What is Steel Detailing?
Steel detailing is the drafting process used to assist the fabrication of hot & cold rolled steel. A steel detailer uses the structural engineers’ drawings, architects drawings to produce a 3D CAD Model using specialist steel drafting software such as Tekla & Advance Steel. From the 3D CAD model, the CAD Technician will produce a set of clear, unmistakable and accurate drawings for the purpose of steelwork fabrication.

How do we detail steel work?
At Restoric Design we use Autodesk Advance Steel as our preferred steel detailing CAD software package for the fabrication industry. Our steel detailers work closely with fabricators, architects, structural engineers and installers to guaranty a successful project.
We will set out the steelwork 3D CAD Models as to the architects’ drawings and size the sections as the structural engineer’s drawings. Based on the 3D Steel Model we will produce a General Assembly Drawing for approval. Once approval has been gained by the relevant parties a full set of Fabrication Drawings is produced.
What is Steel Detailing used for?
Steel detailing is the process of producing Fabrication Drawings. Fabrication drawings are a specific type of drawing. used by the Fabrication Industry to produce steel members. The drawings will specify steel section sizes, length, hole locations etc. Further, they will contain the information for the steel erectors to assemble the steel. Fabrication Drawings are usually used for 1 off’s or per job/project bases (compared to Manufacturing Drawings). They are mainly used in:
- Structural Steel
- Sheet Metal
- Architectural Steelwork
- Ballustrading/Handrails
- Stairs
- Platforms
