AWS Structural Welding Documents
Start here if your work is structural steel fabrication and/or erection and your contract references AWS.
All documents are delivered as editable Word files you can reuse (no subscription).
Choose the document type
1) Company Quality Manual (Most common)
Choose a Quality Manual if you need a company-wide QA/QC program for prequalification, audits, or in-house use.
Next, choose the version that matches your scope:
- Shop fabrication only: best if you fabricate in-house but do not install in the field.
- Shop fabrication + field installation: best if you fabricate and also perform on-site installation/erection.
Choose AWS Manual (Shop Fabrication Only)
Choose AWS Manual (Shop + Field Installation)
2) Project Quality Plan (One job)
Best when you need a plan tailored to one specific project for a customer/GC/owner requirement.
Comprehensive plan (most common): best when contract requirements are strict, the job is larger or higher-risk, or your customer expects a detailed submittal. It’s also the best “one plan for everything” option because you can easily trim sections to fit smaller projects.
Choose AWS Comprehensive Plan
Choose AWS Essentials Plan
3) Plan + Manual Package
Best when your customer wants a company program and a project-specific plan (very common).
