Aluminium Fabrication

Aluminium Fabrication Sunshine Coast

On The Spot Steel Fabrication provides aluminium fabrication that's suitable for almost any project. With an excellent understanding of our customers' needs, as well as the right equipment and skills to take on almost any fabrication project, we can provide a cost-effective, high-quality fabrication solution for bulk orders and one-off commissions.


Aluminium is used for a wide range of applications due to its low weight, durability and lack of reactivity. It's also highly malleable and ductile, even at low temperatures when other metals become unworkably brittle.

Range of different processing and finishing on offer

On The Spot has invested heavily in high-end equipment and plant. This allows us to configure aluminium into almost anything! We can cut, punch, saw, machine and fold aluminium to match your specifications. If necessary, we can also complete assembly.


We also offer a selection of chemical treatments that include anodising, chemical polishing and etching. Depending on the end application, we can usually suggest a suitable finish to minimise corrosion, reduce friction, and/or improve performance.


The choice of finish can greatly affect a build’s appearance and overall performance, so it’s vital that you make the right choice, On the Spot provides plenty of finishes to help with this. With mechanical equipment, we can buff it to replicate a polished chrome aesthetic or sand it to make a more reflective, attractive surface. Using a chemical solution, we brighten and clean it, or use etching to ensure it’s as flat as it needs to be.


On top of this, we can anodise the metal with electrochemical processes to give it a thicker protective coating that works great for resisting wear and tear outdoors. These are just some of the finishing choices we provide, and we’re confident that any of them would serve your aluminium project; you can also have it in a variety of colour options.

Versatile application

The team at On The Spot can fabricate aluminium into a number of different forms, depending on the nature of your project. In the past, we have created aluminium screens, balustrades, gates and fences. If you want a customised item, let us know what you're looking for and we can create a tailored solution that's exactly right for your requirements.


Typically, we work with clients from the construction and engineering sectors, but the reality is that if you need an aluminium installation for almost anything, we have the skills and equipment to provide it for you.


With our high-quality fabrication processes, we provide an impressive range of products that will always meet your needs no matter the job at hand – from gates to protect your home, to the frames that keep it standing. We can provide a residential or commercial property with everything it requires to feel complete, with tables, guttering, faucets, and more among our pre-existing products.


We’re always open to challenging ourselves with new builds, as it allows us to showcase the sheer versatility of aluminium as a material. On the Spot promises to deliver the best approach to any problem or idea, and we commit to quality at every turn. If you have something unconventional in mind as a new aluminium build, get in touch, and we’ll see about making it a reality.

Quality at every stage

We have a robust quality assurance mechanism that's an integral part of every stage of our design, prototype and production process. From ensuring that high-grade aluminium is used through to checking and testing each part of the manufacturing process, we are committed to ensuring our customers receive aluminium products that benefit from a high-grade build construction and premium materials.


We will only ever provide you with fabrications and builds that reach our high standards because we know the importance of using strong metals in projects or fixtures of any size. Faulty aluminium leads to products with a much lower lifetime, which will invariably let you down in a way that strong, high-quality aluminium won’t.


By sticking with our products, you can guarantee that every piece or sheet of metal we use has what it takes to meet your requirements and gives you every benefit you expect from aluminium. We’re always doing what we can to refine each part of the process because our drive is exclusively to deliver the best service possible – this means we’re constantly improving.

Testing to meet your specifications

Once a piece has been completed, we test it rigorously to ensure it meets your design requirements. This ensures you can be confident that components or systems from us will be an exact match for your needs. Aluminium's properties mean it's frequently a good choice in challenging environments, where load-bearing and/or exposure to the elements will be a regular occurrence. Our strict attention to every detail of your aluminium fabrication ensures high-calibre results every time.


We do not limit our quality checks to the metal in the first stages of the process, we also always make sure the final fabrications are up to scratch and exactly what you asked us for. Everything we build works within precise tolerances, and we never let a piece leave our hands unless it’s a perfect fit for what you need.


If your aluminium build will be out in the sun, we’ll make sure it has the right finish to handle the heat without any worry. Our expansive testing process ensures that every aluminium fabrication Sunshine Coast-based product we make can do what it needs to do, and won’t succumb to wear and tear when under strain.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does laser cutting help aluminium fabrication?

    Almost all aluminium products or components have to stay within certain tolerances. Because of this, using a laser cutter is sometimes essential to make everything to its exact specifications. With a more accurate fabrication, your gate, balustrade, or frame can do a better job and last for longer. This process shapes metal in exactly the right way, making the laser cutter invaluable for so many metalwork projects.

  • How does CNC drilling help aluminium fabrication?

    Drilling offers similar benefits, with computerised numerical control (CNC) putting holes in fabrications just where they need to be; this helps everything fit together perfectly. When dealing with a complex build, there are many components to be aware of, and they all need to assemble according to the specifications. So many aluminium fabrications rely on precise holes, so automating this process guarantees greater accuracy for each product.

  • How does aluminium compare to steel?

    Aluminium and steel are both excellent choices for nearly any metal fabrication project, but some could suit one material more than the other. It’s essential that you understand metal fabrication and the options available to you. For example, aluminium is lightweight and easier to bend compared to steel, allowing it to take on different shapes with far more ease. We’ll always advise you on the right material for a job.

  • Who can benefit from aluminium products?

    Aluminium is a great choice of material for features around and outside the home, offering protection for your gates and tables. Beyond this, many companies and industries use aluminium fabrications for their equipment and facilities, including catering businesses, the automotive sector, and more. If your firm might benefit from durable, long-lasting aluminium products, it might be worth investigating this as an option.

  • Do you offer a free quote?

    At On the Spot Steel Fabrication, we always provide a free quote before you agree to anything – you can give us a call to learn more. It’s important for any aluminium fabrication company to give an honest quote for the job, without any hidden costs. Don’t just accept the lowest offer you can find; this can point toward a lack of skills or craftsmanship.
