Our Capabilities

One Team.
Every Phase.

At Owen Steel, estimating, engineering and fabrication is all done under one roof. That means fewer handoffs, earlier problem-solving, and one point of accountability from contracting to project completion.

Sales and Contracting

Owen engages early and comes prepared. We've worked through complex steel projects to understand where projects run into trouble — and how to structure agreements that set things up for success from the start. Our approach is straightforward: understand the scope, price it fairly, and deliver what we commit to.

Project Management

Every Owen project has a dedicated project manager who owns the schedule and stays on top of the details, from procurement, through fabrication and delivery. Our PMs are experienced on large, complex projects and know how to keep things moving without waiting to be asked.

Engineering and Detailing

Our licensed PEs develop connections for projects of any scale — significant loads, complex geometry, tight tolerances. We hold ourselves to the highest fabrication standards in the industry and have since 1944

Fabrication

Owen Steel operates one of the largest fabrication facilities in the eastern United States — over 440,000 square feet under cranes, with single-piece lifting capacity of 70+ tons - in South Carolina. The plant sits on 27 acres, with ample space to receive mill steel and store fabricated components for the largest projects. Another plant in Wilmington, DE, is strategically located to serve the Mid-Atlantic and New York construction markets.
