Developed by a registered Florida architect and verified by an engineer registered in Florida, California, Georgia, Ohio, Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Kentucky, New York and Texas. Now your smart phone can make you money.

Finally a fast, consistent, flexible, accurate and mobile way to calculate the component and cladding wind pressures conforming to ASCE 7.10, Chapter 30.4, Part 1. This covers the majority of projects (buildings less than 60’ high and without significant topography change) and most building codes that accept ASCE 7.10 calculations. ASCE calculations are used throughout the country, and this app includes options for the Florida Building Code (FBC).

• Direct link with wind speed charts for any
property
• Required tool for architects and engineers.
• Product manufacturers and contractors can
become efficient and provide accurate
information to clients.
• Guidance is provided for each entry input
with resource extracted from the ASCE
manual.

The best feature is changing sizes, exposures, wind speeds, and areas on the fly and instantly displayed to compare the differences. You can calculate the components of an entire house in minutes.

When you are on a project site or with a product supplier or providing a client with the requirements, you can respond instantly using your mobile phone. No more delays to get back to the office, calculate, use a generic chart and add to your daily tasks. The GCpi values have been incremented twice as much and sometimes 3 x as much for more accurate values within a given area range.
