What to Provide Your Mobile Welder
A well-prepared builder gets better results, faster turnaround, and fewer surprises. Here's what your welder needs from you:
Documents
- Structural engineering drawings (stamped) - required for all permitted structural work
- Architectural drawings showing steel elements
- Any specifications for steel grade, weld size, or finish
Site Access
- Clear site access for a truck - your welder will arrive with a fully equipped vehicle
- Forklift or crane if large steel sections need to be hoisted - confirm responsibility in advance
- On-site contact who can authorize the work scope and sign off on completion
Coordination
- Advance notice of concrete pour dates (for embedded plates and anchor bolts)
- Confirmed delivery windows for fabricated steel - schedule welding crew to follow immediately
- Communication with your general contractor so other trades don't obstruct steel work areas
