About Richards Welding & Metal Fabrication.
Richards Welding is an AISC certified metal fabricator delivering full-service commercial and industrial fabrication. We specialize in structural metal solutions for procurement teams, project engineers, and operations managers who need a reliable, code-compliant fabrication partner.
A Single, Accountable Partner for the Full Scope
Our facility combines advanced CNC automation with certified structural welding and turnkey delivery capabilities — providing a single, accountable partner for the full fabrication scope. We serve clients across commercial construction, industrial manufacturing, OEM production, and infrastructure sectors.
As an AISC certified metal fabricator, Richards Welding performs all structural welding in full compliance with AWS standards — the quality and compliance benchmarks most frequently required by structural engineers, project owners, and prime contractors.

AISC Certified · AWS Compliant · FCAW Structural WeldingAdvanced CNC Processing
Automated cutting, burning, and drilling with material-maximizing nesting software — reducing waste and lowering per-part costs at production scale.
Shear & Press Brake Forming
Heavy-duty shearing and precise angular bending for custom plates, structural brackets, and sheet metal to exact tolerances.
Certified Structural Welding
AWS-compliant FCAW structural welding by certified welders, with documented procedures and full code compliance for commercial and industrial applications.
Turnkey Assembly & Delivery
End-to-end project management covering surface preparation, quality control inspection, and staged freight delivery — all under one roof.
Built to Be a Dependable B2B Partner
AISC Certification
As an AISC certified metal fabricator, our facility has been independently audited and certified against the American Institute of Steel Construction's standards — a requirement on many commercial and industrial structural projects.
AWS Compliance
Every structural weld is performed to American Welding Society standards with certified welder qualifications and documented procedures available for project records.
Single-Source Accountability
From initial material processing through final delivery, we manage the full scope internally — eliminating handoffs, reducing risk, and simplifying your supply chain.
Production Scale Capacity
Our facility is structured and scheduled to handle complex, multi-part production runs and heavy structural assemblies concurrently.
Accuracy at Volume
CNC automation and nesting software ensure dimensional accuracy and material efficiency are maintained consistently across large production runs.
One facility. Full scope.
CNC cutting, forming, welding, assembly, QC and freight — managed internally, start to finish.
Quality is Embedded in Every Step.
From the nesting software that optimizes material yield, to the certified welders who sign off on every structural joint, to the QC inspection that precedes every delivery — our AISC certification and AWS compliance are not just credentials. They are the operating standards our team is held to on every project.
We understand that our clients depend on accuracy, reliability, and on-schedule delivery. Delays or non-conformances on fabricated components have downstream consequences. Our processes are designed to prevent them.
As an AISC certified metal fabricator, we know that certification alone doesn't guarantee results — consistency does. Every project that comes through our shop follows the same documented path: material verification, CNC programming and nesting, certified welding to AWS specifications, in-process quality checks, and a final inspection before anything leaves our facility. This structure is what allows us to take on complex, multi-part structural assemblies without treating any single order as a special case.
We work best with clients who value a fabrication partner they don't have to double-check. Whether you're a general contractor coordinating a tight construction schedule, an OEM integrating our components into a larger assembly, or a project engineer specifying structural steel for an infrastructure job, our role is the same: deliver exactly what was specified, on the timeline we committed to, with the documentation to prove it.
