Built on software, standards, and real accountability
Any firm can license Tekla or SDS2. Not every firm knows how to use them right—or backs it with industry-tested processes and certifications
Trusted and Used by the Best in Steel
Tools built to model, export, and deliver without rework
Our outputs are built for fabrication, field use, and seamless BIM integration. SDS2’s built-in connection design lets us move fast without outsourcing. Large-scale? No problem. Our software and team scale with you.
Tekla Structures
From shop drawings to 3D model coordination, we help projects stay fully on schedule, under budget, and to spec.
SDS2
We follow AISC, NISD, and OSHA standards to ensure code compliance, review approval, and fabrication accuracy.
Standards matter when it’s time to bolt, weld, or lift
We align with AISC’s Code of Standard Practice and OSHA safety protocols from the first sheet. That includes weld symbols, hole sizes, labeling, and clear sequencing your field crew will actually follow. Our detailers don’t guess—they’re trained to spec.
AISC Code of Standard Practice
OSHA steel erection protocols
NISD internal checking procedures
IDC-certified detailers
We don’t just follow the industry. We help shape it.
Chris Harms and the team are active voices at NISD events and AISC seminars. From software beta programs to code updates, we stay in the loop so your deliverables don’t fall behind. The result? Projects that move with the times—and avoid outdated specs.
Backed by the industry. Built for the field.
We follow the specs, respect the codes, and train with the best so your drawings pass review the first time.
National Institute of Steel Detailing
We train to NISD expectations and run every file through real-world prep, export checks, and clarity reviews.
American Institute of Steel Construction
Our team builds around AISC rules, including bolt holes, weld specs, and shop-readiness for better approvals.
Steel Erectors Association of America
We format around field reality, trim install delays, and build precisely for how erectors read and flag issues.
Drawings that pass code review and welding inspection
Code-compliant. Inspector-ready. H&R’s drawings follow the specs that actually get reviewed in the field. From ICC’s structural code expectations to AWS’s weldi ng standards, our outputs are designed to pass scrutiny.
International Code Council (ICC)
We align every drawing with ICC structural codes to reduce permit RFIs and ensure faster plan review approval.
American Welding Society (AWS)
Weld symbols, joint specs, and details follow strict AWS standards so fabrication crews can build correctly the very first time.
When fabrication fails, fingers point at the drawings
Start with a detailing partner who brings certified software, tested processes, and a track record of accountability—before you even open the first file.
