Buy American

LVTA is a 100% American Detailer. All work is detailed and checked with U.S. citizens on U.S. soil in eastern Pennsylvania; we do not broker or outsource our detailing services overseas. We are always available by phone or email during U.S. Eastern time zone business hours with no inconvenient time-zone constraints, resulting in expedited construction processes and timelines. We are approved to work on Federal Government "U.S. Citizen Only" required projects.

Don't Settle

You don't have to settle with the frustration, schedule impact, and hidden cost of an inexperienced and underqualified detailer on your project. Established in 1993, LVTA has been detailing for over 30 years and utilizing Tekla Structures for over 25 years. We continue to be one of the largest domestic users of Tekla Structures, with around 40 software licenses, so you can rest assured that we can succeed on the largest and most complex projects.

Commitment to Quality

We are committed to using qualified people and ensuring that all drawings are checked by an experienced checker before being released. Our staff averages over 15 years of Tekla detailing experience, and we are proud to have National Institute of Steel Detailing's NISD-certified project managers on our team, certifying the breadth and depth of knowledge in all aspects of the detailing process.

Experience Matters

Just about anyone can learn to use a software platform, but the software won't tell you what information the shop needs, what is more economical, or if it can be erected. Nor does the software have the fabricator's best interest in mind. It takes experience and skill to detail a structure with your success as a priority. Let us show you how our expertise and experience can help your projects succeed.

Matt Scholz Crescent Iron Works

I have worked with various steel detailing companies in the last 30 years, but working with you topped them all. Your assistance and participation in resolving BIM meeting steel clash conflicts, prompt detailing of drawing turnaround times, and the thoroughness of final documents for fabrication without error. The quality of your work made a difficult project work out smoothly for me.

Bob Project Manager for CMI

Have been working with LVTA for 10+ years. Staff members assigned to our projects are always cordial, professional and easily reached by phone or email. The work provided is consistently of the highest quality and accuracy regardless of the individual assigned. It's as though their staff works at our company rather than for our company. Their in-house coordination of Detailing and P.E. Services is also a huge plus.
