About Piramade
About Piramade
“The best engineering firms don't just deliver great projects — they learn from them. Piramade provides the platform that makes that learning from what has been done before systematic and accessible. The best bit is that everybody benefits: engineering firms, individual engineers, clients, and project outcomes.”
Our mission
Piramade exists to unlock the cumulative intelligence inside engineering firms. Years of hard-won knowledge — calculations, drawings, reports, specifications — sits buried in project folders, effectively abandoned. We believe that knowledge should be searchable, reusable, and compounding in value over time.
Why we're the right team to solve it
Our team combines structural engineering expertise with software development experience. We understand how engineering firms work, how deliverables are produced, and what it takes to build tools that fit inside existing workflows without disruption. We're not applying AI to engineering from the outside — we're designing around how consulting firms actually operate.
We are supported by advisors from the Australian and UK technology industries, with direct experience building and scaling software businesses from early stage through to maturity.

What we're building
An AI-enhanced engineering precedent platform that transforms a firm's past deliverables into a living, searchable knowledge asset — one that becomes more valuable over time as your firm's experience grows and AI capabilities accelerate.
We built this because we know the problem firsthand
Piramade was founded by Karina Siems, an Associate Technical Director in Structural Engineering and a Chartered Engineer in both Australia (CPEng MIEAust) and the United Kingdom (CEng MICE). Working internationally across complex projects — datacentres, gigafactories, schools, infrastructure, hospitals, and high-rise buildings — gave her a close view of how consulting firms manage, and too often lose, the knowledge embedded in their past work.
That observation was reinforced through conversations across an extensive professional network across companies and continents, from boutique specialists to large multidisciplinary practices. The finding was consistent: Every firm wants better reuse. Nobody has the time for manual archiving. And existing tools — built for generic document management, not engineering context — have never been up to the job.
It's time to change that.
