Kaia Engineering where the design must check out.
Engineering deliverables answer to codes, reviewers and the stamp. Kaia Engineering runs building-services design as a governed process: it works on your own base drawings, checks every value against your code before anything is drawn, and hands back drawing sheets with the receipt behind every number. The engineer of record signs. Kaia never signs, stamps or submits.
What the work must survive
Checked before drawn. Every value is computed and checked against the rulebook before a line is drawn. No number on a sheet is a model’s guess.
Traceable after. The receipt ships with every sheet: inputs, settings version, every check and what the run did not do. No receipt, no download.
Signed by your engineer. The engineer of record signs the package, and each discipline lead signs their own discipline. Kaia never signs, stamps or submits to an authority.

Kaia Engineering Design (MEP)
NEWBuilding-services design that ends in drawing sheets, not just calculations: checked before drawing, traceable to the code, signed by your engineer of record.
Available now

- Normal and escape lighting designed to the code.
- Design bases with sign-off for HVAC, fire, plumbing and ELV.
- Checks before drawing.
- Your corrections change the next run.
- Name protection.
- Excel workbooks with live formulas.
- DXF in and out; DWG stays in your CAD.
- A receipt and an evidence page per run.
Coming soon
- All five disciplines drawn in full, from the architect’s drawing and a one-page brief.

How Kaia compares
Today’s tools stop short. Calculation tools do one calculation each. Coordination tools find clashes after the design is drawn. Drafting services sell hours, with no calculation or check behind the sheet. All five disciplines, one engine. Most tools cover one discipline, or start from a BIM model. Kaia is built for HVAC, fire, plumbing, ELV and electrical in one set, on the 2D base your practice already works in.
Bring one painful workflow.
Start with a bounded process, see the evidence chain on every decision, and measure the result on your own terms.
