Our mission
Rebuilding structural engineering with AI.
Our vision is simple: turn architectural plans into coordinated, construction-ready engineering drawings — with AI doing the production work and engineers staying in control.
Steel is building an AI-native workflow across structural design, calculations, reinforcement and construction drawings, with MEP and cross-discipline coordination to follow.
For engineering firms, that means automating 60–80% of the repetitive production work — so the same team can deliver more projects, faster.
Today, we're starting with automated reinforcement drawings.
Who Steel is for
Built for the people who design and build.
Steel brings AI-powered structural engineering across the building workflow — from early design decisions to construction-ready drawings.
Structural engineering firms
Automate structural design, calculations and drawings — reducing repetitive work and increasing project capacity.
Architects
Explore structural schemes earlier in the design process and reduce back-and-forth with structural engineers.
Builders
Get faster second opinions, value engineering and better-coordinated construction drawings before work reaches the field.
Founders

Pilot program · Partner with us
Build Steel around the way your engineers actually work.
We're partnering with a select group of structural engineering firms to build Steel on real projects — from structural design and calculations to reinforcement and construction drawings.
Bring us your workflows, projects and biggest bottlenecks. We'll work directly with your team to solve them.
Built around your workflow
Work directly with the Steel founding team to shape the workflows, outputs and integrations around how your firm actually operates.
Founding partner credits
