Hiring the right steel fabricator can make or break your project—literally. Whether you're planning a pre-engineered metal building or a full-scale Class-A structural steel project, asking the right questions upfront can save you time, money, and major headaches down the road.


At H&H Fabrication, we've been helping Amarillo developers, general contractors, and business owners make informed decisions since 2007.

Before you commit to your next metal fabrication partner, here are five crucial questions to ask:

1. What Experience Do You Have With My Type of Project?

Not all fabricators are created equal. You want a company with a proven track record in projects similar to yours—whether that’s commercial structural steel, pre-engineered buildings, or industrial metal fabrication.✅

At H&H, we specialize in commercial, medical, and institutional builds across the Texas Panhandle.


2. Do You Handle Both Fabrication and Installation?

Some companies only fabricate steel—they don’t touch erection or fieldwork. Others do both.✅

We offer full-scope solutions, including robotic coping, in-house fabrication, and coordination with trusted steel erection crews.


3. What Kind of Equipment and Technology Do You Use?

Modern steel fabrication should include precision robotics, CNC machines, and laser alignment systems for maximum efficiency and accuracy.✅

We utilize robotic coping and digital layout tools to reduce error and improve turnaround times.


4. Can You Meet My Timeline Without Compromising Quality?

Fabrication delays can cost thousands. Ask for a realistic timeline—and examples of how they've met deadlines before.✅

We recently turned around over 100,000 lbs. of structural steel for the Panhandle Cancer Care Center in under four weeks.


5. Are You Local and Easy to Communicate With?

Working with a local Amarillo steel fabricator gives you face-to-face access, quicker delivery, and better accountability.✅

Our team is Texas-based and proudly serves the Panhandle and surrounding regions with integrity and transparency.


Bonus Tip: Check Past Work and Client Testimonials

Don't just take their word for it—look at photos, job specs, and reviews. A quality steel fabricator should be proud to showcase their work.
