Steel Columns Toronto

Professional Steel Columns in the GTA

Konstruction Group fabricates and installs steel columns for residential and commercial construction throughout Toronto and the GTA. Every custom home and multiplex project we frame includes steel columns - they support the beams that enable open floor plans and carry structural loads. We handle the complete process: fabrication with base plates and cap plates in our CWB-certified shop, delivery, and professional installation by certified welders. Because we do both steel and framing, your columns integrate seamlessly with insulation and drywall.

Types of Steel Columns

• Round Steel Columns (Lally) – Traditional round pipe columns, often concrete-filled, common in basements
• HSS Square/Rectangular – Hollow structural sections offering clean lines and efficient load capacity
• Wide Flange Columns – W-shape sections for heavy loads and moment-resisting connections
• Built-Up Columns – Custom fabricated columns for extreme loads or special requirements

Proper Column Installation

Steel columns must be properly sized, positioned, and connected to transfer loads safely to the foundation. Base plates distribute load to concrete footings and must be anchored securely. Top connections to beams can be welded or bolted depending on engineering requirements. All connections must be executed per structural drawings for the installation to perform as designed.

Steel Columns in Custom Homes & Multiplexes

Steel columns are essential in nearly every custom home and multiplex we build. They support the beams that span large openings, carry concentrated loads from above, and transfer forces to the foundation. In multiplexes, columns are often part of moment frame systems that resist lateral forces. Because we handle framing, steel, insulation, and drywall, column installation coordinates perfectly with the rest of your project.

Lally Column Replacement

Older homes often have lally columns that have rusted at the base or are undersized for current loads. Replacement involves temporarily shoring the beam, removing the old column, installing a new steel column on a proper base plate, and making the top connection. The new column must bear on adequate footing - we assess footing condition and recommend reinforcement if needed.
