steel fabricator

A steel supplier is a manufacturer of steel beams and other major members used in the framework of a structure. This role does not include reinforcing bars (rebars) for concrete.

The supplied steel forms major members of the structural framework. The member itself performs the framing function, rather than serving as reinforcing steel encased within concrete.

A rebar manufacturer supplies the reinforcement excluded above. An architectural metalwork fabricator supplies nonstructural metal features, which are distinguished by their architectural use rather than by the metal alone.
