Solution Details

Structural engineers discover framing issues related to modeling, constructability, and engineering for why steel cannot be connected. This includes detecting and documenting joints requiring special reinforcement such as doublers and stiffeners.  

Sustainability Outcomes

Qnect optimizes steel material and delivery to reduce embodied carbon. By simplifying complex connections and reducing waste from RFIs and extras, engineers can save at least 5% of the structural steel embodied carbon. Qnect's strategy is to extend this capability to optimize steel connections and framing by providing cost-carbon analytics in Revit.
