Best of breeds together for better pre-engineered buildings

Introducing a complete solution from design & costing through detailing and fabrication for any kind of metal building (PEB): Integration of the industry leaders – exclusive link between the best solutions.

MBS and Tekla logos above a progression of building designs from blueprints to 3D models.

Optimized design and costing

Get optimal building design with all structural characteristics, materials, codes and loading automatically

  • Least weight optimized from your inventory

  • Flexibility to set design and detailing rules according to company standards

  • Loading conditions automatically defined

  • Complete structural design of primary framing, connections, secondary framing, bracing

  • Complete sheeting, screws, mastic and closures

  • Eliminate human error with software-guided design input

Automatic, accurate and fast costing information

  • Everything needed for a bid

  • Automatic costing calculations with material, labor and overhead pricing

  • Eliminate human errors in costing

Integrated detailing

Import detailed structure with sheeting from MBS into Tekla Structures using the new exclusive link.

Finalize detailing in Tekla with new integrated tools:

  • Stitching – new purpose-built tools for metal buildings to complete detailing

  • Complete detailing of multi material projects

Work efficiently and collaborate with Tekla Model Sharing.

Production and site

  • Automatic drawings for production and erection with new metal building settings

  • Intelligent CNC interfaces to all leading machine vendors

  • Project information sharing with Trimble Connect
