Fabrication
What happens to steel between manufacture and final delivery to a construction project site. Steel fabricators transform basic sections into fabricated beams and columns for erection on site.

Construction
The versatility of steel ensures that it is used in many applications. In this module, we will consider two forms of construction – multi-storey buildings and industrial sheds. The construction techniques shown are representative of steel construction and can be used by the designer for any construction application
