrication?

The level of service you receive from your steel fabrication partners is vital. By working with C&C we will work as an extension of your team, collaborating with you to produce the end-product you need.

Efficiency and cost-effectiveness are key elements to consider when choosing your steel fabrication service provider and choosing a one-stop shop is the optimal choice. Having collaborative, real-person engagement is what makes C&C a long-term partner of our loyal clients.
