Metal sourcing, coming in 2027

Metal for your project, sourced the same day.

Plate, sheet, bar, tube and shapes from our network of Canadian metal suppliers, cut to size if you need it and delivered anywhere in Canada. You send your list, we send one offer, and you never deal with a supplier.

FormsCut to sizeMill test reportsDeliveryWho it’s for

  • We own no stock

    We buy for your request across our network of Canadian metal suppliers.

  • Sourced the same day

    Once your request is exact, we source it that day.

  • One offer, from us

    You deal with CanadaFab, never with a supplier.

  • Mill test reports

    With the heat number and the country of melt, when you need them.

How it works

From your list to one offer, the same day.

We read your list, ask what’s missing and settle the exact request with you. Then we source it across our network and send one price for the lot, with the delivery date.

  1. Your list, in your words

    Paste it, upload a spreadsheet, a PDF or a photo, or add lines one by one.

The questions

We ask what your list leaves out.

Every line needs a grade, a temper, a size, a length or cut size and a quantity. When your list leaves one out, we ask, with the likely answers to pick from, until the request is exact. A person at our desk confirms every exact request before we source it.

  • “6061 plate: T6 or T651?”
  • “Is 1/2 in the thickness?”
  • “Random lengths, or cut to 24 in?”
  • “Mill finish, or with protective film?”

Your answers update the lines as you go, and you can edit the exact list before you send it.

The offer

One offer, from us, with the date it arrives.

Once your request is exact, we source it and send one offer: a price for each line, freight to your site as its own line, tax by the delivery province and the total in Canadian dollars. It never names a supplier.

  • The delivery commitment: the day, the window and the truck your site needs
  • What ships with it, such as mill test reports with the country of melt
  • The date it holds until, since metal prices move
  • Accept it by card, pre-authorized debit or purchase order, and it’s an order

Mill test reports

Mill test reports, and the melt your contract needs.

Melt requirement

On each request, or as your account’s default.

Every heat has its mill test report, with the heat number and the country of melt. We file them on your order, and you set the melt requirement on the request or as your account’s default.

Federal Buy Canadian counts steel as Canadian only if it was melted and poured in Canada, and aluminum only if it was smelted and cast here. Cutting or machining it in Canada doesn’t change that, so we source to the requirement you set and the reports show it. See what counts under Buy Canadian.

  • Mill test reports on one request, or on every order by default
  • The country of melt on every report, whatever it is

Delivery

Delivered to your dock, your shop or your site.

Your delivery sites live on your account with their receiving details, so the offer’s delivery date, vehicle and liftgate fit the site. You give them once.

  • A loading dock

    A dock or a forklift on site: the carrier backs in and you unload.

  • No dock: a liftgate

    No dock and no forklift: we book a truck with a liftgate, and the offer says so.

  • Residential sites

    Homes, farms and job sites, booked as a residential delivery on the offer.

  • Hours and a contact

    Your receiving hours, access notes and a site contact go to the carrier with the booking.

Who it’s for

For fabricators, contractors, machine shops and manufacturers.

Companies and individuals, makers included, anywhere in Canada. Tell us what kind of buyer you are once, and every request fits it.

  • Fabricators

    Plate, tube, angle and channel for the next job, cut to your cut list and delivered to the shop.

  • Machine shops

    Bar and plate cut to blank sizes, with the certificates your customer asks for.

  • Contractors

    Structural steel, pipe and sheet delivered to the site, with a liftgate where there’s no dock.

  • Manufacturers

    Metal for production runs and one-off jobs, with the reports and the melt your contracts need.

  • Makers

    Small lists for your own projects, delivered to a home or a shop.

  • Machined from your metal

    Need parts made from it? A metal request can become a CNC job, with the metal already on the quote.

Questions

Before you send a list.

Do you hold any stock?

No. We own no stock. We buy for each request from our network of Canadian metal suppliers, so you get the grade and size you need.

How fast do you source a request?

The same day for an exact request confirmed before 13:00 on a business day, in your time zone: our offer comes by 17:00. Later ones get it by noon the next business day.

What can I send as a list?

Whatever you have: a list pasted from an email, a spreadsheet, a PDF or a photo of a handwritten list, or lines typed one by one. We read it and ask about anything missing.

Will I know which supplier the metal comes from?

No. Your offer, order and invoice come from CanadaFab and never name a supplier. The mill test reports travel with the metal, with its heat number and country of melt.

What’s on the offer?

A price for each line, delivery to your site as its own line, tax by the delivery province and the total in Canadian dollars, with the delivery date and how long the offer holds. See how an offer is built.

What do you need to know about the delivery site?

Whether it’s a commercial or residential address, whether there’s a loading dock or a forklift, whether the truck needs a liftgate, and your receiving hours. It lives on your account, so you give it once.

Can a metal request become a CNC job?

Yes. Tell us you want parts machined from it, and it becomes a CNC quote with the metal already on it. See CNC machining.

Can I pay on terms?

Yes. Accept the offer by card, pre-authorized debit or purchase order, and approved accounts pay 30 days after the invoice.

Send us your list today.

Paste it, upload it or type it line by line. We settle the exact request with you and send one offer the same day.
