We deliver highly detailed floor and roof framing layouts that map out the placement and alignment of every beam, joist, truss, and edge angle across each level of your structure. These layouts are generated with precision, including gridline references, elevation markers, section callouts, steel profiles, and member tags. Each drawing visually represents the load path, showing how forces are transferred through the framing system, which allows site teams to verify continuity and alignment during erection. By incorporating both design intent and erection sequencing, these layouts enable engineers and construction crews to move forward with complete confidence that the framing system is both structurally sound and constructible.

Our column and beam arrangement drawings provide clear elevation and plan views that illustrate the precise positioning of vertical and horizontal members at every level of the building. Columns are documented with base plate conditions, anchor bolt layouts, splice positions, and structural levels, while beams are annotated with camber data, slopes, section marks, and connection callouts. These deliverables eliminate guesswork for fabricators and installers by clearly defining how columns, beams, and connections should align in the field. With this level of detail, supervisors and site crews can ensure accurate placement, correct orientation, and seamless continuity from one floor to the next.

One of the most critical aspects of steel erection is the accurate placement of embedded plates and anchor bolts, as errors here can ripple through the entire build. We generate detailed embed and anchor bolt plans that precisely coordinate with your concrete foundations. Each drawing includes X-Y coordinates, edge offsets, bolt patterns, embed elevations, edge distances, and tolerance zones. By integrating these details directly from the Tekla model, we ensure perfect alignment between the steel frame and the concrete work. This accuracy is vital for achieving seamless fit-up in the field, minimizing rework, and guaranteeing long-term structural stability.

To safeguard structural stability against lateral forces, our GA drawing packages include bracing and shear wall layouts. These drawings clearly show the type of bracing (whether rod, angle, or channel), the connection nodes, anchorage points, and the sequencing required for installation. For engineers, they provide critical information for structural analysis and approval. For contractors, they support better planning and coordination with MEP systems by pre-identifying conflict zones. By visualizing how bracing integrates with the rest of the steel structure, we ensure that lateral load systems are not just structurally efficient but also constructible on site without delays.

Every GA drawing we produce is anchored to a consistent structural grid system with clearly referenced levels and datums. Gridlines are clearly annotated, story heights are consistently noted, and level callouts are included to ensure accurate stacking alignment. These references create a unified coordination framework across trades, helping architects, engineers, and contractors identify alignment errors early. With Tekla’s model-driven intelligence, our grid and level notations remain consistent across all GA drawings, ensuring that every plan, elevation, and section is perfectly aligned to the same reference system.

For complex structures, 2D plans often aren’t enough to fully capture the design intent. That’s why we provide detailed framing elevations and structural sections that cut through critical areas of the building. These drawings illustrate vertical alignments, connection details, splice conditions, and load path transitions between structural members. They provide engineers and contractors with deeper insight into how steel elements relate to each other in three dimensions, making them an essential tool for validating design intent and coordinating with architects, consultants, and MEP engineers. By showing the structure’s hierarchy and relationships in detail, these drawings reduce miscommunication and accelerate approvals.

Large-scale projects demand clear phasing and logical sequencing. To support this, we organize GA drawings into coordinated view sets by zone, grid, or construction phase. This organizational method makes it easier for supervisors, foremen, and erection crews to focus on specific sections of the project without being overwhelmed by unnecessary detail. By tying GA drawings to the actual construction sequence, we help teams track progress, plan material delivery, and execute safe and efficient erection activities. This phased approach also simplifies communication during site meetings and progress reviews.

Our GA drawings are never static snapshots—they remain live, BIM-synced deliverables that update in real time with changes to the Tekla 3D model. Every adjustment to geometry, member size, or connection is reflected automatically across drawing sets, which prevents errors, reduces redundancy, and eliminates version mismatches. We provide deliverables in multiple formats—including PDF for easy distribution, DWG for CAD integration, and IFC for BIM coordination—ensuring accessibility across design teams, consultants, and site crews.

By providing field-ready outputs linked directly to the latest Tekla model, we make sure that everyone is working with the same set of up-to-date information. This consistency not only improves accuracy but also reduces RFIs, rework, and site-level confusion—leading to smoother project delivery.

Every construction project has its own documentation culture, and we understand the need for flexibility. That’s why our GA drawings can be fully customized to match your unique drawing styles, annotation methods, layering conventions, and sequencing preferences. Whether you need us to adopt your existing templates or develop new ones optimized for clarity, we adapt our workflows to integrate seamlessly with yours.

With our Tekla GA Drawing Services, you receive deliverables that are accurate, coordinated, and tailored—helping your team make smarter decisions, reduce risk, and execute projects with precision.
