Review Their Training Program!
As a steel fabricator, you already know the importance of obtaining timely and accurate drawings—your operations can’t run profitably without them.
But if you don’t have a go-to steel detailer you trust, finding a quality firm that meets all of your criteria can be challenging. However, you can sift through your options much faster by asking one simple question—
What does this detailer’s in-house training program look like?
While some steel detailers don’t have high visibility into their in-house training and continued education programs, reviewing a detailer’s in-house employee training should always be a critical early step in your detailer selection process.
Here’s why this step reveals critical insights about a detailer’s overall quality:
- Looking at a detailer’s training program shows you the team’s specific capabilities, along with the extent of their training in detailing theory, methods, processes, and best practices.
- By reviewing staff training programs, you’ll be able to gauge the extent of hands-on training team members undergo, as the breadth and depth of a detailing team’s experience translates directly to your operations.
- The detailer’s training program reveals the level of investment ownership places in their staff’s detailing competence and career advancement
- This step also helps you determine whether the detailing staff is up-to-date on industry standards and emerging technologies.
Carefully reviewing a detailer’s in-house training program can give you a much better understanding of the team’s specific skill set and experience before you award a contract. No fabricator should ever skip this step.
