Engineer's design drawings and connection design or specification
BIM services · Steel detailing
Fabrication-ready steel, connection by connection.
Shop and erection drawings with the machine files, bills and marking plans the fabricator and the erector actually work from.
Assembly and single-part shop drawings, erection drawings, NC/DSTV machine files and advance bills of material.
All BIM servicesWhat you receive
Deliverables, stated before we start.
Steel detailing is judged in the shop and on the erection floor. Output is built around the fabricator's machinery, marking convention and delivery sequence.
- Assembly and single-part shop drawings
- Erection drawings and marking plans by sequence and zone
- CNC machine files in NC1/DSTV for the fabricator's equipment
- Advance bills of material and bolt, weld and anchor lists
- Connection detailing coordinated with the connection design basis
- Anchor bolt and embed setting-out plans for the concrete package
- Revision control with change marks between issues

FAQ
Steel detailing — common questions.
Do you design the connections?
We detail to a connection design provided by, or approved by, the engineer of record. Where you need connection design itself, that is a separate engineering appointment.
Which machine file formats do you issue?
NC1/DSTV as standard, and other formats where the fabricator's equipment requires them. We confirm machine capability before the first issue.
Can you work to our fabricator's shop standard?
Yes. Shop standards drive drawing layout, marking and tolerances, so we set them up before detailing rather than reformatting afterwards.
