Steel-Plus

What Steel-Plus does

Steel-Plus LLC is a privately held, Alabama-based structural steel fabricator headquartered in Ider, founded during the recession by Jim Hicks, Jeff Haymon, and Brad Jacoway. The company sells structural and miscellaneous steel fabrication, steel joists and steel deck, steel erection services, and streamlined CNC fabrication to construction buyers in the southeastern United States (Georgia and Alabama). Documented project work includes K-8 schools (Belair K-8 in Augusta, GA; Cross Keys North Elementary in Doraville, GA), a performing arts center (Columbia County, Evans, GA), and a specialized university commission (UAH Swirll Sweeping Stair in Huntsville, AL).

Operations rely on an advanced CNC equipment fleet — the PCD1100 CNC Drill and DG1250 CNC Saw (powered by Siemens Smart Spindle motors), the ABCM CNC Coping Machine (three-torch oxy-fuel system), and PeddiWriter CNC Scribers (Hypertherm plasma) — coordinated through Tekla PowerFab project management software. The company is an American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Certified Building Fabricator and a member of the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) and the American Welding Society (AWS). Staff headcount is in the 11-50 range and the company claims '100's of years of combined industry experience.'

The business model is one-time, project-based, and bid-driven: each engagement is custom-quoted based on project specifications, with no recurring revenue stream or disclosed standard pricing. Distribution is exclusively direct — Steel-Plus bids directly on construction projects with general contractors, project owners, and construction managers, with marketing limited to a website portfolio, Facebook page, and trade association involvement. There are no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no disclosed revenue figures in the available record.
