Commercial Entry Canopy Steel Frame

This project shows the scope of work we are capable of on a large commercial development. The top photo was taken mid construction and the bottom shows the structure closer to completion with the exterior cladding on the building well underway. Our scope was the entire steel canopy structure spanning the main entry of this multi story residential building, including the large structural columns supporting it from below.

This is not decorative steel, this is load bearing structural work at a scale that requires detailed engineering coordination before a single piece gets fabricated. The canopy spans a significant distance across the building's ground floor entry and the columns are carrying that load down to the foundation. Every connection, every weld, every piece of that structure was fabricated to the engineering drawings and installed to spec.

The red primer finish you see in the construction photo is standard practice on structural steel before the finish cladding goes over it. By the time the building reached the stage shown in the bottom photo the steel had been set and signed off on long before the rest of the facade caught up to it. That is typically how it works on a project of this size, the structural steel sets the pace for everything that follows. This was a demanding job on a fast moving site and our team executed it at the level a project like this required.
