Glulam Building: Start to Finish – Part Six C

 Welcome to our “Glulam Building: Start to Finish” series. Our goal is to provide an overview – from idea to completion – of a glulam building, from the perspective of a glulam manufacturer and designer.

Part 6C: Steel Schedules

The final pieces of our production shop drawing sets are Hardware and Steel Schedules. These are summaries of the information shown on our shop drawing Connection Sheets, and are generated from the same source. The Hardware Schedule includes grand totals of shipping hardware and steel assemblies, ready to place hardware orders, and use as a checklist for shipping. The Steel Schedule includes a list of the steel pieces we need to order for shop fabrication.

This information is also used to generate Steel Tags, for identifying finished steel parts – which can even stay on during hot dip galvanizing!

If the project includes complex steel shapes, we will also generate a list and export CAD details to have those laser, plasma, or waterjet cut.
