Metal fabrication services for experiential builds
Custom steel and aluminum fabrication starts in our Los Angeles shop, where every piece is welded, finished, and built for reliable use. Our work supports people safely, ships flat for easy transport, and delivers a clean look ready for stage lights, events, and installations. Send us your drawing or full project, and we’ll bring your vision to life.
Metal fabrication services transform steel, aluminum, and other metals into custom-built pieces through cutting, bending, welding, and finishing. Our fabrication process follows detailed drawings to create strong parts, frames, platforms, and structures for experiential builds. Unlike a general metal shop, we focus on production-ready metalwork designed for fast installation and safe use.
What we build in metal
Metal fabrication builds the hidden structures and standout pieces that bring experiential spaces to life. We create custom steel and aluminum work, including structural frames, platforms, stages, counters, signage, facades, sculptures, and rigging structures designed for strength, safety, and visual impact.
What our shop can handle.
Custom metal fabrication happens in our 25,000 sq ft Los Angeles shop, alongside CNC, carpentry, and scenic production teams. We build steel, aluminum, and stainless steel structures with precision welding, durable finishes, and engineering support for experiential projects, events, and installations.
What metals we work with
Metal materials for fabrication are selected based on strength, weight, durability, appearance, and project needs. We work with steel, aluminum, stainless steel, sheet metal, perforated metal, and specialty metals to create custom frames, platforms, surfaces, panels, and detailed architectural elements.
What to send us for a metal quote
Project details for metal fabrication help us create accurate drawings, plan production, and build the right solution. Share your dimensions, structural needs, finishes, installation requirements, and timeline so our team can prepare the fabrication process correctly.

How our metal fabrication process works
Metal fabrication process moves each project from initial drawings to final installation through six clear steps. Our team handles design review, engineering, cutting, welding, finishing, and delivery to create accurate, durable metalwork from start to finish.
Why experiential metalwork is different
Precision welding supports successful metal fabrication projects by considering the full build process, from production to installation. Our welding team works alongside carpentry, CNC, scenic, and install crews to create structures that are strong, practical, and ready for real-world use.

What happens next to the cut.
Cut parts rarely travel alone. These are the shops they move through next, all in the same building.
Metal fabrication questions
Monum Fab offers structural and decorative metal fabrication for experiential builds. That includes frames, platforms, counters, signage, sculptures, and rigging-ready structures in steel and aluminum. Our own team engineers, welds, finishes, and installs the work from our Los Angeles shop.
Yes. Many agencies and scenic teams only need a base, a stand, or a hanging structure. Send the drawing and we will quote the metal on its own. We can also paint, finish, or install it if you want.
Yes. Plenty of clients send us files for parts only. We also take it further if you want, sanding, sealing, painting, or assembling before it ships.
Use aluminum when the piece has to travel, hang, or be lifted by hand. Aluminum weighs about one-third as much as steel. Use steel for platforms, bases, and anything that needs weight to stay put. Steel also costs less. Many builds use both.
MIG welding feeds wire through a gun. It is fast and strong, which suits hidden structure. TIG welding is slower and more precise. TIG leaves a cleaner weld and works well on aluminum and stainless steel. We use TIG wherever a weld will be seen.
Turnaround depends on the engineering, the finish, and our shop schedule. A simple painted frame moves faster than a platform that needs stamped drawings. Send the drawing and your load-in date. We will give you a real date and tell you honestly if it works.
