Why Tectonic

Your overflow team, without the overhead.

When your shop is full, deadlines don’t wait. We take on the extra load — a single trial piece or a full project — and deliver checked drawings your team can fabricate from directly.

  • ✓Checked before delivery. Every set is reviewed for dimensions, marks and material lists before it leaves us.
  • ✓Works in your tools. Advance Steel, Tekla, AutoCAD, Bluebeam and PlanSwift — in your templates and standards.
  • ✓Direct communication. You talk to the people doing the work on WhatsApp or email — no layers in between.
  • ✓Scales with you. One detailer or a full team, for a week or for every peak season.

FAQ

Questions, answered up front.

The things clients usually ask before starting — and the straight answers.

What do you need from me to start?

General arrangement drawings, project specifications, the applicable design standard, and your preferred deliverable list. Scope is discussed before work begins, so everything is clear up front.

What files will I receive?

Fabrication-ready shop drawings in DWG and PDF, Tekla or Advance Steel model files, and IFC where needed — plus material takeoffs, bolt lists and reports, as per scope.

Which standards do you follow?

AISC-style detailing for US work, with BS/Eurocode-style detailing where the project requires it.

How long does a project take?

Turnaround depends on scope and is confirmed with the quote before work starts. Small pieces are quick; full packages are scheduled at kickoff.

Do you handle revisions?

Yes — approval comments and revisions are handled as agreed for each project.

Will my drawings stay confidential?

Yes. Client names and project details are never shared; only anonymized samples are shown.

What software do you work in?

Advance Steel, AutoCAD, Bluebeam Revu, Tekla Structures, and PlanSwift for estimation.

Start with a trial piece

Send us one piece. Judge us on the drawing.

Trial piece from $30. New clients can start with a single trial piece or a small takeoff — see the quality and checking before committing to a full project. The final trial price is confirmed after scope review and before work starts, and delivery time is confirmed with the trial scope.
