How to Read Iron Engineering’s Cold-Formed Steel Shop Drawings

We provide CFS shop drawings with a quick turnaround and fast approvals from architects and engineers.

When you work with Iron Engineering, you’ll receive more than just a traditional set of shop drawings. With our experience as whole building structural engineers, we know what engineers and architects are looking for when it comes to metal studs and framing.

In this short video, we explain everything an engineer, architect or contractor needs to know to use our shop drawings. This includes:

• Critical items to review first (reference drawings, PE stamp, etc.)
• Stud wall bracing options
• Equivalency chart for SSMA and ClarkDietrich nomenclature
• Window, door, and louver opening elevations.
