Built by people who have lost an afternoon looking for the right revision
Equilibris was born inside the routine of structural design: the report in an editor, the arithmetic in a sheet, the model in a file somebody renamed, and the site calling to confirm what had already been decided. The product exists so that this information has one place, with a history.
What brought us here
Structural design does not suffer from a shortage of analysis software. It suffers because the result of the analysis scatters into files that do not talk to each other. Every model revision calls for manual rechecking, and the traceability the report needs is rebuilt at the end, from memory.
This is not a problem of team discipline. It is a problem of infrastructure.
One versioned project, from the office to the site
If report, sheet, model and requirement live under the same versioned project, two things stop being work: proving which version counts, and answering a question about the project.
And it reaches the site: the person holding the tool needs the right answer too, in site language.
Three principles that are not up for negotiation
- 01
The data belongs to the firm
Open formats in and out: the report leaves as .docx, the sheet as .xlsx, requirements as IDS and divergences as BCF.
- 02
Nothing stated without a source
Every answer the system gives carries its origin. We would rather say there is no record than hand over a plausible number.
- 03
The engineering decision is human
The system organises, checks and traces. Sizing, accepting and releasing remain acts of the responsible engineer.
The product's interface is in Brazilian Portuguese
This site is in English, and the product is not, yet: screens, menus and messages are in Brazilian Portuguese, and so are the standards it ships configured with, such as NBR 13531 and Lei 14.133. RIBA stages are in there as well.
We would rather say so here than let you find out after signing up. If English in the product is what stands between your office and using it, tell us in the first conversation: that answer changes what we build next.
