Automatically update your designs and specifications to meet building code requirements. FRAMECAD® software is available in multiple languages, with design codes for America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand / Pacific, Europe, Russia, Brazil, South America and China.
Our unique, fully-integrated computer aided engineering (CAE) software package saves you time and money by automating manual design and engineering calculations.
Framing can be shown in a virtual walk-through format, so your design team can check for design errors in order to eliminate on-site correction time.

Intelligent FRAMECAD® software makes engineering, designing and detailing your projects fast, simple and highly accurate, maximizing ROI and producing quality buildings. You can design and detail all steel components together and complete over 25,000 calculations per square meter of roof and walls in seconds; a task which would take days or potentially weeks if done manually.
FRAMECAD® software offers world-leading detailing flexibility. Its user interface is based on standard CAD software packages, making it quick and easy to produce details for automated production.
FRAMECAD® software can be customized to suit your production facility. Default settings can be modified, and the programs can be loaded with multiple building codes. They also come with a range of loading standards, as well as imperial and metric options.
Using the FRAMECAD® system simplifies on-site construction. Roll forming machines pre-cut, form, punch, number and label frames and parts, so no welding, cutting or riveting is needed on-site. Assembly is easy with common tools and unskilled labor.
Implementing the FRAMECAD® system allows for:
The FRAMECAD® system is a design-led process that shifts the skill of the construction process upstream, with emphasis on the design phase. It produces highly accurate frame measurements so errors are significantly reduced. There is no wait time for re-measuring, re-cutting or re-assembling.
Cold formed steel construction and processes are increasingly used by building companies all around the world. The versatile nature of cold formed steel and the FRAMECAD® system allows the rapid and effective construction of mid-rise and residential buildings, warehousing, commercial buildings, facades, modular buildings, pods and more.
Design and construction flexibility is enabled with the FRAMECAD® system – delivering web joists, trusses, structural framing and internal partitioning suitable for a diverse range of construction types. Because of the time saving and quality assurance gained across a wide selection of applications, it's obvious why FRAMECAD® is The Way the World Constructs.
