Stacey Bauer, President & Owner
After working in the steel industry for a respected fabricator, Stacey decided to take on the challenge of starting his own structural steel detailing company to assist and meet the needs of fabricators like his employer. He founded Steel Solutions in 2011, and has accumulated more than 15 years of experience leading structural steel detailing projects.
At Steel Solutions, we challenge ourselves by taking on complex projects of any kind. Whether civil projects like bridges or schools or industrial projects from oil refineries and processing plants to manufacturing facilities, we can handle projects that vary widely in scope and complexity. We grow through excellence in our industry.

Steel Solutions has earned the status of being one of our top contract detailing firms. They successfully combine three important qualities to us at MSI: Detailing the job quickly, accurate drawings our shop crew can easily fab from with few issues that our Project Managers have to deal with, and competitive price.

Stacey and his team at Steel Solutions are great to work with and produce quality drawings. They meet deadlines and are up front with their customers.

I thoroughly enjoy working with Stacey, and came to know him as a truly valuable asset to my company as well as others. He is honest, dependable, and incredibly hard-working. Beyond that, he is an impressive owner who is always been there to answer my calls and take on my projects. His knowledge of SDS2 and expertise in the steel industry is a huge advantage to me and our entire office. He put this skillset to work in order for our steel to be fabricated and installed correctly every time.
