A structured approach that dramatically increases efficiency
Integrated Design Detailing is a methodology that accelerates construction by developing detailed fabrication 3d models when the structure is being designed by structural engineers.
This approach yields savings on costs and reductions in schedules.
A typical project worked under Integrated Design Detailing can be completed 30% to 40% of the time. It would be required under traditional detailing that starts after the fabrication contract has been awarded.
The Engineering company that holds the design contract deals directly with us, we start working when the design is about 50%, in this way, it is possible to have accurate material reports and detailed erection diagrams at the bidding stage.
When a fabricator is selected, we customize drawings to the fabricator’s standards and release a custom fabrication package.
Integrated Design Detailing brings benefits for the overall project
See how Integrated Design Detailing improves schedules
Commencing steel detailing early significantly influences the project schedule and key project indicators. Below is a comparison of a typical schedule for a 200-ton project between Integrated Design Detailing (a design-build approach) and traditional Steel Detailing initiated after the fabricator selection and fabrication contract award.
