Who prepares structural steel shop drawings?

The short answer

Specialist structural steel detailers. We take the architectural and engineering information and turn it into drawings and NC data that a fabrication shop can work from directly.

Some fabricators keep a drawing office in-house and send work out when it is full; others use an outside detailer on every job. Either way, the detailer becomes part of the fabricator's team for the length of the job.

We've been drawing steel for fabricators for over thirty years. Drawings follow your house style and marking conventions, so your fitters don't have to relearn anything.
