How Our Steel Detailing Process Works
Share Your Project Details
Send us your drawings and project information. We’ll review the scope and provide an estimate, including timeline and deliverables. If more information is needed, we’ll reach out with clarifying questions.
Project Setup & Information Review
Once we receive your purchase order, we assign a Project Manager and begin our review. We check for missing details, prepare RFIs if needed, and confirm your shop standards and scheduling preferences.
Step 3: Modeling & Drafting
Our team develops a detailed 3D model using Tekla Structures. From the model, we produce:
- Structural steel shop drawings
- Miscellaneous steel detailing
- Erection drawings
- CNC outputs, material summaries, and reports
- BIM coordination files (if required)
We tailor file formats to your workflow and ensure each deliverable goes through a quality check.
Drawing Review & Ongoing Support
Drawings are submitted for review in your preferred format. Once approved, we send finalized files for fabrication.
HOW IT WORKS
At Compass Engineering Inc., we follow a clear, well-structured workflow. Our focus is on producing accurate drawings and smooth coordination with your team, not on rushing the process. Here’s how we typically approach each project.
If questions come up during fabrication or erection, we’re available to provide clarification or supplemental details as needed.
