Tekla Structures is a structural BIM software developed by Trimble that enables engineers, detailers, and fabricators to create 3D models of steel, concrete, and timber structures — and generate fabrication-ready drawings, reports, and material lists directly from those models. In Dubai, Tekla Structures is the preferred detailing tool on steel-intensive projects across industrial, commercial, and infrastructure sectors. Structural steel fabricators submitting shop drawings to Dubai Municipality use Tekla as a standard production tool, and the software’s IFC-compliant BIM output aligns with Dubai’s broader mandate for BIM implementation on major construction projects. Tekla Structures training in Dubai at Orbit equips professionals to work on live project deliverables from day one.
Dubai’s construction pipeline reached AED 761 billion in real estate transactions in 2024, according to the Dubai Land Department — a record figure that reflects sustained demand for skilled structural professionals across the emirate.
Dubai Municipality’s BIM circular requires BIM compliance on construction projects above AED 100 million, which directly increases employer demand for professionals who can deliver constructible, data-rich structural models rather than 2D drawings alone.
Steel fabrication companies, engineering consultancies, and main contractors working on projects for Nakheel, Emaar, DEWA, and Dubai South regularly advertise for Tekla-skilled detailers and modelers in the UAE.
According to Glassdoor data (December 2025), Tekla Modelers in Dubai earn an average of AED 8,074–9,044 per month, with senior profiles exceeding AED 9,000 monthly.
In this 30-hour Tekla training course, you will learn to model a complete structural steel frame using both component-based and manual connection techniques. You will practice:
Training runs across 2-hour sessions and is paced to build from interface navigation to advanced drawing management by course completion.
This course is open to anyone — no prior Tekla Structures experience is required.
It is well suited to structural and civil engineers who design in analysis tools such as ETABS or STAAD Pro and need to produce detailed 3D models and fabrication drawings.
Detailers and draftsmen currently working in AutoCAD who want to move to 3D BIM workflows will cover the full transition in this course. Fresh graduates with a civil or structural engineering degree can join and gain the practical modeling skills that employers in Dubai require from day one.
Working professionals preparing for a role change from general construction to steel fabrication or BIM coordination will find the course structured for practical career application.
| Job Title | Monthly Salary (AED) |
|---|---|
| Tekla Modeler / Detailer (Entry Level, 1–3 yrs) | AED 6,000–8,000 |
| Tekla Modeler (Mid-Level, 3–6 yrs) | AED 8,000–12,000 |
| Senior Tekla Detailer (6+ yrs, UAE experience) | AED 12,000–16,000 |
| Steel Structural Engineer with Tekla Skills | AED 10,000–18,000 |
| BIM Coordinator (Structural) | AED 10,000–15,000 |
| Structural Draftsman with Tekla | AED 5,500–8,500 |
Steel fabricators and EPC contractors in Dubai’s industrial zones — JAFZA, DAFZA, and Dubai Industrial City — are consistently among the highest employers of Tekla-skilled professionals. Freelance steel detailing for UAE-based fabricators is also a viable income stream, with per-project rates ranging from AED 5,000 to AED 25,000 depending on project scope and complexity.
Nishank Kumar, CAD and BIM trainer with 6 years of training experience, has trained over 500 professionals at Orbit Training Centre across structural BIM, AutoCAD, Revit, ETABS, and STAAD Pro disciplines.
His structural background and corporate training history with UAE construction firms means the Tekla course content reflects the actual workflows used by fabricators and detailers working on projects in Dubai.
The free demo session at Orbit includes a live Tekla Structures software walkthrough, a hands-on exercise creating a basic steel frame model, and a direct Q&A with the trainer — so you can evaluate the course content and teaching style before committing.
One-to-one training at Orbit means you move through the course at your own pace. Complex topics like custom component creation or advanced connection design do not hold the session back if you already have foundational BIM knowledge.
Post-training support includes 30-day access to course materials, direct mentor queries via the trainer, and guidance on applying for Tekla certification exams. The course curriculum is built around Dubai Municipality structural drawing standards and BIM compliance requirements recognized by UAE employers. Orbit’s certification is KHDA-aligned.
Tekla Structures is the primary 3D BIM modeling and detailing software used by structural steel fabricators, engineering consultancies, and contractors in Dubai. It is used to create detailed 3D models of steel and concrete structures, generate fabrication-ready shop drawings and erection drawings, detect structural clashes, and produce material lists and DSTV files for CNC fabrication. Dubai Municipality-approved steel fabricators submit shop drawings directly from Tekla models.
Orbit Training Centre’s Tekla Structures course in Dubai is 30 hours of total instruction, delivered in 2-hour sessions. Most students complete the course within 4–6 weeks depending on their chosen schedule — batch classes run on Monday, Saturday, or Sunday, while one-to-one sessions offer flexible timing including weekday and weekend slots. An accelerated private format is also available for professionals with time constraints.
No prior Tekla Structures experience is required. The course starts from interface navigation and structural setup, progressing through steel and concrete modeling, connection creation, and drawing generation. Students with existing AutoCAD or general CAD knowledge will move through the foundational modules faster. Fresh engineering graduates with no CAD background can also join — the training is paced to build skills from zero to a professional working level in 30 hours.
Orbit Training Centre’s certification is KHDA-aligned, meaning it is recognized by engineering consultancies, steel fabricators, and construction companies across Dubai and the UAE as evidence of formal professional training. Employers requiring Tekla-certified detailers and modelers for projects under Dubai Municipality jurisdiction accept KHDA-recognized certificates as a standard professional credential. The certificate also supports applications for Trimble’s own Tekla certification pathway.
Based on Glassdoor and PayScale data (2025–2026), Tekla Modelers and Detailers in Dubai earn AED 6,000–8,000 per month at entry level with 1–3 years of experience, AED 8,000–12,000 at mid-career level, and AED 12,000–16,000 for senior detailers with UAE project experience. Steel Structural Engineers with Tekla skills command AED 10,000–18,000 monthly. BIM Coordinators with Tekla structural modeling capability typically earn AED 10,000–15,000 per month.
