Practical articles on structural steel detailing, BIM coordination and construction technology.
Structural steel detailing converts design drawings into the fabrication and erection documentation a shop and field crew actually build from.
Steel DetailingShop drawings and erection drawings serve different audiences on a steel project — here's how each is used and why the distinction matters.
BIMLevel of Development defines how much a BIM element can be trusted for a given purpose — LOD 400 is the level built for fabrication.
BIM CoordinationFinding a conflict between structural steel and ductwork in a coordination model costs a markup. Finding it in the field costs a change order.
BIM CoordinationBIM coordination is the structured process of combining trade models, finding conflicts, and resolving them before construction.
BIM CoordinationNot every clash in a coordination model is the same kind of problem — knowing the difference changes how it gets prioritized.
