Galvanized steel balcony framing on anchor bolts at New Blocks Beaverhill Apartments

Shop drawings and detailing, done before the steel is cut

3D models, shop and erection drawings, connection design and anchor bolt layouts — so what we build fits what was designed.

Detailing
AISC / CISC
Deliverables
Shop, erection, anchor bolt
On request
IFC / BIM

Good steel starts on the screen. We model the job in 3D, catch clashes before they reach site, and produce the shop drawings our fabricators work from and the erection drawings the crew installs from.

Parkwest Projects, a general contractor that has worked with us since 2002, put it this way: shop drawings have been provided in a timely fashion.

Questions we get

Do you do drawings only?

Our drafting supports our own fabrication. Call us if you need drawings on their own and we’ll talk it through.

Can you work from a BIM model?

Yes, IFC/BIM coordination is available on request.

Do you stamp connection designs?

Ask us about engineering for your project — we’ll confirm what’s included when we quote.
