What changes

For those who design

Time

Fewer hours per calculation

The programs enable batch sizing and automatic generation of reports and calculation documents, ready to be integrated into the project documentation.

Productivity

The whole team designing

They let engineers with different levels of experience develop projects with greater autonomy and confidence, supported by calculation engines that deliver highly reliable results.

Quality

Consistency across projects

They bring uniformity to the presentation of the deliverables and to the application of the calculation methods, reducing variation between professionals and projects, without compromising the flexibility each application requires.

For those who receive the design

Owner's engineer

Independent verification

Independent verification of the sizing received, with a report and a methodology report to support the review.

Contractor

A basis for proposing optimizations

A technical basis for studying optimizations to designs by others, with auditable results ready to share.

Custom development

We also develop custom software.

Programs, calculation routines and BIM integrations tailored to your company's specific needs.
