AIAEC

Verified

AIAEC builds technology for the people who design, develop, and build the world. Helping architects, engineers, developers, construction teams, and real estate professionals get clear zoning, building code, compliance, and regulatory answers faster. Its first product, ChatAEC, turns complex zoning and land use rules into source-backed, defensible answers in seconds.

AIAEC Overview

AIAEC is the intelligence platform for the built world. The company builds artificial intelligence software made specifically for the architecture, engineering, construction, and commercial real estate industries, helping architects, engineers, developers, planners, municipalities, brokers, and consultants get faster answers to zoning, building code, land use, and regulatory questions. Rather than replacing professional judgment, the platform is designed to support it, giving teams a faster, more reliable starting point for decisions that used to take days of manual research. It unifies AEC research, workflows, and compliance in one AI native ecosystem, built around a simple idea, know before you build.

AIAEC was founded in Arizona by a team with decades of combined experience in civil engineering, land development, and municipal planning. That background shaped the company from day one. Instead of building generic AI capabilities and looking for a market to apply them to, the founders started with the everyday problems project teams already faced and built technology around how those teams actually work. Today, that team spans multiple offices across the United States, alongside a dedicated engineering group based in Beirut that builds and maintains the platform behind every product.

The company's first product, ChatAEC, was created to solve one of the industry's most persistent challenges, the time and effort required to research zoning ordinances, municipal codes, land use regulations, and development requirements. Project teams have long spent hours navigating municipal websites, reviewing planning documents, and interpreting dense regulatory language before they can even confirm whether a project is feasible. ChatAEC changes that by letting users ask questions in plain language and receive answers linked directly to the original ordinance, code, or planning document behind them. Every response can be verified at the point of origin, which means it can also be trusted and shared with confidence across a client, a partner, or a municipal reviewer, without anyone needing to retrace the research from scratch.

AIAEC's work is anchored by SEG, a civil engineering firm, and supported by a partnership with ICC for direct code access, giving the platform a depth of regulatory grounding that is difficult to replicate. That structure lets ChatAEC determine what can be built on a property, review permitted and conditional uses, and identify permitting requirements early, well before capital or design hours are committed to a site. This early clarity helps teams evaluate more opportunities with more confidence, since the risk of missing a costly regulatory detail drops sharply once the research itself becomes verifiable rather than assumed, whether the work involves a single parcel or a portfolio spread across several jurisdictions.

The company's engineering team continues to expand the platform's capabilities, with the long term goal of extending AI powered support across additional phases of the project lifecycle, from early research through workflow management and compliance review, so that one connected system carries a project from first feasibility question through to permit approval. AIAEC believes artificial intelligence should amplify professional expertise, not replace it, and its mission reflects that goal directly, research in minutes, permit approvals in days, confidence in every decision.

QPoint

QPoint is AIAEC’s AI-powered plan review platform, built to help project teams and municipalities identify potential issues earlier in the permitting process. QPoint analyzes permit documents against jurisdiction-specific requirements, flags missing information and code mismatches, compares revisions, and provides findings tied to the relevant source or code section. Supporting more than 173 jurisdictions, QPoint helps architects, engineers, contractors, developers and public agencies identify potential issues before submission.

ChatAEC

ChatAEC is an AI-powered regulatory intelligence platform for architects, engineers, developers, brokers, and municipal staff. It answers zoning, land use, building code, and permitting questions in seconds, with responses linked directly to the underlying municipal ordinances and codes. Users search by address or parcel to get feasibility answers and exportable due-diligence reports instead of hours of manual research.
