The workforce is comprised of 8 full time steel detailers, 2 managers (Rotenberg family), 4 part time software developers. All 8 steel detailers gained extensive experience by completing hundreds of projects in SD office.
For many years SD office employs software developers to develop specific add-ons and plugins according to our needs. This is why we do better work with 5 times less mouse clicks, compared to our competition.
With 120-140 projects completed each year, we possess unmatched extensive experience in steel detailing. Over the years we encountered every possible challenge and we already developed the right tools to overcome every obstacle to efficient work.
MANAGEMENT
SD Office is under the management of Gena and Sasha
Rotenberg. Gena has Double B.Sc. from the Civil Engineering and from
the Mechanical Engineering faculties in the Technion (a word
leading, best in Israel technical institute). Prior to Establishing
SD office, Gena worked as a Head Engineer in a large steel
structures manufacturer. Sasha has Double B.Sc. from the Industrial
Engineering and Economics faculty in the Technion. Prior to
establishing SD Office, Sasha worked as a project manager in
high-tech companies and as a software developer.
HISTORY
In his work as Head engineer, Gena gained extensive
experience in constructing steel buildings. During 2013, Gena and
Sasha co-founded SD Office us a family business. Since then we are
focused on our strong sides: persistent software development, no
compromise on quality and constant improvement to reduce mouse
clicks. We began with 3 employed steel detailers in 2013 and
developed our team slowly and steadily. Today we provide services to
dozens of steel structure workshops and manufacturers; from small
projects like elevator shafts and staircases, to large projects like
bridges, roofs and full structures.
PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE TOOLS
From 2013 we emphasize software development. If we see
that it can be programmed, we do it. If it saves a little manual
work; if it saves a lot of manual work; if it is impossible with
working manually: we are always willing to invest countless hours of
programming to make that manual labor disappear forever so that we
will never have to repeat it. We put it as a goal that if the
computer can do it instead of the detailer, the computer will do it.
This is how we got a very large number of software plugins and
add-ons that only we have. None of the tools we created exists
outside of our office. Even today we work with 4 highly specialized
software developers who simplify our work and save us clicks.
AVAILABILITY
High labor efficiency results in a short work day and
unoccupied steel detailers. Usually 2-4 of SD Office detailers are
unoccupied. Detailers workday is flexible. If there is no immediate
work, detailers work only 6 hours. If there is urgent work,
detailers work up to 12 hours. In a large and urgent project,
sometimes up to 5 steel detailers collaborate and deliver within a
day or two. A client that refers work to us, does not wait in the
job queue. Once a proposal is approved, the work begins on the
following morning with no delay. it does not matter if the project
is a staircase or a large structure.
