WHY ARCIFAB?
When the drawing changes, the package on the floor should change with it, and the system that makes that happen should be yours. That is why we created ARCIFAB.
Delivered in 90 days.
We walk your floor, set the system up around how you deliver, and put your name on it. After that, it is yours.

YOUR OWN SYSTEM
A system you own outright, created for your processes and your data.
The system carries your company’s name and branding, and it is set up for your shop alone.
Every hand, foreman and PM you add is another line on a per-seat invoice. On an ARCIFAB system the price does not move when you add a login.
Two days on site at launch, an hour of training every month for your new hires, and two years of development and maintenance with every system. Nobody will ask you to explain your trade.
Contractors working on data centers, chip plants, government work and other secure facilities are expected to protect project data. This is how the system does it.
Each shop runs in its own dedicated system. Your data does not share a database with any other contractor.
Single sign-on, and only the people you authorize get in.
When you connect another tool, it comes in through a protected API. Nothing else gets a door into your system.
WHAT IT RUNS
We have tracked pipe, duct, conduit and steel in one system, so we already speak your shop’s language.
Pipe
Commercial, industrial and oil and gas. Spools, hangers and the rack ship on the same truck, with a weld map that matches what the welder ran.
Pipe spool tracking
Sheet metal
Track what came off the coil against what got nested, and every duct run ships with its fittings.
Sheet metal fabrication
Electrical
Conduit, gear and prefab ship kitted by area, so the crew opens one box per pull.
Electrical prefab tracking
Fire protection
Mains, branch lines and drops cut from the drawings and tagged for the floor they hang on.
Fire sprinkler fabrication
Structural steel
Tekla, STEP, PDF and CSV in, every piece mark tracked, and loads shipped in erection sequence.
Structural steel fabrication
GC self-perform
Your self-perform crews, shops and subs on one schedule, with no seat to buy for each sub.
GC self-performThese are six examples. Whatever your shop fabricates, we will create a way to track it.
THE JOBS YOU BID
We work with some of the largest project owners in the world. Their jobs run on sequence, traceability and protected data, and so does your ARCIFAB system.
Racks, skids and prefab assemblies shipped in the order each hall goes in, with every piece traceable when commissioning asks.
Hospitals, chip plants and labs, where one late or wrong piece stops the job. Hold points, QC records and turnover ready before the walkdown.
Your data in its own system behind single sign-on, never in a database with another contractor, and the records an inspector asks for in one place.
Several shops and yards, thousands of pieces, one schedule. Every load in install and erection sequence, every cert with its material.
HOW WE START
Three 30-day steps and two visits to your shop. Then we spend the next 21 months perfecting it for your operation.
We walk your floor and document how your shop runs today, from the estimate to the last piece out the door. You get a plan and a proposal written for your operation.
On-site visit 1We set up the system around that plan, put your name on it and load your data into it.
We deliver it, train the people who will use it and go live on your floor.
On-site visit 2An hour of training every month for new hires, and changes made as your shop needs them. We host it and keep it running.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT
We ran multi-trade fabrication shops and managed the data behind them. The tools we needed were never on the market, so we created them.
WHAT WE DO
Your shop manager, foreman and QC open these screens every day.
Your logo and your colors on every screen.
Your statuses, your package names, your release.
Your numbers on your own dashboard.
These are basic examples. Yours will look like your shop.
We ran shops that needed these and could not buy them.
PDFs, Revit models, STEP files, CSVs, spreadsheets and photos of sketches all come in without anyone redrawing the job.
Track drops, remnants and offcuts by job, so you stop buying material you already own.
Saws, plasma tables, coil lines and profilers run off the same cut list, and what each machine ran comes back on the piece.
The JSA gets done with the job, and the safety paperwork is finished when the work is.
Price the next bid off your own floor hours or your trade association’s labor units. ARCIFAB handles both.
IN THE FIELD
Every piece is tracked from the shop to its install. Your field foreman receives it on site and logs the install from a tablet, and the shop and the office see it right away.
NEW ON ARCIFAB
Now available in Spanish, French, Portuguese and several more.
Shop messages
Piece 4-117 is on hold. A part is missing.
La pieza 4-117 está en espera. Falta un componente.
Translated automatically for every reader
Track mechanical, sheet metal, electrical, plumbing and structural work across every shop, with a field module for the install crews.
When you add a bay, open a second facility or bring on a new machine, the system grows with you.
The system and its history stay with the shop. There is no yearly negotiation to use your own data.
What you would expect from any shop system, designed for the way a shop actually uses it.
See which package is late, which truck is loading and what is waiting on parts before the first shop employee clocks in.
See all your shops on one screen, and move a job between them without losing a single piece.
Cut sheets, markups and revisions live in one place, so detailing, the floor and the field all build from the same traveler.
And that menu goes deeper.
Every screen reads the same package, piece and release, so nobody keeps a side spreadsheet.
