Discover how GridsGlobal delivers precision through steel detailing Services , connection design Services , and estimation Services . Trusted by fabricators and erectors across the USA and Canada.
In construction, the distance between an architect's vision and a completed structure is measured in precision. Every beam must find its intended location. Every connection must transfer loads exactly as calculated. Every component must align with its neighbors. When documentation delivers this accuracy, projects proceed smoothly and safely. When it falls short, delays multiply and costs escalate.
GridsGlobal provides the engineering foundation that makes construction successful. For fabricators and erectors across the USA, Canada, and international markets, we deliver precise, reliable documentation that transforms design concepts into buildable reality.
Steel Detailing: The Language of Construction
Steel detailing serves as the essential communication channel between those who design structures and those who build them. It translates engineering intent into the specific instructions that guide fabrication and erection.
This is not merely drawing lines on paper. Effective detailing anticipates the questions that arise during production, resolves conflicts before they reach the shop, and provides the clarity that keeps projects moving forward.
GridsGlobal specializes in comprehensive steel detailing Services that support every phase of the construction lifecycle. Our drawings deliver the precision that fabricators need to produce components efficiently and the clarity that erectors need to assemble them correctly. By focusing on accuracy from the outset, we minimize the errors and adjustments that plague projects with less rigorous documentation.
Three Pillars of Project Support
While detailing forms our core competency, successful projects require support at multiple stages. GridsGlobal has developed a comprehensive suite of engineering solutions to address these needs.
Estimation: Building on Accurate Numbers
Every successful project begins with reliable cost information. Contractors who estimate material quantities roughly or overlook connection complexity often discover that winning bids become unprofitable ventures.
Our estimation Services provide the detailed take-offs and cost analysis that support confident bidding. We capture every component—every beam, every column, every connection plate, every bolt—ensuring that budgets reflect actual project requirements. This accuracy enables fabricators to bid competitively while maintaining healthy margins and to manage resources effectively once projects are underway.
Connection Design: Engineering for Performance
The points where structural members meet carry concentrated forces that determine overall system behavior. A properly sized beam accomplishes nothing if its connections cannot transfer loads effectively.
Our connection design Services engineer every joint for specific project requirements. We analyze loads, evaluate environmental conditions, and design connections that balance strength with practicality. Working within AISC standards, seismic provisions, and applicable international codes, we ensure every connection performs as needed throughout the structure's service life.
Steel Detailing: Documentation That Drives Production
With estimates established and connections engineered, attention turns to the drawings that guide actual construction. Our steel detailing services produce the shop drawings and erection plans that fabrication teams and field crews rely upon.
Every dimension appears clearly. Every material specification is stated explicitly. Every weld requirement is noted completely. Nothing requires interpretation. Nothing depends on assumption.
Technology as a Foundation for Accuracy
Modern construction demands modern tools. GridsGlobal employs advanced software platforms to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and coordination across every project.
Our Technology Stack
| Platform | Primary Application |
|---|---|
| Tekla Structures | Advanced 3D modeling and detailed fabrication drawings |
| SDS2 | Comprehensive steel detailing and production control |
| Autodesk Advance Steel | BIM-integrated design and documentation |
| ProSteel | Professional 3D modeling for structural steel |
| AutoCAD | Precision drafting and technical documentation |
This technology arsenal enables our team to deliver consistent quality while meeting demanding project timelines. More importantly, it allows us to identify and resolve potential issues before they reach the shop floor or job site.
Virtual Construction
Before any steel is cut, our models enable virtual construction that reveals potential problems while correction remains simple. Clash detection identifies interferences between structural steel and other building systems. Coordination reviews ensure that documentation aligns across disciplines. The result is fewer surprises during fabrication and erection.
Experience That Informs Every Project
GridsGlobal's leadership team brings firsthand experience with the pressures fabricators face daily. We understand the constraints of shop equipment, the challenges of complex connections, and the importance of clear communication. This practical perspective informs every drawing we produce.
Having supported hundreds of projects across diverse sectors and regions, we bring accumulated wisdom to each new engagement. We recognize common pitfalls and know how to avoid them. We anticipate questions and answer them before they are asked. We deliver documentation that reflects not just technical competence but practical understanding.
The Value of Precision
Accurate documentation delivers value throughout the construction process.
For Fabricators
Complete drawings enable efficient shop production with fewer questions and less rework. Every component is clearly defined, every connection fully detailed, every material requirement explicitly stated. Shops can proceed confidently, knowing that what they build will match project requirements.
For Erectors
Coordinated documentation enables smooth installation with minimal adjustment. Components fit as intended, attachments align properly, and assembly proceeds without interruption. Crews focus on erection rather than problem-solving.
For Project Owners
Precise engineering documentation means facilities that perform as intended from day one. Structures stand reliably, connections transfer loads properly, and the building serves its purpose without modification.
A Partner You Can Count On
GridsGlobal approaches every project as a collaboration rather than a transaction. We bring technical expertise and practical experience. Our clients bring knowledge of their specific capabilities and constraints. Together, we develop documentation that serves everyone's needs.
When questions arise during fabrication or erection, we answer them promptly. When challenges emerge, we help solve them. When projects evolve, we adapt with them. This commitment to partnership earns the trust that brings clients back project after project.
Serving Clients Worldwide
From the USA and Canada to international markets, GridsGlobal delivers the precision that successful construction requires. We handle projects of all sizes and complexities with consistent attention to detail and unwavering commitment to quality.
Whether your next project involves a commercial structure, industrial facility, or specialized application, we provide the engineering support you need to succeed.
