Our mission
Rebuilding structural engineering with AI
Structural engineering today is still manual and human-dependent, and it shows up as long permitting cycles, delayed construction, and higher project costs. Steel AI runs the engineering workflow with AI, and licensed engineers review and sign it. What you get back are structural designs ready for permit and construction in hours instead of months. Today that starts with automated reinforcement drawings.
Audience
Built for developers and the engineers who serve them
Real estate developers
Faster permitting and lower total project cost, so you start construction sooner.
Structural engineering firms
Automate production drafting and deliver more projects with the same team.
General contractors
Construction-ready drawings and faster turnaround on engineering changes.
Design firms & architects
Structural answers earlier in the design cycle, before decisions get expensive.

Roadmap
What we are building
Now
Working prototype
Automated reinforcement drawings generated straight from a static structural schema (DXF/DWG). We're validating the outputs with design partners right now.
Next
Commercial V1
60 to 80% of structural engineering work automated, covering the full workflow from structural scheme through calculations to reinforcement drawings, with our first engineering design partners.
Then
AI-native engineering-as-a-service
Licensed engineer review and sign-off built in, multi-state and multi-code support, and portfolio-wide agreements with developers.
Pilot program
Steel AI is in a closed pilot right now. Outputs use a standardized template while we validate the full engine with design partners. We're collecting feedback along the way to shape where the product goes next.
