FRAMECAD Ltd. is working with the Red Cross to rebuild the Vunikaikaloa Arya School in Fiji, which was destroyed last year by a cyclone. The FRAMECAD system, built with IntelliCAD, can be used to quickly construct safe buildings after an environmental disaster and is being used to rebuild the school.

For more details about the project and its progress, visit the FRAMECAD blog.

FRAMECAD Mobile Factory and its Light Gauge Steel construction was evaluated by the US Navy for disaster relief and humanitarian assistance. A reduction in construction time by two-thirds and a reduction in required workforce by one half were just some of the benefits initially reported.

FRAMECAD Ltd. is an ITC member developing the FRAMECAD system, which is a rapid steel framing design and build system based on IntelliCAD.

Since 2011 when FRAMECAD Ltd. joined the IntelliCAD Technology Consortium, the IntelliCAD engine has been the base for the FRAMECAD system — an end-to-end design and build system used for rapid construction of buildings for businesses, governments, and communities worldwide. But there was more to be gained from an ITC membership, for example, FRAMECAD benefited from ITC development systems that are designed for large-scale software distribution.

IntelliCAD Co-op provides insight into large-scale development tools and processes. We were able to leverage lessons on globalization, localization, crash reporting, code analysis, automated testing and other processes that helped elevate our software development. – John Burns, Senior Software Developer FRAMECAD Ltd.
