3D Structural Detailing – Precision from Every Angle

At Freeman Mills Partnership Ltd, we’ve been at the forefront of 3D structural detailing since the early 1990s — when we first adopted StruCAD, one of the earliest dedicated steelwork modeling systems. Today, we’ve evolved that expertise into the use of Tekla Structures, our primary detailing platform and the industry standard for advanced structural modeling.

With over a decade of hands-on Tekla experience, our in-house drawing office produces detailed, accurate, and fully coordinated 3D models that form the backbone of efficient fabrication and smooth site assembly.

We retain our legacy capability in StruCAD for rare cases where compatibility with older projects is essential — such as extensions or modifications to existing builds originally designed in that system.

Why our 3D detailing process adds value:

Decades of Experience – Over 30 years of in-house 3D modeling expertise

Industry-Leading Tools – Primary use of Tekla Structures for advanced steel detailing

Improved Accuracy – Detect and resolve issues before fabrication or delivery

Full Visualisation – Walkthrough-ready 3D models help clients and stakeholders visualise the final structure

Automated Outputs – Drawings, material lists, bolt schedules, CAM data, and surface area totals at the push of a button

Faster Turnaround – Efficient detailing workflows, especially for repetitive or modular designs

This level of detailing not only ensures smoother coordination with architects, engineers, and contractors — it also translates to fewer site issues, tighter fabrication tolerances, and more confident delivery schedules.
