Capacity, communication and detailing capability matter more than headline rates. What to ask before you award.
Ask who does the detailing
A fabricator that details in-house controls the information flow. When drawings and the shop floor share a single source of truth, revisions move faster and errors surface earlier.
Look at how they sequence delivery
Steel delivered in build order is worth more than steel delivered early. Ask how a prospective partner plans loads against your programme.
Test the response time
How quickly a fabricator answers a technical query during tender is a fair preview of how they will behave during a shutdown.
