From spec to batch sheet—optimized, transparent, compliant

Features that cut cost without compromising strength

Cost–strength optimization engine

Minimizes total mix cost while meeting target compressive strength (f'c/f'cr), workability, and exposure-class limits (w/cm). Handles cement–SCM blends, aggregate gradation windows, admixture dosage bounds, plant constraints, and optional CO2 caps—using variability-aware overdesign from your historical standard deviation.

Transparent trade‑offs and sensitivity

See cost vs strength and CO2 frontiers, constraint activity, and material sensitivities. Compare scenarios for prices, availability, and targets with full traceability of assumptions and terminology (e.g., w/cm, SCMs, overdesign margin).

One‑click from spec to optimized mix

Parse project specs, apply ACI/EN rules, compute required average strength, and auto‑generate optimized proportions and a batch sheet. Save plant, material, and exposure presets to accelerate iterations across jobs and regions.

Simple Pricing

Flexible pricing to match any budget or team size.
