Help guide
New to BuildMetrics? Here is where everything lives.
Projects
Everything is organised into projects. Guided setup fills in a sourced design basis for the kind of structure, so every calculation in the project draws on the same loads and materials.
Reports in the Studio
A report is a sequence of sections — design basis, calculations, notes, checks summary. Add them from the outline, run each calculation, and press Doc view (P) to see the finished document.
Calculators
Fifteen Eurocode calculators, with the National Annex your project chooses (UK, or the EN recommended values). Each shows its clause beside every check; use one on its own from Calculators, then add it to a report.
Check, approve, issue
Submit a report for an independent check; the checker raises findings and checks it; an approver approves; then it is issued as a fixed revision with an issue hash.
Documents
Every issued revision across your projects, with PDF and Word downloads. Paste an issue hash under Verify to confirm a document is genuine and current.
Your letterhead
Set your firm’s name, address and contact details once under Organisation → General. Every report carries them; BuildMetrics appears only as fine print.
How to issue your first report
Five steps from a blank screen to an issued, letterheaded calculation report.
Create a project
On Projects choose New project, pick what you are designing, and confirm the design basis it suggests.
Write the report
Open the starter report (or start one), add calculation sections from the outline, enter your inputs and press Calculate.
Look at the document
Press Doc view to see the report exactly as it will be issued, on your letterhead.
Submit for check
Choose a checker who did not write it. They check every calculation, raise findings and mark it checked; an approver then approves.
Issue and send
Choose the purpose of issue, download the PDF or Word file, and send a transmittal. The issued revision can be downloaded again at any time from Documents.
Documentation
Deeper references for the calculators and the workflow.
Tutorials
Worked walkthroughs of common calculations and the check-and-issue workflow.
