Company Information
	MaxBeam and MaxQuake/MaxWind has been used to create structural calculations for homes, apartments, condominiums, and small commercial buildings all across the country. Many of these projects are located within a few miles of the San Andreas fault in California, and in high wind coastal areas. The needs and requirements of hundreds of architects, builders, designers, and engineers have shaped and tested the Software. Since these programs were first released for distribution in 1995, MaxBeam and MaxQuakehave been used by building departments for use in plan checking, as a design tool by architects, designers and builders, and for structural analysis by architects and engineers. Microsoft Excel was selected as the engine for the program because of its wide availability, cross platform capacity, CADD paste-in compatibility, fast operation speed and familiar user interface. The goal of Archforms, LTD is to continue to improve and develop MaxBeam and MaxQuake as well as other planned additions to the Archforms software family to make our products the most the most useful and accurate structural design software possible for light frame buildings.
