Engineer's design drawings, calculations or analysis model
Structural models that carry the detail.
Concrete, steel and composite frames modelled for coordination, quantity and downstream fabrication rather than for images.
Revit and Tekla structural models with GA drawings, framing plans and coordinated penetrations.
All BIM servicesDeliverables, stated before we start.
Structural models earn their cost downstream — in penetration coordination, in quantities and in fabrication. We model with those uses in mind rather than stopping at the general arrangement.
- Revit or Tekla structural model to the agreed LOD
- General arrangement drawings, framing plans, sections and details
- Penetration and opening coordination against architecture and MEP
- Connection zones and embed locations coordinated with the detailer
- Model-based quantities by element type and grade
- Interface drawings where the frame meets facade or substructure
What we need from you.
Scope gaps are cheaper to resolve before modelling than after. These are the inputs that set the programme and the price.
Grid, level and shared coordinate definition
Material grades, member sizing and connection design basis
Architectural and MEP models for interface coordination
- Revit
- Tekla Structures
- Advance Steel
- Navisworks
- AutoCAD
Structural BIM modeling — common questions.
Do you take responsibility for the structural design?
No. We model and detail to the engineer of record's design and drawings. Design responsibility stays with the appointed engineer.
Revit or Tekla?
Revit where coordination and documentation dominate; Tekla where fabrication output governs. Both, linked, on projects that need each.
Can you model from an analysis model?
Yes, though analysis models rarely carry constructable geometry. We treat them as a source for member sizing and layout, not as the physical model.
Usually scoped alongside this.
Most packages touch more than one discipline. These are the services that most often sit next to structural bim modeling.

Assembly and single-part shop drawings, erection drawings, NC/DSTV machine files and advance bills of material.
