Frequently asked questions

Can I contract the engineering alone?

Yes. Engineering is a standalone service, delivered online to any country, with no requirement for ONIX to build the job.

Which code is used for the analysis?

AISC for structural steel, supplemented by whichever local code applies to the project.

What do you need to start?

The preliminary design or architectural drawings, the intended use and the location — wind and seismic loads come from that. With no drawings, dimensions and intended use are enough.

How is remote work coordinated?

Over WhatsApp. The request comes in digitally, questions are resolved through the same channel, and delivery is digital too.

Do you hand over the model or only the drawings?

Calculations and drawings are delivered signed. If the project needs the structural model or editable files, that is agreed when scope is defined.
