The moment you’ve been waiting for is here.
After a successful 6-month beta program working closely with leading engineers and suppliers, we are thrilled to announce the official launch of SPEC Toolbox in the USA and Canada TODAY.
Over the last six months, your invaluable feedback has been instrumental in refining our tools to help scale mass timber projects across North America. We’ve been hard at work developing new, regionally relevant features for CLT, Glulam, and Connections design, and this is just the beginning.
Thank you to all our beta partners for their invaluable contributions. Your collaboration has helped us build a platform that truly solves the technical challenges of modern timber design.
For now we can proudly say, hit the link below to access the software!
CLT & Glulam Design Calculators
Our new design modules are now accessible entirely for free for NDS & CSA.
- CLT Floor Design : Our floor calculator includes detailed analysis , multiple vibration design methods , and integrated educational resources. Once your design is complete, you can print simple or detailed PDF reports.
- CLT Wall Design: The wall calculator provides detailed calculations and streamlines the design process, allowing you to account for out-of-plane loading and eccentricities.
- Glulam Beam Design: Detailed design with manual input or your favourite suppliers, intuitive inputs, and detailed printing.
- Glulam Column Design: Intuitive inputs with connecting beams purpose-built for mass timber buildings, dynamic eccentricities, and detailed printing.
Screw Connection Calculators
Connections have always been considered the hardest part of timber engineering. We’ve dedicated ourselves to solving this challenge and making it easy.
Our new screw module simplifies the complexity by taking into consideration:
- Material selections including: CLT, steel, glulam, LVL & more
- Flexible selections of end grain vs side grain
- Design codes NDS 2018 (& 2024 soon), CSA 2018 & CSA 2024
- Educational design alongside brittle failure modes
- Simple or detailed PDF reports as outputs
- Supply chain product availability & ICCs
These are integrated with our CLT & Glulam Design partners also.
And We’re Just Getting Started
This is just the beginning. We’re dedicated to building the most comprehensive suite of tools to make mass timber design easy. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in development and coming soon to the platform.
We are committed to our mission of building tools that empower engineers to specify the materials of the future with confidence.
