| Fabrication shops and engineering firms all over the world rely on Dowco Consultants Ltd. for pre-detailing, detailing, 3D modeling and connection design services. Founder Hugh Dobbie attributes the company's success largely to an ability to recognize change and to embrace new processes and technologies early. Dowco was one of the first detailing companies to embrace computer aided drafting technology and today is the largest fully-automated steel detailing company in the world. |
|
| Another factor in Dowco's success is a strong commitment to quality. Dowco received ISO 9001 certification in 1998. The quality management details specific standards and policies designed to ensure that the company meets or exceeds customer expectations. The system is maintained by the VP of Quality Management and is available on the company intranet for easy access. |

|
| All Dowco offices are fully computerized, with each detailer operating the latest computer hardware and Tekla Structures 3D modeling software. A dedicated IT team provides technical support, sources hardware and software, and maintains and designs database systems. |
|
| After 11 years as the Canadian reseller of the Tekla Structures product portfolio, the Dowco group established a new company, Dowco Technology Services, to handle Tekla sales and technical support. The new company, headquartered in the greater Vancouver area, also has an office in Montreal, to serve Quebec customers, and in Mississauga, to serve the Ontario market. These offices provide sales, technical support and product training. |
