Columns, beams, and framing
Wide flange, HSS, channels, and built-up members detailed with accurate lengths, copes, holes, and part marks.
Services
Structural Steel Detailing
Fabrication-ready shop drawings, erection drawings, and coordinated models for the primary steel frame. Detailed by a team with real fabrication shop experience, so the information holds up in production and in the field.
What we detail
The primary frame, start to finish.
From anchor bolts in the ground to the last beam on the roof, we turn the engineer of record's design into clear, buildable steel information.
Bracing and trusses
Vertical and horizontal bracing, gussets, and trusses coordinated for clean fit-up and field bolt-up.
Anchor bolt plans
Setting plans and embed layouts the concrete crew can use, coordinated to the steel that lands on them.
What is in your package
Everything the shop and field need.
Model-based detailing in Tekla Structures and SDS2 keeps the drawings, reports, and CNC data coordinated from the same source.
Shop (fabrication) drawings
Erection drawings and field bolt lists
Anchor bolt and embed setting plans
NC, DXF, IFC, and KISS files
BOMs, bolt summaries, and reports
Tekla PowerFab-ready data
Detailed by shop-aware people
We think about fit-up, weld access, shipping, and erection sequence while we detail, not after the RFI comes back. That is the difference between drawings that are technically correct and drawings that are genuinely useful on the floor.
How we work
A clean path from documents to steel.
We map the whole steel path first, so fewer questions reach the shop mid-fabrication.
Map the scope
We review the contract drawings, specs, connection requirements, and schedule, then confirm scope and a realistic timeline up front.
Model and coordinate
We build the frame in Tekla or SDS2, check constructability and fit-up, and flag conflicts before they reach fabrication.
Deliver build-ready
Drawings, reports, and CNC data, organized for the shop teams, field crews, and project managers who use them.

Questions
Common questions about this service.
Straight answers for fabricators, contractors, and project teams.
What is structural steel detailing?
Structural steel detailing turns the engineer of record's design into fabrication and erection drawings for the primary frame: columns, beams, bracing, and trusses. It also includes the 3D model, material and bolt reports, and the CNC data the shop and field need to build it.
What deliverables come with a structural package?
Depending on scope: anchor bolt plans, shop (fabrication) drawings, erection drawings, bills of material and bolt lists, and NC, DXF, IFC, KISS, and Tekla PowerFab files.
What software do you use?
We detail in Tekla Structures and SDS2. Working model-based keeps the drawings, reports, and CNC outputs coordinated from a single source of truth.
What do you need from us to start?
The contract drawings and specifications, the connection design or connection requirements, the project schedule, and any fabricator standards. We confirm scope and a realistic schedule before we begin.
What project types do you detail?
Commercial and institutional buildings, industrial and energy or plant structures, and miscellaneous and architectural steel, for fabricators and contractors nationwide.
