BIM Detailing and Shop Drawing Services for U.S. Subcontractors

Q: What software do you detail in?

We detail in Revit, Tekla, and AutoCAD or CADmep, or your own platform, and deliver in your formats, including RVT, DWG, IFC, and the fabrication exports your shop runs.

Q: How fast can you start?

A detailer or pod can be embedded on your project within 48 hours, and productive in the first week because we already work with your tools and standards.

Q: How do you protect our details and IP?

We work inside your environment under NDA. The models, drawings, and templates we build are delivered to you, never reused or held back.

Coordinated shop drawings, fabrication drawings, and spool sheets that keep your crews ahead of schedule and clear the BIM requirements that more GCs are putting in front of you.

When your detailing falls behind, your fabrication shop and your field crews both wait. Every GC that now requires BIM is one more qualification you have to clear just to win the work. Excelize performs as your extended detailing team. We coordinate with the construction model and your standards, so your shop drawings and spools are ready before the crews are.

The Detailing Squeeze

Your crews move only as fast as your detailing.

Detailing is where the schedule is won or lost. When shop drawings lag, fabrication stalls and the field waits, and more GCs will not shortlist a sub who cannot deliver coordinated BIM. Excelize gives you detailing capacity on demand. We scale up for a big award and scale back down once it ships, so you never carry the cost in between.

Inside Your Shop

How our detailing team works inside your shop.

Your environment

We detail in your tools — Revit, Tekla, AutoCAD or CADmep — to your standards, templates, and the GC’s BIM execution plan.

Coordinated with the construction model

We work to the federated model and the GC’s coordination process, so your scope is clash-free before fabrication.

U.S. hours, nationwide coverage

Detailers work U.S. hours out of our New Jersey and California offices, supporting subcontractors on projects across every U.S. state.

Embedded in 48 hours

A detailer or pod is on your project within two days, not the weeks an in-house hire takes to ramp up.

QA/QC’d before it reaches you

Every drawing set runs through a documented checklist and automated check, so your team approves the work instead of redoing it.

Secure by default

We work inside your environment under NDA. Every model, drawing, and template we build is delivered to you.

Coordinated detailing keeps the shop running.

The Business Case

The real cost of detailing that runs late.

For a fabricator, a late or uncoordinated detail is not just a drawing problem. It is a scrap problem and a field-rework problem. Material cut to a clash gets cut twice, and a crew sent to install against a bad model loses the day. More GCs are writing BIM deliverables directly into subcontract terms on commercial, healthcare, and datacenter work, which means a sub who cannot deliver coordinated detailing gets passed over for one who can.

The cheapest detailer rarely wins in the end. If your shop foreman spends half the week reworking a low-cost vendor’s drawings, the savings are already on the floor as scrap. Excelize is built for the opposite outcome: coordinated detailing that comes back fabrication-ready the first time, so your shop runs and your crews stay ahead.
