Description

Stratus is an innovative cloud-based platform designed to streamline construction workflows and fabrication management for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing contractors, seamlessly integrating design, fabrication, shop production, and field operations into one cohesive system. By eliminating the need for disjointed paper and PDF processes, it enhances efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration among teams. The platform is compatible with leading industry CAD and BIM software, including Revit, AutoCAD, and Autodesk Fabrication tools, allowing contractors to transform digital models into fabricable work packages, create cut lists, generate bills of materials, and produce automated labels. Moreover, it facilitates direct data transfer to shop equipment without the necessity for manual translation, which significantly minimizes errors and rework, thereby increasing speed and precision on the shop floor. Stratus also centralizes essential functions such as project planning, custom work package creation, real-time tracking, and material management, providing teams with comprehensive visibility into productivity and progress. This integrated approach not only optimizes operations but also fosters a collaborative environment where teams can work more effectively towards their project goals.

Description

h2x is an engineering design and calculation platform developed for mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and fire protection professionals. The software enables users to design building services systems while automatically calculating pipe sizes, duct dimensions, flow rates, velocities, and pressure losses. Its HVAC design tools support heating and cooling load calculations, ductwork layouts, hydronic systems, and equipment sizing. Plumbing capabilities include domestic water distribution, wastewater drainage, stormwater systems, and gas pipework design. Fire protection design features support sprinkler, hydrant, and hose system layouts and hydraulic sizing calculations. The platform connects engineering calculations directly to system drawings, allowing design changes to trigger automatic recalculation of affected components. Users can review systems in a 3D environment to identify potential coordination issues and evaluate system performance. h2x generates technical reports, branded PDF drawings, bills of materials, and files compatible with AutoCAD and Autodesk Revit. Its integrated workflow helps engineering consultants, contractors, and building services designers manage system calculations, technical documentation, and design coordination.
