Who We Are

An engineering team that thinks like a fabricator.

We're the drafting and engineering shop behind PEMB manufacturers, general contractors and steel suppliers. The partner you hand a package to and get back drawings your floor can build.

Our Approach

Precision on the drawing, accountability in the field.

CADLIONS exists to take engineering and detailing off your plate without adding risk. Our team runs structural analysis, MEP coordination, steel detailing and connection design in-house, so a single package moves through one accountable group instead of a chain of subcontractors.

We build in the same platforms your shop and erectors already use, hold to AISC and IBC standards, and back connection work with licensed PE review. The result: submittals that clear plan review, drawings that fabricate clean, and steel that goes up without the field calling you at 6 a.m.

Mission

Why we're here

To accelerate how the built world is designed and delivered through precision-driven CAD, BIM and engineering, giving fabricators and builders the accuracy, speed and confidence to win more work and build it right.

Vision

Where we're headed

To be the AEC partner fabricators and GCs name first, known for design and drawings that never slow a shop down and coordination that keeps a project moving from first sketch to standing steel.

What We Stand On

Six things our clients can count on.

01

Buildability First

Every drawing is judged by one test: can your shop floor and erectors build straight from it? Design intent means nothing if it can't be fabricated.

02

Deadlines Are the Deliverable

A perfect drawing that misses the bid date is a failure. We staff and plan around your submittal windows, not our convenience.

03

Integrity & Confidentiality

Your designs, clients and pricing stay yours. We work as a discreet extension of your team and protect your IP as if it were our own.

04

Coordinate Before the Field

We clash-check across structural and MEP in the model, so the problems get solved on-screen instead of on-site.

05

Long-Term Partnership

We're built for repeat work, learning your standards, templates and preferences so each job runs faster than the last.

06

Licensed & Accountable

Connection design and stamping are backed by licensed Professional Engineers across multiple states. Real seals, real responsibility.

How We Work

From your package to standing steel.

Scope & Quote

Send drawings, an RFP or a napkin sketch. We confirm scope, flag risks and return a realistic turnaround and price, fast.

Model & Detail

We build the model, design connections and produce the set in your platform, checking against AISC/IBC as we go.

Coordinate & Review

Internal QC, clash detection and PE review. You get a submittal-ready package with revisions turned quickly.

Fabricate & Support

We stay on through fabrication and erection, resolving RFIs and field fits so nothing stalls the shop or the crew.

How We Engage

Three ways to put our team to work.

Whether it's one bid or a year of steady volume, there's a model that fits how you run your shop.

Project by Project

One package at a time

Send a job, get a fixed quote and a delivery date, and we hand back a submittal-ready package. No commitment beyond the project in front of you.

Best for: one-off bids & overflow work
Dedicated Team

A team that only runs your jobs

A trained crew that learns your standards, templates and preferences and scales with your pipeline. An in-house department without the overhead.

Best for: steady, repeat volume
Surge Support

Capacity when you're slammed

Spin up extra hands the moment a deadline is at risk. We absorb the peak so you never turn down work or blow a submittal date.

Best for: deadline crunches & seasonal peaks
