From Vision to Reality: The McDonald’s Building Project

September 9, 2025

In our McDonald’s building project, steel became the key to transforming an incomplete design into a fully realized structure. By refining models, creating fabrication drawings, and designing missing connections, we turned challenges into precise, efficient solutions. This project showcases how steel detailing ensures both architectural vision and construction reliability. It highlights our ability to step in, solve problems, and keep projects moving forward without compromise.
