Steel detailers transform design drawings or design drafts, into meticulous diagrams for every single steel component, roofs joints, trusses, etc.
Furthermore, detailing drawings are prepared for steel members such as beams, columns, braces, stairs/staircases, ladders, handrails, metal decking and joists.
Drawings of steel pieces prepared by steel detailing companies known as shop drawings are required to accurately identify precise specifications for fabricating each steel member or steel piece.
These second set of drawings – erection drawings – provided steel detailers, essentially help in appropriate installation of structural steel frame work.
It makes them understand where to build and which fabricated steel pieces to use.
Erection drawings are critically important as they help erectors to identify steel members, and work required on site such as welding, bolting and also installing masonry anchors.
