Structural Drafting, Detailing & Fabrication Documentation
Structural Steel Drafting for Fabrication, Erection & Project Coordination
Global Detailing & Designing provides structural steel drafting and detailing support for structural engineers, designers, fabricators and project teams.
Project scope can include structural steel detailing, general arrangement drawings, erection drawings, Structures 3D Modeling & Detailing, advanced bill of materials, miscellaneous-metal detailing, quantity takeoffs, joist and deck detailing, steel estimation, connection sketches, drawing indexes and fabrication drawings.
Drafting packages are developed around the available structural and architectural drawings, project standards, connection information, fabrication requirements and defined deliverables.

Structural Drafting Workflow
From Project Inputs to Coordinated Drafting Deliverables
A structured workflow helps organize design information, modeling, drawing production, material information, review and project revisions.
Review Design InputsStructural and architectural drawings, standards, connection information and deliverables are reviewed.
Develop Model / Framing InformationStructural framing and project geometry are developed according to the agreed drafting scope.
Prepare Drawings & Material DataGA drawings, erection drawings, shop drawings, ABM and related outputs are developed.
Coordinate & ReviewDrafting information is checked against the supplied project inputs and requirements.
Revise & IssueApproved changes are incorporated and the agreed drafting package is prepared for project use.
