- AutoCAD – A 2D and 3D design and drafting software.
- Revit – A BIM (Building Information Modeling) software for architectural planning, design and construction
- Staad pro – A software specifically designed for civil engineers to analyse and design any frame structure.
- Bentley MicroStation – A 2D and 3D CAD and BIM software used in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry
- SAP2000 – A software for structural analysis and design
- ETABS – A software for advanced structural analysis and design
