Steel joists and girders form the backbone of structural framing in many commercial and industrial buildings, supporting floors and roofs with efficiency and strength. At Consac, we specialize in providing comprehensive steel joist and girder detailing services that meet rigorous industry standards and client requirements.
Our experienced team of structural engineers, detailers, project managers, and checkers collaborates closely throughout every project phase to deliver precise and constructible detailing. We adhere strictly to the Steel Joists Institute (SJI) standards, which define the requirements for design, fabrication, and erection of steel joists and girders. This ensures that our detailing aligns perfectly with code and project specifications.
Our Specialized Offerings
- Open Web Steel Joists K-Series
- DLH-Series and LH-Series
- Single Pitched Joist
- Double Pitched Joist
- Bowstring Joist
We provide detailed erection and placement drawings for all common steel joist types including Open Web Steel Joists (K-Series), Deep Longspan (DLH-Series), Longspan (LH-Series), as well as single pitched, double pitched, and bowstring joists. Each drawing includes critical information such as member sizes, connection details, seat designs with stiffeners, and bridging layouts to ensure structural stability and ease of installation.
Our detailing process also includes the preparation of accurate Bill of Materials (BOM) which lists every component required for fabrication and erection. This reduces errors, prevents material shortages, and supports efficient project planning. We optimize joist and girder sizing to reduce weight and cost without compromising strength or safety, resulting in economic and time-efficient solutions.

Wood nailer joist detailing plays a crucial role in modern steel and concrete construction systems, especially in roofing assemblies. Wood nailers are installed on top of steel or concrete joists to provide a stable and secure surface for attaching roofing materials, curbs, mechanical equipment, and other structural elements. These wooden members act as critical interface components that support both structural stability and installation flexibility.
At Consac, our wood nailer joist detailing services are designed to ensure structural compatibility, precise execution, and long-term durability. With close attention to technical detailing, material performance, and industry best practices, we ensure that wood nailers perform optimally in any construction setting—be it commercial, industrial, or institutional.
