 Precast BIM High Concrete Group uses Tekla® Structures for precast building information modeling (BIM), providing 3D project visualization and execution of shop drawings. The tool is approximately 10% faster and is less error-prone than 2D drawing techniques. Sales models permit design teams to see, manipulate and adjust projects quickly to meet quality and schedule expectations.
