Steel Detailing (Tekla): common questions

Which software and file formats do you use?

We detail structural steel in Tekla Structures. A typical package includes PDF drawings, NC1 CNC files, DXF files, an IFC model and a part list.

Can you follow our drawing standards?

Yes. We follow your templates, conventions and standards, so the drawings come back looking like your own in-house work.

Do you work in metric and imperial?

Yes. Millimetres for the UK, feet and inches for the USA, and dual dimensions on request.

Can I start with one small job?

Yes. Send us one package as a trial. We will return a clear scope, fee and timeline, and the drawings can make the case.
