Steel CAD Drafting Services in San Diego, CA
At CAD Drafters, we offer steel CAD Drafting services to general contractors, engineers, and fabricators extensively throughout the San Diego, CA area. Our skilled professionals specialize in the production of fabrication and erection drawings for many types of structural steel frames including commercial high-rises, industrial facilities, coastal infrastructure, and custom residential projects.
Structural Steel Fabrication Drawings
We develop comprehensive steel fabrication drawings outlining every beam, column, plate, and connection in the steel structure. Each drawing details the precise dimensions, type of weld, size of bolt, material specification, and finish required. These drawings are “shop ready” and relay all the information necessary for the fabrication team to produce the components which will fit perfectly during assembly eliminating wastage and costly production delays.
Steel Framing Layouts
Our steel framing layout drawings offer a complete, dimensionally accurate depiction of the entire structural frame. The layouts graphically describe the exact position, direction, and simply modular alignment of each steel member according to the architectural and foundation plans. Strict tolerances can be maintained with referenced location controls. This ensures that the construction team does not unintentionally induce any costly misalignment, and that every beam, column, anchor, etc. will fit together within the structural grid.
Steel Connection Details
We also give complete documentation of welded, bolted and moment connections, plate thicknesses, weld symbols and hardware specifications. Such connection drawings make things more understandable to both the fabricators and the inspectors assure the integrity and strength of every joint to your steel structure.
Rebar and Reinforcement Drawings.
Bar bends, lap lengths, splices, stirrups, and development lengths are marked over with an accurate dimension. This information can assist fabricators and installers to be precise in rebar installation to enhance structural performance and durability of concrete reinforced steel assemblies.
Odds and Ends Steel Drawings.
In addition to the basic structural items, we also make miscellaneous steel drawings of structural and support items including stairs, ladders, handrails, catwalks, canopies, and brackets. All the elements are designed with accurate material specification, the method of connection and finish specifications, so that there is a perfect integration with the main steel framework to satisfy both the functional and aesthetic project requirements.
3D BIM Steel Modeling
Through Building Information Modeling (BIM) we develop smart 3D steel models that depict all connections, components and assemblies prior to the start of the fabrication. These models allow the early clash detection, coordination with other building systems (e.g. MEP or architectural components), and better sequencing when installing it.
