Alumination Opens Doors Serving Subcontractors Nationwide

Our ITB (Invitation To Bid) Process

At Arch-Fab, we take great pride in providing end-to-end architectural metal solutions, but where do they start? With an Invitation To Bid (ITB)! Our Preconstruction Specialists are specially trained to review each ITB we receive and thoughtfully determine if we’re the right fit for the project. See how our process works.

Who is the Customer?

When we receive an ITB, we evaluate the general contractor who submitted it, our history and relationship together as well as people we know in their business as we seek to determine alignment.

What Type of Project is it?

Next, we consider the vertical segment to ensure that we are undertaking projects that best align with our particular areas of expertise, allowing us to provide maximum value to our trade partners and their clients.

What is the Scope?

As a specialty solutions provider, it is crucial that we take the time to determine design intent by reviewing project plans and specifications. When we determine that we are specified on the project, that we’re capable of performing the project to our standards, and/or can add value by providing alternative solutions the client may not have considered, we proceed to the final step.

Where is the Project Located?

We provide solutions to our trade partners throughout the continental US, most often performing turnkey services (design, manufacturing, and installation) closer to home and “ship to site” when installation by our team isn’t required or feasible. Once again, our goal is to maximize value, and we are always happy to discuss how to do just that whether you’re right down the road, or halfway across the country!

If you are looking for a trusted partner for exterior sunshade or metal solutions, explore our products and learn more about us. If you think we are a good fit for your project, give us a call at 817.926.7270 or request a quote today!

Aide De Camp, 2023

Arch-Fab Leadership Development Program

“Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.”
– John F. Kennedy

Arch-Fab’s Annual “Aide De Camp” Leadership Development Program provides our emerging leaders the opportunity to advance their skill sets through external coaching, internal mentorship, and cross training in core business functions and processes.

In the United States Army, Aide-De-Camp appointees serve as confidential assistants to senior level officers, specifically general grade officers. This tour of duty typically lasts two years and exposes these officers to broader leadership roles and responsibilities.

The candidates selected from our application and interview panel process will spend the 2023 calendar year working with Jeff Cash, Arch-Fab’s President, to prioritize, plan and execute on strategic objectives within our business. In the upcoming year, our efforts will be centered around improving our Customer Experience.

We will dive into the best books ever written on the topic of customer service to prepare our minds to attend our external training at the Disney Institute to learn their Approach to Quality Service. Aide-De-Camp will utilize this new expertise to develop actionable plans to implement in our Customer Experience.

All this will be done with the goal of making Architectural Fabrication a better company to work for and with.

“Customer Experience is foundational to our organization’s long term success. We will work as a team to evaluate the people, processes, and systems in each customer facing step of our Project Life Cycle and improve them. Aide De Camp will consult with our best customers to ensure that their feedback is incorporated into the solutions that we deliver.”
– Jeff Cash
