About LMSteel Consulting
LMSteel Consulting Sagl is an independent Swiss engineering office headquartered in Lugano with an operating office in Balerna (Ticino), offering specialised services in civil structural and mechanical engineering. The team supports clients from the preliminary study and structural analysis through detailed design to design for manufacturing, including workshop, NC and erection drawings. Core competence is BIM-based project work with 14 active Tekla Structures (Trimble) licenses as well as software such as Revit, Navisworks, BIM 360, Advance Steel, Strand7, Sismicad, Inventor and SolidWorks; construction details such as connections and welded joints are handled just as thoroughly as piping and skid design, HVAC, infrastructure and building envelope planning. In addition, the company offers project & construction management, site supervision, expediting, renderings and erection sequence animations, as well as outsourced BIM specialists. Clients include general contractors, steel fabricators, EPC companies and private investors, including VINCI Construction, Freyssinet, Tecnimont, SiirtecNigi, Casale and LMV, mainly in Switzerland, Italy, France, Luxembourg, Germany and America.
