Stridely is pleased to announce its official partnership with the Metal Building Contractors and Erectors Association (MBCEA), the leading trade association representing metal building contractors and erectors across North America. This collaboration brings together MBCEA’s industry expertise, education, and contractor network with Stridely’s capabilities in building design technology, creating a strong foundation to drive greater efficiency and innovation across the metal building sector.
Stridely Brings AI-Powered Design to the Metal Building Industry
Metal building contractors and erectors routinely manage projects where structural complexity, tight timelines, and coordination across multiple stakeholders leave little room for error. Yet most design tools in use today were not built with this level of demand in mind. A key dimension of this partnership is how InstaBuild360, Stridely’s AI-Powered 3D Engineering Platform for Pre-Engineered Buildings, directly addresses these challenges.
InstaBuild360 supports the full breadth of metal building elements and structure types from Hot Roll to multi-frame configurations, allowing structural engineers, steel detailers, fabricators, PEB sales executives, real estate developers, project managers, contractors, building owners & clients to configure accurate, fully engineered models within a single platform.
What Makes InstaBuild360 Stand Out?
- The product is built to handle the complexity of real-world metal building projects.
- Catch and resolve design issues before construction: Every change is reflected instantly in the 3D model, eliminating costly back-and-forth between teams.
- Deliver more compelling client presentations: Place structures in realistic environments and simulate day and night lighting conditions, giving stakeholders a clear picture of the final outcome.
- Cut down design time: The conversational AI assistant lets users describe requirements in plain language and receive a complete 3D configuration, bypassing lengthy manual input.
- Manage multiple projects: All building configurations are handled within a single workspace, eliminating the need to switch between systems.
- Connect design directly to business outcomes: Direct API integration ensures design output flows straight into sales pipelines and broader business workflows, reducing manual handoffs between teams.
For MBCEA members, this partnership signals access to a broader conversation around where the industry is investing in technology. With InstaBuild360, we are committed to working within the MBCEA ecosystem to ensure that its tools are aligned with the practical demands contractors face daily. This includes the ability to fully customize InstaBuild360 to reflect individual company branding, ensuring that firms can adopt the platform without compromising their client-facing identity.
Setting a New Standard for Metal Building Projects
This partnership reflects a shared commitment to advancing the metal building industry through better technology and stronger professional standards.
MBCEA brings decades of industry credibility and a deep understanding of on-ground project realities. InstaBuild360 brings the technical capability to translate those realities into smarter, faster design workflows.
Together, they are positioned to set a new benchmark for how metal building projects are designed and delivered.
