Material supply with mill test reports
We buy, stock and track the steel for your job and supply the mill test reports that show what it is.
Steel you can trace back to the mill.
Every structural job starts with material. GIW supplies structural steel with mill test reports: the certified documents a producing mill issues for each heat of steel, recording its chemistry and mechanical test results. Inspectors and engineers use them to confirm the steel meets the specification.
We run purchasing and inventory through FabSuite steel management software, merged with some of our own internal programs. Material, estimates and production control live in one system from the day we price your job to the day it ships.
The same company buys the steel, fabricates it and manages its erection, so you have one place to ask about any piece on the job.

Common questions
Straight answers to what GCs and engineers ask us about material supply with mill test reports.
What is a mill test report?
A mill test report, or MTR, is the certified record a steel mill issues for a heat of steel. It lists the chemical composition and mechanical test results, so inspectors and engineers can confirm the material meets the specification.
Does GIW supply mill test reports with its steel?
Yes. Material supply with mill test reports is one of the eight services in our Division 5 scope.
Can material supply be part of a full package?
Yes. We can carry material together with detailing, fabrication and erection, so one company is responsible for the steel from purchase to erection.
Have a project coming up?
We quote full Division 5 packages and fabrication-only work. Tell us about the job and we will get back to you.
