28 Florida-licensed structural steel & misc. metals subcontractors serve Port Charlotte (Charlotte County). Browse listings below, or create a free* GC account to see phone and email and invite a sub to bid on your RFQ.
Most of these structural steel & misc. metals subcontractors are based in West Palm Beach (4), Pompano Beach (3), Davie (2), Hialeah (2), Hollywood (2), and Oakland Park (2) — plus 13 more across the metro.
Structural steel and miscellaneous metals subcontractors fabricate and erect the steel frame of a building and the metal work that hangs off it — beams, columns, joists, deck, bracing and bolted or welded connections on the structural side, plus stairs, railings, ladders, embeds, and architectural metals on the misc side. On commercial jobs they price from the structural drawings and Division 5 spec, produce and submit shop drawings, coordinate erection sequence with concrete and decking, and bring the cranes, welders, and rigging crews the work demands.

A structural steel RFQ usually points at the structural drawings, the Division 5 spec section, and the connection schedule, with a clear scope: tonnage, shop-drawing turnaround, fabrication and erection split, decking inclusion, and the misc-metals scope (stairs, rails, embeds). For bid prep a GC typically wants pricing broken out by fabrication, erection, and misc metals so bids compare cleanly, confirmation the sub priced to the spec book, and an honest read on the shop-drawing lead time — that often gates the schedule. AISC Certified Erector status is a common ask on larger commercial work.
Structural steel erection is a state-licensed trade in Florida, regulated by the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) under the DBPR as a specialty contractor classification. Like other CILB trades the license comes in two tiers — certified, which authorizes statewide work, and registered, which is limited to the local jurisdiction that issued the competency card. Separate from the DBPR license, GCs often look for AISC Certified Fabricator and AISC Certified Erector designations on larger commercial work — those are industry quality certifications, not state licenses, but they show up in spec books as a baseline requirement.
Yes. Structural steel erection is a CILB specialty contractor classification under the DBPR. Certified licenses authorize statewide work; registered licenses are limited to the local jurisdiction that issued the competency card.
No. AISC Certified Fabricator and AISC Certified Erector are industry quality certifications from the American Institute of Steel Construction, not state licenses. Spec books often require AISC certification on top of the DBPR license.
The structural drawings, the Division 5 spec section, the connection schedule, tonnage, shop-drawing turnaround expectation, fabrication and erection split, decking and misc-metals scope, the bid deadline, and whether a site visit is required.
Yes. GCs post an RFQ and invite matched subs by trade and service area; invited subs are notified and can submit a bid for your bid prep.
Listings are seeded from public Florida DBPR license data, and a sub can claim its listing and upload a credential for a one-time review. The badge reflects what was reviewed: a verified state license earns License Verified — the usual path for a structural steel sub — a verified certificate of insurance earns Insurance Verified, and a sub with both reviewed shows both badges.
