Steel detailing is the process of preparing detailed drawings and documents for the fabrication and erection of steel structures. These drawings include dimensions, material specifications, and welding, bolting, and connection details to guide fabricators and contractors.

Steel detailers create shop drawings for the steel structure based on design specifications from engineers or architects. They detail how each steel part should be fabricated, assembled, and connected.

Steel detailing ensures accuracy and efficiency in construction. Well-detailed drawings help minimize errors in fabrication and installation, reduce costs, and improve safety.

Steel detailing is used in a wide range of construction projects, including:
High-rise buildings
Bridges
Industrial structures
Stadiums
Warehouses and factories
