Why AISC Certification Matters
A Requirement for Bidding on Major Projects
AISC Certification is a powerful asset when bidding for public projects, government work, or infrastructure builds where third-party quality validation is non-negotiable. Many general contractors and government entities now require AISC Certification as a prerequisite-and in many cases, it's the only way to prequalify.
Stronger Operations and Fewer Costly Mistakes
AISC Certification provides a framework that helps steel contractors standardize operations, prove their credibility to clients, and avoid costly delays or rework. For companies wondering how to get AISC certified or how to become AISC certified, understanding and implementing the AISC quality certification program is the essential first step.
A Competitive Differentiator That Wins Work
Achieving certification shows your commitment to quality and continuous improvement. It demonstrates your ability to meet the AISC certified fabricator requirements and deliver consistent results. For many contractors, AISC status is a minimum qualification. Without it, you may be excluded from bid opportunities.
Aligned with Auditor Expectations and Industry Standards
Certification strengthens internal processes, improves discipline, and aligns your company with the American Institute of Steel Construction's Standard for Certification Programs (AISC 207) and AWS standards. This includes inspection procedures, material traceability, welding documentation, bolt installation, and final project closeout.
Companies listed on the official AISC certified fabricators list or AISC certified erectors list have demonstrated these systems to third-party auditors. A well-functioning quality management system (QMS) minimizes rework, maximizes productivity, and increases long-term project success.
The certification process also improves role clarity, documentation consistency, and communication between the shop, field, and office. It's not just a checkbox-it's a transformation of how your business performs under pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How long does AISC certification take?
A: Most clients complete the AISC certification process in 3-5 months using our full-service certification support. Timelines vary depending on your shop's readiness, project scope, and whether you're pursuing fabricator, erector, or endorsement-level certification.
Q: What's the difference between Fabricator and Erector certification?
A: Fabricator certification covers shop-based steel production and welding processes, while erector certification applies to field installation and structural steel erection work. Most structural steel contractors pursuing public or DOT projects require both certifications to fully qualify.
Q: Do I need AISC certification to bid on large contracts?
A: Yes. Without AISC certification, you're often disqualified from bidding-especially on work for government agencies, DOT projects, and large general contractors. Certification is a pre-qualifier, not an afterthought.
Q: What if I already failed an AISC audit?
A: We specialize in AISC audit recovery services. From root-cause analysis to corrective action planning, we help you fix the underlying issues and pass your next audit with confidence-fast.
