[About the Service]
Where Structural Steel Comes Together, Safely
Connection design is the engineering process of designing steel connections that safely transfer loads and securely connect steel components within a structure, whether for structural or miscellaneous steel.
We coordinate connection design in collaboration with licensed Professional Engineers. Where project requirements permit, we develop steel connection designs using SDS2 based on the design loads provided by the structural engineer. Connection calculations and drawings are then reviewed and stamped by our licensed Professional Engineering partners.

Why Industry Leaders Choose Us
We develop coordinated connection designs that prioritize safety, constructability, and fabrication efficiency.
Engineer-Coordinated Solutions
We work in collaboration with licensed Professional Engineers to develop safe, efficient, and code-compliant steel connection designs.
Design Load Accuracy
Every connection is designed based on the structural engineer’s specified design loads, ensuring reliable load transfer and structural performance.
Accurate Connection Modeling
Using leading steel detailing software, we develop accurate connection models and detailed drawings that integrate seamlessly with the structural steel model.
Fabrication Ready Deliverables
We provide coordinated connection drawings and supporting calculations that help streamline fabrication and reduce shop and field issues.
PE Reviewed & Stamped
Where required by the project, connection calculations and drawings are reviewed and stamped by our licensed Professional Engineering partners.
Integrated Project Workflow
Our connection design services integrate seamlessly with estimating, detailing, BIM coordination, and fabrication support, improving coordination and reducing project rework.
[Methodology]
Our Connection Design Workflow
Load Data Review
We receive design loads and connection requirements from the project’s structural engineer.
Connection Engineering
Connection designs are developed in collaboration with licensed Professional Engineers. Where required by the project, connection models are created in SDS2 based on the approved design criteria.
PE Review & Stamping
Our licensed Professional Engineering partners review, stamp, and issue final connection calculations and drawings.
[TANGIBLE VALUE]
Built for the Bottom Line
A connection is only as good as the load path behind it. We pair detailing expertise with licensed engineering oversight on every design.
