GAP Ltd have a full range of analysis and design software allowing us to accurately analyse forces and design structures in all materials including concrete, steel and timber to create efficient and economical structures.

As the capability of computer programs has increased so GAP have kept pace with the technical advances purchasing the latest software packages for 3D design of structures.

For concrete structures we have Scia Engineer which provides finite element analysis of structures allowing efficient design of concrete framed buildings, flat slab design and transfer slab design. Scia links to the powerful CADS software for fast design of all RC beams, columns, pile caps and pad foundations.

For steelwork building design we have CSC Fastrak Building Designer. This program allows us to build a 3D model of the building with floors, roofs and walls applied to the steel frame. The loadings from these elements can then be applied and even the wind loadings are calculated.

Fastrak is used by the majority of the leading steelwork fabricators to provide a fast and efficient design for steel framed buildings. GAP Ltd have been employed by various steelwork fabricators to provide a structural design service. Fabricators also use GAP Ltd to provide scheme designs to for competitive tendering, using Building Designer allows us to provide light, efficient solutions.

Recent investment into the Masterseries and Tedds suites of software has expanded our efficiency in the design of many more structural materials too.
