Building Success Over Decades: Custom Steel Shop Build for Toms Construction
Toms Construction first partnered with Metal Structure Concepts on a steel building project that faced several issues. Fortunately, MSC’s structural steel expertise and quality workmanship saved the project and turned it around successfully.

My name is John Fischer, and I co-own Toms Construction in Fort St. John with my brother. We've been in business since the mid-90s, and for over half a decade, we've built a solid relationship with Metal Structure Concepts, completing millions of dollars worth of projects together. I have to say, MSC’s crew has been exceptional to work with—just outstanding. In fact, one of our engineers even praised MSC’s team for their brilliance.
When we first met MSC, we collaborated with another builder. To be honest, the erectors in this industry can be quite challenging to work with, and we ended up bringing MSC on board to rectify some issues that had come up. They did an excellent job, and now, years later, we rely on MSC for all of our steel builds. The results have been consistently great, and we no longer work with anyone else. The main reason we chose MSC and continue to choose them is the trust we have in their quality of work and crew. Our projects often involve multiple transactions and verbal agreements, but with MSC, even for large deals, a simple nod or text is all it takes, and we're good to go. I’m confident MSC values our partnership as much as we do because the relationship is built on mutual respect, and the work flows seamlessly.
We've worked with nearly a dozen metal building companies, but since partnering with MSC, they've become our go-to for all metal building projects. We don’t even request quotes from anyone else. Through our industry network, we often help MSC acquire new customers, and since both of our teams work so well together, the results are always positive. We are 100% satisfied with MSC’s project delivery, especially their seamless design and engineering attention. They're a sharp crew and make the whole process easy.
I always recommend MSC to industry peers and anyone else in need of a steel structure. In my opinion, no other builder matches their expertise. They also always have our backs in ensuring vendor cooperation for the project. A couple of years ago, we had an issue with a building under construction, and MSC went above and beyond to help us tackle that tough situation. We truly value these things about our relationship with MSC, and it’s something we’ll never forget.
