Warehouse Steel Detailing > Industrial > Australia

Project Snapshot

Project type: Industrial warehouse

Location: Australia

Project scale: Medium

Client type: Main Contractor

Project status: Completed

Software: Tekla Structures, AutoCAD

Scope of work: Structural steel detailing for primary and secondary framing

The Challenge

  1. The warehouse featured long-span steel framing and a high-bay structure, requiring careful coordination of member sizes and connections.
  2. The construction programme was schedule-driven, with pressure to release drawings quickly to support early fabrication and erection.
  3. Any detailing errors could directly impact shop productivity and site progress.
  4. The contractor required clear, buildable information to minimize rework during fabrication and erection.

Our Detailing Approach

  1. We developed a fabrication-driven detailing strategy, prioritizing constructability and erection sequencing.
  2. Primary and secondary steel framing was modelled accurately in Tekla to reflect real fabrication and site conditions.
  3. Drawing releases were phased to align with fabrication priorities and erection planning.
  4. Close attention was given to member connections, tolerances, and interfaces to ensure smooth downstream execution.
  5. All deliverables were produced in compliance with AS 4100 and AS/NZS standards.

Deliverables

  1. Detailed shop drawings for fabrication.
  2. Clear GA drawings supporting coordination and site understanding.
  3. Assembly drawings aligned with erection sequencing.
  4. Fabrication files ready for shop use.

Results & Value Delivered

  1. Enabled smooth fabrication and erection with minimal disruption.
  2. Reduced rework through accurate, constructible detailing.
  3. Supported the contractor’s fast-track program through timely drawing releases.
  4. Improved confidence across fabrication and site teams.

Value to the Client

  1. Acted as a reliable steel detailing partner for a contractor-led project.
  2. Delivered drawings focused on buildability, not just compliance.
  3. Demonstrated strong understanding of Australian fabrication and construction practices.
  4. Supported predictable delivery on a schedule-sensitive industrial project.
