  • STEELestimator to accurately cost structural steel projects;
  • STEEL41 for rapid design of structural steel components to AS4100;

  • STEELcat , Australia's industry-standard electronic catalogue of steel sections produced by leading steel manufacturers; and
  • ENVIROwall , to quickly and easily design retaining walls that meet the new AS4678 code.

Mr. Kay said ESS delivers software that is designed to create business outcomes. "It is designed to improve efficiency and reduce the risk of the unknown and to simulate real-world outcomes," he said. "We solve the problem first and then develop software that will automate that solution."
