a) The consulting engineer’s drawing and specification are passed on by the company management to the drawing office where the drawing office manager assesses the extent, complexity and time content of the job) The section leader confers with a senior detailer\/draughtsman who constitutes a team of Structural draughtsmen on the basis of expertise in specific are gained form experience in the previous contracts’) The first function to prepare a list of steel material from the layout drawing provided by consulting engineers, enabling the contractor to reserve the items from stock or to place order with steel merchant or steel mills.<\/p>\n

e) An experienced senior draughtsman or detailer must carefully supervise drawings<\/a> and carefully scrutinize then as a checker.

Draughtsman should be critical of their own work, subconsciously acting as their own checker, to ensure that to the best of their ability, their drawings are error free.f) The detail<\/a> drawings are sent to the fabrication shop where work is put in hand, drawing the material form stock, cutting it to exact length, drilling or punching the necessary hole and assembling the various parts by means of bolting or welding to make up the components or subassemblies ready for transport to site.<\/p>\n

g) The drawing office whether using a manual system or computer aided facilities, must now processed with the preparation of erection drawings,<\/a> showing steel framework in skeleton form (elevations, plans and cross-sections). These drawing should be checked by the senior detailer and endorsed by a qualified structural engineer; The steel erector will refer to these drawing for the assembly of the structural or site. The position of each fabrication shop<\/a>, such erection marks are hand-marked, painted or tagged onto the steel components.<\/p>\n
