Structural Steel Detailing

Steel detailing your shop floor can build from.

Fabrication and erection drawings for beams, columns, braces and trusses, modeled in Tekla Structures and delivered in your standards.

Built for fabricators, not just for review.

We model the job in Tekla Structures and produce the drawings your shop and erectors actually use: clear connection callouts, accurate bills of material and machine-ready files. We match your templates, title blocks, numbering and file formats, so the package drops straight into your workflow.

Every package goes through a multi-stage check before it ships. A detailer models it, a senior checker reviews it against design intent and AISC and IBC, and connection work gets review by an independently licensed PE. We clash-check in the model before anything reaches the shop.

FAQ

Questions fabricators ask.

Tekla Structures for steel models, with AutoCAD and Revit when your project needs them. We output CNC and DSTV files for the shop.

Cadlions LLC does not seal or certify documents. Where a job needs sealed calculations or connection design, that work is performed and sealed by an independently licensed Professional Engineer engaged for the project and licensed in its jurisdiction.
