Msingi
A site engineer's toolkit for Kenya and East Africa. Concrete and rebar takeoffs and Eurocode 2 design checks, each one a calculation sheet with the working shown.
Msingi puts a senior engineer's calc sheet on a phone. The engineer enters the member, chooses a design code, and gets the answer with the working beside it: every formula, every assumption and the code clause behind each step. Results save to the device and export as a PDF that a reviewer can audit.
Msingi is a preliminary design and estimation aid, and it says so on every page and every exported sheet. Kenya has adopted the Eurocodes but no published Kenyan National Annex was found, so the tool uses UK National Annex values and states that on screen. The remaining tools (wind loading, seismic loading, bearing capacity and a whole-structure workflow) are works in progress. They are being built one by one, because they build on each other.
