This presentation provides valuable insights for structural engineers collaborating with steel fabricators and erectors. It focuses on optimizing building designs for efficient steel fabrication and erection, with an emphasis on material pricing, cost drivers, material selection for different applications, efficient connection design, and considerations for constructability. Lastly, the presentation will highlight how collaborative relationships between structural engineers and steel fabricators/erectors, combined with effective communication, coordination, and early involvement, can lead to successful projects.
