Why Choose Dixie Drafting?

Dixie Drafting is a U.S. Based business. We do not outsource any of our work, period. All work is done in the United States.

Economy:

The Steel business has seen many ups and downs over the last 4-5 years. The outrageous cost of steel caused many layoffs and some companies to close up shop forever. By using Dixie Drafting you don’t have to worry about keeping detailers busy in lean times or possibly laying people off due to “slow period” of sales.

Presentation:

When you walk into a project meeting with a set of dwgs ask yourself “Do these drawings represent my company effectively?” Or are you embarrassed to even unroll them? Let Dixie Drafting maintain the professional reputation your company worked so hard for. All detailing is done to A.I.S.C standards and we spend a lot of time on drawing presentation. We also offer custom reports which are tailored to each clients needs. Some examples are: assembly lists, drawing transmittals, bolt lists for shop and field, shipping lists etc. If you need a report for specific items San Tan Steel can create one for your company.

Trained Detailers:

We have trained detailers on staff, not trained software operators. One problem we have seen in this industry is people buying a Structural Detailing software package and then calling themselves detailers. It takes years of experience and exposure to different types of projects to be considered a detailer. Here at Dixie Drafting we are able to offer the industry with over 20 years of actual detailing experience. We are able to handle any project you need detailed. Our speciality are high complex projects which utilize hip and valley systems, crane systems, and mezzanine systems just to name a few.

Technology:

Dixie Drafting stays on top of technology utilizing nothing but the best in workstations, software and equipment allowing for a more productive environment.

Competitive Rates:

We offer competitive rates compared to other detailing firms utilizing the same technology. This opens the door for smaller fabricators that can’t afford an in house detailing staff, software and equipment. And they will benefit just as much as the large fabricators with the same quality of drawings and workmanship.

Communication:

When we quote a project we estimate a realistic turnaround time. We will not give you the answer we think you want to hear. We will answer all e-mails, phone calls, Faxes. We believe any answer good or bad is better than no answer. We are very honest and when we give a completition date we stick to it no matter what it takes.
