Precise Structural Steel Detailing Services Across the USA
Shop drawings, erection drawings, connection details, anchor bolt plans and 3D models prepared to AISC standards for fabricators, erectors and contractors.
From Design Concept to Fabrication-Ready Detail
Steel detailing turns the engineer's structural design into the shop drawings and erection drawings a fabricator uses to cut, drill, weld and install every piece of steel. Even small detailing errors can cause fabrication rework, field fixes and schedule delays.
Remarkable Estimating Services, LLC, based in Hawthorne, California, prepares steel shop drawings, erection drawings, connection details, anchor bolt plans, bills of material and 3D models for fabricators, erectors and general contractors across the United States. We work in Tekla Structures, SDS/2, AutoCAD and Advance Steel, and prepare drawings to the AISC Code of Standard Practice. Drawings are submitted for review and approval by the project's engineer of record or architect.

How Our Steel Detailing Process Works
- Step 1: Send the documents. Structural and architectural drawings, specifications and your shop standards.
- Step 2: Get a quote and timeline. We confirm scope, deliverables, price and schedule.
- Step 3: Modeling and detailing. We model the steel and raise RFIs where the design documents are unclear.
- Step 4: Submit for approval. Drawings go to the engineer of record or architect for review.
- Step 5: Revise and issue for fabrication. We incorporate review comments and issue the final drawings and BOM.
