What Is TGC Consulting?

TGC Consulting is a full-service steel detailing firm based in Canada that produces fabrication and installation drawings for structural and miscellaneous steel, built with 3D Tekla software. It is the right fit if your project involves non-standard or difficult detailing — complex stairs, handrails, hoppers, chutes, plate work, or rail systems — and you need technical documentation that supports both fabrication and erection. If you are looking for a general-purpose drafting shop or a fabricator that also details, this is a different kind of service.

What TGC Consulting does

The company describes itself as a full-service detail firm providing technical support for the fabrication and installation of steel across North America. Its output is drawings and documentation rather than fabricated steel itself.

Its stated scope covers:

• Structural steel detailing
• Miscellaneous metals
• Hoppers and chutes
• Plate work
• Stairs and rail systems

The firm positions itself around the difficult, non-standard work rather than high-volume routine detailing. Its own framing is "We love a challenge" — it asks to be called when a project involves complicated structures or architectural requirements.

How it works

TGC describes handling all of a project's technical details and documentation, with the goal of streamlining the construction process for everyone involved. In practice that means the deliverable is a coordinated drawing package that fabricators and installers can build from.

A distinctive part of its stated process is checking — and it lists what gets checked:

• Codes
• Content
• Materials
• Availability
• Shipping
• Erectability
• Errors on customer drawings
• Its own drawings

The stated aim is to identify problems before they occur, which is the value proposition of detailing done early and thoroughly: clashes, missing information, and buildability issues get caught on paper instead of in the shop or on site.

Software and workflows

TGC states significant experience with modern construction workflows using:

The company says it is continuously improving its processes and adopting technology to save clients time and money, and it states it can work with whatever technologies a client already uses.

Where it has worked

The site lists recent and past projects including:

• Calgary, AB — Mount Royal University
• Calgary, AB — Westbrook LRT
• Seattle, WA — Facebook
• Calgary, AB — Inland Spy Hill
• Seattle, WA — SeaTac Car Rental Facility

The geographic spread — Alberta and Washington State — matches the stated North America coverage.

When to choose TGC Consulting

TGC is a reasonable fit when:

• Your project has complicated geometry or architectural requirements that standard detailing templates do not handle well.
• You need miscellaneous metals, stairs, handrails, hoppers, chutes, or plate work detailed, not just structural framing.
• You want a detailer who will check your drawings and flag errors, not just convert them.
• You are fabricating or installing in North America and need drawings that account for shipping and erectability.

It is likely not the right fit if you need fabrication itself, or if your work is routine enough that a lower-cost drafting resource would do.

Practical next step

The site's navigation includes Services, Projects, Current Projects, Sample Drawings, and Project History, plus a Contact page. If you are evaluating the firm for a specific job, the sample drawings and project history are the fastest way to judge whether its detailing style and complexity level match your work — then use the contact page to describe the project and confirm scope, schedule, and terms directly, since none of those are published on the site.
