The CSG Approach
One Integrated Project Model
Complex steel projects are not delivered in isolated disciplines. Structural decisions affect connections. Connections affect fabrication. Models drive shop information. Erection requirements shape what is practical in the field.
CSG connects those decisions through one production-focused project model—helping teams maintain continuity, address questions earlier, and reduce avoidable downstream disruption.

Integrated Project Model
Coordinated. Connected. Current.
Clearer Responsibility
Scope and technical ownership remain visible across disciplines.
Earlier Coordination
Questions can be addressed before they become production issues.
Fabrication Alignment
Project information reflects shop standards and release priorities.
Field Readiness
Erection requirements inform decisions before steel reaches the site.
01
Structural Engineering
CSG provides structural engineering for complex steel buildings and specialty structures, with systems developed around performance, constructability, project requirements, and the realities of fabrication and erection.
Our engineers evaluate structural behavior, resolve technical challenges, and translate design requirements into buildable steel solutions. Connections, detailing interfaces, construction conditions, and field requirements are considered as part of the work—not as disconnected downstream concerns.
Engineering decisions developed with the complete steel package in view.
Core Capabilities
- Structural analysis and design
- Complex and specialty steel systems
- Seismic and wind design coordination
- Constructability and design-assist support
- Coordination with fabrication and erection requirements
02
Connection Design
CSG develops buildable steel connections aligned with structural requirements, fabricator preferences, detailing standards, and erection needs.
Connection strategy is coordinated with the surrounding steel and project model so repetition, plate geometry, bolts, welds, access, tolerances, and erection sequence can be considered together. CSG supports delegated-design and project-specific scopes with calculations, sketches, and responsive technical coordination.
Connections that work in the calculation, the shop, and the field.
Core Capabilities
- Steel connection analysis and design
- Delegated-design connection packages
- Connection calculations and sketches
- Fabricator-standard coordination
- Integration with detailing and project models
03
Steel Detailing
CSG transforms design requirements into production-level models and the information needed to purchase, fabricate, and erect structural and miscellaneous steel.
Detailers, project managers, and checkers work within disciplined SDS/2 workflows to develop shop and erection documents, resolve missing information, maintain fabricator standards, control revisions, organize releases, and support production through field completion.
Reliable project information organized around fabrication and release.
Core Capabilities
- Production-level SDS/2 modeling
- Shop and erection drawings
- Anchor-bolt plans and bills of material
- CNC and material data
- Revision, release, and fabrication support
04
BIM/VDC
BIM/VDC at CSG is part of the production workflow—not a separate visualization exercise. Model-based coordination connects structural, architectural, MEP, fabrication, and field information before conflicts reach production or erection.
CSG works across SDS/2, Revit, Navisworks, Tekla, AutoCAD, IFC, and related project information to identify spatial conflicts, maintain interfaces, manage revisions, and improve communication across the project team.
A coordinated model is valuable when the people producing and erecting the steel can rely on it.
Core Capabilities
- Multidiscipline model coordination
- Clash identification and resolution support
- Model exchange and interface management
- Revision and constructability coordination
- Quantity and sequence support when included in scope
05
Erection Engineering
CSG provides engineering support for the temporary conditions, sequencing, stability, lifting considerations, and field decisions that shape steel erection.
The work is developed with an understanding of the permanent structure, connection behavior, fabrication constraints, access, and project-specific field requirements. Bringing erection thinking forward helps teams evaluate temporary conditions and address field challenges with greater technical continuity.
Erection is not the last step in the thinking.
Core Capabilities
- Erection-sequence engineering support
- Temporary stability evaluation
- Temporary bracing concepts and calculations
- Staged-construction analysis
- Field and erection-related technical support
Supporting the Work
Capabilities That Strengthen Every Service
These capabilities help CSG maintain reliable information, technical quality, and production continuity across individual and integrated scopes.
QA/QC + Checking
Structured checking and technical review aligned with project requirements, fabricator standards, model responsibilities, and release priorities.
Fabrication Support
Responsive coordination for shop questions, revisions, releases, material information, and production-related decisions.
Staged Construction
Engineering and coordination support for temporary conditions, sequencing, stability, and structural behavior during construction.
Project Coordination
Clear communication across engineering, connections, detailing, fabrication, model coordination, and field stakeholders.
Experience Applied to the Work
Services Proven Across Demanding Steel Markets
CSG’s teams have supported advanced manufacturing, industrial, aviation, hospitality, healthcare, sports, commercial, and specialty structures where coordination, constructability, and schedule are critical.
That experience allows each service to begin with a clearer understanding of the decisions that will affect fabrication, project information, and field execution.
