Steel & Ironwork
Steel erection is crane-bound and tightly sequenced, so one short crew can hold up the whole structure and every trade stacked behind it. SKILLS connects steel and ironwork businesses to post Crew Needed or Crew Available for structural steel erectors, ornamental iron, rebar and reinforcing, miscellaneous metals, metal stairs, and metal decking. Coverage Offers carry the scope and rate, guardrails keep pricing fair, and accepting locks an audit-logged Work Agreement.

Steel & Ironwork on SKILLS
What steel and ironwork specialties can I post for?
You can post Crew Needed or Crew Available for structural steel erectors, ornamental iron, rebar and reinforcing, miscellaneous metals, metal stairs, and metal decking, among others. SKILLS is built for the execution phase, so it is for staffing and finishing steel work you have already won, not bidding on projects you are still chasing.
How fast can I cover a structural steel crew gap?
Post a Crew Needed listing with your trade, crew size, location, and schedule, and nearby steel and ironwork businesses can send Coverage Offers immediately. You counter, accept, or decline, and accepting creates a Work Agreement on the spot, so an erection or rebar gap can be covered the same day rather than holding the crane and the sequence behind it.
Can I check a steel crew's insurance and certifications first?
Yes. Every org keeps a Compliance Vault with COIs, licenses, and certifications, and verification tiers run Basic, Trusted, then Verified Pro. Given how high-risk steel erection is, you can confirm a crew's coverage and credentials before accepting their Coverage Offer instead of finding out something lapsed after they are already on the iron.
