CALDIM ENGINEERING SERVICES · STRUCTURAL STEEL

Assembling steel platform.
STRUCTURAL STEEL DETAILING · CONNECTION DESIGN
Shop drawings, PE-stamped connections, and fast estimates for fabricators and EPCs who can't afford a bad RFI rate. AISC and CISC compliant, from RFQ to erection.

CAPABILITIES
From concept to completion, our integrated capabilities deliver precision, efficiency and value across the entire steel construction lifecycle.
Tonnage takeoffs and connection-count estimates from bid-set or IFC drawings, turned around fast enough to make your bid deadline.
Shop and erection drawings built for the field, not just for approval. Advance bills that let your shop cut before the model is even finished.
Stairs, rails, ladders, and platforms are where most RFIs live. We detail them to walk-through accuracy on the first issue.
Delegated connection design, calculated and stamped by licensed PEs in all 50 states — moment, shear, bracing, and base plate.
SJI-compliant joist layouts and joist girder detailing, coordinated with metal deck placement before steel ever leaves the shop.
Custom scripts, templates, and Tekla PowerFab pipelines that take the repetitive work out of your detailing and push clean data straight into the shop.
SIGNATURE CAPABILITY
Most detailers hand you a connection and let your EOR figure out if it works. We calculate it ourselves — moment, shear, bracing, and base plate — per AISC 360-22, and put a stamped seal on the package before it leaves our shop.

WHY CALDIM
RFI rate < 0.8%
Every sheet passes an independent check against contract documents before issue — not a self-check by the modeler.
Avg. 8-day turnaround
Fixed-fee quotes with committed dates. Advance bills issued early so your shop isn't waiting on the full package.
50-state PE stamping
Licensed structural engineers stamp connection calcs in every US state, so multi-state projects run through one team.
1 dedicated PM per project
A dedicated project manager with 15+ years in Tekla and SDS/2 is assigned to every job — one point of contact from RFQ to RFI close-out, not a shared inbox.
MEET OUR LEADERSHIP
Every package leaves here under a named engineer, not a queue. These are the people accountable for the drawings, the calculations, and the dates we commit to.
