Steel Connection Detailing
Document plates, bolts, welds, anchors and connection geometry from the connection requirements and approved engineering information provided for the project.
Miscellaneous Steel Detailing
Drawing support for defined stairs, platforms, ladders, handrails, guardrails and other miscellaneous steel components included in the assigned package.
Revision & As-Built Updates
Update defined structural steel drawings from supplied revisions, approved changes, field information or record documentation according to the agreed scope.
Structural & Miscellaneous Steel We Can Detail
The component scope depends on the supplied structural package and the drawing requirements defined for the assignment.
What Can the Final Shop Drawing Package Include?
Final outputs are structured around the supplied design information, fabricator requirements and agreed drawing scope.
This scope translates the supplied structural design, connection requirements and approved project information into detailed documentation for fabrication, assembly and erection workflows.
Structural calculations, member engineering, connection engineering, design modifications and professional approval remain with the responsible structural engineer unless separately defined and provided by an authorised professional.
Member sizes, connection requirements, plate information, bolt and weld requirements, material specifications and drawing revisions should be based on the current structural documents and approved information supplied for detailing.
Have a structural steel package ready for detailing?
Send the structural drawings, specifications, connection information and required drawing outputs for scope review.
How Our Structural Steel Shop Drawing Process Works
Our Structural Steel Shop Drawing Services follow a structured workflow from project-information review and steel-package definition through detailing, drawing checks, revisions and final delivery.
What Should You Send for Steel Shop Drawing Production?
Shop drawing production should begin from the current structural documents and approved information relevant to the assigned steel fabrication package.
From Structural Drawings to Shop Drawing Deliverables
Each stage keeps the drawing package aligned with the supplied structural information, fabricator requirements and current project revisions.
Review Project Documents
Assess the current structural drawings, specifications, connection information and assigned steel scope.
Confirm Drawing Requirements
Define member scope, drawing types, fabricator standards, outputs and applicable project requirements.
Develop Shop Drawings
Prepare member, assembly, connection and erection documentation for the defined structural steel package.
Review Drawing Package
Check member information, dimensions, marks, connection details and drawing consistency before issue.
Issue Defined Outputs
Deliver the agreed shop drawings, erection drawings, material information and related project files.
Define the Steel Drawing Package Before Detailing Begins
Fabricators and contractors can use different drawing conventions, member-mark systems and deliverable requirements. Confirming these items early helps establish a consistent shop drawing package.
What Do We Check Before Drawing Delivery?
The drawing review focuses on consistency between the supplied structural information, assigned steel scope and the developed shop drawing package.
Shop drawings should be developed from the current structural drawings, specifications and approved project information supplied for the steel package.
New design revisions, RFIs and approved changes should be identified before drawings are updated or reissued.
Where structural or connection information is unclear or incomplete, clarification should be requested instead of creating unsupported design assumptions.
