Discover why our customers trust Kennebec Valley Detailers to handle all of their steel detailing needs

Orange County Ironworks, LLC has been working with Kennebec Valley Detailers for over 18 years on a large variety of projects ranging from new construction, renovation, industrial, and miscellaneous metals.  In this day and age, most detailing firms deal with the same handful of detailing software systems, but it is my belief it’s the people behind that software which make the difference. Larry and his team have a remarkable work ethic and understanding of what it takes to make a project successful. This allows us the confidence to take on projects with aggressive scheduling and in-depth coordination requirements. Their versatility is also a tool for us. In the past we were using three specialized detailing firms to get the same product we get from KVD. This allows for seamless overlays / coordination which helps free up our project management team to say focused on other tasks.

This correspondence is provided as testimony to the outstanding services received from KVD. Having not heard about their capabilities we engaged the services of another detailing outfit for a very important client of ours. The project was over 50,000SF with parking on the roof. The project schedule was extremely aggressive. The original detailing company continued to ask questions over a month’s period and would not begin the drawings. Frustrated, we were lucky enough to find KVD. Given the same set of drawings as the original detailer they proceeded to detail the entire job in less than 2 weeks, with only a handful of questions.

Their work was impeccable as the steel has been erected with no problems. They saved my “skin.” As a professional engineer, I appreciated the accuracy and speed of their services.

I would highly recommend them and look forward to a long relationship with our future work.

Kennebec Valley Detailers (KVD) consistently delivers high quality structural steel detailing that sets them apart from many firms in the industry. Their drawings are clear, accurate, and well-coordinated, which significantly reduces the back and forth typically associated with steel detailing and engineering review.

From an engineering standpoint, they are one of our preferred detailers to work with. Their staff has a strong technical knowledge base and a clear baseline understanding of structural behavior, connections, and constructability. This results in smoother coordination, fewer revisions, and a more efficient path from design through fabrication.

We highly recommend KVD to teams looking for reliable, technically strong, and professional steel detailing services.

Kennebec Valley Detailers’ communication style is key to making them a reliable steel detailing resource. Their ability to directly and professionally coordinate with not only the fabricators but also the construction manager and design team makes their detailing process fluid and on point. A great experience!

KVD took the time to understand our specific requirements and was always responsive to our questions and concerns.
