BuildingHow Team

The BuilidingHow Team consists of experienced structural engineers and IT experts, led by Apostolos Konstandinidis. Βased on extensive knowledge and experience, through our HoloBIM software, we integrate three anti-seismic engineering fields:

(a) Software

• 1985: A. Konstantinidis initiates the BIM approach long before it was globally adopted from the industry. Release of the Structural Design software “HoloSTATIKA”
• 2004: Release of “StereoSTATIKA“
• 2015: Release of “HoloBIM”

(b) Education

Publications

• 1978: Three volumes titled “Reinforced concrete applications” are published.
• 1994: The three volumes titled “Reinforced concrete applications according to new codes”.
• 2008: Volume A, titled “The Art of Construction and the Detailing”, of the book series “Earthquake Resistant Buildings”.
• 2012: Volume B, titled “Static and Dynamic Analysis according to Eurocodes”, of the book series “Earthquake Resistant Buildings”.

Training Stuff

(c) Industry

• 1996: “Thorax” company is established aiming at the research and industrial implementation of innovative antiseismic technology.
• 1999: The definite advantage of antiseismic thoraces is certified experimentally by the reinforced concrete laboratory of the National Technical University of Athens.
• 2004: Next generation of earthquake resistant stirrups, Cellular stirrups, designed and patented to have absolute industrial accuracy for precasting purposes.
