A structural drafter documents a structural engineer's design. They draw foundation and framing plans, sections, beam and column schedules and connection details, and for fabricators they produce steel, precast or rebar shop drawings. They pick up engineer markups and keep structural drawings and models coordinated with the architectural and MEP sets.
Structural drafters for engineering firms; steel detailers working in Tekla, Advance Steel and SDS2; precast and rebar detailers; and Revit structural technicians who model and coordinate structural systems.
