The Benefits of In-House Steel Fabrication

Why In-House Fabrication Matters

In the world of construction and engineering, efficiency and precision are everything. When it comes to steel fabrication, having the entire process handled in-house provides a level of control and quality that external subcontracting simply can’t match.

At MAK Structures, all fabrication and processing take place under one roof at our 20,000 sq ft Wakefield facility. This approach allows us to maintain high standards at every stage, from shot blasting and cutting to welding, painting and final inspection.

1. Improved Quality Control

Managing the full process internally means every project passes through strict quality checks. Our experienced team monitor every beam and component to ensure it meets exact specifications and complies with UKCA Marking standards up to Execution Class 3.

By reducing reliance on third parties, we eliminate the risk of errors and ensure every product leaving our facility is fabricated to the highest standard.

2. Faster Turnaround Times

With all services, including cutting, drilling, welding and painting, completed in-house, projects move seamlessly from one stage to the next without delays.

This streamlined workflow enables quicker delivery and helps clients meet tight construction deadlines without compromising quality.

3. Cost Efficiency

In-house fabrication reduces transport, outsourcing and coordination costs. By managing every aspect of production, MAK Structures provides a more cost-effective solution while maintaining complete oversight of scheduling and material use.

4. Consistent Communication

Working with one team from start to finish ensures consistent communication and clearer project management. Our clients benefit from direct updates, transparent timelines and a single point of contact throughout the fabrication process.

5. Greater Flexibility and Customisation

Every project is unique. By fabricating in-house, we can adapt to changing client requirements quickly, whether that means altering dimensions, adjusting timelines or providing specialist finishes.

This flexibility allows us to deliver bespoke steelwork solutions tailored to each project’s specific needs.
