SmartBuild Systems + StruxSure Plans

Built in SmartBuild.
Coordinated Through StruxSure.

You built the model, developed the material list, priced the package, and prepared the quote. Don’t start over when the project moves into structural plans.

Send the current SmartBuild job to StruxSure. We’ll use its geometry, openings, roof layout, and project data as input, then coordinate the structural drafting, engineering review, revisions, and final plan set in one job.

  • ✓ StruxSure Plans is a SmartBuild partner.
  • ✓ SmartBuild Systems and StruxSure Plans are separate companies.

Why the partnership matters

Keep the work you’ve already done.

SmartBuild helps you model the building, develop material lists, set pricing, prepare proposals, and create useful construction information. It can carry a lot of project data before our structural plan work begins.

That job gives us a strong starting point. You don’t need to re-enter the building geometry or explain every opening again. We can also compare the current model with supplier files and catch an outdated layout.

The SmartBuild job is not a sealed structural plan by itself. We use it to establish the drafting scope, identify missing design criteria, and begin the licensed engineer review process.

What SmartBuild helps you do

Sell and plan the building in one model.

  • Set the building size and wall height
  • Pick roof shapes, pitches, overhangs, and lean-tos
  • Place doors and windows
  • Show the building in 3D
  • Build material lists
  • Set pricing and create proposals
  • Make useful construction information
  • Share the current project with your team

The tools you get may change by plan and company setup.

What StruxSure adds

One clear plan step.

  • Review the current SmartBuild job and site
  • Identify missing design criteria and conflicting files
  • Set the structural scope and price
  • Coordinate drafting and licensed engineer review
  • Track revisions, questions, and current file versions
  • Coordinate plan-review comments included in the scope
  • Deliver the sealed structural documents included in the quote

You keep control of the customer, model, sale, and build.

How the handoff works

From the builder’s model to the structural plan set.

01

Build the job in SmartBuild

Set the size, roof, walls, doors, windows, lean-tos, and other project choices.

02

Send the current job to StruxSure

Send the current SmartBuild job and site address. Add the building use, truss package, supplier drawings, and any special loading information you have.

03

Get a clear structural scope

We’ll define the structural scope, show the price, and list any missing design criteria or project files.

04

We coordinate the structural plans

We coordinate the structural draft, design questions, revisions, and licensed engineer review in the same job.

05

Get the final structural set

The licensed engineer reviews and seals the structural work. We deliver the plan set included in your quote, ready for permit review.

Builder and supplier value

Keep the model working for the whole job.

For builders

The gain is simple. There is less repeat work, less runaround, and a better chance that the structural plans will stay tied to the building they sold.

For suppliers

Clean job facts help. Parts, truss, and plan files are easier to match. SmartBuild also gives suppliers a practical starting point for offering structural plan support without staffing a drafting and engineering department.

For both, the SmartBuild work stays useful. It does not turn into a picture that must be drawn again.

Companies we work with

Built around real industry relationships.

FAQ

SmartBuild FAQ

Is SmartBuild a StruxSure product?

No. SmartBuild Systems is a separate company. StruxSure Plans is a SmartBuild partner.

Does SmartBuild make my sealed structural plans?

SmartBuild organizes the building model and project data. StruxSure uses that information to establish the structural scope and coordinate drafting with licensed engineer review. A licensed engineer reviews the design and seals the final documents.

Do I need SmartBuild to use StruxSure?

No. You can send a supplier file, IdeaRoom design, old plan, quote, or sketch. SmartBuild gives us a strong starting point when you already use it.

Can StruxSure use my current SmartBuild job?

Yes. Send the current job and site information. We’ll review it and tell you what is still needed for the quoted structural work.

Will I have to redraw the whole building?

Not in most cases. We’ll use the SmartBuild job as project input. Some details may still need to be added or changed for the structural plan set.

Does the partnership promise permit approval?

No. We prepare the structural set for permit review, but the local building department makes the final decision.

Already have a SmartBuild job?

Send the current model and site. We’ll help move it into the structural plan process without taking it away from your workflow.
