Services
3D Modeling
Our 3D modeling services utilize SDS/2 software to create precise digital representations of structural steel components. This technology enables virtual assembly verification, reducing field errors by up to 70% through automated connection calculations. Clients receive validated models that streamline fabrication and erection processes.
Steel Detailing
We provide comprehensive steel detailing solutions including shop drawings, field erection plans, and material takeoffs. Our team leverages 30+ years of combined experience with SDS/2 software to deliver dimensionally accurate documentation that meets AISC quality standards for complex construction projects.
BIM Models
Our BIM modeling services create intelligent 3D digital representations containing geometric and functional data. These models facilitate clash detection, improve coordination between disciplines, and serve as central repositories for project information throughout the construction lifecycle.
CNC Files
We generate precision CNC-compatible files directly from validated 3D models. These digital outputs ensure seamless integration with fabrication equipment, maintaining dimensional accuracy while reducing manual programming time by up to 40% for steel manufacturing operations.
Project Validation
Our validation process digitally tests structural connections and assembly sequences using SDS/2's analytical tools. This proactive approach identifies potential conflicts before fabrication, reducing rework costs by an average of 25% across commercial and industrial construction projects.
