G-0.0About Strux Labs
We're structural engineers who build software — not the other way around.
G-1.0Who we are
STRUX LABS · EST. BY PRACTITIONERS
Strux Labs is a software company built by structural engineers. Before this, we spent years running the same workflow as everyone else in our field: import plans into one program, run calcs in a spreadsheet, cross-reference reactions by hand, and cobble together a submittal package from three different tools.
We kept saying, "Someone should build a tool that just lets you draw the structure on the plans and does the calcs right there." Eventually we realized that someone was going to have to be us.
StruxDraft is the result — a purpose-built desktop application that combines structural drafting and design checking in one place. Its features exist because we hit real problems in our own practice and wrote the solutions.
G-2.0Our mission
So engineers can spend their time engineering, not managing files.
GENERAL NOTES · SHEET G-2.0
NOTE 01
Supported calculations are traceable to published standards — NDS, ACI 318, ASCE 7 — with selectable editions per project. Review the variables, adjustment factors, and load combinations for each check.
NOTE 02
The engine runs on your machine. Supported design checks run in real time across applicable load combinations and adjustment factors as you work.
NOTE 03
We use StruxDraft every day on real projects. When something doesn't work well, we feel it immediately — and fix it. Our roadmap is driven by actual engineering workflows, not feature checklists.

G-4.0Field notes
FIELD NOTES
"We got tired of opening a beam in a spreadsheet, typing in the span, typing in the loads we just calculated two minutes ago, then copying the result back into our plans. If the loads changed, we'd have to do it all over again. There had to be a better way."
The fundamental problem is that structural drafting and structural design have always been separate. You draw in one place and calculate in another. Reactions don't flow automatically. When something changes, you update manually everywhere. Mistakes hide in the gaps between tools.
StruxDraft eliminates those gaps. When you place a beam on the plan, it already knows its span. When you connect joists to that beam, the tributary loads calculate automatically. When you change a joist spacing, the beam recalculates in real time. The engineering stays connected to the drawing — because that's how it should work.
