At Keystone Steel Services LLC, we rely on the power of 3D modeling and Building Information Modeling (BIM) to streamline the steel fabrication process and ensure precision throughout construction. We build our structural steel models with exceptional accuracy and detail, incorporating essential components, including columns and beams, column gridlines, miscellaneous steel elements such as stairs and equipment supports, embeds, anchor bolts, and more.
The detailed models we create as part of the steel fabrication process play a key role in project coordination. By integrating our models with those from other trades, we can identify issues early on, which minimizes the risk of costly change orders later. We proactively generate Requests for Information (RFIs) to resolve any design conflicts in collaboration with the engineer or architect heading the project.
Our commitment to collaboration doesn’t stop at modeling. Upon request, we can participate in weekly BIM coordination meetings to review potential issues and RFI responses. We can then update our models based on the feedback we receive and then share them with the BIM coordinator, ensuring alignment with other trades and design teams that are involved.
Using 3D modeling and BIM allows us to improve accuracy, reduce waste, and deliver high-quality steel fabrication solutions to our clients. Whether for an industrial facility, a commercial structure, or school, our integrated approach allows for a smarter overall building process.
