Benefits Of Using Tekla

When it comes to steel drawings and steel detailing, our team at National Steel Detailing rely heavily on the quality of the software at hand to get the job done professionally. That is why we use only the absolute best and the latest versions of model-based software on the market. One of our all-time favourite brands of software is Tekla, as it provides many benefits to our clients, not to mention our engineering team, and makes everything run that much smoother behind the scenes.

Here are some of the leading benefits we have discovered using Tekla Building Information Modelling (BIM) software in our NSW-based office:

• The software allows us to build even the most complex of structures with relative ease

• Tekla is exceptionally versatile, and there is a seemingly unlimited amount of structures that we can model using the system

• Our team can incorporate high detailed information thanks to the flexibility of the BIM software
