GL-01Structural
Structural Steel Detailing Indiana
Structural steel detailing turns an engineer's design drawings into the piece-by-piece drawings a fabricator builds from. We produce full detailing packages - beams, columns, connections, and bracing - for Indiana fabricators and contractors, checked against AISC 360 and the project's specific structural steel specification. Every member is sized, marked, and cross-referenced to the erection sequence before release. This is our core service and the foundation every other detailing package on this page builds on, used across commercial, industrial, and warehouse construction throughout the Calumet Region and central Indiana.

GL-06BIM
Structural Steel BIM Modeling Indiana
Structural steel BIM modeling builds a full 3D model of the steel frame for coordination, clash detection, and drawing extraction. We model the complete structure in Tekla Structures, including every connection, bolt, and weld, so that shop and erection drawings are extracted directly from a single coordinated model rather than drawn separately. This eliminates dimension mismatches between drawing sheets and supports clash checking against architectural and MEP models. Indiana general contractors and fabricators use this service on projects where multi-trade coordination is critical to avoiding field conflicts.
