Structural Steel Detailing in New York, NY
New York City is the most demanding construction market in the world — high-rise towers over 50 stories, compressed urban sites, intensive union coordination, and multi-billion-dollar public infrastructure programs that push structural steel detailing to its technical limits. The NYC market requires detailing partners who can navigate complex high-rise structural systems, DOB submission requirements, and the BIM coordination mandates that major NYC GCs enforce. Tectonix delivers the modeling depth and U.S. management that NYC-adjacent fabricators need.

New York Steel Detailing — Frequently Asked Questions
Does Tectonix have experience with the documentation demands of New York City building projects?
