Platform

One platform for building engineering.

Hexanta is being built to support the engineering of buildings across disciplines, from first calculations to coordinated models, drawings and reports. Each capability below carries its current status.

Demonstrated
Shown end to end in our technical demonstrations on synthetic or hypothetical projects. Not yet generally available.
In development
Under active development. Early studies exist; results are not yet validated for project use.
Planned
Within the platform's intended scope. Not yet built.

Engineers stay in control.

  • Proposals, not approvals

    Hexanta outputs are engineer-reviewed proposals. Engineers remain responsible for checking and approving every design decision and every issued document.

  • Demonstrations are synthetic

    Projects shown in our demonstrations are synthetic or hypothetical. They are not real buildings or client projects, and illustrative costs are not verified market prices.

  • Honest about status

    Where a capability is in development or planned, we say so. Nothing on this page is offered as generally available today.
