Paden Engineering and Detailing, LLC is the brainchild of Dennis K Schulz, a professional engineer with over 4 decades of experience in the steel industry. In fact, he has consulted for several technical organizations on the development of steel detailing software, supplying him an inside edge into the world of engineering not acquired by many. After building successful steel fabricating firms in the Midwest, he has expanded his reach into the Florida construction arena, bringing not only his knowledge, but that of his professionally developed team with him. Together, the Paden Engineering and Detailing firm brings more than 100 years of experience to the area.

In addition to professional detailing services, the PE&D team also has extensive, and valuable experience in all phases of the steel project process.
