A key concept in steel design and construction is to always work one piece of steel or assembly one time. Once a piece is engineered, it gets detailed then fabricated and then erected.

The Structural Steel Designer produces design calculations to prove that the structure will deal with the normal loadings that are estimated during the life of the building, as well as those that can be expected during extreme events, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and fire.

The Structural Steel Designer develops drawings that are in turn used by the steel detailer to make workshop drawings for use by the steel fabricator. The preliminary design of multi-story steel structures and lengthy steel spans is generally predicated first on how effectively the structure will withstand a major earthquake.

Constructability as a design concept can be the initial step in the integration of the process of steel design, fabrication and installation, and will enable the design professional to develop creative solutions and bring enhanced value to the client. Structural steel design involves better understanding of the various kinds of steel and steel-based alloys, confidence on formulas describing load-bearing capacity and stress-resistance, among other factors, steel columns, beams, braces, hangers & connectors and the mathematics of building construction.

Shop drawings have become most necessary part of almost every building construction project. Shop drawings also used to complete the unit and to define who is responsible for their supply and installation. It also helps in completing the review process at a lower cost, thus increasing your savings and profit. These shop drawings greatly help construction companies in getting maximum benefits in their business because the information provided by these drawings is very important.

Shop drawing should address the appearance, performance and prescriptive descriptions in the specifications and construction drawings. The shop drawing often is more detailed than the information shown in the construction documents to give the architect and engineer the opportunity to review the fabricator version of the product, prior to fabrication.
