Custom Steel Columns and Beams Fabricated to Architectural Drawings
t479-14

Custom steel beams fabrication means cutting, welding and finishing structural steel members exactly to an architect's drawings. Techno Kol Uzi produces steel columns, beams and frames to measure in its Tel Aviv factory, then delivers them ready for installation.
Why architects choose made-to-measure steel elements
Many architectural designs call for steel members that are not available as standard sections. Exposed beams, slender columns, cantilevered frames and unusual connection details all require fabrication that follows the drawing precisely. Working with a factory that builds to measure means the design intent survives from the drawing board to the finished structure.
Custom fabrication also gives you control over the finish, the connection points and the tolerances that matter for your project.
From drawing to finished member: the work process
The process usually begins with your architectural drawings and structural details. We review the drawings, confirm dimensions and connection points, and then prepare a written specification for your approval before production starts.
- Review of drawings and details
- Written specification and approval
- Cutting, drilling and welding in the factory
- Surface finishing such as hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating
- Delivery and installation coordination
Materials and finishes we work with
Our workshop processes structural steel, stainless steel and aluminum, depending on the requirement of the design and the environment where the element will stand. Each material responds differently to welding and finishing, so the choice should be made with the structural engineer and the architect together.
For exterior steel, protective finishes such as hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating are applied after fabrication to extend the life of the member and keep its appearance consistent.
Coordinating with engineers and contractors
Steel members are only as good as the information behind them. We recommend that the structural engineer confirm load-bearing requirements and section sizes, while we check the drawings for fabrication feasibility. Early coordination avoids changes on site, which are costly for everyone involved.
We are glad to work with architects, contractors and building committees, sharing drawings and revisions clearly at each stage.
Measurement, tolerances and site fit
Where existing structures are involved, on-site measurement is essential before fabrication. Dimensions taken from older drawings can differ from what is built, so we recommend verifying key points on site. Tolerances should be agreed in advance, particularly for connections that must align with other building elements.
For structural values and load requirements, we always refer to your engineer rather than assuming figures.
Delivery and installation support
Fabricated members are prepared for transport and handling so they arrive in good condition. We can coordinate delivery timing with your site schedule and provide the information your installer needs, including marking, orientation and connection details. Clear communication at this stage helps the installation proceed smoothly on site.
Frequently asked questions
Can you fabricate steel beams and columns from my own architectural drawings?
Yes, we fabricate directly from architectural and structural drawings. We review the drawings first and confirm any details that are unclear before production.
Do I need to send a structural engineer's approval?
We recommend that your structural engineer confirms section sizes and loads. Once the design is approved, we can proceed to fabrication.
Which finishes are available for exterior steel?
Common options include hot-dip galvanizing and powder coating. The right finish depends on the environment and the look you want, and we can advise on the choice.
Should I measure on site before ordering?
Yes, when working with existing structures, on-site measurement is strongly recommended. It ensures the fabricated members fit the actual conditions rather than only the drawings.
Common mistakes to avoid
A common mistake is ordering steel from drawings that have not been checked against the existing structure. Confirm dimensions and connection points on site before production starts.
Our recommendation
Share the complete set of drawings and the engineer's section requirements at the inquiry stage, so fabrication and design can be aligned from the beginning.
Summary
Custom steel beams fabrication turns architectural drawings into precise, finished steel members. Techno Kol Uzi builds columns, beams and frames to measure in Tel Aviv, with careful coordination from drawing to delivery.
