Steel detailing and collaboration: a global perspective
While architecture, engineering and construction continue to become a more global industry, significant regional differences in practice continue. These cultural and procedural differences impact both the social character and technical work processes between architects, engineers and builders. This paper explores the regional differences in structural steel design and fabrication processes. Particular attention is paid to the interface between design and construction teams during the creation of fabrication (shop) drawings. This research originated from a desire to understand global variations, explore the strengths and weaknesses of different processes, and discover the history and rational behind these differences. The established regional differences in the practice of steel detailing provide a unique opportunity to systematically compare differing established work processes. The objective of this research is to expand understanding of these different work processes in hopes of facilitating a transition to a more efficient industry. Clarifying and comparing different processes will demonstrate the benefits and challenges of different methods. After an introduction to industry background and the research method used summaries of conventional practice and an analysis of the implications for evolving practice and future research. This research was completed primarily through interviews with structural engineers, architects, steel fabricators/detailers, and other industry experts. Twenty-nine professionals were interviewed in person or by phone for 30-60 minutes each. A literature review was conducted to assess the history and mission of steel industry, and historical structural steel production data helped to provide a historical context to the current work processes. The author proposes future research to develop comprehensive case studies of multiple projects in regions using different work processes.
