Design & Detailing of RCC Structures Using Indian Standards (IS) (Manual + ETABS + CSI SAFE + Live Projects)
A complete, from-scratch RCC structural design and detailing course as per Indian Standards (IS) — build strong engineering judgment through manual design, then apply it hands-on in ETABS and CSI SAFE.

Built the Way Design Offices Actually Work
Project-Based Teaching
Every concept is tied back to one real, complete RCC project — not isolated textbook examples.
Whiteboard + Screen-Share
A blend of concept explanation on the board and hands-on modeling directly in ETABS/SAFE.
Learn at Your Own Pace
Revisit any session as many times as you need, at your own pace.
Office-Ready Skills
Finish with the same design-to-drawing workflow used on live structural consulting projects.
For Engineers Who Want to Design, Not Just Analyse
Whether you're starting out or already working, this course closes the gap between running an analysis model and actually producing a design and drawing that can be built.
