Transforming Ideas Into Realities
Our Steps to A Successful Project
Crafting Quotes With Care
Whether you reach out via email, phone, or in person, we’re here to listen. We dive deep into the details to ensure we understand your vision, and if anything is unclear, we’ll circle back to you for clarity. Drawing from our expertise, we guarantee the quote we deliver to you is tailored to your unique project’s requirements.
A Roadmap To Efficient Production
Next, we take a close look at the resources needed, making sure we’ve got everything lined up. Then, with a clear roadmap in hand, we strategically plan and schedule the engineering, purchasing, and production phases.
Blueprinting Your Vision
The engineering team bridges ideas and reality. After collaborating with the estimating department, we dive into your project’s specifics. Using your requirements, we create detailed plans and build packages, setting the stage for successful manufacturing. The engineering team is also proactive in unique problem-solving to help support the manufacturing process.
Meticulous Care, Timely Delivery
Project managers are the liaisons between you and the engineering, estimating, and production teams, ensuring all the steps and details are meticulously taken care of for you, all while maintaining timelines and budgets.
Seamless Collaboration for On-Time Delivery
Teaming up with our trusted suppliers and subcontractors, we can make certain your project’s needs are met. And it’s not just about getting the job done; it’s about finding the highest-quality products and services at prices that make sense, all while keeping an eye on timely delivery.
Purchasing
Through email, a face-to-face chat, or a call, we kick off the purchasing process with a purchase requisition. We then reach out to our network of suppliers, ensuring we get the best quotes. Once we’ve weighed lead times and costs, we issue a purchase order to appropriate suppliers, always keeping quality at the forefront of our decision.
Logistics
Collaborating closely with suppliers and freight companies, we ensure every incoming shipment is on track to arrive exactly when we need it. If there’s even a hint of a delay, our production team is the first to know, ensuring we adjust and adapt without missing a beat.
The Many Ways We Get The Job Done
CNC Cutting
Our approach to CNC cutting is all about precision. We manage our plate inventory diligently, program as needed, and choose the best cutting process—be it Waterjet, Plasma, or automatic band saw cutting. And throughout, quality remains our top priority.
CNC Machining
We set up the machine as per the parts program and teach the machine the location of the workpiece. Rigorous inspections and continuous monitoring ensure we can guarantee all finished dimensions conform to specifications.
Forming
After evaluating the drawings, we program the CNC machine as per the drawing, using appropriate punch and die combinations to achieve proper bend on items. We check the completed part to the drawing specification.
Welding
Welding is both an art and a science for us. We consult the drawings, prep the parts, and weld in proper order to decrease the chance of weld distortion.
Fabrication
Using the drawings, we gather the necessary parts, use the right tools, and ensure the final product matches your specifications to a T.
Sandblast
We organize parts by final product colour, rearranging them to optimize blasting angles to guarantee a smooth impeccable finish, and then sandblast to specifications.
Paint
Taking the same grouped parts and arranging them for perfected angle and lighting for painting. The paint is mixed for spraying, is then baked to harden, and finally inspected for a flawless solid finish.
Assemble
This is where everything comes together. We gather parts, consult the drawings, and assemble them with precision. After a final quality check, we give our shipping department the green light.
From Dispatch to Delivery
Once given the green light from the manufacturing team, the shipping team collects all necessary items for shipping, formulates a packing plan, secures all parts onto shipping pallets, and loads pallets onto the delivery truck.
Logistics
We coordinate with freight and brokerage companies for smooth shipment; from scheduling to handling all the essential paperwork like packing slips, bills of lading, and customs clearance, we’ve got it all handled. We keep you updated on dispatch, expected arrival times, and tracking details so you’re never left wondering.
