Steel Shop Drawing Services Texas
CAD Drafters Texas provides steel shop drawing services that are compliant with building codes and are executed to an exceptional level of detail and accuracy. Among our highly-trained drafting experts, we prepare full-scale layouts and fabrication drawings for any type of steel building structure, and ensure that the drawings accurately depict the design intent for timely installation once delivered to the jobsite. Our CAD and BIM software ultimately assists contractors, engineers, and/or fabricators minimize the amount of corrective work, enhance coordination of drawing sets, and promote overall project efficiency with our detailing services.
Structural Steel Fabrication Drawings
At CAD Drafters Texas, we place great emphasis on creating fabricated assemblies and corresponding drawings that reflect correct dimensions and comply with all applicable codes. Our detail drawings will ensure that all pieces fit together correctly once built and are, therefore, the basis of a smooth fabrication process. By using the correct dimensions and code-compliant designs, we work together to minimize errors and costly repair work while providing the greatest efficiency and integrity in the structure to be built.
Steel Framing Layout Drawings
We provide steel framing layout drawings that show the exact location and alignment of all structural members in your building structure. Every layout drawing is carefully prepared so the layout can work in concert with the architectural plans and foundation plans. This method of preparation allows a visual understanding of the entire structural framework before fabrication actually begins.
Steel Connection Details
The steel connection details that we provide are refined drawings that create high definitions in the bolted, welded, and moment connections to ensure that your steel is structurally stable and sound. Each connection has been engineered and documented according to AISC specifications and the building codes of Texas so that the client will have peace of mind that the steel connections provide a durable and safe structure.
Reinforcement & Rebar Drawings
Our rebar and reinforcement drawings are designed to provide a comprehensive picture of spacing, bending shapes, lap lengths, and schedules for reinforced concrete structures. We specify exact spacing, tagging, and material to help the fabrication and installation processes go as smooth and error-free as possible. At CAD Drafters Texas, we ensure that all details meet ACI and ASTM standards while remaining compatible with the project’s structural and architectural designs.
Miscellaneous Steel Drawings
In addition to the main structural steel fabrication, we create miscellaneous iron drawings for assemblies such as ladders, staircases, handrails, catwalks, canopies, and brackets. Each of these custom iron components or assemblies has specific fabrication and installation details to make it easy to tie into the main structural steel. Our drafters include connection details, material finishes, and anchoring details to reduce questions in the field and ensure safety and aesthetics are maintained.
BIM & 3D Steel Modeling
Using the latest BIM and 3D modeling tools, CAD Drafters Texas creates intelligent steel-models that improve visualization, coordination, and overall control of the project. These highly-detailed digital models inform stakeholders of potential clashes on-site between structural steel, MEP, and architectural systems before fabrication and significant time is wasted on-site resolving issues. We use intelligent BIM models to create projects with more efficiency, transparency, and innovation.

Façade Shop Drawing Services Texas
CAD Drafters Texas produces precise and visually concrete façade shop drawings that reflect design intent as well as constructability. Our detailers collaborate with contractors, fabricators, and architects to provide high-quality drawings for curtain walls, cladding and other facade systems that follow the building code in Texas.
Curtain Wall and Glazing Drawings
Our curtain wall and glazing shop drawings provide complete detailing of each building component for the exterior façade, such as mullions, transoms, glass panels, and sealant joints. We draft with precision, so the integration of materials and hardware will be seamless in the factory and onsite. Additionally, CAD Drafters Texas considers the specific weather region we work in for heat and wind loads, so each curtain wall system is as beautiful as it is compliant with the local energy and safety codes.
Drawings for Cladding and Panel Systems
The cladding and panel system drawings we produce are created with enough detail to assure installation accuracy and high performance. We leverage precision layouts, anchor strategies, and sectional drawings for numerous products types; aluminum composite panels, stone veneers and metal cladding systems are only a few of the wide range of materials we cover. All drawings contain anchoring methods, joint designs, and material/element specifications which meet Texas residential codes and thermal insulation. By incorporating moisture control and air barrier details, we help ensure your building envelope performs resiliently over time to accommodate different Texas climate conditions.
Façade Coordination - BIM
We integrate the cladding shop drawings into Building Information Modeling (BIM) environments for seamless coordination across disciplines. BIM allows the architectural, mechanical and structural teams to work together in real-time to coordinate details and minimize clashes and improve buildability. CAD Drafters Texas leverages this high-level process to identify issues before they impact costs, minimize rework, and improve communication between project teams. In turn, this means faster approvals, better accuracy in the field and less difficulty coordinating construction
