Steel detailing questions.

Have a project in Texas or the Southeast?

What is steel detailing?

Steel detailing turns the design of a building into drawings for every piece of steel: sizes, holes, connections and piece marks, so each piece can be fabricated and erected without guesswork.

What is structural steel design?

Structural steel design is calculating the members and connections that carry the loads of the building. We design and detail the steel we fabricate.

What is steel connection design?

Steel connection design is designing how beams, columns, joists and braces join. We detail every connection so the numbered pieces bolt together on site, with no welding.

What software do you use?

Tekla, from design and engineering through fabrication and assembly.

What do you need to start?

Drawings, a model or just your project details. We quote one all-inclusive price.

Do you build to US codes?

Yes. We comply with US codes and standards.
