Tekla Structures is a 3D building information modelling (BIM) program for structural steel and concrete. Structural engineers, detailers, fabricators, contractors and project managers use it to create, combine, manage and share models for building and infrastructure projects. The vendor presents the product on its website as part of Trimble's construction software range.
Tekla has its roots in Espoo, Finland, where Tekla Corporation was based before Trimble acquired the company, a deal completed in February 2012. Trimble Inc. is a publicly listed US company with principal offices in Westminster, Colorado, so a US parent sits in the ownership chain, which matters under the US CLOUD Act. Trimble's privacy notice states that data is stored on Trimble and third-party servers worldwide, and that transfers to the United States rely on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses. European buyers should check where project data is hosted and which contracts apply.
