Structural Steel Processing for Contractors in Caldwell, Idaho
For structural steel contractors, general contractors, and commercial construction projects across the Treasure Valley, Redband Fabrication processes steel components to customer-provided engineered drawings and specifications from our shop in Caldwell, Idaho.
What We Process
Our structural steel work covers the components that go into commercial and industrial construction. When you send us your drawings, we cut, form, and process:
- Splice plates: for beam and column connections
- Brace plates: for lateral bracing connections
- Base plates: for column foundations
- Gusset plates: for connection reinforcement
- Steel shims: for leveling and fit-up
- Custom brackets: fabricated to customer drawings
- Structural angles: cut and processed to length
- Beam and channel processing: for structural members
Our Process: Drawings to Parts
The goal is parts that fit on the job site without rework. Our workflow:
- Step 1: Drawing review. We take your drawings and part files and review the scope. If there are questions or conflicts, we flag them before we cut.
- Step 2: Programming. Parts are programmed in SolidWorks and nested in ProNest for CNC plasma cutting.
- Step 3: Cutting and forming. Plates are cut on our Hypertherm HPR130XD AutoGas plasma system and formed on our 150-ton press brake with a 10-foot bed.
- Step 4: Welding. Welded assemblies are completed with GMAW and FCAW welding. Structural steel welding with AWS D1.1 qualifications available based on project requirements.
- Step 5: Delivery coordination. We coordinate delivery timing with your schedule so steel arrives when your site is ready.
Materials
We process common structural and abrasion-resistant grades:
- A36: standard structural carbon steel
- A572: high-strength structural steel
- AR400 / AR500: abrasion-resistant plate for wear applications
Welding and Qualifications

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does structural steel processing cost in Caldwell?
Every project is different. Cost depends on material, quantity, complexity, and processing requirements. We quote every job from your drawings. Send us your plans, material specifications, and quantities and we will get you pricing.
Can you fabricate to our engineer's drawings?
Yes. We fabricate to customer-provided engineered drawings and specifications. We are a steel processing and fabrication company, not a structural engineering consultant. If your project needs engineering input, that is coordinated by your design team.
What structural steel components do you process?
We process splice plates, brace plates, base plates, gusset plates, steel shims, custom brackets, structural angles, and beam and channel processing for structural steel companies and commercial construction projects.
