From structural information
to fabrication detail.
At MAH Steel, we provide steel CAD services across London, Kent, and the South East, giving builders and contractors fully coordinated designs before fabrication begins. Our CAD drawings are produced to exact structural specifications, ensuring every steel component is ready for manufacture, structural steel fabrication and installation.
Our CAD team works closely with engineers, architects, and contractors to ensure every detail matches the structural requirements of the project. From steel beams and columns to connection details and custom fabrications, every element is clearly defined to support accurate manufacturing at our steel fabrication factory in Gravesend.
CAD files are fully compatible with CNC and laser cutting equipment, allowing us to transfer designs directly into production with precision. This ensures every steel component is cut and prepared exactly as specified, reducing errors and keeping fabrication efficient. For 3D models and coordination, see our 3D steel modelling service.

Steel CAD services questions and answers.
Our steel CAD services support the development of accurate and efficient structural designs, from initial concepts through to detailed technical drawings. This section covers common questions about how CAD modelling is used in steel projects, including design coordination, drawing production, revisions, and how digital workflows improve accuracy and project delivery.
What are steel CAD services used for in structural steelwork?
Steel CAD services are used to produce detailed 2D technical drawings for structural steel projects. These drawings include precise dimensions, layouts, and fabrication details that guide engineers, fabricators, and installers throughout the project.
How do CAD drawings support structural steel fabrication?
CAD drawings provide clear, scaled information that is used to manufacture steel components accurately. They help define beam sizes, connection points, and assembly details, ensuring all fabricated steelwork is produced to the correct specifications.
What is the difference between steel CAD drawings and 3D modelling?
Steel CAD drawings are 2D technical representations focusing on dimensions, elevations, and fabrication details, while 3D modelling shows a full visual representation of the structure. CAD is typically used for detailed documentation and manufacturing reference, whereas 3D modelling is used for visualisation and coordination.
Can you work from our drawings?
Yes. Send us your drawings or job details, and we can work from suitable drawings. We also accept manually drafted plans, and our software allows us to turn them into precise drawings.
Are the drawings approved before the steel is fabricated?
Yes. We prepare the drawings, and you and your engineer approve them before fabrication starts.
Got drawings? Let's talk steel.
From residential steel beams to large commercial packages, our team can provide reliable pricing and advice. Send us your drawings or job details and we'll discuss the practical next steps.
