Engineering Teams That Turn Design Intent into Buildable Information
Structural Drafting Group brings together project managers, engineers, steel detailers, BIM modelers, rebar specialists, mechanical and MEP drafters, checkers and coordinators to support fabrication, construction and multidisciplinary project delivery.
A Team Page Built Around Capabilities, Responsibilities and Project Outcomes
Successful drafting and detailing depends on more than software proficiency. It requires people who understand how engineering information is interpreted by designers, fabricators, contractors, procurement teams and field crews.
Our project teams are organised around the required discipline, deliverable, software environment, review process and construction workflow. Team composition can scale from a focused specialist assignment to a multidisciplinary production and coordination package.
Specialist Teams Aligned to Engineering and Construction Workflows
Each project is assigned to the disciplines and roles required by the client’s scope, source information and delivery environment.

- Miscellaneous steel, stairs and railings
Rebar and Concrete Documentation Team
Coordinates approved reinforced-concrete design information with fabrication, placement and quantity workflows.
- Rebar shop and placement drawings
- Bar bending schedules and bar lists
- Foundations, slabs, beams, columns and walls

- Quantity take-offs and estimation
BIM Modeling and Coordination Team
Develops discipline models and coordinated information for design, construction and existing-condition workflows.
- Architectural and structural BIM
- MEP model coordination
- Scan-to-BIM and CAD-to-BIM

- Plant, equipment and 3D piping models
- Isometrics, supports and material data
MEP and Electrical Documentation Team
Coordinates building-services design information across mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.
- HVAC and mechanical layouts
- Electrical power and lighting drawings
- Panel schedules and one-line diagrams
- Plumbing and drainage documentation
- MEP BIM and shop drawings
- Clash, as-built and coordination support
Architectural Drafting and BIM Team
Supports architectural documentation, model development and multidisciplinary coordination.
- Architectural plans and elevations
- Sections, details and schedules
- Revit architectural models
- Construction-document support
- Existing-condition and retrofit models
- Architectural–structural–MEP coordination
Clear Responsibilities from Project Setup to Final Issue
Role names may vary by discipline and client, but the delivery responsibilities remain visible throughout the assignment.
Project Manager or Coordinator
Primary focus: scope, programme, communication, priorities and delivery coordination.
Reviews project requirements, allocates resources, maintains milestone visibility, coordinates client comments and tracks decisions affecting the package.
Technical Lead or Senior Detailer
Primary focus: source interpretation, modeling strategy, constructability and technical queries.
Establishes the discipline approach, reviews complex conditions, guides production staff and coordinates unresolved technical information.
Modeler, Detailer or CAD Drafter
Primary focus: models, drawings, schedules, reports and controlled updates.
Develops project deliverables in the required software and client standard while maintaining source references, revision status and drawing consistency.
Checker or QA/QC Reviewer
Primary focus: compliance with source information, internal standards and intended deliverable use.
Checks geometry, dimensions, marks, schedules, interfaces, notes, file status and responses before client issue.
Document and Revision Coordinator
Primary focus: file naming, registers, transmittals, comments and controlled issue records.
Supports drawing registers, revision logs, incoming information, delivery folders, comment status and archive traceability.
Qualified Engineer or Client Engineer
Primary focus: design criteria, calculations, professional decisions and required approvals.
The contract must identify who is authorised to make structural or engineering design decisions, approve substitutions and release professional design information.
A Connected Workflow Instead of Isolated Production Tasks
Project delivery works best when scope, source information, technical decisions, checking and communication are connected rather than managed as separate activities.
Confirm deliverables, source hierarchy, responsibilities, software, codes, client standards, milestones and communication channels.
Divide the project into models, zones, sequences, drawing packages, review gates and coordinated work assignments.
Develop deliverables while tracking source documents, technical assumptions, RFIs, model status and revisions.
Review discipline requirements, geometry, interfaces, drawings, schedules, quantities, comments and release purpose.
Deliver agreed files, respond to comments and incorporate approved engineering, fabrication or construction changes.
Quality Is Distributed Across Setup, Production, Checking and Release
The checker cannot compensate for an unclear scope or outdated source set. Quality begins with project setup and continues through every information handoff.
Project Setup Review
Confirm current source files, responsibilities, codes, standards, units, software versions, deliverables, templates and milestone requirements.
Production Self-Check
Modelers and drafters review their work against the source information, project checklist and required output before formal checking.
Independent Technical Check
A designated reviewer checks geometry, dimensions, marks, schedules, interfaces, notes, revisions and unresolved queries.
Release and Revision Check
Verify comments, file versions, drawing status, transmittal content, native files, exports and archive records before issue.
Make Questions, Decisions and Revisions Visible to Everyone Who Needs Them
Clear communication is essential because detailing information passes between engineers, fabricators, contractors, BIM coordinators, procurement teams and site personnel.
Technical Skills Aligned to the Client’s Project Platform
The company’s current public profile identifies Tekla Structures, SDS2, AutoCAD and Revit among its core tools. Additional platforms are selected according to the approved discipline workflow.
Software capability does not by itself establish professional authority, model suitability or deliverable acceptance. Confirm software version, licence responsibility, templates, integrations, native-file needs and exchange formats during project setup.
Build Technical Skill through Standards, Reviews and Project Learning
Competency development should connect software operation with engineering interpretation, fabrication, constructability, drawing communication and quality control.
Standards and Client Practices
Team members learn project-specific drawing conventions, model standards, revision methods, fabrication practices and applicable technical references.
Mentoring and Technical Review
Senior team members guide complex conditions, review assumptions, explain comments and help production staff improve technical judgement.
Checklist and Error Learning
Project checklists, recurring comments, lessons learned and corrective actions are used to reduce repeated information and coordination errors.
Cross-Discipline Awareness
Steel, rebar, BIM, mechanical and MEP teams develop awareness of adjacent disciplines and the interfaces affecting their deliverables.
Teams Structured for Fabrication, Construction and Engineering Clients
The company publicly serves fabricators, contractors and engineering companies, with project workflows adapted to different structures, sectors and regional standards.
A Team Culture Centred on Clarity, Accountability and Buildability
The team’s role is not simply to produce more drawings. It is to communicate approved engineering information in a form that downstream project participants can use.
Raise missing, contradictory or unsafe information through a documented technical query.
Prepare information for the fabricator, fitter, erector, installer, reviewer and field team who will use it.
Understand what changed, why it changed, which outputs are affected and what must be reissued.
Use client comments, internal checks and project lessons to strengthen future delivery.
