Become an Agentic Structural Engineer

How it works

The workshop ends with a standalone tool. This one doesn't. You build a full workflow: the agent does the repetitive work, you give the engineering inputs and validate the results. The target is 30% less time — and you measure the real number yourself.

1. Before we start

   Pick your workflow

   Choose one repetitive workflow from your own projects and time how long it takes you today. That's your baseline.

2. Week 1

   Design the workflow

   Map the steps, the decisions, and the points where a human has to approve. Then design your agent around them.

3. Week 2

   Extract and connect

   Define the data structure your workflow runs on — what every step takes in and hands on — then fill it with project data pulled out of IFC models and PDFs.

4. Week 3

   Connect the tools

   Reach your calculation tools the three ways an agent can — an API it calls, a command it runs, an MCP server that describes itself — and add the checks that stop it from ever handing you an unverified answer.

5. Week 4

   Skills

   Learn how reusable instructions, references, and scripts guide an agent through a workflow, with checks and engineering review points. Watch a roof-optimization skill created and run from IFC to verified result and report. Then discover how another skill turns the verified design into drawings. Create and run one skill for your own workflow, verify its deliverable, and compare its run time with your baseline.

Saturdays don't work? Take it from the recordings. The sessions are demos, you watch rather than build; the building happens in that week's assignment on your own workflow, and the two private reviews keep you on track.

You leave with a working agent for one real workflow, and a measured number for how much time it saves you.
