Benefits of Pre-detailing in Structural steel design & Shop fabrication
One of the major difficulties in any construction schedule is the delay between award of fabrication and production of steel detail drawings for fabrication. Many times the fabricator sub-contract detailing work to steel detailing company after receiving project approval. This process is further delayed by changes in RFI, approval process between the fabricator, detailing company and engineer of record (EoR).
Today Intelligent 3D Modeling software like Tekla Structures, AutoCAD and Revit has changed the way we deal with any fabrication assignment. 3D modeling approach is far more efficient, simple and cost-effective. You can build an intelligent 3D model of structural steel any time – in the earlier stage of conceptual design or in the later phase of the bid drawings become public!
Advantages of Pre-detailing are as below:
- With Pre-detailing the detailer can have direct contact with the EoR – this allows faster redressal of issues as they arise.
- Pre-detailing generates quicker response to the changes in RFIs and can virtually remove the entire approval phase.
- Changes are only handled by the detailer and not the fabricator which results in lower costs.
- Shop detail drawings can be produced in record time.
- With 3D model cost estimates and material take-offs can be generated with few clicks.
- You can have advance bill of material (BoM) ready at the time of bidding or grant.
- Intelligent 3D Modeling helps you detect interference, get clearances for equipment and reduce errors to a large extent. The same 3D model can be reviewed or imported across different software platforms and all construction disciplines
- The erection crew can easily visualize the whole structure in real time something that 2D drawings will never accomplish.
- With pre-detailing steel detailing is possible simultaneously with bid evaluation.
- You can have tentative steel detail drawings and part drawings ready well before the bidding process or award of fabrication, making the project bids very competitive and accurate.
- You can use multiple fabricators to accelerate the project proceedings.
- The Structural engineer of record (EoR) can have more control over the project.
It is important to note that above mentioned advantages helps contractor shrink the steel delivery schedule, improve quality and overall profitability.
