1 Define the scope and standards

Before you start working on the steel detailing and shop drawings, you need to have a clear understanding of the scope and standards of the project. This includes the design requirements, the codes and regulations, the specifications and tolerances, the material grades and finishes, and the delivery and installation methods. You should also communicate with the client, the architect, the engineer, and the contractor to ensure that everyone is on the same page and that there are no discrepancies or conflicts.

2 Use the right software and tools

Steel detailing and shop drawings require a high level of precision and detail. Therefore, you should use the right software and tools that can help you create accurate, consistent, and comprehensive drawings. There are various software and tools available for steel detailing and shop drawings, such as CAD, BIM, Tekla, SDS/2, Advance Steel, and others. You should choose the ones that suit your needs and preferences, and that are compatible with the formats and standards of the project. You should also keep your software and tools updated and calibrated to avoid errors and glitches.

3 Follow the best practices for drawing layout and presentation

When creating steel detailing and shop drawings, the layout and presentation can have a major impact on how they are interpreted and used by the fabricator, the erector, and the inspector. To ensure accuracy and completeness, it is important to follow best practices for drawing layout and presentation. This includes using clear and consistent titles, labels, symbols, dimensions, notes, and abbreviations. Additionally, you should use appropriate scales, views, sections, details, and annotations to show relevant information and features. Color coding, shading, hatching, and highlighting can be used to differentiate elements and emphasize important aspects. Furthermore, it is beneficial to use standard templates, formats, and conventions to ensure uniformity and readability. Quality checks, reviews, and revisions should also be employed for verification purposes.

4 Coordinate and collaborate with other parties

Steel detailing and shop drawings are not isolated documents. They are part of a larger project that involves other parties, such as the client, the architect, the engineer, the contractor, the fabricator, the erector, and the inspector. Therefore, you should coordinate and collaborate with them throughout the project to ensure that your steel detailing and shop drawings are aligned with their expectations, needs, and feedback. You should also share and exchange your steel detailing and shop drawings with them in a timely and efficient manner, using the appropriate platforms, formats, and protocols.

5 Keep up with the changes and updates

Steel fabrication and erection projects are dynamic and complex. They often involve changes and updates that can affect the steel detailing and shop drawings. These changes and updates can be due to design modifications, site conditions, material availability, fabrication errors, erection issues, or client requests. You should keep up with these changes and updates and reflect them in your steel detailing and shop drawings as soon as possible. You should also document and track these changes and updates and communicate them to the other parties involved.

6 Follow the safety and quality standards

Steel detailing and shop drawings are not only meant to provide information and specifications. They are also meant to ensure safety and quality in the steel fabrication and erection process. Therefore, you should follow the safety and quality standards that apply to your project, such as the OSHA, AISC, AWS, ASTM, and others. You should also consider the potential hazards, risks, and challenges that may arise in the steel fabrication and erection process and address them in your steel detailing and shop drawings. You should also verify and validate your steel detailing and shop drawings with the actual site conditions and performance.

Use expert specialists. Employ skilled steel detailers and drafters who understand steel construction and are familiar with industry standards and best practices. Verify their credentials, certificates, and previous project experience to assure quality and accuracy. Maintain open communication and cooperation with the design team, which includes architects, engineers, and stakeholders. Clarify any design differences or disputes early on and collaborate to address them to avoid problems during manufacturing and construction.
