Light Gauge Steel (LGS) Drafting:

We specialize in precision light gauge steel drafting using Vertex, Frame CAD & Others, delivering efficient, cost-effective solutions for your construction projects. Our expert team uses cutting-edge technology to create accurate, detailed drawings that ensure seamless integration of light gauge steel framing into any architectural or structural design. Whether for residential, commercial, or industrial projects, our drafting services focus on maximizing durability, flexibility, and performance. With a commitment to high standards and customer satisfaction, we help bring your designs to life with unmatched accuracy and efficiency.

2. Fabrication Estimation

Our Fabrication Estimation service is designed to provide cost-effective, accurate, and reliable estimates delivered on time. This service is crucial for ensuring the financial viability and success of any construction or fabrication project. Our process involves a detailed cost breakdown, encompassing materials, labour, paint, galvanizing, and subcontractor expenses, ensuring transparency and precision.

Detailed Cost Breakdown:

We offer a comprehensive analysis of all project costs, including materials, labour, and additional treatments like paint and galvanizing. This thorough approach helps eliminate guesswork, providing a clear picture of the project's financial requirements.

Inclusions and Exclusions:

Our estimates include a detailed list of what is covered and what is not, ensuring there are no surprises during the project's execution. This clarity helps clients understand the full scope of the estimate and plan accordingly.

Precision and Reliability:

Leveraging advanced software like Tekla Structures, our experienced team delivers highly accurate 3D stick models and Advanced Bill of Material (ABM) reports. These tools enable precise material take-offs and thorough project estimates, facilitating better decision-making and project planning.

Deliverables:

Our estimation service includes a 3D stick model prepared in Tekla Structures, material take-offs and detailed estimation spreadsheet. These deliverables provide clients with a comprehensive understanding of the project requirements, improving their chances of winning contracts and staying competitive in the market.

3. Fabrication Scheduling

Our Fabrication Scheduling Services are designed to optimize the efficiency and timeliness of your steel construction projects. Utilizing advanced software like MS Project and P6, we provide a detailed breakdown of fabrication tasks and labour allocation. Our scheduling includes precise time frames and the flexibility to adjust labour allocations as needed to meet project demands. We ensure that you are always informed with weekly or fortnightly updates, including detailed reports on project completion percentages. This proactive approach allows for real-time adjustments, ensuring your project stays on track and within budget. Our comprehensive scheduling services are essential for minimizing delays and maximizing productivity, providing a clear roadmap from fabrication to final installation.

4. Steel Design Solutions
