In-house Detailing and BIM Coordination

Keeping steel projects running smoothly

Having a team of mechanical engineers proficient in BIM coordination software allows Summit Steel Works to keep project detailing in-house. That means our customers receive the benefits of advanced technology without the inefficiency that’s often tied to out-sourcing. Operating in-house prepares Summit to work within demanding project timelines.

Advanced Steel Modeling Software

Advanced Steel Modeling Software

Tekla Structures is a powerful modeling platform that allows us to significantly reduce the time needed to produce models and shop drawings. Highlights of the Tekla advantage include:

  • Multi-User Mode–allows for two people to work on the same model at the same time.
  • Component Catalog–hundreds of custom and pre-loaded steel connections that can be inserted into a model with a few clicks.

Surveying in the Field

Summit can accurately and efficiently create as-built illustrations of existing conditions for use when modeling. This is accomplished utilizing state-of-the-art surveying technology. Our proficient surveying expertise facilitates the efficient translation of computer-based layouts into on-site representations

Summit currently supports some of the most complex architectural projects in the Bay Area, the world's most exciting real-estate market.
