New CLT Toolbox free edition for Australian engineers

Friday 30 Aug 2024

 
Australian Engineers can now design mass timber buildings for FREE! We’ve made five calculators free that allow you to design various mass timber structures, including apartments, hotels, offices, and more.  

We’re excited to announce the launch of a free version of CLT Toolbox. This means users can now access our mass timber design tools without any upfront cost. These calculators empower you to design everything from office buildings to apartments with ease.  

“There are over 10,000 structural engineers in Australia, yet only a small fraction specialise in timber,” said CLT Toolbox CEO, Adam Jones. “Our mission is to close this gap by equipping engineers with the tools and knowledge to confidently design with timber, ensuring they can offer sustainable options to their clients.  

In Australia, the free version offers essential features for member design, calculating loads, and evaluating the structural integrity of timber elements. With this comprehensive suite of tools, engineers can perform preliminary designs for entire mass timber office or apartment buildings. The software’s embedded educational resources and automated design computations are designed to guide even novice engineers to produce expert-level structural designs. 

CLT Toolbox’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond just offering software. “We are committed to growing Australia’s mass timber category by educating concrete and steel specialists on the benefits of timber. By broadening the skill sets of engineers, CLT Toolbox ensures that when a client seeks a sustainable option, engineers are equipped to deliver,” said Jones.
