Successful execution of a construction project and streamlining its processes largely depends on the availability and accuracy of construction details, project order lists, material requirements etc. It also helps save a lot of time and money and enables quick adaption to the changing project requirements.

The onus of furnishing all these reports lies on your steel detailing service provider. This makes it extremely important for AEC firms to choose a service provider, with the right kind of detailing and reporting capabilities. 

Steel Detailing and Reporting

Organized Reporting:
One of the primary concerns in an AEC project is to establish effective communication across channels, hence avoid potential errors. This can be achieved via robust reporting; it can be used to address all the requests for information and also to quell the questions and objections raised by the client.


Robust reporting and steel detailing involves detailed listing for specific requirements for example: identification of material requirements and detailed listingfor communicating complete material billing. Further, it involves making requisite changes within reports,if designs are iterated or there are any changes in the project.These billing of material details can be broken down into individual components for detailed review and better management.

Quick data audit at macro and micro levels, and the able communication backed by effective reporting at every level, is pivotal in mitigating any confusions, misunderstandings and issues arising during construction.
 

Customized Reporting:
In a steel construction project, there can be requirements for a host of different reports – all of them or a select few. It is very important to define the requirements and avail customized reporting based on your needs.

Identify Your Requirements Based On:

  • The size and scope of your steel detailing project
  • Number of teams involved and coordination amongst the involved professionals
  • The number of stakeholders involved
  • Buying and shipping cycles for the required materials
  • Project schedules from development to completion
Engaging a steel detailing firm, which can deliver customized reporting according to your needs, is a wise decision. The firm should have the ability to provide higher flexibility and accurate reporting across the life cycle of your project.

BIM Powered Reporting:
Detailed information for material take offs, shipping lists,  timeline reports, assembly reports, process information, contractor lists etc can be fed into a BIM (Building information modeling) model. BIM enables effective visualization of reports in great detail. Project management and execution becomes extremely easy with the introduction of BIM.


Hence, organized handling, customized reporting and use of BIM technology, is what a firm should look for when outsourcing to a steel detailing service provider. Availing accurate and flexible reporting for all requirements can be pivotal in meeting the set deadlines and in ensuring successful execution of a project.
