We deliver clash-free and constructible Tekla project files (.db1) that form the backbone of your steel project. Every structural element—columns, beams, braces, stairs, ladders, platforms, and trusses—is modeled with precise geometry and fabrication-ready detail. All connections are coordinated to ensure constructability and compliance with U.S. standards such as AISC and AWS. These .db1 models provide the foundation for shop drawings, erection plans, and CNC generation, while also supporting BIM coordination with architects, engineers, and MEP teams. Our carefully validated models ensure that what you see digitally is exactly what gets built in the field.

We structure Tekla models for real-world constructability by grouping components into assemblies and erection phases. Each assembly is tagged with part marks, erection marks, bolt groups, and sequencing information to align with your project’s installation strategy. This enables field crews to visualize each step of erection, anticipate challenges, and improve safety compliance. Our phased erection models help contractors plan lifts, manage logistics, and sequence steel deliveries more efficiently—reducing RFIs and ensuring smooth communication between the shop and the site.

Connections are the heart of steel detailing, and our deliverables include precise modeling of all major joints. We cover end plates, base plates, gusset plates, stiffeners, clip angles, shear and moment connections, slotted holes, and more. Where required, we create custom macros tailored to your engineer’s designs or fabricator’s standards, ensuring accuracy and adaptability. Tekla’s intelligent components allow these connections to automatically update with geometry changes, maintaining consistency across the model. This results in fewer manual revisions, faster QA/QC reviews, and connection deliverables that are directly usable in fabrication and erection.

Our Tekla deliverables are designed for seamless integration across platforms. We generate clean and standards-compliant exports in IFC, DWG, DXF, and PDF formats—each one validated to retain the accuracy of the steel detailing. IFC exports allow coordination with BIM platforms such as Navisworks, Revit, and Autodesk Construction Cloud. DWG/DXF exports ensure compatibility with drafting workflows, while PDFs provide a universally accessible format for client reviews and approvals. By delivering multiple formats, we guarantee that your Tekla models integrate smoothly into every aspect of your project ecosystem.

Every deliverable is thoroughly checked for clashes, constructability, and compliance before release. We run model-based clash detection to identify conflicts with architectural and MEP systems early, avoiding costly site issues. Each Tekla deliverable is reviewed against AISC and AWS guidelines, fabricator standards, and project-specific requirements. This rigorous QA/QC process ensures our outputs are not only accurate on paper but also feasible in the field. By minimizing rework, reducing delays, and improving buildability, our clash-free deliverables save both time and cost on your project.

To support automated fabrication, we generate CNC and DSTV (NC1) files directly from the Tekla model. These machine-ready outputs are formatted to integrate seamlessly with shop-floor equipment, including automated cutting, drilling, and welding machines. By eliminating manual data entry and reducing setup time, our CNC deliverables enable faster fabrication, higher accuracy, and reduced production costs. Every CNC file is tested to ensure alignment with your fabricator’s requirements, making our deliverables practical and reliable for real-world manufacturing environments.
