Steel Construction Detailing
Structural Steel Detailing & Fabrication Documentation
Steel Construction Detailing for Fabrication, Erection & Coordination
Global Detailing & Designing provides structural steel detailing and project-documentation support for fabrication, erection and construction workflows.
Project scope can include shop drawings, fabrication drawings, erection drawings, general arrangements, framing plans, connection detailing, Structures 3D Modeling & Detailing, bills of materials, embedded-material plans, estimation information and miscellaneous steel documentation.
Drawing packages can be developed around the structural and architectural design information, project standards, fabrication requirements and client-specific deliverables for each assignment.

Drawing Package Development
From Design Information to Fabrication & Erection Drawings
Steel detailing work starts with the design intent and project requirements, then develops the model and drawings needed for fabrication and field use.
Typical Drawing Package
The final package should be defined from the agreed scope, project standards and fabrication requirements.
Member DrawingsDetailed steel-member information for fabrication.
Assembly DrawingsAssembly-level documentation for fabrication and fit-up.
Erection LayoutsField-oriented layouts for member identification and placement.
Plans, Elevations & SectionsCoordinated project views supporting structural understanding.
Connection InformationConnection detailing and interface documentation where included in scope.
Material InformationBOM, takeoff and embedded-material information where required.
Structural Elements
Steel Components & Project Elements Covered
Detailing requirements can span primary structural framing and miscellaneous steel elements within the same project.

Steel Detailing Workflow
From Project Inputs to Coordinated Steel Deliverables
A controlled workflow helps organize structural inputs, model development, drawing production, review and project revisions.
Review Design InputsStructural and architectural drawings, specifications, standards and required deliverables are reviewed.
Develop Structural ModelFraming, members, connections and miscellaneous-steel elements are developed according to the scope.
Prepare DrawingsShop, fabrication, erection and supporting project documentation are developed.
Coordinate & ReviewModel and drawing information are checked against design inputs and project requirements.
Revise & IssueApproved revisions are incorporated and the agreed steel detailing package is prepared for issue.
