Have a unique project and need a friend? Pour a whiskey. We've got you.

November 10, 2020

You’ve searched and searched for the real-life version of this idea you have in your head.
.
But who designs, fabricates and installs 38’ long by 10' tall custom rusted steel panel structures with waterjet logos and recessed, LED-lit gabian walls for reception areas? That's a lot of words AND a lot of pressure on you to get this done and done right. You are starting to get really stressed.
.
Don’t beat yourself up. Most business owners aren’t designers or general contractors and they don’t have the time to be.

You Google for hours trying to find someone who sells what you need.
You come up empty.
.
You take another route and contact a metalworker referred to you by an industry friend but he/she won’t do the gabion wall. And they won’t do corporate installation. You connect with person after person who can do a piece of what you need if given an exact set of drawings to follow.
.
But you don’t have a set of drawings.
.
And assembling the team person by person to work together is proving to be exhausting. You barely know what you’re looking for as it is. Come to think of it, you need someone who can help with that too!
.
Already, you can see you’re in over your head.
.
Fed up, you consider compromising on what you want. The stress of the search has made you anxious that you’ll hire the wrong person, spend your company’s money, and still not have what you were looking for.
.
We help people like you every single day.
.

P.S. Hey, definitely check out the video below that gives a look at what goes into a project like what we've described.

We understand your hesitation.  It's nerve wracking to hire someone you don't know and shell out lots of money with no guarantee that you'll get what you want. 

We're sharing a peek behind our curtain.  This is a one minute look at the process of bringing this corporate logo wall from design to installation.  We handled EVERYTHING on behalf of our client.  We will do the same for you.  Carry on with your life.


 

It's been awhile since we've done a press interview and it was awesome to be able to give a "shoutout" to several of our clients and our team too.

Thank you ShoutOutHTX for featuring us!

"The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and that where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?", I. Garcia from Voyage Houston.

"Wow, so many people. Close friends, family, peers in the industry, brand supporters….I mean there are a ridiculous amount of people who have kept this machine running for the last 8 years. But I guess if we were going to dedicate this shoutout to someone, there are two employees (one current, one former) who have been an integral part of building FMW|FabLab.", Hillary Waters, Creative Director at FMW.

Maybe you have a project that doesn’t fit neatly into a box.

It actually IS a bunch of boxes.  Sort of. Steel, wood, powdercoating, modularity….that's a lot to coordinate.  We've got you.
