Services
From the first takeoff to the last erection drawing, EDF Works covers the drawing and coordination side of structural and miscellaneous steel for Bay Area projects.
One point of contact for the steel package. We keep drawings, revisions and submittals moving between the design team, the fabricator and the erector.
Steel takeoffs and estimates built from the architectural and structural drawings, so a bid reflects what is actually drawn.
A 3D model of the steel that checks fit, clearances and connections before anything is cut or welded.
Coordinating the steel model with the architectural, structural and MEP models so clashes are found on screen, not on site.
Clear shop drawings for review by the architect and engineer: member sizes, connections, dimensions and finishes.
Piece and assembly drawings the shop builds from, with cut lengths, holes, plates, bolts and welds.
Placement plans and elevations that show the field crew where every piece goes and how it connects.
Drawing support for structural and architectural packages where steel is part of the design.
What we detail
The scopes we see most often across residential, commercial and industrial work.
How a package moves
We read the architectural and structural drawings, list questions and prepare the takeoff.
The steel is built in 3D, connection by connection.
The model is checked against other trades and the design intent.
Drawings go out for review, then to the shop.
Placement drawings tell the field crew where every piece goes.
We answer questions from the shop and the field as the steel goes up.
