What Is The Role of Steel Detailer? What Techniques Do They Use?

Image
A steel detailer is a person responsible for producing detailed drawings that are required by steel fabricators. The detailer produces detailed plans and documents for the fabrication and erection of the steel members like trusses, beams, columns, handrails, and joists. A steel detailer mainly produces two types of drawings including shop drawings and erection drawings for steel members. What are shop drawings? Shop Drawings are the engineering drawings that are used for specifying exact detailing specification to fabricate individual steel member. It contains vital information like material lists, its size, and specification, dimension, welding, bolting, welding, etc. These drawings are then used by fabricators to manufacture components with precision. The drawings do not contain information on the erection or installation of the steel members.   What are erection drawings?    Erection drawings are the drawings used by installation crew to er...

4 Benefits of Outsourcing MEP Designs

Image
One of the most vital parts of a building design is MEP that stands for mechanical, electrical and plumbing department. An MEP design consists of design and construction, setup, functioning, and maintenance of all the three. It can be handled by the in-house engineering team but when manpower and technology fall short, it is advisable to take help of Outsourcing MEP Engineering Services .   Outsourcing MEP Design Services offers several benefits of reducing time and energy of the in-house team as well as increasing the productivity. Let’s see these advantages in detail: Some of the important benefits of outsourcing MEP Design Services are as follows: 1. Cost-effective: A firm may find it hard to fulfill the need of some clients especially in the case of large-scale projects. Resources like machines and technology, managing, training of the team members cost a lot. In this case, Outsourcing MEP Design Services may be helpful to suffice the project needs. This will be po...

Why Is Revit An Excellent Tool For Architectural Engineering?

Image
Building Information Modeling is an intelligent model-based approach that works on a single digital database. So, any changes made in this model is reflected throughout the Architectural Drawings . It was a common notion earlier that BIM is useful only for designers but today it is widely used by architects, engineers, contractors, and even owners for project management and development. BIM helps to construct buildings at:     • Greater Speed     • Lower Cost &     • Better Quality Construction documents involve a large amount of information related to the material list, the number of materials, and other specifications that are critical to any building project. BIM helps in producing these documents with much ease at a greater speed. These days architects are using Revit software for getting the benefits mentioned above. Architecture Revit Services can be used to its fullest when any changes are to be made in the ...

What Is The Role Of MEP Coordinator In Construction?

Image
Coordinating mechanical, electrical and plumbing(MEP) systems is a tough job for large-scale building projects like industries. It accounts for almost 40 percent of a building’s construction budget. MEP coordination is time-consuming and it requires expert guidance on each system for entire project lifecycle. Current practice in construction project requires MEP coordinator to bring sound perspective for making decisions among the project teams.  Why are MEP coordinators required?     • Owners do not have full knowledge pertaining to the engineering part of the MEP systems and thus they require a second opinion from MEP coordinator to take right decisions.     • Construction contractors require MEP coordinators to resolve any problems early during the initial stage of the project cycle rather than at the end. It is also costly to make changes after everything is purchased and installed on the site. Hence, MEP coordinators must be involv...
