Cadlions Engineering

CADLIONS is an AEC company providing architecture, structural engineering, BIM coordination, steel and PEMB detailing, construction documentation, and construction support. We work with contractors, fabricators, manufacturers, engineering firms, and project teams to deliver coordinated solutions from design through construction. Our services include architectural design, structural engineering, connection and foundation design, steel detailing, BIM coordination, and project support.

The numbers CADLIONS publishes on its own home page: 15+ years of expertise, more than 2,000 projects delivered, over 100 clients served, and 250+ in-house professionals working out of Kodak, Tennessee.

Most of that headcount sits in production. The firm’s pitch is aimed squarely at steel fabricators, general contractors and engineering firms who need drawings and calculations faster than they can hire for. Work runs in Tekla Structures, Revit and AutoCAD, with CNC/DSTV output going straight to the shop floor, and detailing is done to AISC standards so packages drop into an existing workflow without translation. Every package goes through a staged check: the detailer models it, a senior checker reviews it against design intent and AISC/IBC, connection work goes to licensed PE review, and clashes are caught in the model rather than in the field.

One point the company is careful about, and it is worth reading before engaging: CADLIONS LLC provides design production, drafting, detailing and project coordination. Professional engineering and architectural services, including review, sealing and stamping, are performed by independently licensed professionals engaged for each project and licensed in that project’s jurisdiction. The company does not seal or certify documents under its own authority. PE stamping is available across all states through those engaged professionals.

Engagement comes in three shapes. Continuous flow brings CADLIONS in at the bid stage for estimating, then carries the same team through to shop drawings once the job is awarded. A dedicated team is a named crew that works inside the client’s own standards and platforms across every stage, including full structural, detailing and sheeting support for PEMB work. Surge support adds experienced hands for a crunch without a long-term commitment.

Design and detailing is offered nationwide; fabricated steel is delivered in Tennessee, South Carolina and North Carolina. Pricing is quoted three ways after a scope review, fixed price per project, hourly, or a monthly rate for a dedicated team, and quoting carries no obligation. The firm works under NDA as standard and carries general and professional liability insurance. Business hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm Eastern, with rush and weekend work by arrangement.
