Since the beginning of this century, the designing and detailing of steel structures have moved past pencil and paper models to hug-tech and sophisticated graphic models. Over these years, investors have been investing in machinery and technology to improve the efficiency of this process. The introduction of internet and email services have proved to be a boon to the steel industry.
