Steel Detailing Services
Expert Structural Steel Shop Drawings & Fabrication Details
Professional Steel Detailing Services
Steel detailing services create comprehensive fabrication and erection drawings for structural steel projects. Our steel detailers use Tekla Structures, SDS/2, and AutoCAD to produce detailed shop drawings showing member sizes, connection details, bolt patterns, weld specifications, and material lists. We work from structural engineering drawings to develop fabrication-ready drawings that communicate exact requirements to steel fabricators and erectors. Our drawings comply with AISC standards and ensure accurate fabrication, efficient material usage, and safe erection.
What is Steel Detailing?
Steel detailing translates structural engineering designs into detailed fabrication instructions for steel fabricators. Detailers create shop drawings showing individual steel members with dimensions, connection details with bolt and weld specifications, erection drawings illustrating assembly sequences, material lists for procurement, and anchor bolt plans for foundation coordination. Steel detailing requires understanding of fabrication processes, connection design, welding procedures, and construction sequencing to ensure buildable, cost-effective designs.

Benefits of Professional Steel Detailing
Professional steel detailing reduces fabrication errors by 80-90%, minimizes material waste through optimized nesting, and accelerates fabrication through clear communication. Detailed shop drawings enable accurate material ordering, efficient shop production, and coordinated field erection. Projects using professional steel detailing experience fewer field conflicts, reduced RFIs, and faster construction schedules.
