CIVIL & STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

Stahl Sheaffer Engineering applies Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a core process, employing Revit to develop designs coordinated both internally and with outside consultants and clients. Revit enables us to identify potential problems that would be difficult to predict in 2-D designs, particularly related to interactions between structure and architecture or MEP systems.  We use these models to help owners better visualize the 3-D construct of a design, which is difficult to do from a drawing. Our modeling goes beyond the typical column, footing, and beams often found in structural Revit designs. Our enhanced level of detail includes items such as:

​

• Atypical connections

• Topography/grading

• Hangers and kickers

• Continuous bent plate or angle

• Coordinated edge of slab location

• Baseplates and anchors

​

Construction documents are produced from within Revit, not exported to a CAD file to be annotated, and reflect the model detail and needs of the end-user with multiple 3-D views of the same plan dimensioning different stages of construction and individualized sections
