The demand though is picking has a long way to go when compared with other developing markets.

Steel forms like Built up sections, tubular frames, Light Gauge Steel are being introduced in the Indian market and will see a wider usage in the years to come. This opens up and widens the need for a professional steel detailing and designing in India. With a continued focus on the evolving technological procedures, standards, applications and ability to customize solutions with emphasis on design optimization maintaining the safety and Quality standards is a MUST in design Designing and Detailing of steel structures.

Steel is the costliest item in the process which has our adequate focus for the design consistency. The price of steel has doubled in the past year which gives us all the more reason for critically defining its cost utility with relation to its contribution in project. Finally, apart for the standardized software's used in steel structure designing, Infiniti solutions has its own set of unique software solutions that work on automation of these shop-drawings. Every new learning becomes an upgrade for Infiniti steel."
