Once the steel details are complete, the fabrication model can be used by the design team
or the contractor for the purpose of 4D modeling as well as clash detection with other
building disciplines (BIM and Digital Fabrication, 2008).
Early Steel Detailing is a process, where the development of structural steel shop
drawings takes place concurrently with the development of the construction documents
(Trammell, 2009). In such an approach the steel detailer works directly with the design
team in an effort to produce the first sequence of shop drawings simultaneously with or
immediately after production of contract documents for the project. These drawings can
be used to obtain a more exact quote from a steel fabricator and then begin the process of
fabricating steel for the job immediately without waiting for shop drawings to be
developed by the fabricator or detailer (Farrow, 2007)
