Building information modeling (BIM) is becoming the baseline standard for building planning and fabrication management for good reason. As buildings become more sophisticated and detailed, the demands and expectations for greater collaboration, better decision-making and more sustainable options also grow. The power of BIM software helps you meet these demands while reducing costs and improving […]

Tekla lets you manage risk and plan for a successful process. Integrating […]
Øystein Ulvestad is a Norwegian structural engineer and BIM developer who uses Tekla Structures to model bridges in 3D. We spoke to him about the benefits of modeling pours in Tekla during a bridge’s design phase. Ulvestad has been working with Tekla software for almost 20 years. In the first part of his career, he […]
Whether you are in charge of a simple construction project or a complex one, you know that you and your team need to have access to accurate information at the right time. This is essential for executing your work and delivering your project successfully, without expensive surprises. Trimble Connect is an open collaboration tool that […]
What is LOD? Above all, LOD makes the value of the model evident to all parties and creates trust between different people working on the same project. The more reliable the model information becomes, the more project stakeholders are lining up to get hold of it. It is easy to understand as the information begins […]
Modular construction is becoming less of a niche market and a real growth area within the construction sector. For decades, construction companies have chosen modular construction for the convenience of having factory-produced, pre-engineered building units delivered and assembled on site. In the late 1990’s, the Egan Report suggested the predictability and efficiency of offsite construction could improve […]
When designing reinforced concrete structures using traditional methods such as 2D drawings, you may encounter some typical challenges. One classic example is that you might be spending many hours redoing or amending the same designs repeatedly. As a result, this may squeeze the overall project schedule and even cause it to slip, with the knock-on […]
