Metropolitan has been an important member of our team on several jobs. Tim Caballero and his field team deliver on production while maintaining a safety focus. They are always in communication with our field superintendent to coordinate work plans, weather planning, and site logistics.
Metropolitan’s safety culture is evident through tie-off compliance and making the right call when weather conditions are too extreme to put people at risk. Long before construction starts, our pre-planning with Ed Smith helps set us on a realistic path to manage client expectations.
Our past collaboration with Metropolitan makes me confident in their upcoming steel erection over the winter with us at the UIH Outpatient Surgery Center. I’m glad to have Tim and his team on my project.

Walsh Construction has worked with Metropolitan Steel on some difficult projects. We have always found Metropolitan to come prepared with a well thought out plan, and the people that can execute that plan. We are looking forward to the next project we can complete together.

Whether it is a complicated hoisting project or a complete 54 hour CTA shutdown or a small erection l project, the consistent quality of Metropolitan Steel’s workmanship is the reason that they have been one of F.H. Paschen’s most trusted and reliable subcontractors in the last 10 years.

I want to thank you and your team for a job well done on the Dixie (Amazon) project. Metropolitan planned, managed the project well and worked with us through the challenges to make the project a success! Hopefully we get another big project in the Chicago area where we can team up again in the future.
