        "text": "The structural steel phase moves through shop drawings, fabrication, delivery, and erection. First, a detailer produces fabrication shop drawings from engineering plans, which the structural engineer reviews. Once approved, the fabricator cuts, drills, and prepares the steel members off-site. On-site preparation requires cured concrete foundations with accurately placed anchor bolts. When the steel arrives, a crane lifts columns and beams into place so crews can bolt or weld connections. Site access and foundation readiness are the most critical factors influencing this schedule.",
