Upon completion of the schematic design studies, the architect and structural engineer proceed with design development and contract documents for the project. The structural engineer is primarily responsible for engineering of the structural steel frame and development of the detailed structural contract documents. The structural documents include foundation plans and details, structural floor framing plans，roof framing plans，column schedules, structural details, structural notes，and design loads，as well as the structural specifications.
