Quick answer
Steel Detailing Services covers converting engineering design drawings into precise fabrication and erection documents that shops can cut, drill and weld from without guesswork. Done properly, it follows AISC 360, EN 1993, IS 800 and produces lod 400 tekla 3d model that a fabricator or reviewer can use without rework. Structural Engineering Services delivers steel detailing services to clients in 40+ countries with a senior-engineer review on every package.
What steel detailing services actually includes
Steel Detailing Services is the discipline of converting engineering design drawings into precise fabrication and erection documents that shops can cut, drill and weld from without guesswork. In practice a complete scope covers the full chain from design inputs to construction-ready output, not just a single drawing or calculation.
A typical steel detailing services package from our team includes: lod 400 tekla 3d model, single-part & assembly shop drawings, erection & ga drawings, bolt lists, nc/dstv & dxf files. Each deliverable is produced on licensed Tekla Structures, AutoCAD, Navisworks and passes an internal checker review before it reaches you.
How the work is delivered, step by step
Most engagements follow the same five-stage flow, whether the package is a single drawing or a multi-month frame agreement.
- Share inputs — design drawings, specifications and the project schedule.
- Free quote in 24 hours — fixed lump-sum, per-tonne, per-drawing or hourly.
- Model & engineer — built on Tekla Structures to AISC 360.
- Review & approve — internal check, then your comments closed fast.
- Issue for construction — lod 400 tekla 3d model and single-part & assembly shop drawings issued with revision control.
Which codes and standards govern steel detailing services
The governing standard depends on where your project is built. Our teams work daily to AISC 360, EN 1993, IS 800, AWS D1.1 and to client specifications such as Shell DEPs and major operator standards.
Getting the code basis agreed at kick-off is the single most effective way to avoid late-stage rework — it fixes load combinations, material grades, tolerances and documentation format before modeling starts.
When you need it — and when you don't
You need professional steel detailing services whenever the output feeds fabrication, regulatory review or a design-responsibility handover. Early concept sketches and feasibility studies can be lighter, but anything issued for construction should carry a checked, code-referenced package.
If you are unsure which level of detail your project needs, send us your inputs — a senior engineer will scope it honestly, even if that means telling you a smaller package will do.
