• Single Line Plan Input with graphical editor
• Plan Compatible with standard CAD Packages
• Slabs need not be Rectangle (any Polygon)
• Placement of Columns and Walls graphical
• Automatic numbering of beams & slabs
• Multiple Skew grid, Copy, Mirror, Rotate

In-built graphical editor of Build-Master is tailored for drawing single line floor plans. Drawing a plan with it is easier than drawing it in CAD Package. User has a flexibility to choose or switch over between packages, at any stage. Slab spanning, Wall data, door/window positions are defined on this plan. The main feature of this software is that it detects Beams and Slabs from line sketch itself. Further more user can give his own tags for beams and slabs (e.g. B1a, S1b etc.), instead of serial number.

Build-Master software has four main parts namely; Analysis, Design, Drawing and Estimation. The Drawing & Estimation options run independent of the Analysis & Design. Architects can make use of software for preparing Working Drawings and Contractors can use it only for the quantity estimation.

• Slab load distributed on adjacent beams
• Wall loads calculated using thicknesses
• Concept of Beam and Members
• Discontinuity considered for sunk slabs
• Column stiffness and beam torsion optional
• Loading, BMD, SFD and Deflection diagrams

Build-Master has a unique concept of Beams and Members. When a beam is divided into number of parts by cross beams, each part is called as a member. One beam can have 15 such members. Analysis is done for the members. While designing critical forces of all members of a beam are brought together and that Beam is designed as a single entity. Analysis of floors is done by grid analogy with stiffness matrix method.

• Generates Space Frames from plan data
• Transfers floor grid loads to frame members
• Automatic generation of Wind/Earthquake loads
• Horizontal loads can be applied at floor C.G.
• Building with split level plan or floating columns

Another main feature of the software is that it generates Space Frame from the plans entered at various levels. Frame Analysis is done for Load Cases of Dead Load, Live Load, Earthquake & Wind Loads.Program generates multiple Load Combinations out of them.

• Design by Limit State & Working Stress Method
• Design of Beams, Slabs, Columns & Footings
• Design outputs in Schedule & Detail format
• User specified list of bar combinations for steel
• Automatic and Interactive Design option
• Facility to check User entered design schedules

Slabs of One Way, Two Way or Cantilever types can be designed. Continuity of slabs detected from plan data itself.

Beams are designed as singly reinforced or doubly reinforced section. Availability of flange effect is detected from plan. Bottom bars can be either Bent-Up or Curtailed Type. Depth of both adjacent beams is considered while designing Support Steel at Top.

Columns are designed for slenderness and minimum eccentricity moments. Isolated Footings are designed with all possible worst loading combinations.

• Drawings in CAD formats compatible to CAD Package
• Working RCC floor plan with Column CentreLines
• Detail Architectural plan with opening positions
• Schedule Drawings and Foundation plan
• Beam Longitudinal Reinforcement Details
• 3 Dimensional schematic Building Elevation

Rcc floor plan generated by Build-Master contains beam, slab, column numbers and slab directions. External beam lines are drawn continuous and internal dotted. Lines around sunk slabs are continuous. Columns are drawn as per the sizes and flush positions given in data.

Three dimensional elevation of the building generated from the plan data at various levels. User need not give a single 3D line command.

Architectural drawing is with doors/windows markings and their working dimensions.
Room names and dimensions are also printed. Exact Column Centre line plan is created with grid numbers and cumulative grid distances from the corner of building.

• Concrete volumes and form-work areas
• Bar Bending Schedule of Reinforcement
• Diameter-wise break up of steel requirements
• Brickwork, plaster, flooring and skirting areas
• Quantity statement in conventional L-B-D format
• Cost estimate for user provided item rates.
