Digital Steel details the complex geometry most shops dread — monumental stairs, switchbacks, curved runs, rails, ladders, misc steel. Clean SDS/2 models, low RFI volume, fixed-fee quotes. No hand-holding required.
Beam-and-column detailing is becoming a commodity. Stairs aren’t. Complex geometry still takes judgment — that’s the work we take on.
Monumental stairs, switchbacks, scissor stairs, curved and circular runs, straight egress, exterior steel stairs. Stringers, treads, risers, landings, and every connection in between — modeled clean so your shop floor never has to interpret.
Pipe rail, bar rail, picket and cable infill. Code-compliant geometry, clean welded details, splice and mounting layouts.
Ship ladders, fixed access ladders, cages, roof access, equipment platforms. Anchorage and tie-back details included.
Bollards, lintels, embeds, posts, frames, miscellaneous structural support. The “everything else” package that bogs down in-house detailing rooms.
Stair and connection calcs coordinated through our licensed engineering partner — stamped calculations available when your project requires them.
Most of our work is schools, municipal, and commercial buildings — projects with documentation discipline and zero tolerance for field surprises.
Full-height stair packages — flights, landings, rails, and embeds coordinated floor to floor across the tower.
Architecturally exposed work where the connections show. Rolled stringers, faceted rails, geometry that has to land within a sixteenth.
Ship ladders, caged ladders, equipment platforms with bar grating — OSHA-compliant details, anchored and tied back.

Built for fabricators who don’t want a learning curve — or a project manager between them and the person doing the work.
Digital Steel LLC is owned and operated by Justin Temple from Angel Fire, New Mexico — working with fabricators nationally. Every model on every project is built by the same person who answered your first email.
The shop is small on purpose. No handoffs between detailers, no quality drift between projects, no junior staff learning on your job. It’s how the turnaround stays predictable and the communication stays direct.
While AI tooling commoditizes beam-and-column work, stairs still demand judgment — reading the architect’s intent, catching the conflict before it’s steel, knowing what the shop floor actually needs. That judgment is the product.
If you need a pre-fab stair shipped to a job site, a catalog company will serve you better. If you need offshore volume detailing at the lowest hourly rate, that market exists too. We do custom commercial stair and misc steel packages that need judgment — and we do them for fabricators who’ve been burned before.
Send drawings, scope notes, or just a question. You’ll get a fixed-fee quote and a target turnaround — not a sales call.
Scope notes, a drawing set, or just the job name and stair count — whatever you have.
Price and target turnaround inside one business day. No sales call, no follow-up sequence.
You talk directly to the detailer doing the work — from first reply to final deliverable.
First response inside one business day. No gatekeeping, no “call for details.”
