We Collaborate on Commercial Projects, Big and Small
Madden Fabrication has provided custom metal fabrication services in Portland for commercial contractors for over three decades. We can fabricate custom metalwork solutions from start to finish, including assistance with the final design stages to kick off the fabrication process.
The Role of Metal Fabrication in the Commercial Construction Industry
Metal fabrication is one of the major components of commercial construction, transforming raw materials into the steel beams, supports, and panels that define our skylines.
It bridges creativity and engineering and ensures precision, strength, and adaptability, allowing architects to dream big and builders to confidently complete their projects.
From crafting custom components to mass-produced essentials, metal fabrication fuels efficiency and sustainability in modern construction. Metal fabrication provides the durability that forms the foundation of every commercial project—allowing the project to stand the test of time.
Benefits of Metal Fabrication in Commercial Construction
Custom metal fabrication allows architects and contractors to bring bold visions to life. Customized designs can meet unique project needs, blending functionality and aesthetics for truly one-of-a-kind commercial projects. Unlike buy-out products, custom-fabricated metal components are designed to fit precise specifications, which allows for greater design freedom and proper functionality.
Customization
Custom metal fabrication ensures commercial structures withstand time, weather, and heavy use. Metals like steel and aluminum resist wear, corrosion, and extreme weather, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding environments. The unmatched strength and reliability of customized metal fabrication minimizes maintenance costs and reduces the need for frequent replacements, making it a cost-effective choice for contractors.
Durability
Precision in metal fabrication ensures that every metal component fits perfectly, meeting the exact specifications and tolerances required for long-term functionality. For commercial contractors, this level of accuracy translates to seamless installations, reduced material waste, and staying on budget and project timelines. Precision also enhances project integrity, ensuring the final product is as structurally sound as possible.
Precision
Metal fabrication is a sustainable option that offers commercial contractors eco-friendly solutions without compromising quality or performance. Metals like steel and aluminum are recyclable. Using them reduces environmental impact and material waste. Energy-efficient production processes and reusing scrap materials also contribute to greener construction practices.

Your Commercial Construction Metal Fabrication FAQs Answered by Our Expert Fabricators
Do we have to submit our project through a bidding system?
No! Although we do bid on projects through an open commercial project bidding system, you can also reach out to us directly via phone or our online contact form to get started on your project. We value our client relationships and our goal is always to turn every project into a lifetime of projects.
How do you ensure the final product will meet code requirements?
We are familiar with local and state building codes and will work with all stakeholders to make sure everyone is on the same page before kicking off a new project.
Do you work with subcontractors?
Yes! We’ll work with anyone involved in a commercial construction project, including general contractors, subcontractors, project managers, engineers, and architects. We value collaboration and can facilitate communication and project execution among any stakeholders necessary.
Do you offer all metal fabrication services in-house?
We can typically complete most aspects of our metal fabrication projects in-house, but we do have relationships with other fabricators who can facilitate any part of the process we don’t offer in-house. You will not need to source any services on your own.
