The plans
What Tekla PowerFab charges
Tekla PowerFab has no published price and is sold as a subscription quoted through resellers. Your bill depends on office user or floating licences, PowerFab Go licences for the floor, module scope, implementation and training.
Reseller-quoted subscription
Quoted privately
Trimble sells Tekla PowerFab through resellers, with licences for users or floating seats.
How the bill is built
Office licences
Office licences are assigned to named users or shared as floating seats. Each estimator, project manager and buyer who edits records needs a licence, so the office seat count shapes your bill.
PowerFab Go licences
One PowerFab Go licence comes with the subscription. Extra licences are bought by the year and usually assigned to shared tablets and shop computers, adding to the bill if more floor access is needed.
Module scope
Resellers quote Tekla PowerFab module by module. A full licence opens the Office modules, including estimating, purchasing, inventory, project management, production control and order entry, whether or not your shop uses them all.
Implementation and training
Resellers quote implementation and training alongside the licences. Training is also needed again when new staff join, so the cost is not limited to the subscription.
A year of Tekla PowerFab
Your yearly bill is quoted privately
Tekla PowerFab is quoted privately, so there is no public yearly total to calculate. Your annual bill depends on the office licences you need, whether they are assigned to users or shared as floating seats, extra PowerFab Go licences bought by the year, and the modules in scope. Resellers also quote implementation and training.
Underneath the bill
What you are really paying for
Screens over your records
The bill covers access to your job records through Tekla PowerFab. A full licence opens its Office modules, while your job history stays inside the vendor's software.
Access to change records
Read-only viewing is free, but adding or changing a record needs a paid seat. If you need people to update records, the licence count has to cover those users or provide enough floating seats.
Implementation and training
Resellers quote implementation and training alongside the licences. You are also paying for staff to learn the system, and new staff need training again later.
