Steel detailing.
And fabrication support.
Structural and miscellaneous steel detailing, connection design, BIM coordination, CNC data, and estimating support—scoped to project documents and shop requirements.
Services across the steel workflow.
Structural Steel Detailing
Structural steel shop and erection drawing packages coordinated to the contract documents, project requirements, and your shop's agreed standards.
- Anchor rod plans

Miscellaneous Steel Detailing
Miscellaneous steel detailing for stairs, ladders, platforms, rails, gates, and other secondary steel assemblies.
- Pan or grating stairs
- Industrial platform assemblies
- OSHA-compliant handrails and guardrails
- Vertical egress ladders
- Safety gates, bollards and dumpster gates
- Landing frames with supports, gratings and floor plate layouts
- Custom architectural weldments
SDS2 Steel Detailing
Intelligent 3D structural modeling using the automated intelligence of the SDS2 engine. We configure site connection formulas natively inside the model.
- Optimized sub-material detailing
- Adaptive structural geometry coordination
- Connections resolved inside the model
Tekla Structures Modeling
Advanced multi-material detailing on modern Tekla software stacks, with robust, constructible LOD 400 models.
- Absolute geometric fidelity
- Single source of truth for project data
- Major industrial and commercial infrastructure
BIM Coordination
Full cross-trade spatial coordination and clash resolution before fabrication.
- Detailing models merged with architectural plans
- Foundation concrete grids
- Complex mechanical and MEP layouts
- Interference errors resolved digitally
CNC and Fabrication Data
Seamless, machine-readable automated exports straight from our detailing models.
- Checked DSTV files for drill lines and sawing systems
- Plate DXF contours for plasma cutting
- High-fidelity XML and KSS data sets
Connection Design
Connection design and detailing coordinated together, so every joint is resolved inside the model before release.
Estimating
Material takeoffs and tonnage support based on the bid package provided; this is not a substitute for the fabricator's final pricing.
Files your shop can run.
Work in your agreed workflow.
Work to the requirements that apply to the project.
Start with the project scope.
We review the scope information you share and agree on the next step, which may be a sample package or a defined quote request.
Fabricators first. Related project teams as needed.
Steel Fabricators
US and Canadian fabricators who need elastic detailing capacity, shop-specific drawings and CNC-ready data.
General Contractors
Coordinated models and clear RFIs that keep schedules and approvals moving.
Designers and Architects
Models merged with architectural plans and foundation grids, with interference resolved digitally.
Structural Engineers
Connection design and code-compliant packages that follow the contract documents.

Time. Fit. Scale. Cost.
Clear RFIs. Earlier answers.
Instead of: Waiting on answers. US time zone Project Managers write proactive, clear RFIs.
Shop-specific.
Instead of: Drawings that argue with your shop. Bolts, equipment, welds and paint profiles matched.
Elastic capacity.
Instead of: A backlog bigger than your bench. Add detailing support when project volume or deadlines call for it.
Flexible project support.
Instead of: Overhead for every new hire. Add project-specific support without making a permanent staffing commitment.
Trust, stage after stage.
Reliable Communication
Clear, highly responsive and proactive project communication without the guesswork.
Execution Discipline
Structured, metrics-driven systems designed to improve shop floor predictability and eliminate surprises.
Scalable Capacity
Elastic operational support exactly when workloads exceed your internal engineering resources.
Fabrication Understanding
Real-world engineering solutions developed from a shop-floor-first perspective.
Long-Term Partnership
Focused on helping clients scale operations and capture revenue over years, not just weeks.
Continuous Improvement
A systematic commitment to optimizing workflows and technical delivery with every project.
Built to the book.
