Designs based on actual loads, rather than conservative uniform distributions, can significantly cut fabrication expenses. Involving fabricators early in the design process ensures that connections align with shop capabilities and workforce strengths, paving the way for cost-efficient and practical solutions. Connection design impacts both shop and field costs, making collaboration between engineers and fabricators essential. By leveraging fabricators' expertise, streamlining designs, and aligning projects with real-world requirements, teams can deliver greater value while keeping costs under control. Simplification and trust in expertise are key to optimizing steel construction projects. https://lnkd.in/dS5vDByQ The Fabricator | Schuff Steel | #Manufacturing
