Ferrum Drafting turns structural drawings into fabrication-ready Tekla models and shop drawings — checked, coordinated, and closed out across a team spanning Ottawa and China since 2007.
From first extraction to the last closed-out request — one coordinated model behind every deliverable.
Full Tekla Structures models built to fabrication tolerance, with BIM coordination and clash detection against architectural and MEP before a single piece reaches the shop floor.
Shop drawings, general arrangement drawings, anchor bolt drawings, and fieldwork drawings — detailed for accuracy so your shop can build without guessing.
Bill of material, bolt lists, weights and estimating, plus CNC, DXF, DSTV, and Fabtrol files formatted for your shop machinery and workflow.
Every open question logged, answered, and closed out — coordinated across engineering, fabrication, and field teams so nothing stalls the schedule.
Founded in 2007, Ferrum Drafting has provided accurate, timely, and cost-effective steel detailing services for a multitude of sectors across North America. Our head office is in Ottawa, with two additional offices in China — giving clients better responsiveness and timeliness at a competitive price.
Using 3D Tekla Structures software, Ferrum Drafting processed over 33,000 tons of steel in 2026. With current staffing, our team of 20+ experienced detailers can process an average of 2,800 tons per month.
Based primarily in New York City, Ottawa, and Vancouver, working closely with a network of dependable fabricators, engineering, and architectural firms.
3D views pulled directly from completed Tekla models — the same coordinated data that drives the shop drawings.
