Engineers, not just drafters
We are a structural engineering firm. Our team designs steel structures and checks connections in-house, so we catch design issues before they reach your shop floor, not after.

Why Techsteel
Why fabricators work with Techsteel
Same-day answers
Our office in Curitiba, Brazil, is just 1–2 hours ahead of New York and 4–5 hours ahead of Los Angeles. Your questions get answered during your workday, not overnight.
Built for heavy industrial work
Steel mills, mining plants, petrochemical facilities, distribution centers and multi-story buildings. We have detailed large projects shared among multiple fabricators, with full revision tracking.
Time zone
Your workday is our workday
Offshore detailing usually means sending a question at 4 PM and getting the answer tomorrow. With Techsteel, our day overlaps with all four US time zones, so RFIs and revisions move the same day.
Office hours: Mon–Fri, 8 AM – 6 PM Brasília time.
