StructSuite — The New Standard in Wood Structural Design Software
Cloud-native structural engineering for modern wood design
StructSuite is a next-generation, cloud-native structural engineering platform built to modernize wood design. Created by structural engineers and plan check professionals, StructSuite replaces outdated desktop tools with a faster, clearer, code-aligned workflow for today's building standards and approval processes—centered on NDS 2024, 2024 IBC where applicable, and ASCE 7-22 for environmental loads.
Our mission is simple: help engineers design faster, document clearly, and get approvals sooner.
Why StructSuite Exists
Traditional engineering software hasn't kept pace with modern construction demands. Engineers and reviewers still struggle with:
- Slow, outdated desktop workflows
- Black-box calculations with limited transparency
- Fragmented alignment across NDS 2024, 2024 IBC, and ASCE 7-22
- Time-consuming plan check revisions
- Inconsistent documentation and unclear assumptions in calc packages
StructSuite addresses these with a unified, cloud-based platform built for speed, clarity, and approval efficiency.
A Modern Engineering Platform Built for Real-World Practice
Comprehensive Wood Structural Design
StructSuite targets wood and related structural work using adopted code editions, including:
- NDS 2024 (National Design Specification for Wood Construction) for wood member design
- 2024 IBC structural provisions where the modules apply them (e.g., wood, deflection limits)
- ASCE 7-22 for wind loads, seismic loads, snow, and load combinations as implemented in each workflow
- SDPWS 2021 (Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic) and NDS 2024 for wood-frame shear wall design where applicable
- ACI 318-25 for concrete foundation modules where the tool cites that edition
Core Engineering Capabilities
- Wood beam design per NDS 2024 (bending, shear, deflection, bearing)
- Wood column design per NDS 2024 (axial, stability, interaction checks)
- Wind and seismic lateral load development per ASCE 7-22 (not full three-dimensional lateral structural analysis)
- Gravity load summary and combinations per ASCE 7-22 as implemented
- Wood-frame shear wall design per SDPWS 2021 and NDS 2024
- Simpson Strong-Tie connection support: expanding across modules; select workflows already include tabulated connector and hold-down selection aligned with NDS 2024 and manufacturer data
Calculations are presented with traceable formulas, intermediate values, and citations to the relevant code sections (for example, NDS 2024, ASCE 7-22).
Simpson Strong-Tie Integration
StructSuite is adding Simpson Strong-Tie integration across modules so engineers can select and verify connectors inside the workflow, reduce manual lookups, and stay aligned with NDS 2024 and manufacturer criteria. Capabilities roll out module by module; check each design tool for current Simpson options.
Cloud-Native by Design
StructSuite is built for modern engineering teams:
- No installation or local updates to run the web application
- Access from any device with a browser
- High-performance, responsive interface
- Code logic and reference libraries maintained in the cloud
Cloud-saved projects and outputs are on the roadmap so teams can store calculation packages and revisions centrally—watch release notes for availability.
Firms gain a standardized workflow that works anywhere you can reach the app.
Plan-Check-Ready Documentation
StructSuite produces professional, reviewer-friendly calculation packages designed to reduce comments and accelerate approvals.
Each report includes:
- Step-by-step engineering calculations
- Clear assumptions and criteria
- Code references to NDS 2024, 2024 IBC, ASCE 7-22, and related standards as cited in the module output
- Transparent engineering logic
- Organized, easy-to-review formatting
Plan check engineers get clarity. Designers get fewer revisions. Firms get faster turnaround.

The StructSuite Advantage
StructSuite is cloud-based wood and light structural design software for engineers who need calculations aligned with NDS 2024, 2024 IBC, and ASCE 7-22: beam and column design, wind and seismic lateral load development, gravity and combination workflows, shear walls, and foundations—with Simpson Strong-Tie integration growing across the platform.
The Future of Wood Structural Design
StructSuite brings together engineering expertise and cloud delivery so teams can rely on one code-referenced environment for wood design under NDS 2024, 2024 IBC, and ASCE 7-22.
Design faster. Document clearly. Get approvals sooner.
StructSuite does not replace professional judgment or jurisdiction-specific requirements; always verify the adopted code cycle for your project.
