What is FOUNDA MATE?

FOUNDA MATE® is a professional software solution for reinforced concrete foundation detailing and automatic generation of structural drawings. It is a powerful and extremely fast tool for automatically designing and detailing foundation slab reinforcement based on building model design results from SAFE software.

With its simple and user-friendly graphical interface, FOUNDA MATE® allows you to preview your foundation model, review reinforcement details, and prepare complete structural drawings quickly and efficiently. The software automatically generates detailed reinforcement drawings and can save the prepared structural drawings in AutoCAD-compatible file formats.

FOUNDA MATE® is designed to make foundation detailing faster, easier, and more accurate. It provides detailed reinforcement information and supports the production of professional structural drawings for reinforced concrete foundation slabs.

In addition, FOUNDA MATE® can generate several useful reports, including structural material lists organized by element type, reinforcement information, and other project-related reports. These features provide a practical workflow from SAFE design results to detailed foundation reinforcement and final structural drawings.
