Structural Steel & Welding Services

Structural steel beam installation typically costs $500–$5,000 per beam depending on size, weight, and complexity. A standard W8x31 beam for a residential load-bearing wall removal runs $1,500–$3,000 installed. Moment frame connections cost more due to the precision welding and engineering requirements.

A moment frame is a rigid steel connection that resists lateral forces (wind, seismic) without diagonal bracing. It is required when the architectural design calls for open floor plans or large window walls where traditional bracing would obstruct the layout. Moment frames are common in Toronto custom homes and multiplex renovations where load-bearing walls are removed.

Yes, our welding meets CWB (Canadian Welding Bureau) W47.1 certification standards. All structural welds are performed by certified welders and inspected to meet the specifications required by your structural engineer. CWB certification is mandatory for all structural steel connections in Ontario.

Shop fabrication typically takes 1–2 weeks after shop drawings are approved. Site installation depends on the scope — a single beam can be installed in one day, while a full moment frame or multi-beam system may take 3–5 days. Total turnaround from order to installed is usually 2–4 weeks.
