Struct-Lab Inc., based in Sapporo, Hokkaido and led by Representative Director Haruhiko Kobayashi, announced that usage of its job-matching service “Struct-Lab partner,” which connects structural designers with companies, is expanding. The service has surpassed 200 registered engineers and more than 100 structural design requests from companies. Struct-Lab partner is a job-matching service specialized in structural design. It was created to address two issues at once: companies’ shortage of structural design talent and structural designers’ lack of opportunities to secure projects. In urgent projects involving complete structural design for wooden detached houses, the service has achieved matching in as little as 24 hours from the initial request, contributing to its growing adoption as a practical service tied directly to business results. The service offers flexible working options through a specialized structural design network, supporting needs such as side work, stable sales channels after going independent, and deeper professional skill development. It also enables structural designers to choose projects according to their career stage. For companies facing sudden loss of outsourcing partners or staff shortages, Struct-Lab partner provides rapid matching, reducing outsourcing dependency risk while creating new routes for designers to obtain projects. Struct-Lab also supports back-office operations including project acquisition, contracts, invoicing, and payment collection, reducing the administrative burden on structural designers and allowing them to focus on design work. Its compensation system is designed around project difficulty and scope of responsibility, aiming to create a fair transaction environment in which structural designers are paid in line with their skills and accountability. Japan’s structural design industry faces chronic labor shortages, limited sales opportunities, and low compensation levels. Demand for structural calculations is expected
