We design steel and concrete structures with special emphasis on modularization and staged construction for critical projects.  We invested a decent amount of time and resources in studying and understanding which software packages will do justice for the design of various structural components and have acquired them or are in the process to do so. One thing we do differently from conventional engineering firms is that we let the software packages ‘talk’ to each other using APIs/plugins to ensure seamless communication as well as avoid repetitive design processes. Do check our page “How we do, what we do?”.

One of the critical stages of a construction project is the sequence of construction followed to erect the structure. Based on the client’s need and understanding we provide advisory services with requisite technical documentation consisting of computations, drawings, animations, etc which help contractors in ensuring the structure withstands the envisaged stresses during transport, lifting, and partial installation.

We leverage the strength of parametric tools to engineer structures that require special attention in terms of modelling, analysis, design and optimization. Space structures, custom connections, structural optimization, etc come under this category.

Structural problems requiring a finite element solution like machine foundations, capturing localized effects on structural members using plate modelling, raft foundations design, non-linear solutions are some of the domains in which we have our fingers dipped. Do get in touch with us with your needs and we will ‘mesh’ the heck out of it!

We are adept at creating macro empowered spreadsheets to quicken your design process and also write custom windows platform-based software. These products can be designed to communicate with third-party software like SAP2000/STRAND 7 to perform analysis &/or design and extract results back into the software/spreadsheet. This frees up the end-user from repeating cumbersome, error-prone procedures, thus ensuring that one can actually concentrate on actual engineering and its result interpretation/optimization. 

We offer training services for using analysis and design software like SAP2000 & Idea Statica, Excel VBA for spreadsheet preparation and programming language (c#) from a structural engineering perspective. Drop us a mail with your training requirements we will provide a tailor-made solution.

We provide 3D modelling and rendering services for residential projects. We primarily use Sketchup, V-Ray and 3Ds Max to generate pleasing virtual models. This service shall be made available from late 2024.

We are planning to provide mixed reality services (renting & consulting) for the 3D models using TRIMBLE products. This service shall be made available from late 2024.
