FabWire is the software we built to run Mesa Fab. Bids, active jobs, drawings, transmittals, certs — the whole project, in one place, on every screen at the shop.
Most project-management software is built for general contractors. We’re a steel shop. The workflow looks nothing alike, so we wrote our own.
FabWire speaks fabricator. It knows what a takeoff is, what a transmittal is, what an NCR is. The forms look like the forms we actually use. The drawing approval stages match the ones AISC expects to see.
A bid becomes an active job in one click. The traveler, RFIs, change orders, submittals, daily reports — all stay attached to the project they belong to.
Records stay put. We’re not paying a SaaS rent to access our own job history, and nobody can sunset a feature we depend on.
When the shop needs something new, we add it. Same week, usually. There’s no support ticket queue and no quarterly release.
Estimating to invoicing, with everything that happens in between.
From the estimator’s desk to the shop floor to the field. Same project, same source of truth — different view for each role.
Estimating, project management, drawings coordination. Bids, active jobs, transmittals, and AISC documentation, all in one app.
A trimmed view of every active job — travelers, drawings, daily logs, shipping tickets. Designed for the floor: gloves on, paint everywhere, no fuss.
Erection crews see what they need: today’s sequence, today’s drawings, today’s deliveries. Job records stay current as steel goes up.
