Sofoco supplies Parabuild in Australia with practical training, technical support and a team that understands how engineering businesses work.

Built for engineers

Steel detailing software that works the way engineers work

Parabuild is built for fast, intuitive placement of structural steel and the connections between members. It supports beams, columns, girders, struts, joists and other steel elements while helping users create and manage connections with less manual rework.

For engineering businesses that need reliable modelling, cleaner documentation and a more efficient workflow from concept to output, Parabuild provides practical capability without overcomplicating day-to-day project delivery.

Key capability

Model steel faster with smarter connection tools

Hundreds of connections

Use a substantial connection library to connect members quickly and apply appropriate connection types to common situations.

Flexible, reusable details

Create user-defined connections, save preferred approaches and reuse them across future projects.

Control over geometry

Fully constrained structures support flexible adjustment while maintaining the precision engineers need.

From model to output

Documentation connected to your 3D steel model

Parabuild turns 3D steel models into the outputs project teams need, including shop drawings, general arrangement drawings, bills of materials, IFC, DXF and CNC files.

By connecting modelling and documentation through a consistent workflow, it helps reduce repetitive drafting, improve alignment and support cleaner handover into fabrication and downstream project stages.

  • Shop and general arrangement drawings
  • Bills of materials and IFC outputs
  • DXF and CNC files for fabrication
  • Less repetitive drafting and fewer avoidable errors
