StrucPro Consultants: Pioneering Structural Engineering in India with a Focus on Efficiency and Accuracy

StrucPro Consultants, led by Prasad Shelar, is a well-established firm specializing in structural engineering in India. Based in Pune, the company offers design and analysis services for a range of building types, including residential, commercial, and industrial projects. As their business expanded, they realized the need for a software solution that could streamline their design processes. Moreover, they aimed to enhance accuracy, particularly for larger and more complex projects.

 

Meeting the Growing Demand: StrucPro Consultants’ Challenges in Structural Engineering in India

In 2023, StrucPro Consultants faced new challenges as the demand for structural engineering in India continued to grow. They needed to handle more complex projects with tighter deadlines. Their existing software was no longer sufficient to meet these demands. Therefore, they started looking for an integrated solution that could simplify their workflow, improve collaboration among the team, and support Building Information Modeling (BIM).

Solution: ProtaStructure Suite

In December 2023, StrucPro Consultants adopted ProtaStructure Suite, a tool specifically designed for structural engineering in India. This software, launched in the country, provided exactly what the firm needed. It integrated seamlessly with BIM and automated several design tasks, significantly improving their efficiency. According to Prasad Shelar, ProtaStructure not only enhanced design accuracy but also made overall project management much easier.

 

Key Project: Commercial Hostel RCC Building in Pune

A notable project where ProtaStructure made a significant impact was the Commercial Hostel RCC Building in Pune, covering 2500 sq.m. For this project, ProtaStructure’s ability to accurately calculate material quantities was highly valuable. Moreover, the software generated a Bar Bending Schedule (BBS), which was directly applied at the construction site. This feature greatly reduced manual calculations, a common task in structural engineering in India, and improved the project’s overall efficiency.

By providing precise material estimates, ProtaStructure helped the team stay within budget and complete the project on time. Therefore, StrucPro Consultants delivered a high-quality project while minimizing both errors and delays.

Results and Benefits

• Higher Accuracy: ProtaStructure enabled StrucPro Consultants to create highly accurate designs, which is crucial in structural engineering in India. This improved their overall project efficiency.
• Less Manual Work: Automated tools like the BBS reduced the need for manual calculations, saving time and reducing error rates.
• Faster Project Delivery: Streamlined workflows helped the team complete projects more quickly, which is increasingly important in the competitive field of structural engineering in India.
• BIM Integration: The software’s integration with BIM enhanced team coordination, ensuring smoother project execution.

Feedback from StrucPro Consultants

Prasad Shelar praised ProtaStructure’s BIM integration, automated detailing, and accurate material calculations as the most valuable features. These tools have significantly reduced manual work and helped improve project delivery times, which are critical factors in structural engineering in India.

However, he suggested that ProtaStructure could further improve by focusing more on Indian building codes and providing enhanced support tailored to local requirements. This, he believes, would allow them to work even more efficiently and improve their overall experience.

 

Looking Ahead

StrucPro Consultants plans to continue using ProtaStructure Suite for their ongoing and future projects. The team is eager to explore even more of the software’s capabilities, which will further enhance their role in structural engineering in India. Despite encountering a few technical issues, they remain optimistic that Prota’s support team will help resolve them quickly. Consequently, they expect to utilize the software more effectively as they move forward.
