Structural Steel Detailing Services
Our steel detailing process involves meticulous planning and the creation of structural shop drawings, serving as essential reference documents for steel fabricators. Based on the blueprint or concept design, our skilled steel detailers produce comprehensive shop drawings, sectional drawings, and erection plans for steel members such as columns, beams, trusses, and more.
As city limits expand and vertical growth becomes a necessity, sustainable structural designs backed by stringent and accurate steel detailing are crucial. Whether for residential buildings, commercial structures, industrial plants, elevators, bridges, or monuments, our steel detailing process is pivotal. It is an essential step in developing precise and reliable steel structures, ensuring safety, efficiency, and sustainability in construction.
Benefits of
Structural Steel Detailing
Construction projects demand close attention to structural steel detailing, which offers several critical benefits:
- Precise Fabrication Details: Steel fabrication drawings provide exact information on dimensions, connections, and specifications, ensuring appropriate manufacture, minimizing errors, and enhancing the overall quality of steel components.
- Streamlined Assembly Process: Structural steel detailing provides detailed assembly instructions and sequencing schedules, facilitating efficient on-site assembly, saving time, and minimizing construction disturbances.
- Structural Safety: Precise detailing and connection of steel structures are essential for maintaining structural integrity and safety. This involves defining key locations, load-bearing sections, and required reinforcements.
- Early Clash Detection: Advanced BIM modeling and clash detection techniques used in structural steel detailing help detect design clashes between steel components and other building features early in the process, preventing costly rework and delays.

Process of Structural Steel Detailing
The fabrication, assembly, and installation of steel structures are all controlled by the accurate designs and specifications created throughout the steel detailing process.
- Creation of Design Drawings: Using specialized software, detailers produce precise 2D and 3D drawings that represent steel parts, including columns, beams, and braces. These drawings specify sizes, orientations, connections, dimensions, floor levels, and material alternatives as directed by the engineer.
- Materials and Budget Assessment: Contractors, fabricators, or erectors use the design drawings to evaluate the project’s scope, material requirements, timeframe, available resources, and potential trouble spots, enabling them to provide an accurate cost estimate.
- Creation of Shop Drawings: Fabricators develop shop drawings that provide complete production instructions for steel components, detailing dimensions, material needs, connection specifics, welding details, and assembly instructions. These drawings also include erection marks needed before construction.
- Creation of General Arrangement Drawings (GAD): Using specialized modeling software, a GA drawing (also known as a marking plan or marking elevation) is created to illustrate the placement of fabricated components on the job site and how they connect to other members.
- Coordination with Architects, Engineers, and Contractors: Structural steel detailers collaborate with architectural, engineering, and construction professionals to ensure that steel components meet project design and structural requirements. This coordination helps resolve design issues and ensures smooth construction.
