Selected creative construction work

Beyond the Big Screen

Welding, carpentry, scenic construction, exhibits, specialty fabrication, and field installation for people who need something unusual made real.

Construction · Custom fabrication · Field installation

Custom-built for the problem. Executed in the field.

Whether it’s integrating structural steel around delicate broadcast technology, fabricating realistic architectural surfaces, such as a section of cement block wall, that can roll across a soundstage, or turning our work truck into a custom rigging system to pull off a remote installation—the mission is always the same: find a solution and make it happen.

We specialize in the builds that don’t fit a conventional workflow. When traditional methods aren’t practical, we invent the workaround. We bring the crew, the tools, and the field-ready equipment directly to the problem. Working fluidly across many media types such as steel, wood, foam, and concrete, we build in the shop, adapt on the fly, and carry the work flawlessly through final strike.

Welding & metal fabrication

Custom metalwork. Absolute structural integrity.

We fabricate steel built for the real world. When a project demands custom metalwork, we handle everything from one-off structural supports to large-scale, multi-piece fabrication runs.

We don’t just build fragile showpieces. We build heavy-duty frames, bases, stairs, and scratch-built rigs engineered for how they will actually be transported, serviced, and abused in the field. Whether we are fabricating a completely original build or building you 10 more of those stands you already have, our mandate is simple: make it uncompromising, make it functional, and make it solve the problem perfectly.

Carpentry · Scenic construction · Production flats

From a single flat to a full-scale environment.

Hollywood-style flats, stage scenery, platforms, structures, and specialty wood pieces for film, churches, schools, drama programs, exhibits, and events.

We don’t just build a flat; we build entirely new environments. From a single, precision-built Hollywood flat to a sprawling, immersive village built right inside a modern foyer, we specialize in making the impossible look completely authentic. Whether it requires carving custom foam to mimic heavy stone, retrofitting an existing structure to look decades older, or framing heavy-duty stage platforms, we bridge the gap between creative vision and physical reality. You bring the sketch, the stage dimensions, or the crazy idea. We build your vision.

Museum & exhibit construction

Built for the story—and the people walking through it.

Project experience includes the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., Voice of the Martyrs, and the Tulsa Air and Space Museum.

We can support curators, exhibit designers, and specialty contractors with structural carpentry, steel, foam, lath, scenic surfaces, installation, and field coordination. The assignment can be one specialty component or hands-on leadership within a much larger environment.

Industrial problem-solving

When there is no off-the-shelf answer.

Rolling racks, gates, guards, bases, jigs, carts, repairs, material-handling pieces, and one-off mechanisms made around the space and workflow already in place.

Facilities do not stop operating just because the catalog has no answer. We can study the need, design a practical response, fabricate it, and install it—giving the client a solution built around the actual problem instead of an almost-right product everyone has to work around.

Brand activations · Nationwide field work

Fabricated, installed, and ready for the public.

Selected field work has supported public-facing programs involving Toyota, Vail Resorts, Bass Pro Shops, Carhartt, Zebco, Under Armour, and Husky.

National programs need a field partner who can protect the idea while adapting to real sites, weather, schedules, and finish standards. We bring shop-built components to the field, lead or support the installation crew, make responsible modifications when conditions change, and get the experience ready for the public.

Have something unusual to build?

Bring the idea. We’ll help solve the build.

Tell us what it needs to do, where it needs to go, and when it needs to be ready.
