The objective of this paper is to develop different automatic designs for building construction using a new tool called Aut°CAD AutoLISP. One-way slab, Reinforced Cement Concrete pipe, straight stairs spanning horizontally, Circular tank over the ground and a Square Column Footing. These are the designs developed using AutoLISP software. Five Library functions are developed to get the 3D model for these designs. After getting the input parameters from the user, the required design structure will be generated automatically. The advantage of this tool is that since the library is created, the import of drawings in the structural analysis will be easy; it will shorten the design period compared to other software. Developing all types of slabs, stairs and tanks using this software will be more beneficial to improve the design efficiency and quality.
