Built for your workflow
We specialize in creating custom structural engineering software that integrates seamlessly with your firm's unique processes, standards, and tools.
Structural engineering deserves better software
The profession is underserved, and existing tools aren't built with real engineering workflows in mind
There's no shortage of analysis software tools exist for nearly every conceivable structural system. But when it comes to flexibility, transparency, and real workflow integration, the options fall short.
Locked Down Tools
Commercial software like STAAD, RISA and even Enercalc are rigid black boxes. You can't adapt them to your firm's standards, and you're left guessing how they actually work under the hood.
No Transparency or Support
When something doesn't work right, good luck getting answers. Support tickets go unanswered, documentation is thin, and you're on your own to figure out if the software is wrong or you are.
Neglected by Big Software
Large companies like Bentley and RISA treat structural engineering as a side business. Features are slow to release, bugs persist for years, and the roadmap doesn't reflect what practicing engineers actually need.
Increasingly Complex Codes
Building codes get more demanding every cycle, but software doesn't keep up. Manual workarounds and supplemental calculations pile up, defeating the purpose of using software at all.
The result? Engineers spend too much time wrestling with tools that should be helping them, not fighting them. Calculation packages grow longer to document manual checks. Workflows stay inefficient because the software won't adapt.
That's where we come in. We build tools that work with your workflow, not against it. Transparent calculations, flexible to your standards, and built by engineers who understand what you actually need.
What we build
Custom engineering tools designed to solve your specific challenges
Company-Specific Workflows
Automation tools that encode your firm's design standards, calculation procedures, and quality control processes. From parametric design generators to custom reporting templates.
Software Integrations
Connect your existing tools together. Extract data from analysis software, transform it through design checks, and push results to documentation systems—all automatically.
Specialized Design Tools
Custom calculators for niche applications not covered by commercial software. Unusual loading conditions, specialty materials, or proprietary systems.
Data Processing & Analysis
Transform raw data into actionable insights. Batch processing of analysis results, automated quality checks, or project-wide design summaries.
The internal tool problem
Building spreadsheets and software in-house sounds good on paper, until something breaks
Hidden costs add up fast
Internal tools require ongoing maintenance, bug fixes, code changes, and updates as your needs evolve. What starts as a project specific tool becomes a long-term commitment that drains engineering resources better spent on billable work.
Engineers can't find time
Project deadlines, client calls, and design reviews fill the calendar. Finding dedicated time for your engineer to build and maintain internal tools means pulling them away from revenue-generating work—if you can spare them at all.
Good ideas gather dust
Your team knows exactly what would make their work easier, but those ideas never get built. Internal tool projects start with enthusiasm and stall out when reality hits. The workflow improvements you need just stay on the wish list.
Development isn't design work
Structural engineers are trained to design buildings, not debug software or manage user interfaces. Even talented engineers find software development tedious and time-consuming compared to the engineering work they actually enjoy.
The solution: Let us build it. You get the custom tool your workflow needs without the overhead, opportunity cost, or engineering time sink. We handle development, maintenance, and support—you focus on engineering.
How it works
A collaborative process from concept to deployment
Discovery
We start with a conversation about your current workflow, pain points, and what you envision. This helps us understand the problem deeply and propose the right solution.
Scoping & Proposal
We define the project scope, deliverables, timeline, and cost. You'll get a clear proposal outlining exactly what will be built and how it will work.
Development & Iteration
We build in phases with regular check-ins. You'll see working prototypes early and have opportunities to refine requirements as the solution takes shape.
Deployment & Support
We deliver the finished tool with documentation and training. Post-launch support ensures your team can use it effectively and we can address any issues.
Why work with us
Engineering expertise meets software development
Structural Engineers First
We're structural engineers who write code, not the other way around. We understand your technical requirements and engineering judgment.
Production-Ready Quality
Our tools are built to the same standards as our commercial products—tested, documented, and designed for daily use by engineering teams.
Your IP, Your Tool
Custom solutions are built for you and remain your intellectual property. We deliver source code and full rights to use, modify, and distribute.
