Quality Design
High Performance
A&M Design Services prepares all Rebar Shop Drawings in accordance with the latest version of the American Concrete Institute; ACI 315, “ACI Detailing Manual”, SP-66 (04) and “Manual of Standard Practice for Detailing Reinforced Concrete Structures”, ACI-318.
Building Information Modeling
This model-based design approach increases efficiency and effectiveness within all types of trades. The process shows its full potential and accuracy during project delivery coordination. Benefits Include:
Capture Reality: With BIM designers can accurately capture field conditions and have all information compiled and shared in a model. This allows our design team to create some of the most accurate work the industry has seen.
Improve Production Time: BIM modeling’s extremely detailed analysis of projects immensely decreases the chance of rework. This allows each individual organization a great amount of time to work together with our design team to solve any issues ahead of time.
Resolve Conflict: BIM Modeling allows our engineers to foresee future complications or issues. The clashing of elements such as a beam pocket interfering with ductwork can be determined in advance prior to field RFI’s thanks to the BIM’s detailed report.
CAD/ Drafting
A&M Design Services provides accurate computer aided drafting services and shop drawings that are drafted precisely to create dimensionally accurate shop drawings. Our extremely detailed drawings show all locations of openings, beams, steel plates, curtains wall embed, sleeves, recesses, etc. in walls and slabs as per the contract documents.
Project Estimating
Each aspect of a project depending on the complexity and size determines project estimating. An important factor in estimating a job accurately is to fully understand the scope of the project so our team can determine what is to be achieved. A&M Design Services will help in the process of planning, organizing, and controlling project resources.
Dimensional Drawings
A&M Design Services will include the most detailed drawings leaving field workers with a simple, accurate drawing to work from. All geometric information needed, will be clearly provided to leave no confusion in the field when time is most valuable. Our drawings include all aspects of the project including location and size of slab and wall openings, depressions, slab steps, block outs, and the location and size of columns for accurate field placement.
Rebar Shop Drawing
Rebar detailing is the process of preparing shop placement drawings for construction with the information of reinforcing steel provided by the Architect/Engineer. A&M Design Services uses the latest version of the “ACI Detailing Manual” and the “Manual of Standard Practice for Detailing Reinforced Concrete Structures” along with the provided information to call out the quantity, description, placement and laps of the reinforcing steel.

Construction As-Built Drawings
As-built drawings are an essential part of every construction project. The main purpose an as-built drawing serves is to identify what changes were made throughout the course of constructing a project. The final sets of an as-built drawing holds important information; such as shop drawing changes, design changes, field changes, approved and disapproved changes during construction, and any minor or major modification to the final resulting project.
Types:
- Electrical
- Hvac
- Concrete
- Masonry
Architectural Layout Drawings
These drawings are used to develop the architects design idea, into an intelligible document that is able to communicate to builders, other practices and specialists, the concepts and ideas of a project.
- Topping Slabs
- Landscape Layouts
- Pavement Layouts
- Formliner Layouts
- Formwork Layout
Misc. Steel Drawings
- Shear Studs
- Metal Decking
