Our Engineering Process

Systematic Workflow for Precision & Quality

Streamlined 7-Step Process

From project intake to ongoing support, our proven workflow ensures 99.99% accuracy with 24-48 hour turnaround times for standard projects.

1

Intake & Review

Project Data Collection & Initial Analysis

We receive your project data including CAD drawings (DWG/DXF/PDF), specifications, material requirements, and Bill of Materials. Our team conducts an initial review to understand project scope, identify potential challenges, and establish timelines.

  • Receive drawings, specifications, and BOM
  • Review for completeness and clarity
  • Identify missing information or conflicts
  • Coordinate with your team for clarifications
  • Establish project timeline and milestones
  • Assign dedicated project team
2

Analysis & Optimization

Engineering Review for Fabrication Efficiency

Our engineers analyze the design for fabrication optimization opportunities. We identify material savings through nesting optimization, evaluate connection efficiency, and recommend improvements that reduce shop-floor time without compromising structural integrity.

  • Evaluate design for fabrication efficiency
  • Identify material optimization opportunities
  • Review connection design for shop-friendliness
  • Analyze nesting possibilities (15-25% savings)
  • Recommend design improvements
  • Coordinate with structural engineer if needed
3

3D Modeling & Detailing

Precision Digital Construction

Using Tekla Structures, SDS2, or other advanced software, we create accurate 3D models of your project. All members, connections, bolts, welds, and details are modeled to shop and field standards. The 3D model serves as the single source of truth for all downstream processes.

  • Create 3D BIM model (Tekla, SDS2, Revit)
  • Model all structural members to specifications
  • Detail connections, bolts, and welds
  • Coordinate with architectural and MEP trades
  • Clash detection using Navisworks
  • Generate shop and erection drawings
4

Generate Production Files

Fabrication-Ready Data Package

From the 3D model, we generate all files needed for fabrication: shop drawings, advanced BOM, cut lists, NC files for CNC machines, DXF files for nesting, and material reports. All data is optimized for your specific shop equipment and workflow.

  • Shop assembly and single-piece drawings
  • Advanced Bill of Materials (BOM)
  • Cut lists sorted by material and sequence
  • NC code for CNC plasma, laser, oxy-fuel
  • DXF files for nesting software
  • Material utilization reports
  • Bolt lists and weld schedules
5

QA & Verification

Multi-Level Quality Control

Every deliverable goes through rigorous quality assurance. Our checkers verify dimensions, connections, quantities, and compliance with project specifications. We use automated checking tools combined with manual review to achieve 99.99% accuracy before release.

  • Automated model checking (Tekla, SDS2)
  • Manual QA review by senior checkers
  • Verify dimensions, quantities, and details
  • Check compliance with specifications
  • Validate NC code through simulation
  • Peer review for complex connections
  • Final approval by project manager
6

Delivery

Complete Production Package

We deliver the complete production package via your preferred method (FTP, cloud storage, email). All files are organized, clearly labeled, and ready for immediate use on the shop floor. We provide transmittal documents detailing all deliverables.

  • Organize all files in logical structure
  • Upload to FTP, Dropbox, Google Drive, or email
  • Provide detailed transmittal document
  • Include revision history and notes
  • Coordinate delivery timing with production schedule
  • Confirm receipt and file integrity
7

Ongoing Support

Responsive Fabrication Support

Our support doesn't end at delivery. We remain available to answer questions, provide clarifications, handle revisions, and support your shop floor during fabrication. Need a quick change? We turn around minor revisions in <24 hours to keep your production moving.

  • Answer questions during fabrication
  • Provide clarifications and additional details
  • Handle design changes and revisions
  • Support field coordination issues
  • Quick turnaround on revision requests
  • Maintain communication throughout project
