Engineering tools
AI integration you can review.
Clearspan's calculation tools are useable by both engineers and AI agents. Quickly run calculations and generate reports. Every calculation can be reviewed, opened, and edited independent of AI so that you can retain control.
- Verified tools.
- Our current calculation library includes wood beams and posts. More tools, including steel beams and columns, are coming soon.
- Simple span beam analysis.
- Calculate demands, deflections, and reactions for beams with customizable load patterns, combinations, and cases. Link loads between beams.
- Calculation compiler.
- Bundle multiple pdfs into a report package with configurable cover sheets, live table of contents, and section organization.
AI approach
Conversational engineering, trusted math.
Clearspan gives AI tested tools to run and document calculations, like a human engineer would do with standard computer software or a calculator. The AI does not need to do its own math and produces repeatable reports and deliverables.
- Verified tools.
- Clearspan's calculation tools are tested and verified before being handed off to our AI.
- Every tool call visible.
- See exactly which calculation tool was invoked, what inputs went in, and what came back. Review, override any value, or open the calculation yourself for manual editing.
- Run online or your desktop, or email your agent
- Hand off work to the AI similar to how you would treat an entry level engineer. Use the clearspan MCP on your desktop so you can pair it with Bluebeam Max or Revit MCP.
Polished presentation
Simple tools to improve client service.
In addition to calculations, send proposals and documents for e-signature, create a public project dashboard, share files, and request online payments from clients.
- Project dashboard.
- Create project dashboards for clients to check status, team contact information, or access and upload shared files.
- Deliverables portal.
- Clients log in to a firm-branded portal to download files or deliverables. Link the portal to payment requests so that files are automatically released upon payment, a useful feature for residential projects.
- Payment processing
- Collect payments via clearspan's Stripe integration.
Inbound work
Leads that already did their homework.
Recieve referrals for residential work from our client service platform and Find an Engineer search. Our self-service tools offer a way to expedite service and establish a client relationship for when more complex items come up.
- Self-service platform.
- Clearspan gives contractors and architects a self-service platform for simple residential beam calculations. Opt-in to this service to review small design requests with the calculations already started for you. The client pays the submission fee to cover the preliminary calculations and project setup.
- Free firm listing.
- Every clearspan account includes a public directory profile, even on the free tier. The directory promotes your expertise, not reviews and ratings — building positive search results for your business without you writing a line of copy.
- Your firm's URL.
- A custom your-firm.withclearspan.com address lets clients access proposals, files, and payments under your brand — not clearspan.
