TIMBER INDUSTRY

Streamlining timber construction with BIM

The timber industry demands shorter delivery times, collaboration with other parties and adaptability to changes. Consistent, up-to-date information is key to meeting these challenges while staying profitable. BIM supports this with a single detailed and data rich model used across all phases of design and construction, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and teamwork.

Tekla Structures for the timber industry

Tekla Structures enables producing a high quality, constructible model of timber structures for among others utility, residential and new construction and renovations.

After adding all details and connections, Tekla Structures generates the necessary drawings, reports and production data. Afterwards, the construction can be placed with overview drawings or virtual models. Also, the coordinates of selected construction elements can be transferred directly to total stations.

Why Tekla Structures is great for timber

Estimation and bidding

Quickly generate quantity take-offs, based on the 3D model. No more manual counting, Tekla does the job accurately and reduces risks when bidding.
