In a move that looks set to revolutionise workflows across the construction engineering sector, engineering and structural design software specialists ClearCalcs has announced an industry-first partnership with Standards Australia which will allow ClearCalcs users to access and validate their calculations against all Australian Standards which are primary references in the National Construction Code – seamlessly and in real-time. It is the first time that these guidelines for the construction and engineering industry have been available in a digitally integrated format.
Launched in 2017 by co-founders Chris Borzillo and Steven Robinson, ClearCalcs is a fast-growing Australian startup with an established presence locally and in the US, Canada, Europe, and New Zealand. The ClearCalcs platform houses a comprehensive library of purpose-built calculator tools that enable engineers, architects and building designers to better determine the structural requirements for their projects.
Now, thanks to the ground-breaking new partnership with Standards Australia, the ClearCalcs platform also allows users to integrate relevant Australian Standards directly into their engineering workflow. As well as promoting stronger adoption of industry best practice and conformance with Australian Standards, this partnership is also intended to encourage engineers to more safely and confidently explore new ideas and concepts.
The ClearCalcs platform has been designed to provide engineers and designers with a robust, reliable and user-friendly ‘single point of truth’ for all of their engineering calculations. The eng-tech software enables engineers and architects to streamline their calculations across a single platform. It delivers instant results across a broad range of design calculations, from the building’s roof to its foundations for a range of material types, providing unparalleled insight and accuracy to the engineering process.
Delivered as a SaaS (Software as a Service) platform, ClearCalcs allows users to work effectively from any location, providing standards-based calculations for Australia and New Zealand, as well as Europe and North America. The platform houses a comprehensive library of mission-critical calculation tools that enable engineers, architects and building designers to better determine the structural requirements for their projects. As a result, ClearCalcs is confident that users are able to design and build safe, compliant structures with speed, accuracy and flexibility.
“One of the things that engineers love about working with us, is that we enable them to trial new and different materials and solutions that would have previously been too time-consuming or costly to consider,” said ClearCalcs CEO and co-founder Chris Borzillio.
“Having access to up-to-date Australian Standards plays a vital role in giving engineers the confidence to adopt new methods and materials,” he said.
While ClearCalcs now has several thousand engineers using the platform globally, the recent integration of Australian Standards into the platform will no doubt prove to be a ‘game-changer’ – not only for ClearCalcs, but for the construction engineering sector as a whole.
“The standards rollout has been in beta testing since January, and the feedback so far has been phenomenal, especially from senior engineers who keep commenting on its potential to swiftly educate juniors,” Chris said.
“With our tools, engineers are able to quickly calculate their specific and comprehensive engineering needs, reducing the time it takes for projects to move from concept to reality. With Australian Standards now a core part of our functionality, the credibility and value of our service will only grow,” he added.
