Comprehensive Steel Detailing Services for US Fabricators

From shop drawings to full BIM models — we handle everything your fabrication shop needs.

Structural Steel Detailing

We create precise, fabrication-ready structural steel shop drawings and erection drawings for all types of steel structures. Every drawing is prepared in Tekla Structures and delivered in your preferred format — PDF, DXF, or DWG.

Includes:

  • Anchor bolt plans and foundation plans
  • Framing plans and elevations
  • Connection details — bolted and welded
  • Section details and enlarged details
  • Erection drawings with member marks
  • General arrangement (GA) drawings
  • Bill of Materials (BOM) with weights

 

Project Types:

  • Commercial buildings — office, retail, hospitality
  • Industrial structures — warehouses, manufacturing plants
  • Educational and institutional buildings
  • Healthcare facilities
  • Multi-storey steel frames
  • Canopies, platforms, mezzanines
  • Stairs, handrails, ladders, grating

Shop Drawings

Our shop drawings are the backbone of your fabrication process. We produce detailed, dimensioned single-part and assembly drawings that your fabricators can use directly on the shop floor — no guesswork, no rework.

Includes:

  • Individual member (single part) drawings
  • Assembly drawings with weld symbols
  • Connection plate details
  • Cope and cut details
  • Surface preparation and paint notes
  • Shipping mark and piece mark coordination
  • AISC/AWS compliant weld symbols throughout

Connection Design

Our team designs and details steel connections in accordance with AISC and AWS standards. We handle standard and complex connections — shear tabs, moment connections, base plates, gusset plates and more.

Includes:

  • Shear tab and clip angle connections
  • Moment connections — bolted and welded
  • Base plate and anchor bolt design
  • Gusset plate and brace connections
  • Seated connections
  • Column splices and beam splices

BIM / 3D Modeling (Tekla Structures)

We build accurate, clash-free 3D models in Tekla Structures that serve as the single source of truth for your project. Our models reduce coordination issues, eliminate fabrication errors, and speed up your shop floor production.

Includes:

  • Full 3D structural model in Tekla Structures
  • Clash detection and resolution
  • NC files for CNC fabrication machines
  • IFC export for BIM coordination
  • Model-based BOM generation
  • Tekla model sharing for client review

Steel Estimation & Takeoffs

Our estimation team prepares accurate steel quantity takeoffs and bid estimates for US fabricators. We help you bid faster and more confidently — reducing estimating time and improving bid accuracy.

Includes:

  • Structural steel quantity takeoff from design drawings
  • Tonnage calculation per member type
  • Material list and BOM preparation
  • Bid support and scope clarification
  • Takeoffs for structural steel, miscellaneous metals

Erection Drawings

Clear, detailed erection drawings that guide your field crew in placing and connecting every steel member safely and accurately. Our erection drawings include all member marks, anchor bolt locations, and connection references.

Includes:

  • Erection plan views — all grid lines and bays
  • Erection elevations — all frames
  • Member mark schedule
  • Anchor bolt setting plan
  • Connection detail references
  • Erection sequence notes (if required)
