PT slab thickness estimator and design software
A quick first-pass slab thickness comparison for PT and RC, and the in-house tools we use to produce PT and RC packages faster. Estimates are indicative only.
Size the slab before you call.
Move the sliders. This runs the same scheme-stage rule set as the nine above — span/depth, load balancing and a minimum precompression floor — so you can see in ten seconds whether post-tensioning is worth the conversation.
Scheme-stage indication for an unbonded monostrand flat slab on a regular grid, load balanced at 70% of sustained load with a 0.86 MPa precompression floor. Not a design. Punching, transfer, restraint and deflection all still have to be checked properly.
Automation, built in-house.
Over twenty in-house applications sit behind the practice — reading model exports, running the code checks and writing the drawings. They remove the transcription step, which is where errors actually come from.
DXF → ETABS / RAM Concept
Reads AutoCAD geometry straight from the architectural DXF and builds the analysis model — slabs, beams, columns, walls and openings — without redrawing a line.
Tendon layout & chair profiles
Generates tendon runs, drape profiles and chair heights from the slab geometry, then writes them back into the drawing as real CAD entities.
Punching shear suite
Takes the RAM Concept punching export, runs the ACI 318-19 check and produces the stud-rail schedule and the detailing callouts on the plan.
Thickness & prestress optimiser
Sweeps slab thickness and prestress against deflection, punching and stress limits, driven directly from the live ETABS model through the API.
Rebar detailing engine
Converts required-reinforcement contours into practical bar marks, laps and schedules — drawn on the plan, not left as a table for someone else to interpret.
Beam & slab design generator
Full-span RC beam and slab design to ACI 318-19 or IS 456:2000, output as a dimensioned drawing with the calculation behind it.
Foundation layout generator
Preliminary isolated and combined footing layouts straight from the column load schedule, sized against the allowable bearing pressure.
Stressing & grouting records
Gauge-pressure calculation, measured elongation checked against theoretical, and the QC record set the authority asks to see.
Compliance statement builder
Turns an authority or consultant review-comment schedule into a structured, clause-referenced response document ready for resubmission.
Every tool runs offline — single-file HTML, or a Windows executable. Nothing leaves the office. Built for our own delivery first; where one is useful to a client's design office, we license or adapt it.
Buy the tools we design with.
The same applications that run behind our own delivery, licensed for your design office. Everything runs offline — a Windows executable or a single HTML file — so nothing about your project leaves your machine.
