As a result, demonstrating efficiency in design work is one of the aspects that forms a substance of competitiveness of a structural engineer. Evolving from this the aim of the report is to provide an analysis and design procedure for a single-family residential building using the computer software STAAD.Pro. To analyze the residential building, the designer has to consider all possible types of loadings and ensures that the structure is safe under all possible loading scenarios. There are several methods for analysis of different frames including Kani‘s method, cantilever method, portal method, and Matrix method.

The present project deals with the analysis of a residential building of G+1. Dead and Live loads are applied and the design for beams, columns, slab is obtained using STAAD.Pro. Its new features surpassed its predecessors and compotators with its data sharing capabilities with other major software like AutoCAD.
