| To complement our range of services, our quality controlled drawing office produce conceptual design and detail work for structural and mechanical projects in CAD or StruCAD using AutoCad LT 2004.
Our wealth of experience and unmatched service enables us to overcome the most challenging briefs and to provide innovative solutions to improve build ability and reduce cost. With our “real-time” connection to the Fabrication Plant, the process of design to manufacture is seamless and allows the kind of flexibility necessary in managing turnkey projects. |
Ask a quantity surveyor why a building ended up as steel or concrete and you will rarely get an answer about material properties. You will get an answer about a programme: the tender came in tight, the site was constrained, the crane count was fixed, or the client wanted to trade floors fast. Frame choice in UK commercial construction is …
Walk into any structural engineering office and ask which BIM platform produces better fabrication-ready steel models, and you will get two answers delivered with religious conviction. Tekla loyalists will tell you that Revit is a building modeller pretending to handle steel, while Revit advocates will insist that Tekla is a specialist tool trapped in a narrow silo. The truth, as …
The days of paper-based construction coordination are long gone. Historically, the architectural design, structural calculations, and mechanical layouts of a building were developed in isolation, with coordination meetings relying on overlapping translucent drawings to spot physical conflicts. This fragmented approach often led to critical design errors being discovered only when heavy structural components arrived on the active job site. Today, …
In the high-stakes arena of commercial construction and industrial engineering, the journey of a structural steel beam from a conceptual sketch to a load-bearing column is fraught with potential missteps. Historically, the drawing office and the fabrication workshop operated as two separate kingdoms, divided by a chasm of paper blueprints, manual measurements, and fragmented communication. When a draftsman made a …
