We offer end-to-end BIM coordination services using Tekla Structures to ensure your structural steel model is fully clash-free, constructible, and aligned with architectural, MEP, and civil disciplines. Our process combines model validation, clash detection, and issue resolution within a common data environment—helping teams collaborate in real-time. From managing coordination meetings to integrating model updates and RFIs, we ensure that the Tekla model remains the single source of truth. With accurate model-based coordination, we reduce onsite rework, improve project sequencing, and streamline approvals—delivering a smarter, more synchronized construction workflow.
Tekla BIM Coordination is the process of aligning your structural steel model with architectural, MEP, and civil models in a common 3D environment—ensuring that every beam, pipe, duct, and slab integrates without clashes or constructability issues. Using Tekla Structures and open BIM workflows (like IFC, BCF, and Trimble Connect), coordination becomes proactive rather than reactive—catching conflicts early and resolving them before they reach the site.
Our coordination process goes beyond simple clash detection. We validate design intent, identify sequencing issues, optimize penetrations, and flag inconsistencies in layout or levels—all within the federated BIM model. Every coordination issue is documented, tracked, and updated in a centralized platform, helping architects, engineers, detailers, and contractors collaborate in real-time.
By embedding coordination intelligence directly into the Tekla model, your drawings, shop tickets, and erection plans automatically reflect the latest, conflict-free design. This ensures less rework, fewer RFIs, and greater confidence during fabrication and installation. With Tekla BIM Coordination, your steel package becomes more predictable, aligned, and ready to be built without surprises.
Whether you're delivering an industrial plant, high-rise tower, or infrastructure project, our Tekla BIM coordination services ensure structural steel fits seamlessly within the bigger picture—bridging the gap between disciplines and delivering efficiency at every stage.
We deliver constructible, model-driven BIM coordination within Tekla Structures—ensuring your structural steel model aligns seamlessly with architectural, MEP, and civil elements. Our Tekla BIM coordination workflows are tailored for structural detailers, engineers, BIM managers, general contractors, and fabricators who require reliable, clash-free integration across trades. Whether you're working on a high-rise, industrial plant, or infrastructure project, our services ensure every steel element fits within the broader construction puzzle—accurately, efficiently, and with full accountability.
We coordinate structural steel models within a federated BIM environment using open formats such as IFC, BCF, and RVT links. Our Tekla models are checked against architectural and MEP models for spatial consistency, clash-free detailing, and logical build sequencing. We resolve hard and soft clashes, misalignments, and access issues while ensuring grid consistency, datum alignment, and tolerance clearance. This process significantly reduces construction-phase conflicts and improves interdisciplinary collaboration.
Our coordinated models support phase-based construction logic. We organize views, GA drawings, and model subsets by zone, level, or erection sequence—enabling site teams to plan material delivery, track progress, and execute safely. Coordination packages are delivered with reference grids, levels, and elevation notations, clearly identifying how steel integrates with slabs, cores, penetrations, and façade systems.
All coordinated updates flow directly into GA drawings, shop drawings, and part marks. Our Tekla-to-drawing integration ensures consistent documentation that reflects the latest coordinated geometry, tags, and connection logic. Deliverables are exported in PDF, DWG, DGN, and IFC formats—ready for use in BIM 360, ACC, or Navisworks environments. This means fewer RFIs, clearer field instructions, and smoother execution.
We work with your project’s coordination platform—whether it's Autodesk Construction Cloud, Navisworks, Trimble Connect, or other CDEs. Our Tekla outputs are synced for clash review, constructability checks, and issue tracking using tools like BCF, BIM Track, or Revizto. Coordination data is shared transparently, with every clash, annotation, and revision logged and traceable.
Our deliverables follow your BIM execution plan (BEP), naming conventions, layering protocols, and client-specific documentation standards. Whether you’re using ISO 19650-compliant workflows or a proprietary CDE structure, we adapt Tekla outputs to meet your project and client requirements—ensuring consistency and traceability across packages.
When changes occur in other models, we update Tekla steel models in real-time and flag affected elements with color-coded views, section cuts, and markup callouts. These updates automatically reflect in views, schedules, and drawings, minimizing manual coordination effort and turnaround delays.
From floor plans to erection sequences, every view is checked for site usability. We provide annotated coordination drawings with clear steel-to-architecture references, bracing alignment, opening coordination, and embed locations. These drawings support early procurement, pre-assembly strategies, and permit submittals—improving project predictability.
Whether you need coordination for a single stair tower or a multi-zone mega structure, our Tekla BIM coordination services scale with your project’s scope. We use rule-based checking, smart filtering, and automated clash reports to handle thousands of elements with precision—freeing your in-house teams to focus on design and approvals.
Our Tekla BIM coordination workflows deliver more than visual integration—they ensure buildability. By resolving clashes early, aligning levels and penetrations, and coordinating connections in context, we help you reduce rework, minimize RFIs, and accelerate approvals. The result: a cleaner model, a clearer site, and a smarter build process.

Tekla BIM Coordination involves integrating and aligning structural steel models with architectural, MEP, and civil models within a shared BIM environment. The goal is to ensure clash-free, constructible models that improve collaboration and reduce onsite conflicts.
We work with IFC, DWG, DGN, RVT (Revit links), and BCF formats for clash detection and model exchange. Our Tekla models are compatible with BIM 360, Navisworks, Trimble Connect, and other CDE platforms.
We use automated clash-checking tools and visual inspections to detect and resolve clashes between steel elements and other trades. Clash reports are shared using BCF or exported PDFs for easy tracking and resolution.
Yes. We routinely coordinate Tekla Structures models with Revit, Archicad, and other design platforms using IFC and DWG exchanges. Our workflows ensure smooth model interoperability across platforms.
Key benefits include reduced rework, improved constructability, faster issue resolution, enhanced interdisciplinary communication, and more accurate drawings and schedules aligned with the coordinated model.
Yes. We generate fully coordinated GA drawings, erection plans, and annotated 2D views directly from the updated Tekla model—ensuring that all documentation reflects the latest coordinated geometry.
All model updates are version-controlled. When changes occur, we revise the Tekla model and generate updated clash reports, drawings, and exports. Changes are clearly tracked and flagged for your review.
Absolutely. We align with your BEP, naming conventions, layering standards, and documentation protocols to ensure our deliverables integrate smoothly into your project workflows.
We support a wide range of projects, including industrial facilities, commercial buildings, infrastructure, airports, and mixed-use developments. Our services scale from single components to large, multi-trade models.
You can share your existing models, coordination requirements, BEP, and reference documents. We’ll review your project needs and provide a proposal with timelines, scope, and coordination milestones.
We usually respond within 24 hours.
