Structural Steel Erection

Erection-only pricing is typically quoted per ton of structural steel and depends on tonnage, connection type (bolted vs. welded), crane strategy, site access, and prevailing wage requirements. Simple bolted PEMB frames on an open site cost less per ton than heavily welded moment frames on a constrained urban site. Prestige quotes every job from the actual structural drawings — call (435) 357-1964 for a project-specific number.

A 20,000–50,000 sq ft single-story warehouse or PEMB is usually erected in 3–6 weeks once steel starts arriving. Multi-story or heavily braced structures run 8–16 weeks. Weather, crane availability, and fabricator delivery timing are the biggest schedule risks — we build a piece-by-piece sequence during preconstruction.

Fabrication happens in a shop: cutting, drilling, welding, and coating raw steel into finished columns, beams, and trusses. Erection happens on your job site: unloading those finished pieces, hoisting them with a crane, plumbing the frame, and bolting or welding the final connections. Prestige is the erector — we coordinate closely with your fabricator but do not fabricate the primary structural package.

Yes. Prestige regularly erects PEMB packages from all major manufacturers — receiving and sorting the kit, setting primary rigid frames, hanging purlins and girts, and installing wall and roof panels in the sequence the manufacturer specifies. See our pre-engineered buildings service for details.

Every project runs under a written, site-specific erection plan aligned with OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart R — the U.S. standard for steel erection. That includes 100% fall protection above 15 ft, Controlled Decking Zones with trained deckers, daily crane and rigging inspections, and a qualified signal person on every pick.

Yes. On fast-track jobs we work directly with the fabricator on piece marks and delivery sequencing so trucks arrive in erection order, run larger raising gangs, and phase decking and detailing crews behind the raising gang to compress the schedule.

From single-story PEMB warehouses in the 10,000 sq ft range up to multi-story schools, distribution centers, and long-span venues. If a project involves cranes, ironworkers, and structural steel, it's in our scope.

Yes. In addition to primary structural framing, our crews install steel joists and joist girders for floor and roof systems and light-gauge steel stud framing for non-load-bearing walls and partitions.

Prestige is based in Cedar City, Utah and licensed to perform steel erection across Utah, Arizona, Idaho, Washington State, and Montana. Our crews travel to job sites throughout the Mountain West.

Ironworker experience with the specific structure type, a written safety and erection plan aligned with OSHA Subpart R, references on similar-scope projects, transparent line-item pricing, and tight coordination with your fabricator and GC.
