Tim Olah founded Kansas City Structural Steel in 1995 to bridge the gap between steel fabrication and erection. Our focus - now and always - is to support our clients with quality work, responsiveness and cost-consciousness in pursuit of a successful project. To that end, we've assembled a team of people who are truly passionate about their work and provided them with the best tools and the latest education.

Sustainability
A green approach is an essential part of who we are, from our LEED Gold manufacturing facility to how we use planning and technology to find sustainable efficiencies. So we know exactly what is takes to support a sustainably-designed project, including understanding all components of the LEED certification process.Steel’s recycled content and reclamation rate is higher than any other building material. We’re taking the next step in increasing steel’s sustainability by encouraging smart choices to reduce waste and even reuse steel. We’ll help you find strategies for efficient use of structural steel, helping your project save money and waste.

Technology
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is nothing new in the structural steel world. What makes us different is the software we use and how we use it. We use the best system out there—X-Steel by Tekla—and we use it exclusively.Because our software is created specifically for structural steel projects, we can create detailed piece-by-piece fabrication assemblies and easy-to-follow erection blueprints. And because we use only BIM 3-D software on our projects, we have total control over what the system can do. It’s an approach that will eliminate conflicts and speed production on your project.

Experience
Our team brings decades of solid experience, but also a fresh, innovative approach to finding solutions to your issues. Our in-house detailing department is one of our strongest assets, staffed with dedicated, knowledgeable technicians who work only with 3-D software.

At Kansas City Structural Steel, you’ll get quality, efficient work that fits perfectly into your project. And because we keep up to date with the latest technology and building trends, there’s never a learning curve at your expense. Because we already speak your language, we can focus on serving you and your project to the highest degree.

Services

• Structural Steel is an economical, lasting building material, offering flexibility in design and precision in construction. We fabricate and install the pieces that serve as a building’s framework, from beams and joists to decks and columns.
• Ornamental Steel isn’t just functional, it’s beautiful. While the clean angles of a structural framework has its own charms, ornamental work often attracts the most attention. From railings and stairs to a 70-foot decorative tower, our team brings flair to a facility and structure to an architect’s drawing.
• Fabrication Our exclusive use of Building Information Modeling software means that our technical capabilities have no limits. Our facility—one of the best-equipped shops in the region—delivers on the promise our software makes. It all adds up to a team that can fabricate anything your project needs.
• Decking A pre-assembled Halo© floor and roof decking system saves your project time and money. A 10-step process becomes a two-step process, cutting both installation time and system cost significantly. Contact us to see if your project can utilize Halo© in lieu of traditional bar joists.
