Structural Design Challenges for Australian Engineers
Structural design in Australia is governed by a well-defined set of local standards where confidence in Australian Standards is critical for delivering certifiable design. From load assessment through to final documentation, engineers require software that’s not only powerful but fully aligned with Australian Standards such as AS/NZS 1170, AS 4100, AS 3600 and more.
Unfortunately, many Australian engineering workflows still rely on multiple tools, manual verification steps and supplementary spreadsheets to ensure full compliance and clear documentation leading to duplication and rework between analysis, design and reporting
SkyCiv is built differently. Offering a combination of structural analysis, Australian standards-compliant design and concise reporting within a single cloud-based platform - helping engineers move efficiently from analysis to design with confidence
Built by Australians for Australian engineers, SkyCiv is quality tested and trusted by local engineers who understand the nuances of Australian standards, projects conditions and engineering practise. Backed by responsive support from an Australian-based team - providing timely, practical assistance when it matters.
