SOFTWARE CAN PROVIDE AN ADVANTAGE
AMERICA HAS A GREAT FUTURE WITH SOFTWARE
THE STRUCTURAL STEEL FABRICATION INDUSTRY IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR AN ADVANTAGE AND COST SAVING.
BUSINESS LIKES EASY DECISIONS.
Our owners have developed several programs and scripts that can greatly increase the quality of detailed drawings
and also reduce the cost. Since we work with pdf documents extensively, we have worked and become experts in developing
scripts that work with pdf.
The most recent development is a software script that (when inserted into traditional purchased structural 3D modelling software) can read
most structural pdf design drawings and can create most or some, of a 3D model in minutes by reading directly from the pdf.
We feel that this script gives us an advantage in the detailing industry. It is now easier for American fabricators to choose
to use American detailers to provide their shop drawings, where in the past they might have chosen overseas detailers
from India.
American fabricators always prefer to use American detailers to create shop drawings, but they also
must always be concious of cost in everything included in their project.
We have done everything possible to
be able to provide detailed shop drawings that can be trusted for accuracy and are affordable in price.
When combined with the PRO-CHECK software checking system that we use, we can provide impeccable shop drawings that can be trusted.
We have several other proprietary programs and scripts that work with the purchased 3D software to increase accuracy and reduce time. We have programs that can check pdf layouts to make certain that ALL assembly marks are included in the
layout drawings. We have programs that can examine the layouts and determine which assembly marks appear on which layouts and then can create a report that can be imported back into the 3D software. This information can then appear on the assembly drawings to make work easier for the erector.
Of course, the real advantage is the checking service. RFI Checking Service provides an independent checking service that can be trusted. Accuracy checking is everything and without accurate checking every other software advantage is simply creating risk. Accurate checking is our greatest advantage because that checking can be trusted.
We have developed modern database methods to keep track of unanswered RFI and to make certain that changes and RFI responses are included in the models.
Modern methods of managing emails is essential in todays fast paced detailing environment.
If you have an idea of a method that if developed, could assist the detailing industry let us know.
We will consult with our software developers, who are very knowledgable and might be able to develop a program to meet your need.
