Abstract: This project focuses on the design and estimation of an LED billboard using Tekla Structures software. LED billboards are widely used for digital advertising due to their high visibility, energy efficiency, and long service life. The study involves the structural design of the billboard using steel components such as columns, beams, bracings, and base connections to ensure strength, stability, and safety under various loading conditions. Tekla software is used for 3D modeling, detailing, quantity estimation, and preparation of fabrication drawings. The project also includes estimation of construction materials such as steel, concrete, bolts, and foundation requirements to determine the overall project cost. By using BIM technology, manual errors are reduced and project accuracy and efficiency are improved. The proposed design ensures durability, economical construction, and effective structural performance for modern advertising applications. Different loads acting on the structure are considered to ensure safety and durability. Tekla software helps to reduce manual errors and improves accuracy in design and estimation. The main objective of this project is to create a safe, economical, and efficient LED billboard structure using modern BIM technology.
