Reducing Costs, Accelerating Timelines, Delivering Excellence

As project costs and the challenges of doing business continue to rise, the importance of a seamless transition from design through to fabrication and delivery has never been greater. At HC Design, we aim to reduce costs and accelerate timelines during the design, drafting, and detailing phases of your projects. From initial consultation drawings to final shop drawings and beyond.

We work closely with consultants to ensure the project’s design intent, structural requirements, and buildability are aligned and achievable. By engaging us early in the process, clients benefit from:

Value Engineering

Particularly for metalwork designs, minor structural and buildability adjustments can lead to significant savings during material procurement and fabrication.

Reduced RFI's and Lead Times

Utilizing advanced 3D modelling software like TEKLA, we quickly identify and address potential clashes. This reduces RFI turnaround times and keeps projects on track.

Consistency in Tendering

Providing fabricators with a completed, approved, and certified drawing package ensures clarity, reduces discrepancies, and fosters fair and consistent tendering.

Our Testimonials

Chris has been supplying us with his outstanding structural steel detailing services for the last 18 months. Chris’s communication is excellent and he provides clear and easy to understand workshop drawings to present to our fabricators. He also provides IFC & DXF files for processing and a detailed spreadsheet containing a take-off, every beam, post, plate and bolt required. I highly recommend Chris’s service and look forward to working with him in the future.

We have used Chris on a number of our projects now and have found the process of getting him in early to work with the designer and structural engineers on the steel drawings to be a huge benefit to the project. Our steel manufactures love it because the job comes to them ‘ready to go’ and sharing with our wall frame and truss manufacture means all frames and heights are designed around the drawings too. The money spent on Chris’s design work gets repaid twice over in construction accuracy and site efficiency. His drawings are clear, precise, and easy to understand, and Chris will also communicate directly with all suppliers too. Nothing beats proper job planning and documentation from the start. I can highly recommend Chris’s professionalism and quality of work.
