Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from shop drawings and takeoffs in Stratford
Fabrication details clarified
Shop drawings turn design intent into dimensions, materials, hole patterns, welds, and finish notes. They catch conflicts before metal is cut.
Site conditions noted
Existing openings, field measurements, wall types, and slab conditions are recorded where drawings alone are not enough. Fabrication often depends on those conditions.
Install sequence considered
Large or repeated metal packages need piece marks, sections, and connection notes. The drawing should help the installer, not just the estimator.
Made in Canada
Why Canadian-made metalwork matters
Custom metalwork made in Canada gives contractors, property teams, and facilities tighter quality control, faster lead times, and fewer cross-border delays. The work is fabricated in our Toronto shop, with Canadian steel and other metals selected when the application requires them.
Custom, local, built to spec
We support your shop drawings and takeoffs with Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
