The Crown jewel in the Dowco Group, Dowco Consultants Ltd is the leading Steel Detailing Company in North America and is among the largest fully automated steel detailing companies in the world. With a proven track record of exceptional detailing quality, Dowco’s professional solutions are unrestricted by geographical boundaries serving regional, national and international markets.
Historically, Dowco has worked primarily with companies, contractors, engineers and fabricators in North America.Several years ago recognizing that globalization of our industry was underway, plans were put in motion to establish the company as a global service provider of specialized engineering/detailing services as well as specialists in advanced fabrication coordination / management technologies.The establishment of DowcoMax Services,(2005) our Kolkata, India based operation has enabled us to now offer a ‘blended rate’ scenario which ensures we remain competitive in the increasingly globalized world, but also guarantees we maintain the highest quality of work that customers have come to expect from Dowco.
Our global IT infrastructure (and also web and video conferencing tools) enables virtual collaboration with project team(s) and also between all of our offices resulting in both time compression, and a ‘blended rate’ equation.
Dowco Consultants Ltd, is also one of Tekla's largest global customers.Also a Tekla software reseller of 15 years, Dowco Consultants, Ltd. established Dowco Technology Services Ltd in 2007 to continue its operations in the sales and marketing of Tekla's complete product portfolio for building and construction.This was a result of the growth of 3D modelling technologies applied earlier on by Steel Detailers and Fabricators now known as Building Information Modeling (BIM).This new way of working has recently become increasingly popular among Engineering, Precast/Reinforced Concrete Manufacturers and lately Contractors or Construction companies.
The new company, headquartered in our Surrey BC office, also has staff in Montreal, to serve Quebec customers, and also in Mississauga, to serve the Ontario and Maritime markets.
The latest addition to the Dowco Group, FabTrol Systems Inc, and FabTrol UK Inc now brings the Group one step closer to becoming a major global provider of comprehensive services-now ranging from engineering to detailing to fabrication management.
FabTrol Systems, Inc. has been the leading supplier of steel fabrication management software since 1984. The software (now called Fabtrol MRP) is trusted by more than 1,200 steel companies in more than 12 countries (primarily US and Canada) with customers ranging from the small welding shop to the largest and well known construction companies in the world.
The Dowco Group’s acquisition of FabTrol Systems offers the Group the ability to further enhance and build the Dowco brand.Since the acquisition, a newly established Global Reseller Model has been developed and implemented in the Middle East, UK, India and South Africa.
