DK Associates

Estimate

We take this opportunity to introduce ourselves as one of the Building Service Consultants in the field of Pre-Engineered Buildings, Conventional Steel Buildings, RCC design, Estimation (BOQ) and other Building related activities. Our well experienced executive team is capable to handle complex and high value projects, insulated site offices, labour cottages, portable cabins.

We provide Estimates for Industrial sheds, Storage Buildings, Multi-Storey Steel Buildings, Pre-Engineered Buildings, Conventional Structures and Steel, Solar Panel Supporting Structures. We are well acquainted with Indian and International Code of structure design & Loading like IS800-1898/2007, IS801, IS-875, AISC, AISI, IBC-03, IBC-09, UBC, CBC etc.

Design

We Design & Analyze Industrial sheds, Storage Buildings, Multi-Storey Steel Buildings, Pre-Engineered Buildings, Conventional Buildings and Solar Panel Supporting Structures using latest softwares. Our Design system reflects the considerations of internationally accepted Building Codes such as IBC, UBC, IS, MBMA, AISC, ASD, etc. we offer several capabilities that make our services truly unique.

We offer structural steel connection engineering design services to contractors and fabricators, working closely directly and indirectly with us and connection design allows for a more efficient flow of vital design communication, helping us to avoid connection design delays and misunderstandings.

We covers design of all types of Pre-Engineered Buildings, Conventional Buildings and Combination of Both buildings with large clear span up to 75m, Heavy duty cranes, Multistory Buildings with steel mezzanine floors, Buildings with Hips and Valleys, Industrial Buildings with crane, mezzanine, plate form, Cold storage Buildings, Stadium Building, Showrooms, Marriage halls, Warehouses, Ginning & Pressing Buildings, Spinning mill Buildings, Aircraft Hangers and any kind of complex buildings.
Insulated Houses for site offices, labor cottages with the help latest softwares.

* The design of all components of a building is to conform to the system’s standard approach.
a) Use of standardized engineering software for frame analysis simplifies and reduces the design cycle.
b) Standard steel inventories shall be used. In the event that special materials are required for a specific job application, these must be identified to Production Control for timely availability.
c) Use of built-up structural sections (particularly tapered sections) dramatically reduces total supply weight of building.
d) The use of standard connections reduces cycle time in detailing, fabrication, and erection.

Our design package includes,
a) Design Criteria.
b) Column support Reactions with Anchor Bolt layout.
c) Proposal Drawings with Building Plans, Sections, Elevations.
d) Provision of providing Stability Certificate against designed building after completion as per design considerations.

Detailing

Structural steel Detailing is the process of translating design/engineering/contract drawings to fabrication drawings, BOM & Erection drawings. Our detailing system includes the considerations of internationally accepted terminology, the inventory management objectives of the Client, the machine and process capabilities of the plant, and the reality of actual site construction conditions. The format of fabrication drawings and the method of presenting information is made to conform with the particular
Manufacturing conditions of a particular company’s plant. Our Engineers and detailers are aware with the relationship of design/detailing to the manufacturing and site erection activities inherent in the project.

It is expected that our professional will carefully consider the following to respect the detailing.

a) We are detailing all components through incorporation of standardized details.
b) Our Fabrication Drawings, Erection Drawings and BOM are very clear and unambiguous, any reader like Fabricator and Erector can understand them. This will reduce the confusion and ensure faster Fabrication and Erection.
c) The use of running (cumulative) base line dimensioning enhances shop efficiency.
d) Adherence to these standards will result in the efficiency gains in time which are required for a designer/detailer to economically and safely approach virtually any steel structure job.

Our detailing package includes

Approval Drawings

Shop Drawings

Bill of Materials

Erection Drawings

Approval Drawings

Approval drawings are the Erection drawings sent to the client or consultant for their approval before to proceed the fabrication drawings. The only difference in between the approval drawings and the Erection Drawings is the part marking. All the Approval Drawing Documents are shown without part marks on the components.Following are common drawings shown in Approval drawings / Erection drawings.

a) Index Sheet.
b) Anchor bolts layout plan.
c) Building cross section.
d) Endwall framing & sheeting elevations.
e) Sidewall framing & sheeting elevations.
f) Roof framing plan.
g) Roof sheeting layout.

Index Sheet

* Index Sheet
The Index sheet is a cover sheet for all erection drawings either for approval or erection drawing. It is used as a list to identify all the attached drawing in the package.

Anchor bolts layout plan

* Anchor bolts layout plan

It tells the client / consultant / erector about to set the Anchor Bolts in the site to receive the building. It is usually sent to the client after receipt of approved drawings. Anchor bolt plan is also essential for the final design of foundations. It shows total length and total width of the building, (steel line to steel line dimension), Locations and dimension of all columns, Grid lines and their dimensions, Braced wall locations and other related details.

Building cross section

* Building cross section

The building cross section tells the Erector, how to set the main frame of the building.

Endwall framing & sheeting elevations

* Endwall framing & sheeting elevations

Endwall framing and sheeting elevation shows all the structural components of the endwall including E.W.Columns, E.W.Rafters, girts and framed openings, wall panels to allow the erector to place them in correct place.

Sidewall framing & sheeting elevations

* Sidewall framing & sheeting elevations

Sidewall framing and sheeting elevation shows all the structural components of the sidewall including the R.F.Columns, girts, framed openings and bracings, wall panels to allow the erector to place them in correct place.

Roof framing plan

* Roof framing plan

Roof framing plan shows all the structural components of the roof including the frames, purlin, framed openings and bracing to allow the erector to place them in correct place.

Roof sheeting layout

* Roof sheeting layout

Roof sheeting plan helps the erector to put all roof panels and roof accessories in their right place.

Shop Drawings

We are providing detailing of fabrication /Shop drawings for all components in Buildings in combination with BOM:
a) All Built-up members.
b) All Hot rolled member.
c) Cold formed members which have non-standard cutting, punching, welding details.
d) Special clip.
e) Special trims.
f) Special bracing.
g) Ladders.

Bill of Materials

The Bill of Materials, also known as the BOM, is a document that contains a comprehensive list of all the components and accessories in a building including tools, etc. that are to be shipped with the building. The BOM is the most important document of the engineering department’s output (Engineering output includes design calculations, erection drawings, shop details and the BOM). Unlike other Engineering output documents which address a single need, the BOM addresses various needs and purposes.

Erection Drawings

Erection drawings are the documents that tell the erector how to build the steel building in the site. An independent set of erection drawings is required for each building.Therefore Erection drawings are made for the customer or erector. They are not made for internal purposes. The information and presentation must be made for the understanding and knowledge of a normal steel builder who does not know our internal system.

We offer steel detailing services to:
* Fabricators
* Structure Engineers
* Contractors
* Structural consultants
* Architects
* Anyone else who is engaged in steel fabrication and related activities.
