Steel Erection

We are Builders First

Schuff Steel is a builder. Period. Erecting structures since 1977, we see every project through the trained eye of a builder. Because of this, we are thorough and attentive to every detail, from day one. Each build is approached from a constructability standpoint and

what will work best in field when considering safety, schedule and budget. As a trusted partner, we provide experiential foresight and model-based counsel to guide our clients as they make critical project decisions.

Safe builds

Reliable labor

Resourceful teams

4+ decades of experience

Safety…always

We don’t breathe the word erection without safety being an equal part of the conversation. Speed, quality and safety are considered in balanced proportions.

In addition to having dedicated safety professionals on every job site, we have field superintendents, along with Area Superintendents and Regional Safety Managers that oversee geographical areas. Our safety management teams are well equipped and extensively trained to the highest standards, with the most pertinent and actionable safety practices. Our program has saved lives, reduced accidents, and won us countless safety awards.

We Deliver. On Time.

We understand our clients’ critical concerns of maintaining a schedule when erecting steel. Our dedicated preconstruction team along with our processes, advanced technologies and decades of building expertise has earned us the recognition of #1 Steel Erector by ENR, time and again.

Modern day designs that push boundaries past the expected, demands ingenuity to craft a plan that manages the intricacies of procurement, fabrication and labor while optimizing field execution. We invest our expertise and time towards planning the entire build, before we even submit a bid. This means our proposals are accurate, include the best optimized plan and have your best interests at heart.

  • Terrain considerations including underground and weight bearing surfaces
  • Erection sequencing with optimized crane selection
  • Crane logistics plans including crane setting locations, along with unloading and laydown defined areas
  • Type and location of crane percentages for safe rigging
  • Transportation permits and routes for delivery of and exit
  • Plan steel arrival and sequence of members to work within clients flow along with local and FAA restrictions
  • Just in time deliveries to minimize need for staging areas so space can be reallocated for long lead items

Our ironworkers are at the heart of what we do. Their dedication makes any feat possible. Our network is as strong as the steel we erect. Through committed and respectful relationships, we are always well staffed ensuring project delivery is safe, of the highest quality and on time.

De-Risking Builds
with Technology

Our 3D models and advanced technologies are key to de-risking project delivery. Down to the pixel, our models are the single source of truth for planning, constructability, erection planning and status tracking.

In field, we leverage models to:

  • Set out safety, crane plans, erection scenarios, transportation routes
  • Connect to Total Stations to verify location and elevations
  • Track arrival of steel to jobsite
  • Provide perspective of the day-to-day work packages
  • Enable real time problem solving when clash issues arise
  • Enable just-in-time delivery minimizing double handling by not
    requiring storage
  • Print less to be more environmentally friendly

Quality builds

Speed is never sacrificed at the cost of quality. Through our Quality Control team, we utilize tracking systems and processes to isolate behavior based leading indicators at both a job level and company level, ensuring we stay one step ahead to reduce potential rework.

From beams to bolts, every steel component onsite is checked.
We test:

  • Bolts: Tensioning based on diameter, length, and lot number
  • Structural Members: Installation to ensure each floor is plumb and aligned
  • Welds: Quality and precision

This data provides insight so we can instill proactive measures to ensure we hand over a steel structure that meets best standards and is delivered on time. A cornerstone that we stake our reputation on

North America’s most trusted
steel erector and fabricator

At Schuff Steel, we recognize building trends are fraught with challenges that cause inefficiencies and redundancies throughout the project lifecycle. By approaching each project with a “builder” mindset, we plan the project with the construction of the building in mind and work backwards through erection, fabrication and project management to help inform the most constructible, optimized design.

Our fine-tuned systems and processes effectively manage sophisticated builds while setting new benchmarks within the industry. Simply put, we are at our strongest when we’re in a position to assist, collaborate and problem solve to improve project delivery and increase overall value for the owner.

Fortunate to have had Schuff Steel as a trade partner

Early commitment of Whiting-Turner’s key trade partners ultimately contributed to the successful achievement of the Google Bay View Campus (GBV). Schuff Steel’s vital expertise in logistics and erection for the GBV campus proves their capability and duty to professionally collaborate as a team. Their dedicated effort to work in partnership with Whiting-Turner, Thornton Tomasetti (Design Team), and their Erection Engineering and Heavy Lift partners (TT and Bigge), aided in the execution of an iconic structure for our shared client. The project team spent two years designing and planning the implementation of three separate long-span canopy roof lifts and Schuff Steel’s hard work and commitment was paramount to complete this process safely and successfully.
