About
Structural steel detailer with over 10 years of hands-on experience —
gained inside steel fabrication companies, not in a design office.
Industrial plants, warehouses, and architectural steel structures.
WHAT I DELIVER
- 3D steel modelling in Tekla Structures
- Shop drawings, assembly and single-part drawings
- Erection drawings and complete fabrication packages
- CNC-ready output — DXF / DWG / PDF and NC files
- Material take-offs and bills of material
- Reading and cross-referencing architectural and structural drawings
- Coordination with the shop floor throughout fabrication
WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT
I build my own Tekla Structures plugins in C# using the Tekla Open API
to automate drawing production and repetitive detailing tasks.
On large or repetitive packages this cuts production time significantly
and removes the human errors that come with manual repetition.
WHY FABRICATORS WORK WITH ME
Ten years on the fabrication side means tolerances, weld access,
handling and erection sequence are considered while modelling —
not discovered later in the shop.
Based in Israel — working hours overlap with Europe and US East Coast.
Hebrew, English, Russian. Registered business, proper invoicing.
