STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING PRODUCTION
Structural Design
Gravity and lateral system production support built on your engineer’s structural design basis and
framing scheme.
Our Founding and Mission
Introduction
NexMEP Global LLC provides structural design production support to U.S. structural and MEP consulting firms working across commercial, residential, multifamily, healthcare, hospitality, industrial, institutional, and mixed-use projects. Our team functions as an extension of your engineering staff, carrying framing layout, gravity system documentation, and lateral system coordination from concept through construction documents while your licensed structural engineers retain full design authority and stamp responsibility. We work inside your Revit and AutoCAD standards, your framing conventions, and your review process, so the output reads as if it came from your own production floor.
This is production capacity, not outsourced design. Every framing plan, member layout, and connection schedule we produce is built to be reviewed, redlined, and stamped by your engineer of record. Your firm determines structural system type, member sizing, and lateral force-resisting system design; our role is to carry that design intent through detailed modeling and construction documentation at the pace your project requires.
DESIGN ACCURACY & COMPLIANCE
Why This Service Matters
Structural design sits at the center of every other discipline’s coordination effort — floor-to-floor heights, mechanical shaft locations, and architectural ceiling clearances all trace back to the framing scheme your engineer establishes. A framing layout that is not carefully modeled and coordinated early creates downstream conflicts that are far more expensive to resolve once other disciplines have built their own designs around an assumed structural condition.
Firms that lack the internal bandwidth to carry detailed framing production through multiple design phases face a difficult choice: slow down other active projects or push deadlines and absorb the client relationship risk that comes with missed milestones. Production support closes that gap without asking your firm to compromise on technical oversight, keeping framing plans, member schedules, and connection documentation synchronized throughout the design process.
Our Capabilities
Gravity Framing Layouts
Developing detailed floor and roof framing plans based on your engineer's member sizing.
Lateral Force-Resisting Systems
Documenting braced frames, moment frames, and shear walls to match structural design specs.
Interdisciplinary Framing Alignment
Coordinating structural depth with floor-to-floor heights, ceiling grids, and shaft openings.
Complex Geometry Support
Translating transfer conditions, long-span framing, and irregular floor plates into clear plans.
Multi-Phase Production Support
Carrying models smoothly from schematic design through permit-ready construction documents.
Standards & Template Integration
Seamlessly modeling within your firm's specific Revit templates, CAD standards, and family libraries.
Calculations
Engineering Calculations
Calculation methodology built for accurate, traceable HVAC equipment sizing.
Dimension & Schedule Verification
Rigorous alignment of framing plan dimensions against architectural gridlines and cross-referencing member schedules to calculations.
Load Path & System Summaries
Comprehensive documentation tracing gravity and lateral load paths down to foundations, keyed directly to framing plans.
Calculations
Systems We Support
Ventilation-related calculation support includes outdoor air rate compilation.
Structural Steel Systems
Composite deck, open-web joists, rolled shapes, and custom moment connections.
Cast-in-Place & Precast Concrete
Conventional reinforced concrete, post-tensioned slabs, beams, and columns.
Wood & Engineered Timber
Light-frame wood construction, mass timber, glulam, and engineered floor trusses.
Unit Masonry Systems
Reinforced concrete masonry unit (CMU) bearing and shear wall assemblies.
Lateral System Assemblies
Concentric/eccentric braced frames, steel moment frames, and concrete cores.
Hybrid Structural Interfaces
Mixed-material integration such as steel framing anchored to concrete shear cores.
Our production team expertly documents structural systems across diverse materials and structural configurations, ensuring fully coordinated framing plans regardless of project complexity.
Calculations
Software, Workflow & Coordination
Rigorous backup calculations formatted directly for permit submission and QA/QC documentation.
Software & Production Workflow
Modeled in Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD within your BIM 360 / ACC environment. We execute structured checkpoints across schematic, design development, and construction document phases, backed by a shared model log tracking design decisions.
Revit & AutoCAD Coordination
Framing depths are clash-tested in Navisworks against mechanical ductwork, piping runs, and electrical racks. Grid references and core dimensions are continuously reconciled against architectural models to prevent spatial propagation errors.
