Move from old 2D way to the 3D World with Constructible BIM

Coordination errors, conflicting content in documents, inefficient communication & information transfer, clashes on-site and a lot of wastage & rework – these are just some of the typical outcomes of the old 2D way of construction!

Building information modeling (BIM) has been accepted, by our industry at large, as the solution to avoid these usual problems associated with 2D drawing based construction. However, when it comes to BIM or 3D model based design & construction, what qualifies as successful BIM implementation & usage? If the question is "What is BIM?", then constructibility should be a part of the answer. With Tekla software, constructibility is the core foundation.

Tekla Structures is the most advanced, Constructible BIM software in the market. Tekla’s constructible 3D model can be directly used for production of project deliverables. Information extracted from the model can help stakeholders make correct project decisions on account of its high accuracy. Also, with Tekla, you can now extend the use of the 3D model from the design office all the way up to the site for collaboration & smooth execution.

Constructible:
Tekla Structures provides 3D data-rich model that is so accurate that you can build from it. It helps achieve an LOD of 500, and this allows for unprecedented accuracy in quantity takeoffs, scheduling, cost estimates, and helps identify errors, clashes much before actual construction starts.

Connected:
By liberating data & breaking down silos, coordination & project management is improved at every touchpoint from design office to field. Each stakeholder has access to the most recent and updated data at all times preventing the disasters usually associated with poor change management. The Tekla model serves as the single source of truth connecting the entire design, build & operate chain.

Content-enabled:
With its super-rich content library, Tekla Structures provides for numerous popular, custom as well as local components, across material types and complexities.
