CONSTRUCTIBLE STRUCTURAL BIM SOFTWARE
Tekla Structures
Constructible structural BIM for steel, concrete, precast and rebar.
Create, combine, manage and share accurate, information-rich 3D models that improve coordination, detailing, fabrication and construction outcomes. Tekla Structures helps teams work with greater clarity, fewer surprises and better control from early design through project delivery.
Why Tekla Structures?
Tekla Structures is built for teams who need models that do more than look good. It helps you produce accurate, buildable, information-rich models that support coordination, documentation, fabrication, planning and site delivery. Instead of working with disconnected files and repeated manual updates, you can work from a model that drives clearer communication and more dependable outcomes.
Constructible by design
Model with the level of detail needed to support real project decisions, better documentation and fewer costly surprises later.
Information that stays useful
Use model-based information for drawings, reports, schedules, coordination and downstream workflows.
Open and connected workflows
Share, link and exchange model data with other project parties, software tools and fabrication processes more effectively.
Multi-material flexibility
Work across steel, concrete, precast and reinforcement in one structural BIM environment.
Practical collaboration
Support teams across design, detailing, fabrication and construction with more reliable data and better alignment.
Tekla Structures for your workflow
Tekla Structures supports a wide range of structural workflows. Whether your work is driven by design, detailing, production, coordination or construction, the software helps you work with better information and less rework.
Tekla for steel detailing
Create constructible steel models, produce model-linked fabrication information, and support smoother coordination between detailing, fabrication and erection. Tekla Structures helps keep drawings, reports and production information aligned as projects change.
Tekla for rebar detailing
Detail reinforcement in 3D for projects of any scale or complexity, generate documentation directly from the model, and communicate reinforcement intent more clearly from office to site.
Tekla for precast
Reduce manufacturing surprises with accurate constructible models, better production information and clearer communication between detailing, production and installation teams.
Tekla for engineering offices
Work at the level of detail that suits each project stage, coordinate more effectively with other disciplines, and communicate design intent with greater confidence.
Tekla for concrete contractors
Model pours, reinforcement, embeds, temporary works and formwork with better visibility into quantities, sequencing and project status. Use richer project information to support planning, coordination and delivery.
Tekla for EPC, industrial and plant projects
Coordinate structural scope with plant and process design more effectively, reduce clashes and late changes, and explore alternatives virtually before work reaches site.
Connected workflows, not isolated models
Tekla Structures supports a practical, open approach to collaboration. Exchange information with other project parties, reference models, fabrication systems and connected construction tools more effectively.
Reliable interoperability helps teams reuse model data, reduce manual re-entry and keep the right information moving to the right people at the right time.
From office coordination to fabrication and site delivery, better data flow means fewer misunderstandings, faster decisions and more confidence in what gets built.
Reuse model data
Reduce manual re-entry and keep downstream teams aligned.
Support open collaboration
Share the right information with the right people at the right time.
Improve office-to-site confidence
Better data flow means faster decisions and fewer misunderstandings.
From concept to construction and beyond
Tekla Structures supports structural workflows across the full project lifecycle. Work at the level of detail that suits the project phase and your role, from early design and coordination through detailed modelling, documentation, fabrication support and construction delivery. The earlier a project is developed in Tekla Structures, the more value teams can unlock through clearer information, better coordination and more informed decisions.
