Structural steel · Fabrication + erection · Since 1955

From drawing to final bolt.

We draw, fabricate, and erect structural steel for general contractors along the Southeast coast. Our shop drawings are done in-house and our own crews set the steel, so it's one contract from start to finish. Most of our jobs run 1 to 100 tons.

One point of responsibility

One contract.
One schedule. One call.

When fabrication and erection are split between two subs, fit-up problems turn into finger-pointing and your schedule takes the hit. We own the steel from shop drawings to the last bolt, so nothing gets lost between them.

01 / DETAIL

In-house shop drawings

Our own detailers turn your structural set into shop drawings, from moment frames to spiral stairs. You're not waiting in an outside detailer's queue, and questions get answered down the hall.

Fabrication

We cut, bend, roll, and weld in a 50,000 sq ft Brunswick shop. The welding is AWS D1.1 certified.

03 / ERECT

Erection

Our own crews set the steel, then clear out so the next trade can get to work. Nothing gets handed off to a sub you've never met.

Why GCs call Griffis

Right-sized for your job.

Big shops chase big tonnage. A 25-ton school addition or gas station canopy is our main work, not something squeezed in between larger jobs.

  • 01

    Built for 1 to 100 tons

    Our average job is about 25 tons, so jobs your size get our full attention and our best crews.

  • 02

    Drawings done in-house

    Shop drawings, fabrication, and erection all happen under one roof, so RFIs and revisions don't bounce between three companies.

  • 03

    Our own erection crews

    The people who built it are the people who set it. When something needs a field fix, our own crew handles it.

  • 04

    Room to stage your steel

    With 50,000 sq ft of shop, we can fabricate ahead and hold your steel until the site is ready, instead of shipping it to sit in the mud.

  • 05

    70 years, same family

    Griffis Steel has been in Brunswick since 1955 and is now run by the third generation. We'll be here for the punch list and the next job.

The shop

50,000 square feet. Real iron.

These are the machines behind your steel. With heavy press and roll capacity and two CNC plasma tables, work that other shops would send out stays in our building, from long-span trusses to finished spiral stairs.

What we do

Four ways we work.

Structural steel for general contractors is our core business. The same shop also builds stairs and railings, keeps local plants running, and takes on custom jobs other shops turn down.
