Problem
The process of structural engineering for construction projects, particularly for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), is often slow and expensive, requiring engineers to use multiple siloed tools for design, calculation, and drawing. This results in lengthy wait times and high costs for permit-ready structural deliverables.
Solution
SADE (Structural Analysis & Design Engine) offers an AI-driven platform that automates structural analysis, report generation, and drawing creation, significantly reducing the time and cost associated with structural engineering. The platform uses AI to interpret architectural plans, perform gravity, lateral, and foundation calculations, and generate structural reports and drawings. SADE's engineers then review the automated design, make necessary adjustments, and stamp the report, delivering permit-ready documents in as little as two days at a reduced cost.
Target Audience
SADE primarily serves architects, builders, homeowners, and structural engineers seeking faster and more affordable structural engineering services, particularly for ADU projects.
