Who We Serve

Who We Work With

Three ways to put a dedicated Tekla Structures detailer on your project — direct, subcontracted, or placed.

Steel Fabricators

Outsource detailing capacity during demand peaks, without the cost of hiring in-house.

Detailing & Modelling Firms

Subcontract overflow projects when your own team is at capacity. I work inside your existing Tekla standards and templates.

Recruiters & Labour-Hire Agencies

Place a reliable, English-fluent Tekla detailer on temporary or project-based assignments.

02

Flexible Engagement

Available for direct fabricator projects, as subcontracted overflow capacity for detailing and modelling firms, or through recruiter-placed temporary assignments.

03

Competitive Pricing

A Brazil-based team delivering international-standard quality at a more competitive rate than local or onshore alternatives.

About the Founder

José Marques Junior — Civil Engineer, Steel Detailer, Project Coordinator & Founder

I'm a civil engineer and Tekla Structures specialist based in São Paulo, Brazil. I lived in Australia from 2018 to 2022 and have continued working remotely with Australian clients ever since. Since 2019 I've worked almost exclusively on steel detailing for the Australian market — first with SDS Structural Detailing Service, then with Precise Digital Construction (Gold Coast, QLD) — producing General Arrangement, Assembly and Part drawings for commercial and residential steel structures, including NC and DXF file exports for CNC fabrication. I'm also experienced in working from 3D scans of existing structures that need repair, turning as-built conditions into accurate, buildable models.

In 2025 I founded Steel Detailers to make that experience available more broadly: as a direct detailing partner for fabricators, as extra capacity for detailing and modelling firms during busy periods, and as a detailer recruiters can place on project-based assignments. I coordinate every project personally, from the first file to final delivery, overseeing 3D modelling, shop and erection drawings, and quality control. I work straight from your IFC/DWG files or inside your own Tekla standards and templates.

Fluent in English, comfortable with AS/NZS-based workflows, and used to coordinating directly with project managers, engineers and designers across time zones to keep drawings accurate, buildable, and on schedule.
