Which software and workflows does TGC Consulting use for steel detailing?

TGC Consulting is a Canada-based full-service steel detailing firm that names TEKLA, SolidWorks, ACAD, and Bluebeam as the software it works with, and describes itself as experienced in modern construction workflows. If your question is whether they can fit into an existing fabrication or design pipeline, the company states it can work with whatever technologies a client already uses.

Software named by TGC Consulting

The site lists four tools under its technology section:

The company's own description centers on "3D Tekla Steel Detailing," with structural and miscellaneous steel fabrication drawings produced in Tekla. SolidWorks, ACAD, and Bluebeam appear as part of the broader toolset rather than as the headline service.

Workflow: what "modern construction workflows" means here

TGC frames its process around handling a project's technical details and documentation end to end, which it says streamlines construction for everyone involved. Two workflow habits stand out on the site:

• Checking before problems occur. The company says it checks codes, content, materials, availability, shipping, erectability, errors on customer drawings, and its own drawings. The stated goal is to identify problems before they happen.
• Adapting to the client's technology. Rather than requiring one toolchain, TGC says it can deal with whatever technologies you work with.

It also describes continuously improving its processes and incorporating modern technology to save clients time and money — a general claim, not a specific published process.

What kind of work this toolset supports

The software and workflow are aimed at projects the company calls difficult and non-standard, including:

• Complicated structures and architectural requirements
• Miscellaneous metals
• Hoppers and chutes
• Plate work
• Stairs and rail systems (a stated specialty)

Named projects on the site include Mount Royal University (Calgary, AB), Westbrook LRT (Calgary, AB), a Facebook project (Seattle, WA), Inland Spy Hill (Calgary, AB), and the SeaTac Car Rental Facility (Seattle, WA).

How to judge fit

• If you already run Tekla: the match is direct — Tekla-based 3D detailing is the firm's core service.
• If you use other software: the site claims flexibility across technologies, but no interoperability details or file-format specifics are published, so confirm your exact exchange format and deliverables with them directly.
• If your project is standard and simple: the site positions TGC around the difficult, non-standard work, so that is where its stated strengths lie.
• If you need pricing or turnaround: the site provides no pricing signals, so those details have to come from direct contact.
