Did you know these Qnect facts? 

Now you do! People new to Qnect or have not visited Qnect recently often ask the same questions. We took the most asked to create this "Did You Know" section. 

We will share a new "Did You Know" every Tuesday and Thursday during the summer.

Keep asking questions! We have form below for you to use to get your questions directly to us.

Thanks!


 

DYK 01

Did you know that...

...Qnect’s software combines both connection engineering and detailing extraordinarily fast with the following deliverable?

  • Analytics- mining data for best decision making

Learn more by visiting our Analytics Webinar Review blog post.

DYK-02

Did you know that...

...Qnect’s software combines both connection engineering and detailing extraordinarily fast with the following deliverable?

  • Estimating- helping clients refine their estimate with accurate designed joint information

We hosted a webinar on this topic, which can be viewed here:

DYK 03

Did you know that...

...Qnect’s software combines both connection engineering and detailing extraordinarily fast with the following deliverables?

  • Preventing schedule drift- 60% to 80% of the joints in your project engineered and detailed in hours and revisions in seconds per joints

Learn more by visiting our Schedule Drift Webinar Review blog post.

DYK 04

Did you know that...

...Qnect’s software combines both connection engineering and detailing extraordinarily fast with the following deliverables?

  • One station fabrication- we maximize the number of pieces that go to one station vs two stations within client’s parameters, either all welded or all bolted

Learn more by visiting our 3 Significant Steps to Improve Fabrication Production Webinar Review where you will find details.

DYK 05

Did you know that...

...Qnect’s software combines both connection engineering and detailing extraordinarily fast with the following deliverable?

  • Reduce time to fabricate and erect - optimizing each joint with typical results of bolt reduction of 1 to 1 ½ bolts/ton; and 2 to 3 fewer holes to drill, cut or punch/ton.
DYK 06

Did you know that...

...Qnect’s software combines both connection engineering and detailing extraordinarily fast with the following deliverable?

  • We do it for your detailer for the first two jobs to make the transition seamless
DYK 07

Did you know that...

...Qnect can and does provide for many clients 100% of the connection engineering? 

So we will carry the full CE contract and our CE partner will PE stamp Qnect’s part and finish the job standards Qnect did not do in the conventional manner and stamp those for a complete PE package delivery.

DYK 08

Did you know that...

...Qnect only charges $10/ton for all its deliverables?

This includes but is not limited to estimating, analytics, one station fabrication, optimization of joints, ALL REVISIONS.

DYK 09

Did you know that...

... Qnect does not charge for any revisions. 

It’s just part of the $10/ton price

DYK 10

Did you know that...

...Qnect can work with any special fabricators system; part marking, standard parts, profile naming etc.

DYK 11

Did you know that...

...Qnect designs for shear, shear and axial, IBC integrity requirements, the NYC integrity requirements, moment connections (field welded or top and bottom moment plates) and HSS field welded vertical bracing?

DYK 12

Did you know that...

..Qnect can provide connections for single angle bolted/bolted, welded/bolted and bolted/welded, double angles bolted/bolted, and welded/bolted, double angle knife connections, shear plates, extended shear plates with or without stabilizer plates at column web, extended shear plates at beam to beam connections, full pen moment connections, top and bottom moment connections, and standard roof slopes of up to ½ :12?

Wow! That's a lot!

See the full list here.

DYK 13

Did you know that...

...when two moment connected beams frame to both flanges of a WF column that the gravity part of the moment force for each moment can reduce or eliminate the doubler plate requirements?  They can, and Qnect allows for the placing of those gravity part moment forces in the UDA for this smart engineering purpose.

DYK 14

Did you know that...

...at top and bottom moment plates, that Qnect allows for the adding of a deck support plate, near side of beam flange, far side of beam flange or both sides of beam flange depending on the direction of the deck?Qnect - DYK 14

DYK 17

Did you know that...

...that the deck support plate at top and bottom moment plates can be tack welded for shipment, bolt to ship for shipment, or we can extend the deck plate beyond the moment plate and held down by two additional bolts?

Shop Bolt (2 extra bolts)
