Structural Steel Detailing & Modelling
Detailed structural information from model through to fabrication.
Accurate structural steel detailing is critical to translating engineering design into information that can be effectively fabricated and constructed.
What We Deliver
Our specialist team works alongside engineers, fabricators and contractors to develop detailed models and documentation that support coordination, fabrication and installation.
01
3D structural steel modelling
Accurate 3D structural steel models built from your design, ready to support detailing, coordination and fabrication.
02
Fabrication and shop drawings
Fabrication and shop drawings prepared to a standard your shop floor can work from directly.
03
Assembly and erection drawings
Assembly and erection drawings that give your site team a clear, buildable sequence for installation.
04
Connection detailing support
Connection detailing support that resolves member-to-member connections ahead of fabrication.
05
Material information and schedules
Material schedules and information prepared alongside your drawings, so ordering and fabrication run on accurate quantities.
06
Model coordination
Model coordination across trades to resolve clashes before they reach the shop floor or site.
How It Supports Your Business
Increase detailing capacity, improve coordination and provide accurate fabrication-ready information to support efficient manufacture and installation.
Increase Detailing Capacity
Accelerate fabrication start dates with rapid submittal of verified shop drawing packages.
Improve Coordination
Ensure steel frames erect flawlessly on site with zero field cutting or re-drilling.
Fabrication-Ready Outputs
Provide accurate fabrication-ready information to support efficient manufacture and installation.
Software We Work In
We work within the software and platforms already used across architecture and engineering practice, adapting to the tools your team relies on.
Tekla Structures
Tekla Structures is a BIM software used to design and detail building structures especially steel and concrete with high-precision fabrication data.
Frequently Asked Questions
We work within your project’s engineering documentation and detailing software. We model and detail to what the engineer of record has specified; we don’t make engineering decisions ourselves.
Models and shop drawings are checked against the engineering documentation and fabrication requirements before issue, so connection details, assemblies, and material schedules match what’s been specified and coordinate with the rest of the project.
Turnaround depends on the scope and complexity of the work. We agree a timeline as part of scoping, once we understand what’s involved, so you know what to expect before anything starts.
Built Around the Way You Work
Whether you need support for a specific project, additional capability during periods of high demand or a dedicated team working as an extension of your business, Realcognita can tailor its support around your existing systems, standards and workflows.
