Tekla Structures, a foundational piece of Trimble’s construction software portfolio, is built on decades of deep expertise in structural engineering and detailing. Serving a global community of detailers, structural engineers, fabricators, and contractors, the platform provides a unified digital environment for managing structural data. Whether working with steel, precast concrete, cast-in-place concrete, or mass timber, users rely on Tekla Structures’ robust, proven technology to manage their most demanding projects. By prioritizing deep localization, comprehensive support, and a commitment to industry-wide standards, Tekla Structures has become an essential tool for professionals who need to deliver reliable, high-quality structures in a competitive, fast-paced global market. At the heart of Tekla Structures is an unwavering focus on precision and accuracy. Engineered for true constructibility, the software ensures that if it fits in your model, it will fit in the field, drastically reducing the risk of costly errors that plague traditional, drawing-based workflows. This capability is powered by a unique parametric engine that allows intelligent objects to adapt automatically to design changes, maintaining data integrity throughout the project lifecycle. Collaboration is seamless thanks to Tekla Model Sharing, which allows distributed teams to work together on the same model in real-time, regardless of location or time zone. Furthermore, the platform’s Open API provides unparalleled flexibility, allowing organizations to build custom workflows and integrations that connect Tekla Structures directly to fabrication machinery, analysis tools, and project management ecosystems. The primary value of Tekla Structures lies in its ability to transform digital designs into truly constructible data. By moving beyond simple 3D visualization and producing highly detailed, machine-readable information, Tekla Structures allows project teams to identify and resolve clashes before a single piece of material is ordered or a worker steps on-site. This proactive approach minimizes manual rework, reduces material waste, and helps keep projects on schedule and under budget. Whether it is generating accurate bar bending schedules, optimizing procurement, or driving automated fabrication machinery, Tekla Structures empowers organizations to work smarter. It provides the essential, validated data required to streamline the entire construction process, ultimately boosting profitability and confidence for every stakeholder involved. * * * Seller [Trimble](https://www.g2.com/sellers/trimble) Discussions [Tekla Structures Community](https://www.g2.com/products/tekla-structures/discuss) Languages Supported Czech, German, English, French, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional) Solution Type Best-of-Breed Show More ## Value at a Glance Averages based on real user reviews. ### Perceived Cost $$$$$ [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/tekla-structures/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![AutoCAD](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "AutoCAD") AutoCAD 4.4/5(1,940) ](https://www.g2.com/products/autocad/reviews) [ ![Revit](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Revit") Revit 4.6/5(956) ](https://www.g2.com/products/revit/reviews) [ ![STAAD.Pro](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "STAAD.Pro") STAAD.Pro 4.4/5(75) ](https://www.g2.com/products/staad-pro/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/tekla-structures/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 64 real user reviews.

Design Trainee Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 6/15/2021 "Get's the job done" 4/5 What do you like best about Tekla Structures? The upside of using Tekla is that you can use it out of the box (standard with no modifications), or like my company, have programmers create custom tools to make designing easier.

However, I'm sure Tekla out of the box has clean tools that work. Also since we work from servers and with the amount of people using them at once, it sometimes crashes. And if the internet drops out the computers will freeze and you can't work with Tekla or anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
