About
Engineering, Design, Fabrication
EDF Works is a Hayward, California firm focused on steel: the drawings, models and coordination that take a design to steel in place. We have worked in the San Francisco Bay Area market for more than fifteen years.
What the name means
Engineering: understanding how steel carries load and how it connects. Design: turning that understanding into models and drawings that are clear and complete. Fabrication: knowing what the shop and the field crew need to build it right.
Most of our work is structural and miscellaneous steel: exterior steel stairs, cable and bar railings, canopies, moment frames, mezzanines and exterior steel, for residential, commercial and industrial projects.
Where we work
We are based in Hayward, at the center of the Bay. From here we have detailed steel for projects in 32 Bay Area cities, from San Francisco and Tiburon to San Jose, Los Gatos and the East Bay hills, plus jobs further out in Northern California.

How we work
Steel first
We focus on steel, so our attention stays on the details that matter to steel: connections, tolerances, finishes and sequence.
Drawings people can build from
A drawing is only good if the shop and the field can use it without calling. We aim for sets that answer questions instead of raising them.
Coordinate early
The cheapest place to solve a clash is in the model. We coordinate before drawings are released.
One thread from start to finish
Estimate, model, drawings and support come from one team, so the decisions made early carry through to the end.
