One of the most important decisions for an industrial facility to make concerns the fabrication company that they partner with for equipment, materials, and supplies. Partnering with a high quality fabrication shop will yield benefits for years to come while choosing a subpar fabrication company could result in missed deadlines, poor quality, high costs, and bad service. Let’s take a look at 5 major benefits offered by

Benefit 1: Faster Turnaround Times

Time is money in the industrial world and a delay in delivery of fabricated items can result in major problems as productivity grinds to a halt and everything stops while the facility waits on the delayed goods. However, a high quality fabrication shop can not only consistently meet deadlines, but often deliver results that are much faster than the industry standard.

This is possible because a high quality fabrication shop will have the resources, manpower, and experience to get the job done quickly and efficiently. They will have state-of-the-art equipment, plenty of fabrication space, a dedicated workforce, and an ability to prioritize and remain organized even when conditions become demanding.

Benefit 2: Lowered Costs

A high quality fabrication shop can also typically deliver lower costs and remain more cost competitive than a poorly run or inadequately equipped fabrication shop. This is because the greater efficiency and skill of the welders, laborers, and craftsmen allow them to get more done in less time. Likewise, fewer mistakes translate to less waste and higher quality at lower costs. Finally, a well-run, state-of-the-art fabrication shop will have all the equipment and space necessary to maximize efficiency and keeps costs low.

By contrast a poorly managed fabrication shop with fewer resources and less skilled workers is likely to run into problems, work at a slower pace, and frequently have to redo work. All of this equates to added expenses which are often passed along to clients in order to keep the failing shop operational.

Benefit 3: Consistency

Industrial facilities require a very high level of consistency in their fabricated parts and equipment. High quality fabrication shops are able to offer this consistency by getting everything down to a fine art and using proven methods and designs. For items that are modular in nature clients can count on everything fitting together perfectly, being set up and brought online quickly and efficiently, and seamlessly integrating into day-to-day operations.

Benefit 4: Customization

However, many clients also require a degree of customization in their fabricated goods, for example to alter physical size, capacity, operating conditions, features and options, and an array of other potential variables. A lower-quality fabrication shop may struggle to make these modifications and may suffer from numerous missteps before getting right.

By contrast a high quality fabrication shop will be able to customize parts and equipment effectively and will be willing and eager to offer that level of service to their clients.

Benefit 5: Safety

The most important benefit of all delivered by high quality fabrication shops is safety. Safety is a must in the industrial sector and clients need to be absolutely confident in the parts, equipment, and supplies that they are using in their facilities. Trusting a less proven fabrication shop with this crucial requirement could result in major accidents, outages, and productivity shortfalls.
