We provide highly accurate 3D steel modeling, detailed shop drawings, and precise connection design using Tekla Structures—empowering fabricators, structural engineers, and contractors to streamline workflows, reduce errors, and deliver projects with greater speed and confidence.
At Tekla Steel Detailing Services, we provide end-to-end structural steel detailing solutions powered by Tekla Structures, delivering fabrication-ready 3D models, shop drawings, and intelligent connection design for projects of all sizes and complexities.
With extensive experience in structural steel modeling and a deep understanding of fabrication and construction workflows, our team supports fabricators, engineers, contractors, and EPC firms across North America, the UK, Australia, and other global markets. Whether your project involves a commercial high-rise, a heavy industrial facility, a bridge, or a pre-engineered metal building (PEMB), we ensure your steel detailing is precise, constructible, and aligned with regional codes and standards.
Our steel detailing services are designed to support global fabricators, engineers, and contractors with precise Tekla-based 3D modeling, shop drawings, and connection design. As a trusted outsourcing partner, we help streamline structural workflows, minimize errors, and deliver constructible outputs on time.
We create data-rich, constructible 3D models of all structural steel components—including columns, beams, trusses, braces, stairs, ladders, and handrails—using Tekla Structures. Our models are built with precision to support fabrication, erection, and coordination workflows. Each element is embedded with accurate dimensions, material specifications, bolt and weld information, and connection details to ensure seamless integration with fabrication shops and site teams. Whether for structural framing, miscellaneous steel, or complex assemblies, our Tekla steel models drive efficiency, minimize errors, and deliver constructible clarity from design through installation.
We deliver clear, fabrication-ready shop drawings that include precise dimensions, bolt and weld details, material specifications, and connection callouts—fully aligned with project codes and standards. Each drawing is generated directly from the Tekla model to ensure accuracy and consistency across fabrication and assembly. Our deliverables support CNC processing, material take-offs, cutting lists, and assembly instructions, enabling fabricators to move quickly from model to machine with confidence. Whether you're fabricating beams, columns, trusses, stairs, or railings, our shop drawings are structured for ease of interpretation, minimal RFIs, and seamless coordination with production teams.
We produce precise plan, elevation, and section views in the form of General Arrangement (GA) drawings that clearly define the spatial placement and relationships of structural steel components. These drawings serve as a critical reference for site teams, engineers, and other trades—facilitating accurate installation, coordination, and verification during construction. Each GA drawing is extracted from the Tekla model to ensure dimensional accuracy, proper alignment with grid lines, and integration with architectural and MEP systems. From anchor bolt layouts to assembly sequences, our GA drawings improve site efficiency, reduce miscommunication, and support seamless trade collaboration across all project stages.
We provide detailed connection design support by modeling moment, shear, axial, and bracing connections based on structural engineering inputs and project-specific requirements. Our team interprets design intent, loading conditions, and member specifications to create intelligent, constructible connections within the Tekla environment. Whether you're working with bolted, welded, or hybrid connections, we ensure each joint is modeled with precision, complying with relevant codes such as AISC, CISC, Eurocode, or AS/NZS standards.
This support includes base plates, end plate connections, clip angles, gussets, stiffeners, and complex custom joints—complete with fabrication-level details such as bolt spacing, weld symbols, plate dimensions, and edge distances. Our connection modeling is backed by close coordination with your engineers, ensuring design compliance, structural integrity, and downstream constructability.
By integrating engineering calculations and Tekla modeling, we reduce coordination delays, minimize RFIs, and accelerate shop drawing generation—making our connection design support a vital part of efficient steel detailing workflows.
We integrate Tekla steel models with architectural, structural, and MEP models within a common BIM environment to ensure full spatial and system coordination. Our team runs clash detection workflows using Navisworks and other BIM tools to identify potential conflicts—such as duct penetrations, column clashes, or interference with piping—before they reach the fabrication or construction phase.
By collaborating closely with all design disciplines, we proactively resolve issues early, avoiding costly rework, delays, and RFIs on-site. This results in a well-coordinated, constructible model that supports smoother prefabrication, accurate installation, and enhanced project efficiency. Our BIM coordination services also align with project-specific BIM Execution Plans (BEP), LOD standards, and client collaboration platforms like BIM 360 or ACC.
We produce clear, precise erection drawings directly from coordinated Tekla models, detailing the exact placement, orientation, and assembly of structural steel components on-site. These drawings illustrate columns, beams, braces, connections, and assembly sequences with pinpoint accuracy—helping erection crews understand the build order and installation methodology with minimal confusion.
Our erection plans include plans, elevations, and 3D views that highlight bolt positions, field welds, part markings, and crane pick points. By aligning with the construction sequence and site logistics, we ensure smoother steel installation, reduced site errors, and fewer project delays. Each drawing is developed with constructability, safety, and coordination in mind, fully supporting field teams and project managers through every phase of erection.
