Southern Structural Steel, inc. is a full-service steel provider which furnishes and installs all structural steel, joist and decking, and miscellaneous stairs and railings with very competitive pricing and fast delivery.

We have the capability to receive all drawings for your project contract or shop drawings and provide Approval drawings electronically for quicker turnarounds and faster steel delivery. Once drawings are approved, fabrication can begin in our state-of-the-art production facility.

Southern Structural Steel, inc. also has a Steel Sales Warehouse and Rebar Fabrication division at our Newport News location.

Founded in 1977 by Tim Richman in Newport News
Smithfield division opened in 1997 and is now our primary structural fabrication plant
Fully automated fabrication shop
Estimating and project managing teams handle projects from 10 tons to 1000 tons or greater
CNC fully automated equipment gives us one of the most efficient facilities around and allows us to handle larger projects with aggressive schedules by cutting down on shop time

General Contractors please note that we also have a runner who works daily AT NO CHARGE TO YOU to drop off/pick up drawings for Approval, Approved as Noted, as well as for job quotes. This option is more convenient than mailing drawings when sending them electronically is not an option. Our runner goes from South Side (Virginia Beach/Chesapeake) all the way to Richmond to expedite delivery of these drawings and allow for quicker turnarounds.

Call either an estimator or project manager when you have something ready for pickup, and we can have the runner there either that day or the next, depending on work load. Our runner also makes urgent deliveries, such as anchor bolts for a concrete pour, or anything else that a jobsite absolutely has to have ASAP.
