What we offer
Our Services
Structural engineers who specialize in drafting and detailing services primarily focus on producing accurate and comprehensive technical drawings and documentation for various construction and engineering projects. These professionals play a crucial role in translating design concepts into detailed, actionable plans. Here are the key services provided by a structural engineer in the field of drafting:
Revit and BIM Modeling
Utilizing Building Information Modeling (BIM) software like Revit to create 3D models and associated 2D drawings for enhanced coordination and visualization.
Quantity Takeoffs
Estimating the quantities of materials required for construction based on the drafted plans, which can be used for cost estimation and procurement.
Code Compliance
Ensuring that all drawings comply with local building codes, regulations, and industry standards.
Quality Control
Conducting quality checks and reviews to maintain the accuracy and integrity of the drawings and documentation.
Construction Documents
Preparing comprehensive construction documents, such as drawings and specifications, which contractors use for construction purposes.
Foundation Plans
Developing foundation plans that illustrate the design and layout of footings, piers, and other foundation elements.
Retaining Wall Details
Drafting drawings for retaining walls that specify the dimensions, materials, and reinforcement needed to support earth and resist lateral pressure.
Coordination with Other Disciplines
Collaborating with architects, mechanical and electrical engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure that structural drawings align with the overall project design.
Digital Drafting Tools
Proficiency in using drafting software and tools, such as AutoCAD, to produce accurate and professional drawings
Drawings
Architectural Drawings
Creating architectural plans that include floor plans, elevations, and sections, which serve as a foundation for structural design.
Fabrication Drawings
Creating fabrication and shop drawings that guide the manufacturing and assembly of structural components like steel beams, trusses, and precast concrete elements.
Reinforcement Drawings
Producing reinforcement drawings that specify the size, location, and arrangement of reinforcing bars (rebar) in concrete structures.
Structural Drawings
Developing detailed structural drawings that depict the structural framework of a building, including columns, beams, foundations, and structural connections.
As-Built Drawings
Creating as-built drawings that document the actual construction and record any deviations from the original design.
Connection Details
Providing detailed connection design and drawings for how structural components are joined or attached to ensure stability and strength.
Drafting for Renovations and Retrofits
Preparing drawings for renovation and retrofit projects, including structural modifications and alterations to existing buildings.
