Case Study: Rotesma achieves greater productivity and fewer design errors with Trimble Tekla Structures and Trimble Connect

BIM a reality in the precast concrete industry

Rotesma, a Brazilian precast concrete manufacturer, was challenged by the need to improve productivity, standardize workflows, and reduce errors across project planning, design, and production. The company turned to Trimble’s Tekla Structures and Trimble Connect to bring BIM into its engineering and quotation processes, using 3D models from the earliest project stages.

With Trimble, Rotesma implemented constructible 3D models, integrated data exchange with production and financial systems, and enabled real-time collaboration across teams. The result was a major reduction in design reviews caused by misunderstandings and divergences, along with faster change management and better project visibility from design through installation.
