Technology
The platform behind the thread.
One toolchain carries the project from capture to model, design, plan, build and verify — the same data at every stage, with nothing lost in translation between tools.
Toolchain
One model, carried end to end.
Model
Tekla Structures
Constructible 3D steel modelling at the core of the thread. GA drawings, fabrication drawings and NC output all come straight from the model — never redrawn from it.
In the thread →Scale
Tekla Model Share
One live model, up to 8 detailers on-demand. Capacity flexes with your programme without splitting the model — or the team.
In the thread →Design
IDEA StatiCa
Connection design and analysis in the same thread: stress/strain, equivalent stress and deformation, stiffness, member capacity, buckling and joint resistance checks — issued with full calculation reports.
In the thread →Coordinate
Autodesk Revit + ReCap
Every discipline federated into one model — structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, plant — and clash-tested before site. We catch the clash in the model and put it back to the responsible designer, so it never lands as a variation claim or day-rate delay on the programme.
In the thread →Capture
Trimble X7 + Trimble RealWorks
High-speed 3D laser scanning to open the thread — as-builts accurate to ±2mm, so the model starts from what is actually there.
In the thread →Collaborate
Trimble Connect
Cloud collaboration across the whole project — fully backed up and encrypted in the cloud, with secure access from anywhere. Every party works to the same model.
In the thread →Mechanical
SolidWorks
Mechanical and plant design alongside the structural thread, with renders and fly-throughs to communicate the design.
In the thread →Set-out
Trimble robotic total station
The coordinated model taken back to site — robotic total station set-out straight from the model, then as-built verification that proves what got built matches what was modelled.
In the thread →Visualise
Blender
Photoreal renders, fly-throughs and bid visuals from the same coordinated model that gets built — visualisation that communicates the design and helps win the work.
In the thread →Digital delivery
- BIM coordination
- Model federation
- Clash detection
- Point clouds
- Digital twins
- 4D sequencing
- Cloud collaboration
