About

SDS2 is an all-in-one steel detailing and connection-design software platform built to help detailers, fabricators, and structural engineers deliver accurate, fabrication-ready steel models and drawings with speed, automation, and integration. It supports modular packages, from basic 2D drafting to full 3D modeling plus shop-drawing generation, enabling users to create precise shop drawings, erection drawings, or full BIM models depending on their needs. SDS2 features automated connection design calibrated to framing conditions and fabrication preferences, intelligent clash detection, and live multi-user modeling so teams can collaborate in real time without conflicting data. It produces high-quality, code-compliant documentation and delivers production-ready output that can feed fabrication equipment or support CNC/automated workflows. SDS2 also interoperates with major BIM and fabrication-management systems via standard file formats.

About

Stratus is a cloud-based construction workflow and fabrication management platform built specifically for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing contractors that unifies design, fabrication, shop production, and field operations into a single connected system, eliminating disconnected paper and PDF workflows while boosting efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration across teams. It integrates directly with industry CAD and BIM software such as Revit, AutoCAD, and Autodesk Fabrication tools so contractors can convert digital models into fabricable work packages, generate cut lists, BOMs, and automated labels, and send data directly to shop equipment without manual translation, reducing errors and rework while improving speed and precision on the shop floor. Stratus centralizes project planning, custom work package creation, real-time tracking, material management, and status reporting so teams have visibility into productivity and progress.
