Techture delivers structural BIM services across Canada, supporting project teams with accurate modeling, detailing, and construction documentation. Our expertise spans steel, reinforced concrete, precast, and composite structures, covering everything from early design development to fabrication-ready outputs.
We focus on creating coordinated, practical models that align with real construction workflows, helping engineers, contractors, and fabricators deliver projects efficiently and with greater confidence. Techture has over 350 skilled BIM professionals with years of experience in the implementation of structural BIM services in Canada. We integrate our processes with engineering processes and the Canadian regulatory framework to provide top-notch BIM solutions for our clients.
Techture reviews structural drawings, models, LOD requirements, timelines, and deliverables.Project scope, structure type, and coordination needs are clearly defined before productionbegins.
Model templates, naming conventions, and detailing standards are configured to match the
project BEP, EOR requirements, or fabricator standards. Coordination settings are established
early.
Models are developed progressively to the required LOD with milestone-based internal QAchecks. Reinforcement layouts, connections, and documentation are verified before issue.
Structural models are federated with other disciplines and coordinated using clash detectionworkflows. Issues are tracked, prioritised, and resolved through iterative updates.
Final drawings, detailing packages, and schedules are delivered to clients, fabricators, orauthorities. Models are handed over in agreed formats for construction or facility use.
Techture assists structural engineering consultants in taking over the task of BIM creation,modeling, documentation, and detailing. In this way, engineers get to concentrate on theaspects of design analysis, calculations, and EOR, and all the BIM deliverables will be in syncwith their design requirements and processes.
Techture provides steel fabricators and erectors with detailed shop drawings, connection details,and erection plans prepared using Tekla Structures software. Our outputs are in accordancewith the requirements of each particular fabricator and CISC recommendations and thus helpminimize problems associated with drawings and increase productivity in the fabricationprocess.
Techture supports general contractors by maintaining structural BIM models atconstruction-level LOD and ensuring continuous coordination with architectural and MEPdisciplines. This removes the need for in-house structural BIM resources while enablingsmoother coordination workflows, better clash resolution, and improved construction planningacross the project lifecycle.
Techture provides asset-ready structural BIM models for developers and owners throughstructured data, material data, and systems data. Techture’s BIM models can be used tomanage facilities and integrate them into digital twins, making sure that the structural BIMmodels are useful even after the construction process.
We work with multiple Design Consultants and offer our BIM solutions
The structural BIM services comprise the creation and management of intelligent 3D digital
models that represent all of the structural aspects of the building, including steel frame,
reinforced concrete, and precast components. The service supports the design, coordination,
and detailing as well as the construction process. Techture provides an integrated package of
services covering modeling, detailing, documentation, coordination, and engineering.
Techture employs cutting-edge software such as Tekla Structures for detailing of steel structures
and precast concrete elements while using Autodesk Revit for structural analysis and
construction documentation. Navisworks is utilized for multi-disciplinary coordination and
collision detection. All software platforms are fully integrated according to the project-specific
Common Data Environment (CDE).
Structural modeling focuses on developing a coordinated 3D representation of the building
structure used for design validation and interdisciplinary coordination. Structural detailing, on the
other hand, produces fabrication-ready drawings, connection details, and schedules required for
manufacturing and construction. Techture integrates both processes into a single workflow to
ensure consistency from design through to execution.
Techture provides structural BIM models at all levels of development from LOD 100 to LOD 500.
Levels of development 300, 350, and 400 are typically applied for design coordination, clash
detection and interface coordination, and detailing ready for fabrication, respectively. The LOD
to be provided is established during scope definition.
Yes, Techture provides highly precise shop drawings of structural steel that can be used for
fabrication purposes via Tekla Structures software. Shop drawings include general
arrangements, detail drawings of members, connections, and erection plans. All deliverables
are in line with CISC guidelines and tailored to the fabricator's requirements.
Yes, Techture offers complete rebar detailing services for reinforced concrete constructionthroughout Canada. The deliverables consist of bar bending schedules, rebar layout, lapping,and anchorage drawings along with quantities. All rebar drawings will be done as per the CSAA23.3 standard and according to the intention of the structural engineer of record.
The timeframe of a structural BIM project is based on criteria such as the size and complexity ofthe building, LOD needs, and level of detailing required. Projects that are small commercial innature usually take between three and five weeks, whereas large or complex projects usuallytake between eight and sixteen weeks.
