Engineering the Bones of Every Structure You Build

PakMEC's structural engineers turn architectural drawings into seismic-safe, code-compliant load analysis, RCC/steel framing designs, and construction-ready structural drawings — for houses, plazas, factories, and everything between.

Structural Design Capabilities

From first load calculation to the final stamped drawing — every structural discipline handled under one roof.

Structural Load Analysis

Dead, live, wind, and seismic load calculations that determine exactly how a structure carries and transfers force to the ground.

Core ServiceETABS
Seismic Safety & Zone Compliance

Designs checked against Pakistan's seismic zoning (BCP SP-2007 / UBC-97) so buildings perform when the ground moves, not just on paper.

Code Compliant
RCC & Steel Framing Design

Column, beam, slab and truss sizing with full reinforcement detailing for concrete and structural steel systems alike.

RCCSteel
Foundation Engineering

Shallow and deep foundation design sized to actual soil bearing capacity — footings, rafts, and pile systems.

Soil-Based
Structural Drafting & Detailing

Construction-ready rebar detailing, formwork, and shop drawings in AutoCAD and Revit for site execution teams.

AutoCADRevit
Multi-Tier & High-Rise Systems

Shear wall placement and vertical load-transfer design for multi-story buildings and housing societies.

High-Rise

Software & Codes We Follow

Every structural design is modeled, analyzed, and checked using industry-standard software against Pakistan's building codes.

ETABS3D structural analysis and design for building systems, including seismic response.
STAAD.ProLoad analysis and steel/concrete member design for frames and trusses.
SAFESlab and foundation design with accurate soil-structure interaction.
AutoCAD & RevitDetailed structural drawings, rebar layouts, and BIM coordination.

From Site Visit to Stamped Drawings

A structured six-stage process that takes a plot and an architectural plan to a fully engineered structural design.

01
Site Visit & Soil Data Review

Site inspection and review of soil investigation reports to establish actual bearing capacity.

1–2 Days
02
Preliminary Load Assessment

Estimating dead, live, wind and seismic loads based on the architectural layout and intended usage.

48 Hours
03
3D Structural Modeling & Analysis

Full building model in ETABS/STAAD to analyze member forces, deflections, and load paths.

3–5 Days
04
Seismic & Code Compliance Check

Cross-checking the design against BCP SP-2007 seismic zoning and applicable load codes.

2 Days
05
Structural Drawings & Rebar Detailing

Construction-ready drawings — column/beam schedules, footing details, rebar layouts.

4–6 Days
06
Review, Stamping & Handover

Final review by our licensed structural engineer, stamped drawings handed over for approval/construction.

1–2 Days

Built On the Right Framing System

We match the structural system to the building's height, span, budget, and site conditions.

RCC Frame Structure

Reinforced concrete columns, beams and slabs — the standard for homes and mid-rise buildings.

Typical Span4–8 m
Best ForResidential
Steel Structure

Structural steel framing for warehouses, factories and long-span industrial sheds.

Typical SpanUp to 30 m
Best ForIndustrial
Load-Bearing Masonry

Walls carry the load directly — economical for single-story and boundary structures.

Typical Span3–5 m
Best ForLow-Rise
Composite Structures

Steel-concrete composite systems for high-rise towers needing speed and strength.

Typical Span8–15 m
Best ForCommercial

Structural Design You Can Build On

We don't just draft — we understand construction, because we run our own construction supervision teams too.

01
Licensed Structural Engineers

Every design is reviewed and stamped by a qualified structural engineer before it leaves our office.

02
Pakistan Seismic Zone Expertise

Deep familiarity with local seismic zoning from Zone 2A in Punjab to Zone 4 in the north.

03
Design + Build Under One Roof

Pair structural design with our BOQ, quantity surveying and site supervision divisions for a single accountable partner.

Common Questions About Structural Design

Talk to an Engineer
Yes. All structural drawings are reviewed and stamped by our licensed structural engineer and formatted to meet local development authority submission requirements.
We primarily use ETABS, STAAD.Pro, and SAFE for analysis and design, with AutoCAD and Revit for final drafting and detailing.
Yes. Our structural designs are checked per BCP SP-2007 seismic provisions across all of Pakistan's seismic zones, including Zone 4 regions.
Yes. Structural design pairs directly with our Quantity Surveying and Construction Supervision divisions for a single end-to-end project partner.
Most residential projects take 10–14 working days from site visit to stamped drawings; larger commercial or industrial projects are scoped individually.
