What is ProCAD?
“Great framing starts with great design — and great design starts with precision“
ProCAD is an advanced software solution that allows users to design, engineer, and detail Light Gauge Steel structures in one streamlined environment.
It generates everything you need for project execution including detailed drawings, structural analysis reports, a Bill of Materials (BOM), and precise CNC data for manufacturing. This ensures an end-to-end, seamless, and error-free workflow from design to production.
ProCAD is fully customizable for each application, taking into account the types of products to be designed, relevant Building Standards, and all applied load conditions. The software can incorporate snow loads, wind loads, material weights, as well as Dead and Live loads, adapting to both project-specific and market-specific requirements.
For extreme conditions, SFS International also offers Design Packages for Cyclonic Wind Conditions that integrate with our standard steel framing product range
To meet complex project demands, ProCAD supports advanced detailing features like Panel Bracing, dimple connections, and bolted connections, helping clients comply with strict engineering codes or stand out in competitive bids.
Every output from ProCAD is benchmarked and validated by independent engineers, ensuring consistency with our internal Design Statements and System Design Manuals — for absolute confidence in every frame you build.
