Project & document review
Review contract documents, IFC drawings, specifications, approved design information, connection requirements and project standards before detailing begins.
3D modeling
Develop the structural steel model using the approved project information. Verify grids, elevations, member sizes, orientations and model geometry.
Connection detailing
Detail connections, plates, bolts, welds and fit-up requirements based on approved engineering information and project specifications.
Drawings & BOM
Prepare shop and erection drawings and bills of material from the checked model. Maintain consistency between model, drawings and schedules.
Independent checking
A checker independently verifies the model and drawings before controlled issue. Identified comments are resolved and rechecked as required.
CNC/DSTV output
Generate CNC/DSTV files from the checked model and perform the applicable output verification before release.
Release & document control
Issue approved drawings and files with the correct revision, status and drawing register information.
Revision control
Record revisions, identify changes, update affected documents and repeat the applicable checking before re-issue.
