Truss & Beams independently checks structural calculation packages. The machine recomputes every element to EC2 and EC3 with the UK National Annexes and flags each divergence against its source clause. A chartered engineer exercises judgment and signs.
Checking has always been the slowest, least-loved part of structural engineering — and the part regulators now scrutinise hardest. The Building Safety Act 2022 made the golden thread a statutory duty, and Gateway 2 rejects a large share of applications on evidence, not engineering. Independent recalculation — Category-3-style rigour — is exactly the kind of work a machine can make routine, and exactly the evidence a submission needs behind it.
The recompute is deterministic. Every flag comes back with the source page, the clause, the recomputed value, and a disposition — pass, query, or fail — never a confidence score. The output is a structured, source-cited check record designed to slot into the golden thread and stand behind a Gateway 2 submission.
Pilot reports are advisory reviews, not independent check certification. Formal certification remains with your appointed checker. We are building toward the second-generation Eurocodes against their 30 September 2027 publication date.
“Checking is the beginning, not the product.”
