Master Engineering · For technical production

Your calculations, certified.

For structural engineers, MEP, façade specialists, project architects. One brief, as many workers as it needs — one per element, per zone, per verification. The certified tool produces the number. Your engineer signs.

An engineer's workstation: hand-annotated calc note and Eurocode codex on the left, Vonbuild's Robot-driven certified output on the right

Left — the verification work your senior engineer does · Right — the Eurocode lineage Vonbuild ships

Who Master Engineering serves

Not just the structural engineer.

The senior engineer is the daily driver. But Master Engineering runs into every technical decision that needs Eurocode lineage — façade specs, MEP coordination, BIM audits, project-architect reports. Four roles converge on the same workforce.

Live process · Engineering cascade

You consult Engineering. Five agents react. One verified design.

A revised structural drawing arrives. Master Engineering spawns five verification agents in parallel. Eurocode, DTU, deflection, materials, tolerance — all cross-checked, one verdict. Norm-update re-verification auto-scheduled.

Signal

A revised drawing arrives at 14:32.

Any source can fire it: a file dropped in OneDrive / Google Drive / any drive, an email landing in Outlook, a scheduled task firing, or you pressing a button. In this scenario, an event arrives via ONEDRIVE.

Routing

MASTER ENGINEERING routes.

It classifies the impact across 21 semantic categories and dispatches to the 5 specialized agents concerned. No human in the loop. No meeting scheduled.

5 specialized agents dispatched · 312 ms
Parallel reaction

5 specialized agents. In parallel.

Each agent accesses its own toolset — apps, browsers, MCP connectors, project documents and company knowledge — and produces a structured output. Concurrently, not sequentially.

Sub-signature · The auto-coded mini-app

If the tool is missing, it builds the tool.

A niche normative requirement. A regional code no commercial software covers. A verification your firm has done on Excel for 20 years. The agent writes the calculator, tests it against reference cases, runs your project. The next time anyone needs it, the calculator's already in your firm's library.
01
Read the brief

Reads the PDF. Identifies the 34 glazing types.

The agent reads the façade PDF. Picks out the 34 glazing types — dimensions, position, exposure. Extracts the site climate: wind zone, terrain, altitude, snow. Determines the loads per panel.
02
Build the calculator

Writes it. Tests it. Validates it.

You hand it DTU 39 (or EN 13474). It writes the calculator — minimum thickness, allowable deflection, thermal check. Sandboxed run. Validated against 3 reference cases before it goes live on your project.
03
Run on the project

34 sizings in 3 minutes.

Calculator runs across all 34 panels. Per panel: composition, calculated vs allowable deflection, stress ratio, thermal check. 3 panels flagged for reinforcement. Corrected spec ready for the architect.
New extension auto-registered
EXT-ENG-AUTO-247 · type: mini-app · DTU 39 glazing sizer
The calculator just authored becomes a permanent extension in your firm's Marketplace. Versioned. Tested. Audited. Available to every engineer from this moment on. The next 34-glazing project starts at step 3 — the tool already exists. This is how senior expertise stops walking out the door.
Inside the app · Skill configuration

Configure once. Run on every project.

Define inputs, expected outputs, validation rules against reference cases, governance level. Junior runs the protocol with senior rigor. Captures the verification logic your senior engineer would otherwise re-explain on every project.

A week with Master Engineering

What changes for engineers and architects.

Friday 9pm — the architect emails: revised loads on the 12th floor. The agent ingests them, spawns workers per affected element, drives Robot overnight. Saturday 7am the updated calc note is on your screen. Sign by lunch. Sunday off.
Input · Friday 9pm
Revised loads on 12th floor
34 affected columns · 8 beams

Updated calc note. Every affected element re-verified in Robot. Eurocode lineage preserved.
Input · Permit submission
200-page calc note needed
EC2 / EC3 / EC7 · 1,200+ elements

Output · Overnight
47 clashes flagged with priority. Affected trades identified. Variation orders avoided.
The bottleneck before every permit submission is no longer six weeks of senior engineering time. It's the five days you review the lineage Vonbuild produced.
Always on · Always aware

The project remembers itself.

Every drawing revision. Every load update. Every clash. Captured the moment it lands. Connected across the model. Ready for the next project review.
Project-centric · firm-aware on non-sensitive · sensitive stays gated
47 documents indexed
Ingestion processing 47 documents
Automatic capture

You don't upload. It sees.

Every drawing revision in your SharePoint. Every model file update. Every BIM coordination clash. Every load change. Captured the instant it lands. The project memory grows itself.
Hidden connections

Dots you can't see, joined.

A load change on the 12th floor. A column reinforcement on the 3rd. A façade panel re-spec. A foundation re-check. The system sees the chain. Ask anything across the model — get a sourced answer in seconds.
Team-shared

Your senior sees what the junior calculated.

MEP coordinator sees the structural model the BIM agent indexed. Façade specialist sees the loads the structural agent extracted. Same project memory, different views.
Liability-ready

The audit trail is built before the audit.

Years after Practical Completion, when the cladding fails, the file is there. Every input. Every output. Every software version. Every signature. Re-runnable in the same software. Nothing to reconstruct.
Working into the future · Self-scheduling
Visible in your Outlook · calendar "Vonbuild"

Schedule any task — once or recurring.

The same modal your engineer uses to schedule a model re-run is the engine the agent uses to schedule its own future work — autonomously, no prompt needed. Both surface in the same Outlook "Vonbuild" calendar. The agent watches the model file; you sign the calc note.
Option A · One-time
Option B · Recurring
Live demo · Computer Use on your stack

It drives the certified software. Not generates the number.

The agent opens Robot, ETABS, or SAP2000 and clicks through the verification exactly as your engineer would. The professional tool produces the result. Your signature still stands.

Mechanism · How it works

One brief. N elements. One certified note.

01
Decompose
The brief breaks into per-element verifications — every beam, column, slab, joint flagged for check.
02
Spawn workers
One worker per element. 1,847 elements, 1,847 workers. No queueing.
03
Drive software
Each worker opens Robot, ETABS, or SAP2000 in its own browser. The certified tool produces the number.
04
Consolidate
Per-element results extracted with the source clause cited. Assembled into a permit-ready calc note.
Master Engineering is not a generative AI. It does not produce numbers. It drives certified professional software via Computer Use — Robot, ETABS, SAP2000 — and extracts the results those tools produce. Same software, same number, same regulatory standing. Your signature still stands behind every one.
Four routes. One promise.

How the work actually gets done.

When the agent picks up a task, it works through these four routes in order. Whatever produces a real, verifiable result, ships. If nothing does, you hear back — never with a made-up number.
01
A tool that already exists

Reach for what's on the shelf.

Your firm has built this workflow before. Or Vonbuild ships it out of the box. The agent picks the right one and runs it — like your engineer reaching for a checklist they trust.
02
A tool the agent builds

Make the missing one.

Need a calculation nobody's done in your firm yet? Hand the agent the norm — EN 13474 for glazing, Eurocode 2 punching shear, RT2020 thermal. It builds the calculator, checks it against known cases, runs your project. Next project, that calculator's already in your firm's library.
03
A tool that talks back

Connect straight through.

Some of your software — Revit, a growing list of cloud tools — lets the agent connect directly, without going through screens. No clicking, no waiting. The cleanest route when it's available.
04
A tool the agent uses like you would

Click through, like an engineer would.

Everything else — Robot, ETABS, Coupa, Procore, your supplier portals. The agent logs in with your licence and works the interface exactly as your engineer or QS would. Same software, same result, same paper trail. None of your hours.
Or — you hear back, with the reason
No made-up numbers
When none of the four routes works, the agent tells you what it tried, where it stopped, and what would unblock it. It does not invent a number to fill the gap. The output on your screen is always a real result from a real tool — or there's no output.
Polycentric model

Engineering alone, or Engineering in concert.

What this workforce guarantees

How is your AI doing the calculation?

It is not. Your certified professional software is doing the calculation. The workforce orchestrates the inputs and extracts the outputs. Your signature still goes on the note because the number still came from Robot, ETABS, or SAP2000 — exactly as if your engineer had clicked through manually.
Computer Use, not generation
Agents drive certified software in their own browser session. The professional tool produces every number the note cites.
Source clause citation
Every result tied to the exact Eurocode or DTU sub-clause that justifies the verification method. No probabilistic outputs.
Reproducible audit
Inputs, model file hash, software version, output saved per element. Re-runnable years later in the same software.
Senior signature, intact
Your PE / IngBau / SIA-registered engineer signs the same note they would have signed otherwise. The regulator sees the same artefact.

Live demo · Human-in-the-loop

The agent prepares. You sign.

Every calc note submission, every drawing release, every external send blocks for your explicit approval. Your PE / IngBau / SIA-registered engineer signs the artefact the regulator sees. The decennial liability stays with the engineer, not the AI.
Governance

Your calculation lineage is reproducible decades later.

Tenant-resident inside your existing Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. Model files stay in your DMS. Software licences stay yours. Audit log preserves model hash, software version, inputs, output — re-runnable for liability defence years after the project closes. Project-scope extensions need DSI approval before tenant-wide promotion.
