What is FERUM?

FERUM™ is a cloud-based platform for managing steel connection design coordination and detailing workflows.

Overview

FERUM™ turns connection design into a structured, trackable workflow.

Instead of relying on disconnected documents and email chains, teams work from connection-level records that keep design intent, references, and supporting information in one place.

The Problem

Steel connection coordination is often fragmented across calculations, PDFs, emails, RFIs, and shop drawing markups.

Critical design intent is lost or misinterpreted as information moves between engineers, detailers, and fabricators.

This creates ambiguity, rework, delays — and most importantly — real project risk.

The Solution

FERUM™ provides a centralized, connection-level source of truth for engineers, detailers, and fabricators.

Every connection is clearly defined, traceable, and backed by its design intent.

How It Works

  • 01Upload structural drawings
  • 02Define connection nodes
  • 03Attach calculations, sketches, and references
  • 04Organize each connection by phase, lift or sequence
  • 05Extract fabrication data (bolts, plates, welds)
  • 06Track revisions and coordination

Where FERUM Fits

FERUM does not replace design or detailing tools.

It connects them—by managing the information between engineering and detailing workflows.

FERUM™ is a system that connects engineering intent to detailing execution at the connection level.
