Bid the job

The shop bids fabrication and erection work across New England: structural frames, metal decking, stairs, rails and ornamental metalwork, priced from the drawing set.

What to send

A bid starts with the drawings. Send the structural set, or the architectural set with the steel pages marked, plus the schedule the job runs on. Photos of the site help on renovation work; a spec book helps when the job has one. If the job is small (a stair, a rail, a grate, a plasma-cut part), a sketch with dimensions and the material callout is enough to price.

What the shop prices

Fabrication is priced per piece and per ton: cut, cope, weld, prime and deliver. Erection is priced per crew-day with the crane and rigging counted in. Small metal (stairs, rails, gates, grates) is priced per assembly, set included or not, as the job wants. Mill certificates come with every shipment; the shop keeps copies on file.

How the estimate comes back

Every estimate states what it covers and what it does not, the same way a bench note does: scope, exclusions, lead time from shop drawings to delivery, and the crew the job would draw. Lead time runs on the mill schedule and the shop's plate list, so the number on the estimate is the number the yard can hold.

Reaching the yard

The shop keeps hours Monday through Friday, first shift. Bids and drawings go to bids@aseasf.com, and a field look is set up the same way: write first and the foreman will call the job back.
