Problem
Designing code-compliant seismic restraints for ceiling and partition systems in commercial interiors is a complex and time-consuming process, often requiring specialized engineering expertise. Traditional methods can lead to delays in project timelines and increased costs due to manual calculations and documentation.
Solution
PRENGUIN is a cloud-based platform that streamlines the design and certification of seismic restraints for commercial interiors. The platform enables users to generate preliminary designs and documentation for code compliance. Users can import drawings, mark up interior building elements, and engineer designs with confidence based on industry experience and peer review. PRENGUIN also facilitates engagement with professional engineering partners for certified PS1 sign-off and navigation of complex design challenges.
Target Audience
The primary users are construction professionals, including quantity surveyors, architects, project managers, suppliers, installers, engineers, and regulators involved in commercial interior design and construction.
