The Real Cost of Multi-Vendor Fabrication: Why Turnkey Fabrication Wins for Welded Assemblies

Sourcing welded assemblies from multiple vendors might seem flexible—but the hidden costs say otherwise. Laser cutting here, forming there, machining elsewhere, and final welding somewhere else—each handoff introduces delays, miscommunication, and quality issues that snowball.

For industries like mining, oil & gas, and construction, where precision matters, this scattered approach often leads to blown timelines, increased costs, and inconsistent welded assemblies.

Avoda Metals offers a smarter alternative: turnkey fabrication. We cut, machine, form, and weld—all under one roof. No freight delays, no juggling vendors, no misaligned tolerances. Just consistent parts delivered in 2–3 weeks, not 6.

Let’s break it down. Say you’re building a mining subassembly. The traditional route splits the job between four shops. Laser cut here. Formed there. Machined at another. Welded last. Each stage adds freight costs ($500–$800), lost time (3–5 days per handoff), and risk of error.

With turnkey fabrication at Avoda, you get a single team, a single quote, and full control. Our 15KW fiber laser, CNC machines, and AWS-certified welders ensure your welded assemblies meet spec—on time and on budget.

Every extra handoff creates room for mistakes. A single misstep in your welded assemblies can halt production or delay field deployment—costing far more than just time.

Avoda’s turnkey fabrication process eliminates that risk. We’re built for scale, speed, and precision, and we speak the language of industrial teams who can’t afford downtime.
