Building Information Modeling
Tekla Structures is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) solution that streamlines project delivery for engineers, contractors, detailers, fabricators, and erectors. Tekla Structures allows us to create a complete 3-D digital model that simulates a real world structure. Using this 3-D model, we are able to produce accurate 2-D drawings for construction. We analyze the entire structural design and engineering process from start to finish. Our value-added services also include the development of customized library components specific for each customer and the creation of CNC data for automation.
