CSD Engineering design team consists of (16) design engineers and (3) engineers with current licenses in over 48 states. Projects all over the U.S. have a growing requirement for connection design being deferred by EOR/AOR design teams. This service is provided in-house to streamline the process of design engineering and reduce long lead times. Not only do our customers avoid longer lead times, but they also benefit from a reduced cost of having CSD’s detailing and engineering teams collaborating under the same roof.

In order to be eligible for employment as a detailer at CSD Engineering, applicants must have a minimum of five years of experience specifically with structural steel. Once employed, they are considered entry-level detailers and will spend the next 12 months in our developmental (probationary) program. Our customers can be assured that their projects are being detailed by the best in the industry. We employ over 60 detailers, leads, project managers, and support staff on multiple, rotating shifts to maximize efficiency and productivity.

Our take off division is utilized by fabrication and erecting company estimators interested in producing more bids. This division is led by a team of steel estimators who model each project using Tekla. From this model, our customers receive a 3D snapshot of the steel, a take-off report, and a markup of the contract drawings to easily identify the steel picked up. CSD Engineering take off division has grown faster than any other department due to the value and benefit/cost ratio. Hiring CSD to produce your take off will come at a very competitive rate. However, a customer who hires us to detail the same awarded project will be credited back the cost of the take off service making it free of charge.
