A design shop that builds
Seetin Design Group is Bob Seetin's shop. Bob trained as a designer at Parsons, started building in New York, and has spent thirty years making the metal that architects put on the cover.
Draw it first
Every job is modeled and drawn before steel moves. The drawings are how we think, and how the architect checks us.
Own the whole thing
Design, engineering, fabrication, finish and install stay in one house, so the people who drew it are the people who set it.
Give more than we take
A real price and real drawings, up front. Clients learn their own project from us whether or not they hire us.
No cheap numbers
Custom work priced too low means a shop that did not understand the part. We price the job we are going to build.
