Precision-Driven Shop Drawings for Accurate Steel Fabrication and Flawless Erection

At Built in BIM, we provide end-to-end Steel Fabrication Shop Drawing Services that translate design intent into highly detailed and fabrication-ready outputs. Our steel shop drawings support fabricators, erectors, and contractors with exact specifications required to fabricate, assemble, and install structural steel components—on time and without costly rework.
From structural beams and columns to complex bracing systems, stairs, ladders, and platforms, we deliver precise 2D and 3D shop drawings that align with AISC, NISD, BS, and Eurocode standards. Our detailing ensures every bolt, weld, notch, and cut is clearly defined—enabling seamless coordination between steel fabrication shops and on-site installation teams.

Our Steel Shop Drawing Capabilities Include

01

Erection Drawings

Accurate layout and placement drawings for site crews—showing how steel members are installed in sequence with dimensions, elevations, and connections.

02

Single Part & Assembly Drawings

Fabrication drawings for individual components (plates, angles, beams) and assemblies with weld symbols, bolt sizes, cut lengths, and material specs.

03

3D Structural Steel Modeling

High-fidelity 3D BIM models of steel structures, enabling clash detection, constructability checks, and fabrication planning.

04

Bolt & Weld Maps

Detailed maps specifying weld types, sizes, and bolt locations to ensure clarity for shop floor workers.

05

Material Take-Off (MTO) & BOM

Bill of materials with accurate quantity take-offs to streamline procurement, fabrication, and project costing.

06

Connection Details & Custom Fittings

Precise detailing of bolted, welded, and shop-welded connections to match project-specific structural requirements.

07

NC Files for CNC Machines

We deliver machine-ready files (DSTV/NC1) for automated cutting, punching, and drilling

Built in BIM's Detailing Workflow

01

Input Gathering

We receive structural drawings, connection specs, material grades, and fabrication preferences.

02

BIM Model Setup

Steel models are created in Tekla/Advance Steel with exact geometry, orientation, and section profiles.

03

Connection Engineering

Connection types, weld thicknesses, and bolt arrangements are finalized based on load and standard codes.

04

Detailing & Annotation

2D shop drawings are created with callouts for holes, welds, bolts, notches, and cut angles.

05

Material & CNC Outputs

We generate BOMs, DXFs, NC1 files, and tag lists for production.

06

Quality Review & Delivery

Drawings are peer-reviewed, checked against design specs, and delivered in DWG, PDF, or IFC formats.
