What We Do

Focused on the U.S. market, our steel detailers deliver fabrication-ready steel detailing services that follow local codes and shop workflows — no guesswork, no mix-ups, just drawings you can trust.

Structural Steel Detailing

We close the gap between engineers, fabricators, and erectors. Every drawing is double-checked, so you don’t lose time or money fixing errors in the shop or field.

 

Result: fewer fixes, faster buys, measurable savings.

Miscellaneous Steel Detailing

Code compliance is built in from day one. We verify tread and riser dimensions, handrail and guard heights, landings, clearances and accessibility.

 

Result: clear, compliant sets, fewer revisions, faster approvals.

Ornamental Steel Detailing

We combine architectural detail with field reality. Fabricators get highly detailed drawings with all interfacing trades shown in large scale, and with joints, miters, tolerances, and finishes resolved on the sheet.

 

Result: precise fit-up, minimal shimming, tight joints, and a seamless final appearance.

Project Setup

Upfront alignment before modeling. Clear scope, predictable timelines, one point of contact.

We review all drawings and specs upfront to catch gaps early and avoid late RFIs.

We build a BIM-ready 3D model coordinated early with MEP, concrete, and architecture — ensuring first-time fit in the field.

Every update is double-checked for accuracy and code compliance — preventing rework and backcharges.

Approved drawings come with full CNC and BIM outputs — plus fast support through fabrication and erection.

the team behind your project

Our steel detailers combine engineering expertise with hands-on fabrication experience to deliver consistent, buildable results.

Our Steel Detailing Workflow

We don’t just model steel — our steel detailing process helps you avoid costly rework, stay on schedule, and deliver with confidence. Every step is designed for predictability, clarity, and buildable results.

Kickoff & Scope Alignment

We set up the full project environment — folders, naming rules, communication — before modeling begins and confirm scope, standards, preferred connections, and key parameters upfront.


This alignment prevents issues later and gives you predictable timelines, clear updates, and a single point of contact.

Modeling & Coordination

We build a fully detailed 3D model aligned with your coordinate system and connected to other trades, ensuring BIM-ready integration.

Beams, stairs, and rails are modeled for first-time fit through early MEP, concrete, and architectural coordination.


This approach reduces field conflicts, poor fit-up, and excessive site work.

Submittal & Ongoing Support

Once approved, you receive a complete package of shop and erection drawings, NC/DXF files, material lists, and BIM/IFC exports — all ready for fabrication.


We stay connected during fabrication and erection to answer questions fast — no radio silence, no delays.

Design Review & Early RFI

Our team studies all design drawings — not just structural sets — along with specifications and scope to catch missing dimensions or unclear details before modeling begins.

 

This reduces typical issues with incomplete information and late RFIs.

QA & Double-Check

Each update — whether a release or design change — goes through two independent checks for dimensions, connections, engineering logic, and code compliance.

 

This avoids rework and backcharges, delivering clean, fabrication-ready drawings.

We Keep Track of Every Mark-up. Nothing Gets Lost

Missed comments lead to rework, backcharges, and “why wasn’t this updated?” emails.

Each update is tracked, verified, and applied before the next release — keeping your drawings and models clean, current, and ready for fabrication.

Your team works with confidence, knowing every detail is under control — exactly how it should be.

Using Point Clouds. Real Data. Perfect Fit.

We import and align field scans directly into detailing software, recreating field conditions down to the 1/16.

Our process, tested across multiple renovation projects, minimizes manual measurement and helps fabricators avoid rework during installation.

We receive files (e.g. .RCP, .E57) from your surveyor. The raw scan is cleaned – unwanted data removed (people, trees, debris), noise filtered out.

The cleaned point-cloud is imported into our detailing software. We then locate and match reference points to accurately align the cloud with the steel model.

Using the aligned cloud, we identify clashes, re-route smartly, refine connections, update steel, and precisely adjust geometry to match field conditions.

Once the model is fully coordinated, we deliver drawings for fabrication and erection – confident that everything will fit with minimal site visits and zero re-work.

BIM Coordination: Clash-Free Models, Zero Lost Days

Mechanical, architectural, and structural models rarely agree —
we make them work together. Our team resolves hard clashes (ducts through beams), soft clashes (clearance issues), clearance, accessibility and alignment problems so that your steel installs cleanly with no field fixes or last-minute reworks.

You get a coordinated, build-ready model that moves straight to fabrication
with no surprises.

Cost Drivers

Tonnage & Project Type

Larger or specialized structures may increase complexity and detailing time.

Need for Field Measurements

Field verification or point cloud integration may affect overall cost.

Input Completeness

Irregular shapes, skewed frames, cambers and intricate joints require deeper modeling effort.

Geometry & Connections

Irregular shapes, skewed frames, cambers and intricate joints require deeper modeling effort.

Fixed-Fee

Hourly Rate

Hybrid

Change Order Policy

We don’t charge extra for minor fixes, and a reasonable amount of rework is already included in our base pricing.

 

For significant design changes, we will notify you in advance and obtain approval for any additional costs before proceeding with the revisions.

 

We believe a strong relationship and a satisfied client are worth more than a $100 change order — we aim to be flexible and fair.
