Tekla modelling and detailing for structural steelwork
Clear and accurate fabrication information is essential to moving structural steelwork from design through procurement, manufacture and erection.
Celona Consulting provides Tekla drafting and modelling support to structural engineers, steelwork contractors, fabricators and construction teams throughout the UK.
All Tekla work is completed by our dedicated UK based team. We do not outsource drafting work overseas, giving clients direct communication with the people working on their project.
From engineering information to coordinated drawings
We develop the structural engineer’s design and project information into an accurate three-dimensional Tekla model.
The model provides a coordinated basis for producing drawings, schedules and fabrication information. It also allows interfaces with the architectural design, structure and building services to be reviewed before steelwork is manufactured or installed.
Our Tekla drafting services can include:
- Three-dimensional structural steel models
- General arrangement and erection drawings
- Assembly and single-part fabrication drawings
- Primary and secondary steelwork detailing
- Stairs, platforms, handrails and ancillary steelwork
- Material, bolt and drawing schedules
- Model revisions and as-built information
- Coordination with architectural and engineering models
Practical coordination before fabrication
Steelwork must connect accurately with foundations, floors, walls, roofs, cladding and building services.
We review the available design information and identify missing dimensions, conflicting details and unresolved interfaces. Queries are raised clearly with the relevant designer so that decisions can be made before fabrication drawings are finalised.
Where structural or connection design is required, we coordinate with the responsible engineer and incorporate the approved information into the Tekla model.
Clear information for manufacture and erection
Fabrication drawings must be detailed, consistent and easy to interpret.
We prepare information around the fabricator’s standards, project requirements and agreed drawing procedures. Models and drawings are checked before issue, with revisions managed so the project team can identify the current information.
The model can also support coordination meetings, design reviews and discussions with the fabrication and site teams.
Flexible UK drafting support
Our service can support a complete steelwork package or provide additional capacity to an established detailing team.
We can assist during busy periods, take responsibility for a defined section of the structure or provide ongoing drafting support across several projects. The scope, deliverables and checking requirements are agreed at the outset.
Because all work is completed in the UK, clients benefit from straightforward communication, aligned working hours and direct access to the team delivering the work.
Why choose Celona?
We combine Tekla drafting with BIM coordination, technical design and practical construction experience.
This allows us to understand how the steelwork relates to the wider building—not simply how it appears within an isolated structural model.
Strengthen your steelwork delivery
Whether you require a coordinated Tekla model, fabrication drawings or additional UK-based drafting capacity, we can tailor our support to your project and programme.
