How Steel Buildings Are Manufactured - Quality Control

Quality Control in the manufacture of pre-engineered steel buildings is maintained throughout the metal building manufacturing plant by department supervisors who conduct quality inspections and are responsible for all metal buildings components manufactured in their assigned manufacturing area known as a "line".

The steel building factory Booking Department reviews the steel building order and building drawings with the building purchaser. COD charges are discussed and a booking letter is sent to the purchaser setting up the projected delivery date of the steel building to the job site. The Booking Department also reviews the permit drawings with the purchaser to make sure all building details are correct.

The Drafting Department creates shop drawings for each department. The drafting department also prepares the Bill of Materials and construction drawings which are sent to the purchaser before the building is shipped.

Raw materials are ordered through the Purchasing Department. The metal building factory Receiving Department closely checks and certifies all materials as they are delivered. Factory Customer Service handles all customer concerns including component and shipment, and questions regarding the erection of the building.
