Senior Steel Detailing & Constructability QA for Steel Fabricators

We don’t just model steel. We make it fabrication-ready.

Tekla Structures modelling, workshop documentation and BIM quality control for fabrication-ready steel projects across Germany, Denmark and Scandinavia.

GM7AD supports steel fabricators, engineering offices and detailing teams with senior-level Tekla expertise focused on real production: fabrication, welding, galvanizing, assembly and workshop-ready documentation.

A correct-looking model is not always a buildable model.

Steel projects rarely fail because of one obvious mistake. More often, problems appear later in production: inaccessible welds, unclear assembly logic, missing fabrication details, clashes discovered too late, galvanizing issues, transport limitations or workshop drawings that do not reflect the real model condition.

GM7AD focuses on finding these risks before they reach the workshop.

01

Model correctness is not enough

A 3D model can look clean and still create fabrication, welding or assembly problems.

02

Workshop output must be production-ready

Drawings, NC/DXF files and material lists must be clear, consistent and usable by the workshop.

03

Constructability must be checked early

The best time to solve a steel detailing issue is before it becomes a production delay.

Steel detailing and BIM QA services focused on fabrication readiness

GM7AD provides senior-level support across the steel detailing process — from Tekla modelling and workshop documentation to independent model checking before production release.

Tekla Structures 3D Modelling

3D modelling of steel structures in Tekla Structures based on design drawings, IFC models and project specifications. Focused on clear assembly logic, reliable detailing and production-ready output.

  • Tekla 3D modelling
  • Assembly logic
  • Connection detailing support
  • Revision handling
  • Tekla Model Sharing cooperation

Workshop Documentation

Workshop documentation prepared with fabrication, welding, cutting and assembly in mind — not just automatic drawing output from the model.

  • Assembly drawings
  • Single part drawings
  • GA drawings
  • NC/DXF files
  • Material lists
  • Drawing checking before issue

BIM / Tekla QA

Independent review of Tekla models and documentation before production. The goal is to detect fabrication, welding, access, clash and assembly risks before they become workshop or site problems.

  • Model checking
  • Clash detection
  • Drawing/model consistency check
  • Welding and access review
  • Assembly sequence comments
  • Production risk notes

Remote Senior Detailing Support

Flexible senior-level Tekla support for steel fabricators, engineering offices and detailing teams during project overloads or complex detailing phases.

  • Tekla Model Sharing
  • Remote coordination
  • Revision updates
  • Detailing corrections
  • Support for active project teams

BIM QA is not only clash detection. It is production risk control.

Many steel models pass visual checks but still create serious problems during fabrication or assembly. GM7AD reviews models and documentation from the perspective of real steel production — not only geometry.

The question is not only: “Is the model correct?”

The real question is: “Can this structure be fabricated, welded, galvanized, transported and assembled without avoidable problems?”

We check if the steel can actually be built.

Constructability checklist

  • 01Can the elements be fabricated as detailed?
  • 02Is welding access realistic?
  • 03Are bolted connections accessible on site?
  • 04Are there clashes affecting assembly?
  • 05Can the structure be galvanized without obvious issues?
  • 06Are transport and handling limitations considered?
  • 07Are drawings clear for workshop use?
  • 08Are NC/DXF files and material lists consistent with the model?

A clear workflow from input to fabrication-ready output

  1. 01

    Input review

    Design drawings, IFC models, project specifications and fabrication requirements are reviewed before detailing starts.

  2. 02

    Tekla modelling

    The structure is modelled with assembly logic, detailing standards and workshop output in mind.

  3. 03

    Model checking

    The model is checked for clashes, access, fabrication risks and documentation consistency.

  4. 04

    Workshop documentation

    Assembly drawings, single part drawings, GA drawings, NC/DXF files and material lists are prepared.

  5. 05

    QA before release

    Final review before issuing documentation to production, focused on reducing avoidable workshop and site problems.
