CalcTree

Bringing engineering teams, design and calculations together.

Engineers want to optimize their calculations to produce the most efficient designs possible. CalcTree is a platform to help them succeed. We let engineers transform tools they already love into intelligent, trusted calculations. Allowing teams to work more efficiently and consistently without leaving their comfort zones.

Engineers make repetitive calculations daily. These are created in isolation, often duplicating efforts across different teams and offices. They face fragmented and isolated toolsets, disconnected calculations, and endless scenario analyses.

The cost of errors made by an engineer adds up quickly on projects. Design cycle lag and calculation errors at the desk can cost up to 14% of the project value. With the average infrastructure project costing billions, the impact is staggering. No engineer wants to be the one to make a costly error.

We want to help engineers be safer and more effective by changing how we design buildings. Through better workflow and IP management, CalcTree minimizes time waste and errors at the desk. Improving how the sector tackles complex projects.

What’s the problem we’re solving?

Complex processes, misaligned stakeholder groups and resource constraints make design difficult. But fragmented software, staff turnover and regulations, make it almost impossible to innovate.

For the sector, this results in errors and wasted time & resources. For engineers, it's frustration, stress and asymmetric liability exposure.

While current technology solutions have focused on creating isolated tools and ecosystems. This takes design power and freedom away from engineers. To overcome this, engineers are forced to break the intended processes of these tools. This is a slow process and drives fragmentation and confusion in the design.

The fundamental issues created here ripple throughout a project. The data fragmentation and calculation misalignment cause errors and missed information. This erodes the accuracy of decision making and can cause high consequence mistakes.

How we’re fixing this

CalcTree integrates engineers' preferred design methods into robust calculation blocks. This allows teams to build verified repositories of tools and workflows. These blocks are indexed and tagged allowing them to stay in sync across projects and teams.

CalcTree lets users adjust and string blocks together to quickly create advanced designs while still achieving rigorous QA. This unleashes engineers to focus on actual design while CalcTree takes care of everything else.

• For engineers, this means more time designing and less time searching for, verifying and re-building calculations.

• For firms, this means better IP management, simplified yet more rigorous QA and better staff utilisation.

• For projects, this means reduced design cycle lag, more consistent project data and, critically, fewer errors.
