More than detailing software 

Tekla has been providing steel detailers and fabricators with industry-leading software for nearly 20 years. Tekla Structures is the most advanced Building Information Modeling (BIM) software on the market. It streamlines the entire workflow from sales, bidding, cost estimation, and conceptual design to detailing, fabrication, erection, and follow-up. Tekla Structures not only increases productivity in each phase, but also enhances the entire building value chain. 

Tekla Structures workflow for Steel

Innovative technology

The structural steel industry is facing more challenges due to shorter lead times, lack of complete information, problems in revision handling, and a wider need to collaborate with other disciplines. Tekla Structures enables the most data-rich, highly constructable 3D and 4D structural building information models, and is a significant contrast to current document-based platforms where drawings and reports are distributed and reworked among different organizations.

Key benefits of Tekla Structures for the steel industry include

  • Winning more tenders through accurate estimation
  • Effective, high-quality detailing
  • Integration downstream and upstream
  • Easy project follow-up

Integration with other systems

Tekla Structures software integrates with other systems such as production and resource planning systems and CNC machines. Such collaboration allows all project participants to access project information in real-time.
