2025 was anything but quiet at RYMY. We kept the business running alongside our day jobs. Still, from a communications perspective, the year was quieter — and for a good reason.
Structural Engineering and Steel Structures
Structures that last – carefully designed and precisely modelled.
Structural engineering ensures that a building's load-bearing structures perform safely and as intended throughout their entire lifecycle. Well-executed design supports smooth project delivery, helps anticipate loads and reduces surprises during production and on site.
We provide structural engineering and steel structure design for projects ranging from residential buildings to demanding industrial environments. Our work is grounded in practical experience and a strong understanding of how designs move into production and site execution.
Structural Engineering
We design concrete and timber structures for projects ranging from small storage buildings to detached houses and larger ancillary buildings. Our structural engineering work is practical and solution-oriented, focusing on clarity and buildability.
Our structural engineering services include:
-
dimensioning and strength calculations for load-bearing structures
-
foundation design and structural framing
-
2D and 3D drawings according to project requirements
-
structural designs compliant with building regulations and relevant standards.
All structural designs are developed with the project specific requirements in mind and documented clearly for use by the entire project team.
Steel Structure Design
Steel is a versatile and efficient construction material, but achieving a functional end result requires careful design and coordination with production. We provide steel structure design services primarily for industrial projects, from small steel components to large structural assemblies.
Our steel structure design services cover:
-
Tekla modelling and creation of preliminary models
-
connection and strength calculations
-
workshop and erection drawings
-
compatibility of designs with production control systems (e.g. Tekla Powerfab)
This ensures that steel elements are manufactured and installed as planned – without unnecessary complications.

Rymy as a Project Partner
Structural engineering is not an isolated task within a project. Rymy works closely with architects, other designers and contractors to ensure that all designs are compatible and support efficient execution.
Our focus on overall coordination is particularly evident in the way structures are designed with production and installation in mind. This approach streamlines project progress and contributes to a high-quality end result.
Our Design Process
- Review of project inputs
Project objectives, intended use and technical requirements are reviewed together. - Modelling and analysis
The structural model is created, and loads, capacities and requirements are analyzed. - Preparation of design documentation
We produce 2D and 3D drawings, strength calculations and all required technical documentation. - Coordination and handover to production
Designs are prepared for fabrication and installation in cooperation with other project stakeholders.
We offer services for design and BIM coordination as well. Read more about BIM services.

Industry insights and reference articles
In 2009, I took a laptop to the construction site and opened the BIM model for the installation crew. At the time, that was not yet standard practice, even though model-based design was already common in design offices. This industrial project showed in concrete terms how much up-to-date information, clear interfaces, and a shared understanding of...
I started in construction industry at the age of 16 as a summer worker. My job was to paint staff facilities in Oulu, Finland – a Walkman in my pocket and paint on my shoes. In this article, I share how that beginning eventually led me into structural design, BIM and digital models, and ultimately entrepreneurship – and what...
When the schedule is tight and installation needs to keep moving as planned, the main task of design is to make sure the solution is practical to fabricate and straightforward to install. RYMY delivered model-based workshop and erection planning for a project in Northern Sweden in collaboration with LTR-Rakennus Ltd.
