The modules

Every step from plan to issued report

Five modules in one workspace. Start with the calculators and add what each project needs.

  • The Internal Wall Framing calculator: a table of walls with wind pressure, stud selection, spacing and a pass or fail result for each row

    Calculators

    Free

    Quick checks for internal walls, external walls and suspended ceilings, with results you can print. The rest of the framing calculators unlock on Pro.

  • The Loading step: the site wind region and seismic hazard, a 3D model of the building and a table of floors with governing pressures

    Wind & Seismic Loads

    Pro

    Wind and seismic loading for the whole building, shown level by level in 3D.

  • SmartSpec with a 3D wall system and its layers, an indicative cost per square metre and the framing check for each level

    SmartSpec

    Pro

    Build wall and ceiling systems from product libraries, then design their framing to Australian standards.

  • SmartQuote with walls, ceilings and openings detected on a floor plan and a priced take-off table beneath it

    SmartQuote

    Premium

    Detect walls, ceilings and openings from PDF plans, price the take-off, and issue the report for the engineer to review.

  • The Walls and ceilings workspace with the calculators, the six project stages and a list of projects

    Workspace

    Pro

    One project, six stages from drawings to certification, with every step saved to the job.
