Technological advances are part of the construction process
Choose to make a constructive impact. You can transform your design, your project and your business by opting for progress and triggering a ripple effect. Move to truly constructible structural BIM for better understanding and more productive results.
Tekla's truly constructible models let you streamline workflows and collaborate in real time to produce your best work. Go beyond BIM for greater accuracy, productivity and profitability.
BIM is much more than photorealistic project visualization and collision detection. With Tekla, it's possible to create identical digital models that are real, accurate and buildable. They offer seamless processes, keep design and construction in perfect sync, and help companies meet the challenges of construction.
The essentials
After decades of status quo, the construction industry finally has the opportunity to modernize thanks to digital transformation. The constructible process offers significant improvements in productivity, efficiency, safety and quality. Transforming the way the construction industry works has never been easier. Today, we can design, build and maintain buildings more efficiently, to the benefit of construction companies and users alike. Consistency and Accessibility are the keys to success. High-quality BIM data is created and accessed as part of the Trimble construction process.
The benefits of switching to an information-rich building model
Progress can start with the information in your model, the positive impact on people, projects and the planet. Realistically constructible building information models optimize the structural design and details you model. They influence the interactions of other project stakeholders and enable downstream decision-making. Deliverables from a truly constructible BIM model are accurate, reliable and easy to understand.
With truly buildable Tekla models, design, manufacturing and site teams can collaborate and have a common understanding of the tasks at hand. By adopting Tekla software from Trimble, you can quickly create reliable designs using automated processes, and collaborate seamlessly to increase your potential.
Improved productivity, risk reduction and sustainability require better project understanding and more reliable data to drive decisions and results. Industry performance can be improved with accurate, truly constructible models of digital twins that connect to real, physical assets.
Save time and money with accurate data
Accurate data brings people, technology and information together to deliver quality work in the shortest possible time. Say goodbye to traditional 2D plans and fragmented data, and embrace easy-to-understand, accessible information.
It's estimated that construction teams waste 13% of their working time searching for project data. But it doesn't have to be that way. By becoming truly constructible, everyone benefits from seeing the big picture and the smallest details.
Overcoming communication difficulties
As the global pandemic creates uncertainty in the construction industry, the benefits of BIM become even more apparent. As The Next Normal in Construction report explains, "Digital technologies can enable better collaboration, greater control of the value chain and a shift towards more data-driven decision-making. These innovations will change the way companies approach operations, design and construction" McKinsey, 2020. With a truly constructible process, teams benefit from clear communication on projects of any size, even when working in different parts of the world. Work is shared with the right people 24/7 to keep team members in the loop and well informed.
Assessing constructability
How can you be sure you're working with a truly constructible process? Constructability can be quantified using the concept of Level of Development (LOD), which was developed by the Associated General Contractors of America to define the content and reliability of BIM.
With truly constructible Tekla software driving your BIM process, you benefit from added value and reduced risk. With Tekla, everyone involved gets the data-rich information they need, thanks to an industry-recognized and quantifiable method.
Reducing carbon emissions
According to the Bringing Embodied Carbon Upfront report, 39% of all global carbon emissions come from building and construction. This is one of the many reasons why the WorldGBC (World Green Building Council) wants to decarbonize the sector entirely by 2050. Construction companies can rise to the challenge with a truly constructible BIM. Randselva bridge by Sweco, PNC, Armando Rito and Isachsen
Truly constructible BIM reduces material waste by optimizing buildings. And thanks to high-quality data and modeling, users can even experiment with greener materials. Tekla also makes it easy for engineers to evaluate designs to reduce their carbon impact before construction even begins. It's no wonder so many people recommend using BIM constructible from the earliest stages of construction. Informed planning paves the way for a greener, cleaner world.
Mixed reality made easy
Go beyond the computer screen and combine design data with the real world, navigating structures before they're even finished. Thanks to a truly constructible process, you can easily detect errors on site and save money, materials and time.
Building in complete safety
BIM constructible ensures the safety of structural users. Essential information makes building safe. With Tekla's truly constructible building information model, you have an entire data repository at your fingertips.
