Rates vary by certification, process, and region within the state. These ranges reflect typical shop and field rates for AWS-certified welders.
These are typical market rates — not prevailing wage on public jobs. Add 25–35% for total loaded cost (payroll taxes, workers' comp, insurance, tools). Add 15–25% markup on top of loaded cost as the shop's contribution to overhead and profit.
Licensing & Certification
No statewide welding license required. Individual cities (Houston, Dallas, Austin) may require local trade permits for structural work. Fabricators working on pressure vessels must hold a valid ASME certification from a recognized jurisdiction.
AWS Code Adoption
Texas DOT and most industrial GCs mandate AWS D1.1-2020 for all structural steel. The Gulf Coast petrochemical corridor holds API 1104 as the pipe-welding standard. Offshore work often adds AWS D3.6 (underwater) on top.
