Since its founding in 1981, TL Fab has transformed from a small miscellaneous metal shop into one of Southern California’s most respected names in structural, miscellaneous, and ornamental steel fabrication. Their success comes from a commitment to smart solutions, collaborative partnerships, and a full-service approach-including design-build engineering, project management, fabrication, and installation.

To support continued growth, TL Fab turned to a trusted name in fabrication management software: STRUMIS.

With roots in engineering and real-world fabrication, STRUMIS offers scalable, intelligent tools designed by industry experts. The software delivers real-time, precise data for greater visibility, control, and decision-making—backed by localized support with a global reach.

When TL Fab explored their options for a full-scale management system, they knew exactly what they needed—and STRUMIS delivered.

Vic O’Mara, Executive Vice President at TL Fab
"Why is STRUMIS the obvious choice for us? This was a real no-brainer. Having used the software at previous employers, the team was not only comfortable with the easy format, but already knew the ability to which the software can be adapted to suit changing circumstances.”

Adaptability that grows with you

TL Fab did their homework before choosing STRUMIS. After evaluating several alternatives, they found other platforms lacked the functionality and flexibility they needed to scale.

“We found other software the functionality was limited compared to that of STRUMIS. We can dial in the processes exactly how we want to see them, whether in the estimating module or production control. Traceability issues are non-existent and being able to see visually locations or stages of our production, is a major advantage for our project managers.”

And the benefits just keep building.

“Creating erectable packages is much quicker, and isolating the package visually in the 3D model allows much more clarity for discovering costly omissions that could prevent erection—so potentially saving us enormous expenditure.”

Just the beginning

TL Fab is already seeing strong returns, but they’re just scratching the surface of what STRUMIS can offer.

“We know we are only scratching the surface of what this software is capable of. We are excited about using it to its full potential going forward.”

At STRUMIS, that’s exactly the journey we love to see - our platform growing with our customers as they continue to evolve.
