Design & Detailing
From Concept to Shop Drawings
Precision Planning for Flawless Execution
Great metalwork starts before the torch is ever lit. Errors in steel fabrication are costly, which is why Wicked Iron Works provides comprehensive in-house design and detailing services.
We bridge the gap between architectural vision and fabrication reality. By creating detailed shop drawings and 3D concept models, we solve installation problems on paper, saving you time and money in the field.
Design Services:
- Shop Drawings: Detailed cut lists and assembly guides for fabrication.
- CAD Design: 2D and 3D modeling for complex assemblies.
- Field Verification: We measure twice so we only cut once.
- Inkscape Art Design: Custom vector files for CNC plasma cutting.
- Architect Collaboration: We speak the language of engineering and review prints for constructability.
From Concept to Shop-Ready Drawings
What We Provide
Our detailing services bridge the gap between engineering drawings and fabrication. We create the precise shop drawings your project needs, including material lists, cut lengths, hole patterns, and weld symbols.
Our Design Process
- Drawing Review: Analyze requirements
- Field Verification: Measure existing conditions
- 3D Modeling: Catch conflicts early
- Shop Drawings: Guide every cut and weld
Software & Standards
We use industry-standard CAD software and follow AISC detailing standards. Our drawings are clear, accurate, and ready for permit submission or fabrication.
Why Detailing Matters
Structural steel often interfaces with concrete, wood framing, and glazing. A small discrepancy in dimensions can halt a project. Our detailing process ensures that beam pockets align, bolt holes match, and your project moves forward smoothly.
