Structural Steel Detailing Services We Offer

Process Workflow

At Techture, we follow a standard process and workflow for every BIM-related task, which is then monitored by our in-house Technical Team of expert Coordinators. The BIM model is detailed to incorporate all the construction execution information, including fabrication components. Once the Design BIM Model has been prepared at the LOD 300 stage, we carry out stringent processes of Clash Detection and Model coordination. This ensures that the model is accurate, coordinated, and compatible for subsequent fabrication processes and suitable to be taken to the LOD 400 stage.

  • Input & Design Review
    We start by reviewing architectural and structural design drawings to understand project requirements and design intent.
  • 3D Steel Modeling
    A detailed 3D model is created with all steel members, connections, and framing systems using advanced BIM tools.
  • Clash Detection & Coordination
    We run thorough clash checks to identify and resolve any issues with other trades, ensuring smooth site execution.
  • Connection Design & Detailing
    Precise connections are modeled based on engineering standards and client specifications for fabrication readiness.
  • Shop Drawing Generation
    Fabrication-ready shop drawings are extracted from the model, including part, assembly, and GA drawings.
  • Bill of Materials (BOM)
    A detailed BOM is generated directly from the model to support accurate procurement and cost estimation.
  • Quality Checks & Final Delivery
    All drawings and models go through rigorous in-house quality control before final submission to ensure 100% accuracy.

Benefits of Our Steel Detailing Services

Consistent Drawings

The shop drawings are generated using 3D BIM Models and hence are consistent with no scope of manual errors. If there are any updates to the model, the plans, sections, details and schedules all update in real time, ensuring correct data in every construction document.

Quick and Accurate

The shop drawing process creation can be automated for a lot of disciplines, ensuring that all the outputs are generated extremely fast and according to a set of defined rules and standards.

Build Offsite

Since we build virtual, we put in a lot of thought into value engineering and planning into how costs, delays and wastage can be reduced. Use of BIM based shop drawing workflows encourages off-site and prefab construction which also contributes to a more sustainable project.
