The Construction industry is evolving with the growing technology used in the structural steel industry which is resulting in project designers and steel detailers working together to build a 3D model that can be accessed by all trades.
This is known as BIM technology (Building Information Modeling). This method of design is becoming more popular as it is proving to save time and money in coordinating the trades involved in the building process. By using a 3d design model accessible to all trades an accurate impression of the project can be developed from the start allowing the user to see how all facets of construction come together before any construction has started. Please take time to watch this video which details what BIMsight can offer. For more information go to: www.teklabimsight.com
Once the design is finalised Xtech Drafting can then take this model and begin the process of shop detailing for fabrication. With the use of the latest 3D detailing package Tekla Structures (Xsteel), our company can provide the following:
Shop drawings and Fittings for fabrication
Detailed marking plans including 3D
H.D Bolt plans and details
Material lists / Bolt reports
Custom reports to suit fabrication and erection requirements
Shop drawings and report data for purlin and girt sections
