Keep the Steel Fabrication Project. Lose the AESS Headaches.
When architecturally exposed structural steel becomes a distraction, Shawnee Steel steps in as your AESS partner so you can stay focused on what you do best.
AESS Isn’t Just
“More Steel”
You didn’t sign up to be an AESS specialist...but the project requires one.
- The uncertain scope of AESS eats estimating time
- Tight tolerances increase the risk of rework
- Architects expect perfection, not explanations
- One mistake can hurt your reputation for years
- Your shop is optimized for production, not museum-grade finishes
Partnership
Outsourcing AESS is a strategic move
The smartest fabricators don’t do everything. By partnering intelligently with an AESS expert, you:
- Stay the fabricator of record
- Keep the client relationship
- Reduce risk and internal strain
- Deliver a better finished product
