Steel Fabrication is a mega industry and so is custom iron works. Though much difference is there between the two in modern age it is usually the methodology employed and materials used, however both come under the same scope.

Steel fabrication has always been complex using diverse raw materials. Light weight steel is for example one such raw material which is popular among fabricators. However many different kind of metal alloys are used as base for creating framework for large buildings commercial and residential. Fabrication is not limited to mega structures but the techniques are also employed for making building components, automobile or industrial parts and machines.

Using sound manufacturing techniques and practices the range of products for commercial and industrial applications has increased tremendously. Iron Works are employed for manufacturing building components like staircase, windows, safety cages, doors, gates, roof accessories and side walk cellar doors to name a few. Vast ranges of these products are used in replacing the old ones or installing in fresh construction in residential complexes and offices besides the commercial applications.

Most of the iron works shops are able to fabricate iron and steel products under one roof in the same set up. Modern technology has made metal fabrication very flexible. The development in iron works shops has taken place through ages. Initially the development led to making utility products and than in medieval ages more stress was on creating décor for buildings. Some of the exquisite examples of fine designs are still found in large windows, stairs, railing, gates and doors of building dating way back into the Middle Ages. Some of the historical structures across the globe display ornate creations much admired by visitors. The black smith in those days had a reputation to cater. It can be said without hesitation that the World of iron smith started small and then grew big.

Iron works and fabrication is a billion dollar industry in the contemporary era. The turnovers have been bolstered by the boom in construction not only is USA but in all developed Nations across Europe and Asia.

Mega infra structure projects rely on modern fabrication technique for creating and installing metal structures which act as support and foundation besides according the desired architecture. But in spite of the rise in status metal fabrication for building components has not been relegated. Simple iron works and modern fabrication are much in vogue in the contemporary era thanks to diversity in architectures which range from middle age designs to modern skyscrapers and projects pertaining to complex engineering.

Pre fabrication is the biggest benefit accorded by the modern technique. This comes with greater benefits than manufacturing on site. Hence not only the entire structure prefabrication eases fabrication of components like doors, staircases, windows, panels, roof trusses, ladders and cellar doors. Most of the fab shops operate locally since the cost of transportation weighs against other benefits that accrue. Automation in the process has also changed the manner in which manufacturing takes place.

Nevertheless the fab shops receive a lot of response locally. This is due to construction boom everywhere and the constant demands for components from both residential and commercial quarters.
