Designs into metal, metal into buildings

Our architectural metal fabrication work runs from simple shapes to custom assemblies that combine laser cutting, CNC machining, forming, welding, and assembly. That makes AST equipped for the most complex architectural design applications in the Dallas area — panels, screens, features, and one-off installations.

Behind it is a staff with more than 100 combined years of experience across programming, engineering, and the shop floor — and a quality process that runs from quoting to first-piece approvals to shipping the finished goods.

Common questions

Architectural metal fabrication FAQs

Can you work directly with architects and designers from concept?

Yes — bring drawings, CAD files, or concept sketches. Our programmers and engineers help resolve the design for fabrication before anything is cut, and prototypes can be produced to prove a detail.

What kinds of architectural metalwork do you fabricate?

Custom architectural metal panels and screens, routed features, formed and welded elements, and complete custom assemblies — from simple shapes to complex one-off installations like outdoor fireplaces and feature walls.

What materials and finishes are available?

Steel, stainless, aluminum, copper, brass, and Corten, with painting, plating, and anodizing managed through our vetted partner network on the same PO.

Do you handle one-offs or production runs?

Both — a single signature installation and a repeating panel system go through the same quoting and quality process, including first-piece approval.

Do you deliver architectural metal fabrication outside Dallas?

Yes — throughout Dallas–Fort Worth, plus Waco, Austin, Mineral Wells, and Houston. Mention delivery on your quote request.

Send us your design

Drawings, CAD files, or a concept sketch — we will resolve it for fabrication and come back with price and lead time.
