Working with Us

The Planning and Estimating Office serves as the first point of contact for customer interface. It is always a good idea to start here. The office is staffed with knowledgeable manufacturing personnel who can direct you to the services that will most efficiently satisfy your project’s requirements. Many customers are tempted to walk work directly into the technical folks performing it and while the Shops recognizes the value of this practice where appropriate, customers should be aware that work scheduled through the Planning and Estimating Office has several advantages to walk-in work.

If you have a completed design with completed drawings that you would like to have fabricated you can submit the request to the Web Job Order System. Our staff will respond with a cost estimate and delivery date. If the estimated cost is within your “Cost not to Exceed” it will go directly into fabrication. If it is more than your “Cost not to Exceed” amount, you will have the opportunity to review and resubmit with our estimated cost.
