Custom AEC Design & Automation Software

Tower

A twelve-storey tower on a piled-raft basement, with its structure, mechanical and electrical systems.

Foundations
Piles sized from the ground investigation. Bearing capacity, settlement and pile schedules generated from the borehole data.
Columns and core
Every column checked storey by storey. Axial load, biaxial bending and slenderness resolved in a single run, core walls included.
Beams
Beams designed straight off the grid. Moment, shear and deflection checked to code, with steel or reinforcement schedules to match.
Slabs
Slabs and setbacks resolved. Floor loads tracked down through every transfer level to the foundations.
Mechanical
Plant loads and openings coordinated. Rooftop plant weights and riser penetrations pulled from the shared model, structure updated automatically.
Electrical
Services clash-checked against structure. Riser, switchroom and plinth positions synced from the BIM model so the frame is designed around them.

Development

A housing development: plot, roads, houses and apartment blocks, with drainage and attenuation beneath.

Plot and levels
Site levels and boundaries read from the survey. Cut and fill, plot areas and setbacks calculated across the whole development at once.
Buildings
House types placed and counted automatically. Unit mix, density and orientation checked against the brief, with every plot scheduled.
Roads
Road layout set out from the site plan. Alignments, gradients and turning heads generated, with adoptable widths held throughout.
Drainage
Drainage designed beneath the roads. Pipe runs, falls and manhole schedules generated for the foul and surface water networks.
Attenuation and SuDS
Storage sized for the design storm. Attenuation volumes and discharge rates calculated for the planning submission.

Reports and tenders

Inputs feeding analysis that writes calculation reports, tender packages and schedules.

Inputs
Reads what you already have. Analysis models, drawings, surveys and cost rates, with nothing typed in twice.
Analysis
Checks every element before it writes. Results are verified against the design code before a single page is drafted.
Reports
Calculation reports in your house style. Load paths, checks and sketches assembled into a submission-ready document.
Tenders
Tender packages drafted from the design. Scope, quantities and pricing schedules, built with the clients who use them every week.
Schedules
Schedules that update themselves. Member, reinforcement and pile schedules regenerate whenever the model changes.

We build custom software for civil, structural, and geotechnical engineering firms, contractors, developers, and manufacturers - turning manual workflows into powerful digital tools.

The struct.digital advantage

Combining software engineering best practices with core built environment domain experience.

Engineers who write software

Structural engineers first, developers second. We know SAP2000, ETABS, pile design and load cases from real projects, not from a brief.

Built around your practice

No off-the-shelf limits. Tools shaped to your calculation templates, design codes and sign-off process.

Connected to your models

Direct links to Revit, ETABS, SAP2000, Robot, SCIA and Tekla keep geometry, loads and results in step.

Supported like infrastructure

SLA-backed support, tested releases, and updates when codes, software versions or hardware change.

Whole-site analysis

Levels, plot areas, unit mix and density assessed across the entire development in one pass.

Drainage and SuDS sized early

Attenuation volumes and discharge rates ready for planning before the layout is fixed.

Faster tender packages

Scope, quantities and pricing schedules drafted from the design rather than retyped from drawings.

Fewer surprises on site

Foundations and services coordinated in the model, so changes land on screen instead of in the ground.

Reports that match the drawings

Calculation reports assembled from the same model as the drawings, so the two never disagree.

Schedules that stay current

Member, reinforcement and pile schedules regenerate whenever the design changes.

Checks for every stage

Design checks re-run as the construction sequence and temporary conditions change.

Handover-ready records

Every check, revision and assumption logged, ready for the as-built record.

As seen in.
