Steel Detailing described by the Australian Construction Modellers Association professional declaration;

A Structural Steel Detailer is a person who provides detailed shop drawings to enable the fabrication, transportation & erection of structural steelwork on building and construction projects.
In order to produce these detailed drawings, the Structural Steel Detailer interprets the information provided in the design documents provided by the design professionals for a proposed project as follows:

• The dimensional elements of the structure are generally ascertained from the Architect’s documents by the Structural Steel Detailer. The Architect usually has overall responsibility for documenting the design & dimensional intent of the structure.

• The structural steelwork elements of that structure are determined from the Engineer’s documentation. The Engineer is often a sub consultant of the Architect and usually is responsible for documenting the structural framing design including structural steel members sizing and appropriately designed connections.

It is not the role of the Structural Steel Detailer to assume any part of the design role of the Engineer or Architect, either in setting out or rectifying the structural or dimensional requirements of the proposed structure.
