Our Tekla BIM Coordination Services
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.
01
Model-Federated, Clash-Resolved Workflows
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.
02
Construction Sequencing & Zone-Based Coordination
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.
03
BIM-Integrated Drawing Outputs
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.
04
Compatibility with Your BIM Ecosystem
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.
05
Adaptable to Standards, Templates & Protocols
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.
06
Real-Time Issue Tracking & Model Revisions
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.
07
Detail-Driven, Field-Ready Outputs
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.
08
Scalable Support Across Project Sizes
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.
09
Build Smarter, Clash-Free
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.
Deliverables You Receive – Tekla BIM Coordination Services
Our Tekla BIM coordination services are designed to create a single, clash-free, and fully coordinated 3D model environment that connects architects, structural engineers, MEP designers, fabricators, and contractors. Every deliverable is developed from a Tekla Structures model that integrates geometry, data, and construction sequencing, ensuring that all project stakeholders work from the same source of truth. By providing highly detailed, constructible, and validated outputs, we minimize RFIs, reduce rework, and improve communication across trades.
Clash Detection & Resolution Reports
One of the core deliverables of our BIM coordination process is a complete clash detection and resolution package. Using Tekla’s coordination tools, we run clash tests between structural, MEP, and architectural models to identify conflicts such as duct penetrations through beams, pipe collisions with bracing, or reinforcement clashes with anchor bolts. We don’t just flag issues—we provide resolved, constructible alternatives that can be fed back into the model. The clash report includes visual snapshots, issue IDs, priority levels, and status tracking, enabling consultants and contractors to close issues efficiently.
Integrated 3D Coordination Models
We deliver a fully integrated Tekla model that merges architectural layouts, structural framing, reinforcement, and MEP routing. This consolidated model allows stakeholders to visualize the complete project, identify constructability issues, and coordinate installation sequences. Each model is structured with layers, filters, and part classifications for easy navigation and issue isolation. By aligning all disciplines into one BIM environment, we ensure that fabrication and site installation are executed without unexpected conflicts.
Constructability Review & Validation Models
Beyond clash detection, we perform detailed constructability reviews within the Tekla environment. These reviews verify clearances for installation, access paths for equipment, sequencing feasibility, and compliance with design codes. For example, we confirm whether crane access is possible for steel erection or whether space is adequate for MEP installation alongside bracing systems. Our validation models give project managers and site supervisors the confidence that the design is not only clash-free but also practical and buildable on site.
BIM Execution & Coordination Plans (BEPs)
We prepare BIM Execution Plans and Coordination Strategies aligned with your project requirements. These documents define model sharing protocols, file formats, responsibility matrices, and issue tracking workflows. They ensure that all consultants, contractors, and subcontractors follow a consistent coordination process. Deliverables include BEPs, Level of Detail (LOD) specifications, and coordination timelines, giving all stakeholders clarity on when, how, and to what level of detail BIM data should be exchanged.
Issue Tracking Logs & RFI Reduction Packages
As part of coordination, we provide structured issue logs that track the lifecycle of every clash or design conflict. These logs include status updates (open, assigned, resolved), timestamps, and responsible parties. By addressing issues at the model stage, we significantly reduce RFIs raised during construction. Our deliverables provide engineers and contractors with a transparent record of how conflicts were identified, assigned, and resolved, helping streamline consultant approvals and field execution.
Discipline-Specific Drawing Sets
From the coordinated Tekla model, we generate discipline-specific drawing outputs tailored for field execution. These include steel GA drawings, rebar layouts, MEP routing drawings, and coordinated plan/elevation sheets. Each drawing is automatically updated with model revisions, ensuring accuracy and consistency. By issuing trade-specific deliverables derived from a single coordinated model, we prevent duplication of work and eliminate version mismatches between design teams.
4D Sequencing & Construction Simulation Models
To support project managers and site planners, we provide 4D sequencing deliverables that link construction activities with the coordinated Tekla model. This includes animated simulations of steel erection sequences, concrete pours, or MEP installation phases. By visualizing the build sequence in 4D, contractors can plan manpower, equipment, and materials more effectively while reducing risks related to site logistics and safety.
BIM-Synced, Field-Ready Outputs
All Tekla BIM coordination deliverables are linked to the live 3D model so that updates in geometry, part numbers, or connections are reflected across all drawing sets, reports, and exports. Deliverables are issued in IFC, DWG, PDF, and Tekla-native formats, making them compatible with BIM coordination platforms, document control systems, and digital twin environments. This ensures that fabrication shops, consultants, and site crews always work with the latest validated data.
