“Tony Furr is an astute engineer and the brains behind Structural Toolkit. Structural Toolkit is a suite of structural design tools, used on a daily basis by our team.
Having worked with Tony, as a senior engineer in our company, we know him and his capability. Our level of trust and professional respect for Tony enables us to be confident when referring Structural Toolkit to our peers.
Tony Furr's software product fills a gap in the market by providing both an effective and cost efficient design tool.
We contracted the services of specialist consultants Leading Matters to gain insight and testimonials from our clients. The following is an excerpt from their report for us.
“Thank you for the opportunity to survey your clients for their opinions and feedback about Structural Toolkit and to seek Brilliant Testimonials - BTs® from these clients for your marketing and business communications. The results of our process were very interesting. While several of your clients were willing and happy to provide testimonials for you, a few declined the opportunity to publically endorse Structural Toolkit because they maintain having it gives them an advantage over those that don't have it because the product is so valuable to them and their error rate is reduced by 100%! I am happy to report that I heard this feedback but disappointed we were unable to substantiate it for you in writing from these clients. We wish you well with Structural Toolkit which is clearly having a considerably positive impact on the structural and civil engineering world."
“I used to write my own spreadsheets to carry out the computations needed for structural design and it was both time consuming and I knew there had to be a better way. I was looking for a windows based application to help our structural engineers concentrate on the projects they were working on and cut down the huge amount of time they need to spend on computations.
Structural Toolkit by Anthony Furr Software provides an excellent solution for us and definitely saves us a great deal of both time and money. It eliminates margins for errors and most computations are compiled into a one-page computation which is iterative. This means that engineers can make even the smallest required changes and the program simply automatically updates ensuring all computations remain correct.
About 90% of hand computations in our office are carried out by our engineers using Structural Toolkit. One program does it all and hand computations are a thing of the past. It has wide applications all in one package, shows every step of the process and covers timber, steel and concrete. Structural Toolkit is a basic tool which has become a necessity. It's the smart engineer's good friend.
“Nilsson, Noel & Holmes (Engineers) is a structural and civil engineering consultancy whose core business is producing structural designs for residential, industrial and commercial structures and civil design for subdivisions. We have been using Structural Toolkit by Anthony Furr Software since its release in 2002.
Structural Toolkit is designed and written by a structural engineer and naturally reflects the way we carry out design and produce our calculations. Its comprehensive range of design modules covers virtually all design scenarios that we regularly encounter, almost eradicating the need for hand computations and we are able to produce complex sets of calculations in a fraction of the time. The interface is well laid out and the software logical and simple to operate. Structural Toolkit is regularly updated in line with changes to Australian Standards and we have confidence in its currency and accuracy.
