PE-Stamped Foundations in 60 Minutes
Permit-ready foundation packages for pre-engineered metal buildings. Uploaded to stamped in about an hour. Every package includes plans, details, calculations, and a licensed PE stamp.
Every Building You Ship Needs a Foundation.
None of Them Include One.
Every pre-engineered metal building requires a separately engineered foundation. No major manufacturer includes it. Not Nucor. Not BlueScope. Not Chief Industries. Not Butler.
Your builder buys your building. It ships. It arrives on-site. And then everything stops. They need foundation plans for the permit. They call a local engineer who quotes 2–4 weeks and won't commit to a price. The building sits on a trailer. Your builder blames the process. You have zero control over any of it.
Many of those local engineers outsource the actual calculations offshore — to drafting firms in India or the Philippines — then review and stamp. Your builder doesn't know. Your brand absorbs whatever quality comes back.
"The first manufacturer to solve this gives their builders a reason to never leave. The rest will spend years explaining why they didn't."
Every Package. Every Time.
Complete foundation layout with footing locations, sizes, and reinforcement. Dimensioned and annotated to IBC 2024, ASCE 7-22, and ACI 318-19.
Spread footings, grade beams, slab-on-grade, pier assemblies, thickened edges, turn-down footings, step grades, reentrant corners, moment frames, brace frames.
Full engineering calculations showing load paths, bearing pressures, reinforcement sizing, and code compliance. Transparent and auditable.
Licensed Professional Engineer review, stamp, and wet signature. Same legal accountability as any traditional structural firm.

"Being able to tell a customer the exact price upfront instead of 'we'll see what the engineer says' has made our sales process way smoother."
"You're not talking to bots. We have real team members, all in the United States. We leverage AI in the background — so our customers get the best experience with actual people."

"We were waiting 3–4 weeks every time we needed a foundation stamped. First project with FoundationPE came back in 3 days. That alone changed how we schedule jobs."
No soils report? We design to conservative code assumptions. Have one? Our system reads and incorporates it automatically — liquefiable soils, soft clays, site-specific conditions.
Design changes? Our system regenerates the entire package from scratch — which is faster and more accurate than patching a template by hand. That's why revisions are always free.
Your Page. Your Brand.
Upload your building specs. We'll deliver PE-stamped foundation plans at a published flat rate.
How It Works for Manufacturers
Co-branded partner page with your logo, your URL subdomain. Your builders submit through your page. You earn revenue on every foundation package ordered.
Zero cost. No subscription, no minimums, no upfront fees. No headcount, no new department, no IT integration. Live in about two weeks from signed agreement.
Your first 5 projects are free during the pilot — so you can see exactly what your builders receive before you commit to anything.
What This Actually Means for Your Business
Right now, every manufacturer sells an incomplete product. The building ships and the builder has to solve the foundation on their own. With FoundationPE, you offer building plus foundation as one package. The first manufacturer to solve this gives their builders a reason to never leave.
This isn't a project. There's nothing to build, nothing to integrate, no new department to staff. It costs nothing, requires nothing, and is live in two weeks. The only real question is whether you have the bandwidth to take a 15-minute call.
"We started offering foundation plans with every building and it immediately made us more competitive. Customers don't want to figure that part out themselves."
You're currently making zero dollars on foundation engineering across your entire builder network. Every building you sell needs a foundation. That's recurring revenue on product you're already shipping.
Four Layers of Review
Project Engineer Verification
Human eyes on every submission before the system touches it. Our Project Engineer verifies inputs, survey data, and geotechnical requirements for accuracy.
Proprietary AI Engineering System
Custom-built by a dedicated U.S.-based software engineer with a master's degree. Not ChatGPT. Not off-the-shelf. A permanent, proprietary platform built specifically for structural foundation engineering.
Independent AI Audit
A second, separate system reviews the first. Any discrepancies between calculations or code interpretations route immediately to a human engineer.
Licensed PE Final Review
A licensed Professional Engineer stamps and signs every package. Same legal accountability and professional standard as any traditional engineering firm.
"I didn't expect much at this price point. But the plans came back clean, stamped, and approved first submission. We've used them on every project since."
