At KD&O STEEL, structural steel fabrication and detailing are at the core of what we do. One of the most critical services we offer to our clients is the creation of precise fabrication drawings and 3D models. This process ensures that every part of a steel project is fabricated and welded to exact specifications, minimizing delays and guaranteeing timely project completion.

Steel fabrication drawings serve as the blueprint for engineers, detailing the specific sizes, connections, and materials required for a project. These drawings help translate the architect’s and structural engineer’s designs into workable instructions for fabricators, ensuring that the steel is constructed accurately.

In the design and build process, architects conceptualize the overall structure, while structural engineers calculate the necessary elements to support it. Together, they produce drawings that form the foundation of steel fabrication plans. However, these initial designs alone aren't sufficient for fabricators. Advanced fabrication drawings, created using specialized software like Tekla, take these conceptual and structural drawings and transform them into detailed instructions needed for the actual construction process.

At KD&O STEEL, we use cutting-edge CAD and 3D modeling technology to create General Assembly (GA) drawings, which offer a comprehensive view of the entire steel structure. These GA drawings provide detailed information on column and beam positions, dimensions, connections, and any required heat treatments or finishes. The drawings are submitted for approval before moving forward with the steel fabrication.

Our 3D modeling capabilities also allow for visualizing complex connections and structures, which helps to avoid costly errors and miscommunication between architects, engineers, and fabricators. With real-scale models, we can identify and resolve any issues before the steel is cut, saving both time and money.

Additionally, our software for stock allocation helps minimize steel waste, making your project not only efficient but also cost-effective. KD&O STEEL ensures that your project benefits from top-tier steel detailing and fabrication services, delivered with precision and expertise.
