Fabricator Trained Detailers
These days everybody with a modeling program and a computer thinks they are a
detailer. Our detailers have worked in fabrication shops, this experience makes
sure that you get the dimensions that your fitters need to get the job done.
It also means that our detailers are more concerned with getting the building drawn
right, instead of simply drawn quickly. We will ensure that the final product is com-
plete even when the design drawings are not.
Any detailer can tell you that checking your own work leads to errors. Every job we
draw includes complete checking by an independent checker. This results in fewer
errors and more efficient fabrication.
Domestic Detailers
Complete Independent Checking
Detail drawings are all about communicating design needs to the fabrication team.
Offshore detailers simply can’t communicate effectively leading to confusion and
inevitable errors. Get your questions answered by somebody you understand and
who understands you.
With United Structural you don’t have to worry about, lost drawings, revision con-
trol or missing RFI responses. Using Fab-suite and a variety of other tools, your job is
always backed up, your red-lines are up to date and when RFI’s or approvals are late
returning we will make sure to remind you so that you can remind your customer
and control project schedule. Documenting project delays seems to be a full time
job these days and we’re here every step of the way.
3. CNC & BIM
Whether you need KISS files or
complete CNC we can deliver.
ONLINE COLLABORATION
We have an array of online collabo-
ration tools to make communication
as easy as possible. From the Design
Review to fabrication, everybody is
on the same page.
Digital As-Builts
Our detailers maintain a complete set of design drawings constantly updated with
all RFIs markups & pertinent addenda. Don’t worry about your red-line sets or a
missing addendum. Everything is incorporated every time and your in-house team
will be kept up to date with out ever printing or reviewing an addendum.
Change Order Handling
We know that sometimes your estimators can’t keep up with the amount of
change orders that result from today’s lack luster design drawings. At your re-
quest we can provide you a complete summary of each design change, even the
ones the design team might not admit to. We will provide all the backup you need
to make your case. With FabSuite co-ordination is simple and efficient.

RFI Maintenance
When the design drawings fall short and RFIs become necessary, it can become a
hassle to receive incoherent RFIs from detailers that require review and transposi-
tion before being sent on to the design team. We will completely review the design
drawings before issuing RFIs on your letterhead. We will maintain the RFI log and
maintain the as-built drawings at all times in the detailing process.
Design Calculations
When you need your connections signed and sealed by a professional engineer, we
have consultants on board that can stamp our calculations in virtually any state. Our
engineers are experienced in connection design and particularly familiar with our
designs. This provides a streamlined process to benefit your in-house project man-
agement team.
4. AISC Quality Certification Consulting
Whether you’ve got a robust Quality
Control Program already in place or
you need to start from the ground up,
we can get you there.
Experienced Assistance
While AISC certification can be a sim-
ple matter, even the most experienced
and quality minded fabricators can be
overwhelmed with the requirements
and paperwork necessary to gain certi-
fication. Our experienced staff can
help you reach your goals. It’s time to join the club
Fabricators are becoming certified at a startling pace. Nearly 15% more fabricators
were certified in 2010 than in 2009. Specifications, in almost all markets, increasing-
ly require certification, especially on large public works projects. Certification is fast
becoming necessary to continue operating.
AISC Quality Certification Consulting
More than just a stamp of approval
Quality certification is much more than simply a stamp of approval for your fabrica-
tion abilities. Certified fabricators find ways each year to improve processes in not
only fabrication, but in every aspect of their business, From equipment mainte-
nance to proper documentation, we will get you started. Helping you to refine the
practices you already have in place, adding any documentation where it may be
required and often removing redundancies in your processes. This is one of the
ways our service pays for itself. We understand the processes actually necessary to
receive and maintain certification. Many consultants will provide you with a canned
QC manual forcing you to change your practices to suit their cookie cutter template.
We will build your QC program from the ground up; tailoring it to your existing prac-
tices and minimizing any additional workload for your staff.
