Revolutionizing Construction with Tekla Structures: Expert Insights 

The efficiency and accuracy that the construction industry demands every day are more exigent. The introduction of innovative technologies, like Tekla Structures, into your workplace, simplifies the construction workflows and delivers better results. 

A panel of industry experts gathered at the Digital Construction Summit 2024 to discuss their experiences using Tekla Structures and the transformative impact it’s had on their projects.  

Here’s a breakdown of what they had to say, along with video highlights.  

Why Tekla Structures? 

Tekla Structures offers a comprehensive BIM solution to make construction professionals more productive. Advanced tools within the software ensure accurate modeling, collaboration, and data sharing in real time across teams.  

“Tekla Structures lets us visualize the whole job before one beam or column is placed. The clarity brought down the rework by 50%.” 

“Communication is the key on a construction site. Tekla takes that further by integrating all platforms so that everyone, from design to execution, is on the same page.” 

Advanced Modeling for Complex Projects 

The power of Tekla Structures in handling complex designs and geometries involving steel, concrete, and timber is its strong point. The precision modeling of the software will enable the team to create detailed, constructible models with minimal errors. 

“We used Tekla Structures on a high-rise project with more than 2,000 unique steel connections. It handled it with ease, saving us weeks of manual adjustments.”  

Smooth Collaboration 

Every construction project involves a number of stakeholders, and collaboration makes the difference in such projects. Tekla Structures ensures collaboration with ease; it helps architects, engineers, and contractors stay in rhythm. 

“Before Tekla, there were constant communication gaps between the design and construction teams. Now, we use one centralized model, and the difference is night and day.”  

Cost Savings and Efficiency Gains 

Beyond modeling, Tekla Structures offers cost management, material waste reduction, and optimization of schedules. Every stage in the process, from detailing to on-site fabrication, benefits from heightened accuracy and efficiency. 

“The ability to detect clashes early in the process has saved us a lot of time and money. Tekla pays for itself after just one project.”  

The Future of Construction Is Now 

Tekla Structures is more than software. It’s a game-changer in the construction world. Whether you are working on giant infrastructure projects or projects of a smaller architectural nature, this tool puts you right at the forefront of managing any challenge with great accuracy.
