How to Create a Drawing (for Steel Structures)

November 13, 2025

Every successful steel structure begins with a precise drawing, the link between design and fabrication. At Cadeli, we use advanced modeling tools and strict standards to create clear, detailed, and production-ready drawings. From building a well-structured 3D model to thorough quality control and final issuing, our process ensures accuracy, efficiency, flawless execution, complete client satisfaction, seamless collaboration across all project teams worldwide, timely delivery within every project deadline, and adherence to the highest safety and quality standards throughout.

Precision Beyond the Drawing

October 30, 2025

Engineering precision isn’t just about drawings and dimensions – it starts much earlier. At Cadeli, it begins in conversations, reviews, and the constant refinement of our methods. Every internal discussion helps us model, name, and communicate better. By improving even one percent on each project, we create lasting impact where precision becomes a daily mindset – shaping not only our drawings but also how teams collaborate, make decisions, and bring ideas to life. It’s a process of continuous improvement that drives innovation, strengthens trust between disciplines, and ensures that every project, big or small, reflects our shared commitment to quality.

Hybrid Concrete–Steel Structure and Canopy Design

October 23, 2025

This project focused on designing and coordinating steel connections for a hybrid concrete–steel structure. Through 3D modeling and close collaboration with fabricators, we developed custom, constructible solutions that improved fit, stability, and visual integration – especially in the canopy. The outcome was a fully coordinated fabrication model and detailed drawings translating analytical concepts into buildable solutions. The project strengthened collaboration between all stakeholders.

From Chaos to Stability: Turning Complex Steel Challenges into Solid Structures

October 14, 2025

At Cadeli, we transform challenging steel projects into stable, buildable solutions. By analyzing load paths, optimizing connections, and using tools like Tekla, SCIA, and IDEA StatiCa, we turn flawed designs into safe, efficient, and fully constructible structures. Our expertise ensures every project reaches its full potential. Every detail truly matters for lasting quality.

Small Gestures, Big Impact: Cadeli Supports “Palčić gore”

September 30, 2025

At Cadeli, we believe small gestures make a big difference. That’s why we joined the “Palčić gore!” campaign, supporting premature babies and their families in Croatia. Every act of kindness, from spreading awareness to making a small donation, contributes to creating a lasting impact and improving care for these tiny fighters. By standing behind “Palčić gore,” we wish to inspire others to do the same and to show that even the smallest gesture can help bring hope and strength to families going through their most challenging moments.

From Steel Frame to Landmark Building

September 23, 2025

From a 28.7 t steel frame to a completed landmark, this project highlights precise planning, Tekla modeling, and seamless on-site execution. Every beam, connection, and floor was carefully designed and assembled, resulting in a functional and visually striking mixed-use building set against a snowy alpine backdrop, showcasing engineering excellence and meticulous attention to every detail. The project demonstrates how careful coordination and expertise can turn complex designs into reality. It stands as a testament to teamwork, innovation, and the lasting impact of thoughtful and precise engineering practices.

The Productivity Secrets Every Engineer and Designer Should Know

September 18, 2025

At Cadeli, productivity isn’t about working harder, it’s about working smarter. From organized workspaces and dual monitors to noise-cancelling headphones, ergonomic setups, and strategic breaks, we create an environment where focus and efficiency thrive. Our approach helps engineers and designers deliver precise results faster while avoiding burnout, ensuring not only top-quality outcomes but also a healthier, more balanced and sustainable way of working together.

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.
