About M & J Steel
M&J Steel, LLC operates from a single shop floor in Trussville, Alabama, where it was founded in 1976 as M&J Materials, Inc. The company reorganized under its current name in 2008 but has maintained three generations of continuous family leadership under the Drake name. What began as a regional fabricator and erector for general contractors across the Southeast has grown into a Tier-1 GC-capable firm working in 26 states. The company provides end-to-end structural steel services under one contract: preconstruction (design-assist, value engineering, constructability review), in-house Tekla Structures detailing at LOD 400, AISC-certified shop fabrication with AWS D1.1 welding, self-performed erection, and miscellaneous metals such as stairs, railings, and platforms. It also specializes in Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel (AESS Categories 1–4). The Trussville facility handles contracts ranging from $25,000 to $10 million and maintains an experience modification rate of 0.84. M&J serves Tier-1 general contractors across healthcare, higher education, sports and entertainment, industrial manufacturing, and commercial sectors. Named projects include the Mercedes-Benz body shop in Vance, Alabama; the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee; Disney’s Little Mermaid rock-work framing in Orlando; Brookwood Hospital Women’s Center in Birmingham; Auburn Wellness Center in Georgia; JetBlue Ballpark in Fort Myers; and the Wacker Polysilicon facility in Charleston, Tennessee. The firm differentiates itself by self-performing every link in the chain—from take-off to top-out—with the same crew that fabricates the steel also erecting it.
