The Detailing Problems We Solve
Poor detailing costs time and money long before anyone reaches site. If you have felt any of these pressures, you are in the right place.
- Errors and rework caused by inaccurate or incomplete drawings that only surface once fabrication is underway.
- Clashes and coordination gaps between steelwork, architecture and other trades that stall progress.
- Slow drawing production that holds up your workshop and puts your programme at risk.
What Are Tekla Detailing Services?
Tekla detailing is the process of turning engineering designs into a complete, fabrication-ready model of your steelwork. Using Tekla Structures, we build an intelligent 3D model of every beam, column, brace and connection, then extract the drawings and data your team needs.
The result is a single, coordinated source of truth. From that model we generate general arrangement drawings, fabrication drawings, connection details and workshop drawings, along with the material lists and CNC data that keep your production line moving. For a deeper look at how this process works in practice, read our guide to structural steel detailing with Tekla.
Why Tekla Structures Adds Value
Tekla Structures is one of the most trusted platforms for structural steel detailing, and for good reason. It gives Liverpool projects a level of accuracy and coordination that manual drafting simply cannot match.
Accurate 3D Steel Modelling
Because every element is modelled in three dimensions, dimensions, quantities and connections stay consistent across the whole project. What you see in the model is what gets fabricated, which removes ambiguity and significantly reduces costly interpretation errors.
Fewer Clashes, Better Coordination
Modelling steelwork in 3D allows us to identify and resolve clashes before they reach the workshop or site. This tighter coordination between design, fabrication and installation keeps your programme on track and protects your budget from unexpected costs.
Workshop-Ready Drawings
Drawings extracted directly from the Tekla model are clear, complete and consistent. Your fabricators receive information they can build from immediately, which improves fabrication efficiency and cuts back-and-forth queries that slow production down.
How Our Tekla Detailing Process Works
We keep the process straightforward and transparent so you always know where your project stands.
- Review and setup. We assess your drawings, specifications and programme, then agree standards and deliverables for your Liverpool project.
- 3D modelling. We build a detailed Tekla Structures model of your steelwork, including connections and secondary steel elements.
- Coordination and checking. We review the model for clashes and buildability, resolving any issues before drawings are issued.
- Drawing production. We produce general arrangement drawings, fabrication drawings and connection details ready for the workshop.
- Delivery and support. We issue the outputs your team needs and remain on hand for revisions and queries throughout fabrication and installation.
Key Benefits for Liverpool Steelwork Projects
Improved project accuracy
A single coordinated model keeps drawings, quantities and connections aligned across the full job, reducing the risk of discrepancies between trades.
Reduced errors and rework
Clash detection and consistent detailing catch problems early, well before they create costly consequences on site.
Faster fabrication
Clear, workshop-ready drawings help Liverpool fabricators move from drawing to production without unnecessary delay or clarification.
Smoother installation
Well-detailed connections and accurate dimensions make steel erection quicker, safer and less prone to site queries.
Better coordination
3D models make it straightforward to align steelwork with architecture and other trades from the very beginning of a project.
Scalable support
Whether you have a single-storey frame or a complex multi-level commercial structure, our Tekla detailing flexes to suit the scope and programme of your work. We work across a wide range of project types. Visit our sectors page to see the full range of work we support.
