About Codeware

Overview

Codeware was founded in 1983 in Ontario, Canada. We opened our first U.S. office in 1993. We currently have offices in Sarasota, Florida and Austin, Texas. Codeware's founder, Les M. Bildy, P. Eng., has served as President since 1983.

Engineering is at the core of Codeware. Our philosophy is that very specialized knowledge is needed to properly interpret and program the rules of the ASME Code. That's why Codeware's programming team is comprised primarily of Mechanical Engineers who are also Software Developers. It is common to see members of our software development team gathered around a white board debating the engineering merits of an approach before implementing it in Codeware's COMPRESS Software or INSPECT Software.

Account Managers are ready to assist with your software evaluation and answer any licensing questions. Account Management and Support Team Members work closely with clients to investigate and resolve each question raised. IT Support personnel are here to answer installation and networking questions. Codeware's experienced Engineers are available to explain our interpretation of the ASME Code rules as implemented in the software. Codeware does not outsource COMPRESS or INSPECT programming, client support or client services.

Codeware personnel are actively involved with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Codeware's Founder and President, Les M. Bildy, is the principal author of Part 4, paragraph 4.5 of the new Division 2 Code. Mr. Bildy also coauthored WRC-529 "Development of Design Rules for Nozzles in Pressure Vessels for the ASME B&PV Code, Section VIII, Division 2" which was released in December 2010.
