01 / DESIGN
Start with the whole house.
Begin with the site, the entry and how people move through the home. The building model connects the spaces to the structure.
Residential design · Structural engineering
Built around
the whole code.
We’re developing a connected approach to residential design, structural analysis and drawing production — with the whole code in view and one building model linking the work.

1 story residence.
Explore the structure.
Step inside a draft residential building model. Orbit the house, switch between plan and elevation views, and cut through the structure to see how the parts connect.
The viewer includes the residence and a door variant. Both views come from the existing building model; this showcase is a work in progress.
DRAFT — NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION
For visual exploration. Design approval and code compliance are not established by this viewer.
Look through the model.

Our approach
Design, engineering and drawings.
Connected from the start.
02 / ENGINEERING
Follow the load path.
Trace loads from roof to foundation. Keep calculations, design inputs and code references connected to the elements they describe.
03 / DRAWINGS
Keep the story consistent.
Produce views and drawing sets from the same model, so changes can be carried through the design rather than copied between disconnected files.
About CFE
Better built capital.
Better places to live.
Code Focused Engineering focuses on residential structures and the information needed to design and document them.
Our aim is to make the built environment contribute more to people’s health, well-being and opportunity. We’re building the tools and practice around that goal.
What’s next
A foundation for what comes next.
The 1 story residence is now available as a draft 3D showcase. We’ll share further project examples and service details as they become available.
