Choosing the right fabrication partner isn’t just about getting metal welded together — it’s about trusting someone to deliver a solution that’s safe, durable, and built for the job. Whether you need custom trailers, frames, skids, or complex industrial components, your fabrication partner plays a key role in your operation’s success.

Before you commit to a project, here are essential questions you should ask to make sure you’re choosing the right team — and why Southern Fabrication checks every box.

1. Do You Have Experience with Projects Like Mine?
Not all fabricators are built the same. Ask if they’ve worked in your industry or handled projects of similar scale and complexity.

2. What Materials and Techniques Do You Use?
The quality of your finished product starts with the materials and methods used. Ask about the grade of steel, types of welds, and fabrication techniques.

3. Can You Handle Custom Builds and Design Support?
If your project isn’t off-the-shelf, you need a partner who can help you think through the design, problem-solve, and customize the build.

4. What’s Your Turnaround Time and Capacity?
Delays cost money. A good partner should be upfront about lead times, capacity, and how they handle rush or large-scale jobs.

5. How Do You Handle Quality Control?
You want a product that’s going to last. Ask what steps are in place to ensure the quality of every weld, cut, and finish.

6. Can I See Examples of Your Work?
A solid portfolio says a lot. If they can’t show you similar projects or real-world applications, that’s a red flag.

7. Will You Be There After the Build?
Support doesn’t stop after delivery. Ask if they offer repair, modification, or follow-up services when you need them.
