01 · What We Do

Detailing that fabricates cleanly — every drawing, every time.

We are a small, principal-led detailing firm. Every project is touched by senior detailers and managed end-to-end so nothing falls between the lines on your shop drawings.

01

Structural Steel Detailing

Fabrication and erection drawings, NC1 files, KISS exports, and model deliverables ready for the beam line and the field crew.

Connection Modeling

Engineer-driven connection details modeled natively in Tekla, optimized for the fabricator's preferred shop practices and bolt schedules.

BIM Coordination

Multi-trade clash detection, RFI management, and federated model coordination so issues are resolved on screen, not on the steel.

02 · How We Work

Five stages.
One detailer
on your project.

Detailing Group is principal-led. The same senior team that quotes your work models it, draws it, and answers the phone when you have a question on the shop floor.

01 / 05

Discovery & Scope

We review your contract drawings, structural notes, and fabrication preferences. You get a fixed, line-item quote — no surprises.

02 / 05

Tekla Modeling

Your project is built as a single source of truth in Tekla Structures — every plate, every bolt, every dimension.

03 / 05

Detailing & Outputs

Fabrication drawings, erection drawings, NC files, KISS files, material reports, and IFC exports — formatted for your shop.

04 / 05

Review & RFI Management

We drive the RFI process aggressively. Information gaps are closed before they reach your beam line.

05 / 05

Delivery & Support

Drawings released by package. Revisions tracked. Shop questions answered by the detailer who modeled the work — not a help desk.

03 · Selected Work

From the Gigafactory to the
airside terminal.

A 25-year portfolio across commercial, industrial, civic, and residential steel — for some of the most demanding fabricators in the country.

05 · Client Voices

The people who
fabricate the steel.

We've been told over the years that the difference is the drawings — but the truth is, it's the people behind them. Here's what our clients say.

We would all like to express our sincere appreciation to all of our clients throughout the years, many of which we are still detailing for. We look forward to many more years of successful projects and relationships.

DG's drawings hit the shop floor ready to cut. We don't budget rework on their packages — and that's a sentence we don't get to say very often.
