Everything Your Shop Needs
Easy-to-use tools for better steel projects, from first estimate to final delivery.
Every active job at a glance: site, weather, progress, and the Red Flags that need a look, across all your projects.
Every assembly and piece from the model, its status in your shop's workflow, routings, holds, heat numbers, and welds, from SDS2, Tekla, or IFC.
Your shop's work by status on one board, with load against capacity week by week, so the bottleneck shows before it bites.
Plan work packages and lots on a timeline, with ship and on-site dates, and see what's late or at risk.
Material takeoffs, labor by hours, and markup on cost, then hand the award straight to the job's budget and schedule of values.
Optimized cut lists from your stock, purchase orders for what's short, receiving with heats, and an inventory that keeps itself.
Build loads from real pieces, print tickets, and get signed delivery receipts with photos from the site.
Ask and answer RFIs between companies on the job, and turn an answer into a priced change order that's approved in FabCommand.
Contracts, costs, billing, and pay applications with retainage, so every dollar owed is captured and every job's margin is clear.
Who worked where, planned ahead and recorded after, with approvals that feed each job's labor costs.
Manpower, delays, and notes from the field, with each site's weather filled in and a 7-day forecast with work warnings.
Get organized with the quality records and heat and weld traceability you need for AISC certification, all in one tool.
See the model in your browser, colored by where every piece stands, and click a member to open it.
Production, shipping, planned against actual, holds, traceability, labor, RFI and change order logs, as PDF or CSV.
Print a QR label for every piece, then scan it with any phone to open that piece and set its status.

What Our Customers Say
Real feedback from fabrication professionals using FabCommand every day.
"If you are looking for a solution to help keep your fabrication shop and/or detailing team organized and productive, I highly suggest trying out FabCommand. The FabCommand team has really taken the time to listen and implement features/suggestions we have made. In a world surrounded by large companies that only provide lip service, working with the FabCommand program and the FabCommand team has been a breath of fresh air."
American Steel Detailing, LLCRyan Wunderle, President"FabCommand bridges the gap between our detailing team and fabrication shop perfectly. The time tracking features let us see exactly where hours are going, and the financial tracking keeps us on budget. RFI tracking has streamlined our entire communication process. Having everything in one platform has eliminated the back-and-forth and confusion that used to slow us down."
Accelerated Building Solutions, Inc.Questions? We've Got Answers
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Who is FabCommand designed for?
FabCommand is built for small to medium-sized steel fabrication shops, and the detailers and erectors they work with, looking for better ways to manage their projects, teams, and profits, without the hassle or complicated setup required by other fabrication management solutions.
How much does it cost?
FabCommand is billed monthly per user, with transparent tiered pricing for different access needs: Basic seats are $15/month, Advanced $45/month, and Premier $99/month. See the pricing page for more information.
How long does it take to get set up?
Most shops are up and running within a day or two. Bring in your model from SDS2, Tekla, or IFC and start tracking right away. Either way, it's straightforward and we're here to help if you need it.
Are there any hardware or IT requirements?
FabCommand is entirely cloud-based: all you need is an internet connection and a web browser. It works on any computer, tablet, or phone, with nothing to install and no server to maintain.
What if my team isn't tech-savvy?
FabCommand was built for shop floors, not IT departments. If your team can use a smartphone, they can use FabCommand.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. While many steel fabrication software providers require annual or multi-year agreements, FabCommand has no minimum commitment. Stay because the software delivers value, not because you're locked into an agreement, and cancel anytime.
Do you integrate with our existing tools?
FabCommand reads models from SDS2, Tekla Structures and SolidWorks (with our free Fab Connector), plus PFXT, KISS and IFC files, and exports billing for QuickBooks. If you have specific integration needs, let's talk. We're always building based on customer feedback.
