— What We Build

Full-Service Capabilities
Ten Disciplines. One Shop.
Rabideau Fabrication is a true full-service custom metal shop. Every project moves through these disciplines under one roof — from concept and CAD to final install.
Design & Engineering
In-House CAD & 3D Design
Every build starts on the screen. We model projects in CAD before a single piece of steel is cut — so you see exactly what you're getting, with precise measurements, material lists, and fabrication plans locked in before work begins.
- ▸Full 3D modeling and rendering
- ▸Accurate material takeoffs and estimates
- ▸Design revisions before fabrication
- ▸Client approval drawings on every project
