Steel Structural Design Services
Structural Steel Design & Drawing Development
Structural Steel Design Services for Coordinated Project Delivery
Global Detailing & Designing provides structural steel design and drawing-development support for public, civic, commercial and residential steel structures.
Project work can include beams, posts, braces, roof-panel and floor-component requirements together with 2D / 3D design, modeling, calculation documentation, permit-drawing support and detailed shop drawings.
The engineering and drafting scope should be defined from the available structural and architectural information, design criteria, project standards and required deliverables for each assignment.
Core Design Services
Structural Design & Drawing Capabilities
The scope can be organized around the structural system, design criteria, required engineering documentation and downstream drawing package.
Structural Steel DesignProject-specific structural steel design support based on the available criteria and framing requirements.
2D Structural DesignPlan, section and detail development for structural project documentation.
3D Structural ModelingModel-based structural development supporting coordination and drawing production.
Calculation DocumentationDesign calculation information documented according to the agreed engineering scope.
Permit Drawing SupportInitial structural drawing packages supporting the defined project-review stage.
Detailed Shop DrawingsShop-drawing development based on the available structural design information.
Design Revision SupportApproved project changes incorporated into structural drawings and related documentation.
Structures 3D Modeling & DetailingCoordinated model information supporting structural review and downstream detailing.
Structural Components
Steel Members & Building Components Covered
Structural design support can address a range of primary and secondary steel components depending on the building system and defined scope.
