Building for the Future of Infrastructure

The industry is shifting from 2D CAD to BIM and digital twins. We’re not waiting around—we’re actively developing Saikei Civil, open-source IFC 4.3 infrastructure design software.

What this means for your project: Designs that are interoperable from day one. Data that flows through the asset lifecycle. Engineers who understand modern infrastructure delivery because we’re building the tools ourselves.
