Client: Structural Steel Fabricator, Glasgow
Service: Structural Steel Shop Drawing Production
Challenge: Incomplete Drawings Causing On-Site Confusion
A Glasgow-based steel fabrication company was tired of frequent RFIs and installation delays on site. Their structural steel shop drawings were often missing bolt specifications, weld symbols, and connection details—leading to constant calls from site supervisors and slowing down erection work.
On a multi-storey commercial build, they wanted to turn things around. They needed a partner who could deliver clear, detailed, and accurate steel shop drawings—ready for immediate use by fabrication teams and site crews.
Our Solution: Comprehensive Steel Shop Drawings UK
We took over drawing production for the entire steel package. Working directly from structural engineer markups and 3D models, we:
- Created part and assembly drawings with member callouts and exact cut lengths
- Detailed every connection using proper bolt tables and weld symbols
- Generated 3D exploded views to illustrate complex joins
- Organised drawing sets by floor and structural zone for easy referencing
Our team followed UK fabrication standards and cross-checked drawings against the model for accuracy before issuing.
Results: Fewer RFIs, Faster Steel Erection
Over a 6-month period, the client experienced major improvements:
- 80% reduction in RFIs from site crews
- Steel erection completed ahead of schedule
- Site supervisors required fewer drawing clarifications
- Improved confidence in pre-construction documentation
