Since 1982, Advanced Building & Fabrication has paired heavy-duty horsepower with precision craftsmanship. We’re the shop you call when the parts are big, the tolerances are tight, and the timeline is short. From state-contract infrastructure to iconic public art, we take projects from CAD to crane—engineered, fabricated, finished, and installed.

What we do

We run end-to-end metal fabrication under one roof: abrasive water-jet and laser cutting, certified welding (MIG, TIG, laser), robotic welding for repeatability and throughput, and bending/forming on a 350-ton press. Our full CNC machine shop supports tight-tolerance features and fixtures, while in-house 3D printing lets us prototype, prove fit, and accelerate tooling before we cut metal.

Scale + capability

Our facility is built for oversized work: a 52′ × 325′ bridge crane moves large assemblies safely and efficiently; one of the largest water-jets on the West Coast handles thick plate and specialty materials. We keep a stocked yard of steel, stainless, aluminum, and specialty alloys so jobs can start immediately.

• Cutting: Abrasive water-jet cutting up to 4″ steel. High-speed laser cutting for crisp precision and repeatable profiles. We also cut glass, plastics, wood, marble, and granite for multi-material projects. 

• Welding: Certified MIG/TIG/laser welding across carbon, stainless, and aluminum; robotic welding for production runs and consistent quality.

• Bending & forming: Precision bends and complex forms on our 350-ton press, plus rolling and custom tooling as required.

• Machining & additive: Full CNC machining and 3D printing (plastics, rubber, carbon fiber) to prototype, iterate, and deliver.

• CAD & DFM: We model in CAD, collaborate on design-for-manufacture, and produce jigs/fixtures to de-risk builds and shorten lead times.

Field work, fast work

We specialize in emergency response and quick-turn work. Rigging-certified field crews handle on-site delivery and installation, shutdown support, and heavy lifts. Clear schedules, parallel workflows, and in-house capabilities keep critical paths short.

Quality & safety

From first cut to final inspection, our processes focus on reliability: fit-ups verified against CAD, documented WPS for welding, and practical QA checkpoints. We build to spec, communicate clearly, and stand behind what leaves our shop.

Results

Whether it’s precision components for public infrastructure, sanitary stainless for industrial use, or large-scale architectural pieces including headline public art our goal is simple: parts that fit, welds that hold, and finishes that look right from every angle.
