Asker: This company works for the construction industry, and I am wondering if architectural is too narrow here?

construction metal shop


Explanation:
This is a common term on building sites, where sheet metal, rebar, etc. is prefabricated before it is taken out to the building under construction.

(Hej Anette!)

Example sentence(s):
  • "The rebar cages were welded in the construction metal shop before being placed in the form."

Asker: Hi Ralph, this term sounds good but what is bothering me is that none of the offered terms give any convincing Google hits.

construction sheet metal company


Explanation:
Actually, the word most frequently refers to the trade itself or to the category of work. But if it is a company, that company will do most of its work directly on the construction sites (as a sub-contractor) and not have its own factory or workshop, except maybe a warehouse.
