Services
Our firm offers a team-at-work approach which optimizes our clients’ schedules, allowing for on-time project management and precise drawings. As a certified NISD Quality Procedures Program member, our quality control measures guarantee accuracy and quality detailing. We value highly-qualified engineers and detailers and use Tekla Structures, state of the art software (Tekla Structures).
Products
We specialize in all types of commercial buildings and industrial structures. All of our work is first built in a computerized 3D Building Information Model (BIM). That BIM model represents a database of information regarding the structure. From that initial 3D model, we generate drawings, reports, and data useful to steel fabricators and erectors. That BIM model can also be utilized to include all aspects of the building data including, the Architectural Program and MEP (Mechanical, Engineering & Plumbing) systems.

Building Information Modeling
Tekla Structures is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) solution that streamlines project delivery for engineers, contractors, detailers, fabricators, and erectors. Tekla Structures allows us to create a complete 3-D digital model that simulates a real world structure. Using this 3-D model, we are able to produce accurate 2-D drawings for construction. We analyze the entire structural design and engineering process from start to finish. Our value-added services also include the development of customized library components specific for each customer and the creation of CNC data for automation.
