A Message from the President
Jean-Paul Philippon is the founder and President of JP Drafting. He has been fabricating structural steel since 1972, and understands the business from the inside out.
About 20 years ago, I saw what could be done by computerizing and became one of the first companies to adopt CAD for structural steel detailing. Eventually I adopted XSteel - a custom CAD program developed specifically for structural and ornamental steel, which has become an industry standard.
I saw how I could provide increased speed of delivery, with a higher degree of accuracy, all at a price that was very competitive. If I deliver a superior product: accurate and detailed drawings, then the fabricators and erectors will be in a better position to be competitive.
The Drafting Team
Lucien Philippon is the Senior Steel Detailer and heads the team of drafting professionals that provide your detailed drawings. Lou has a background in metal fabrication, which is invaluable in his quest to provide first class drawings and in troubleshooting situations where the project designers may not have considered the practical aspects of their designs.
In addition to coordinating the projects within the company, Lou liaises with architects, engineers, fabricators and erectors to ensure that the projects come in on-time and on-budget. His extensive experience in the field allows him to provide common sense solutions to real-world problems.
All projects must meet with Lous strict guidelines of quality and workmanship. He is hands-on with the drafting and keeps his skills sharp through daily application.
JP Drafting is an Equal Opportunity Employer
The high quality work at JP Drafting comes from its people, not the computers. Each person has their strengths, and when combined in correct proportions, the end result is a team that works cohesively to deliver the best possible product.
These fine people come from a wide variety of backgrounds and situations, and each brings a unique quality to the company. Many have had practical experience in related fields such as welding, erecting and metal fabrication which gives them a real world appreciation for providing high quality drawings. At JP Drafting they have the latitude to express their creativity and expertise which make their jobs fulfilling, and best of all, that translates into high quality workmanship for their clients.
