Comprehensive Metal Fabrication for Melbourne Trade & Construction

Most fabricators specialise in one metal. A.C. Steel works across the full spectrum - mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and specialty alloys - under one roof at our Keysborough workshop. That means faster turnaround, single-point quoting, and consistent quality across mixed-metal projects. We're a fabricator and installer, not a raw materials supplier - send us your drawings or a sketch with dimensions.

Mild Steel

Mild Steel Fabrication

Structural beams, columns, brackets, plates. 300PLUS and Grade 350 for residential, commercial, industrial. Cut, drilled, welded to your spec.

Stainless

Stainless Steel Fabrication

Food-grade 304 / 316 stainless for handrails, balustrades, kitchen benches, architectural features. TIG-welded for clean finishes.

Aluminium

Aluminium Fabrication

Lightweight aluminium for cladding panels, marine-grade applications, awnings, sliding gates. MIG-welded by certified operators.

Specialty

Specialty & Mixed-Metal Work

Galvanised steel, weathering steel (Corten), copper, brass, and mixed-metal assemblies. We source it, cut it, weld it.

Metal Fabrication Melbourne - Frequently Asked Questions

8 of the most common questions Melbourne builders, designers, and trade clients ask us.

What's the difference between metal fabrication and steel fabrication?
Metal fabrication is the broader term - it covers steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, and other metals. Steel fabrication specifically refers to mild/structural steel work. A.C. Steel handles both, using the appropriate welding process for each metal type (TIG for stainless and aluminium, MIG / stick for structural steel).
Do you fabricate stainless steel in Melbourne?
Yes. We work with 304 (general purpose) and 316 (marine/food-grade) stainless steel for handrails, balustrades, commercial kitchen benches, food processing equipment, and architectural features. TIG-welded for clean, pickle-free finishes.
Can you fabricate aluminium components?
Yes - MIG and TIG welded aluminium for cladding panels, marine applications (5083 / 5086 grades), architectural awnings, and gates. We also coordinate powder-coating through supplier partners.
How much does metal fabrication cost in Melbourne?
Cost varies by metal type, complexity, quantity, finish, and installation requirements - every job is quoted individually. Mild steel work is generally less expensive than stainless steel or aluminium, which require different welding processes, materials, and finishing. Email your drawings or sketch with dimensions to info@acsteelconstruction.com.au or call 0431 885 854 for a free, no-obligation written quote tailored to your project.
Do you offer trade pricing for regular customers?
We work with builders, designers, and manufacturers on a project-by-project basis and are happy to discuss arrangements for repeat business. Contact us with your typical job profile and we'll talk through what works for both sides.
Can you handle large fabrication jobs?
Yes - our workshop is equipped to handle large structural components. For builds that exceed standard workshop dimensions or lifting capacity, we modularise the design and assemble on site with mobile crane coordination. Send us your drawings or design brief and we'll confirm what's achievable in-house versus what would need additional logistics.
What lead time should I expect?
Lead times vary by project size, complexity, material availability, and current workshop bookings. Smaller residential-scale jobs typically turn around faster than larger commercial or industrial projects. Rush jobs may be accommodated depending on capacity - call us to discuss your timeline.
Do you supply only, or fabricate and install?
Both. Most clients prefer fabricate + install for structural steel and architectural projects. Supply-only works for trade clients with their own installation crews. We're transparent about pricing for each option in your quote. We don't sell raw steel sections (we're not a steel supplier) - we fabricate finished components.
