Forge & Fern Design
Practical Steel Design & Drafting for Fabricators Who Need It Done Right the First Time.
We provide structural steel modeling, design support, and shop drawings for fabrication shops and contractors who need reliable drafting capacity.
With hands-on fabrication experience and years of structural design and project coordination, our drawings are created with real-world buildability in mind.
About Us
Great steel design doesn’t happen in isolation. It requires an understanding of fabrication, coordination with other disciplines, and clear communication throughout the life of a project.Our drafting and design services are built on experience from both sides of the industry — hands-on steel fabrication and years of structural design and project leadership. That combination allows us to produce drawings and models that are not only technically accurate, but practical for fabrication and installation.Having worked extensively with engineers across multiple disciplines, we understand how mechanical systems, electrical infrastructure, and other building components interact with structural steel. This broader perspective allows us to identify coordination challenges early and develop solutions that support the success of the entire project, not just one scope of work. Our drawings are developed with fabrication and installation in mind, helping reduce shop questions, field conflicts, and costly rework.Beyond drafting, we bring strong project coordination experience. We are comfortable working directly with engineers, contractors, and fabrication teams to ensure that design intent, fabrication requirements, and project timelines stay aligned. Our goal is to help keep projects moving smoothly from concept through fabrication.Communication is a core part of how we work. Clients can expect clear updates, professional collaboration, and reliable follow-through throughout the project. You won’t be left wondering about the status of your drawings or the next steps in the process.At the end of the day, our focus is simple: helping our clients succeed. When your project runs smoothly, your shop stays productive, and your team can trust the information they receive, everyone benefits.Your success is our success.
