What started as a lean fabrication operation has grown into a 16-person team handling full-scope metal packages for South Florida's most demanding projects - from boutique hotels on Miami Beach to luxury waterfront residences in Coconut Grove and Key Biscayne.

What Sets Us Apart

Precision

Every component is modeled and fabricated using digital templates to ensure fits within millimetres. Our certified welders follow stringent quality control procedures.

Innovation

We collaborate closely with architects and designers to integrate lighting, glass, perforated panels or bespoke patterns into metalwork. Our facility can handle complex radius bends and mixed-material assemblies.

Safety

We strictly follow Florida Building Code load and opening requirements and verify height, spacing and load capacity. Our project management emphasizes onsite safety and risk mitigation.

Sustainability

Our metals contain high recycled content and are fully recyclable. Prefabrication and powder-coating reduce onsite waste and emissions. We aim to create long-lasting systems that minimize lifecycle costs.
