Urban Machine's woodshop intern skillfully designed and built a Murphy-bed-like desk in Kelly's house, benefiting one of ABC's previously unhoused program participants.

ABC, which began with 20 unemployed artists in Oakland during the pandemic, redirected its focus to constructing emergency housing for the homeless. Amidst business closures and evictions, they aimed to create security in 12 tiny houses.

By Spring 2022, ABC achieved this goal and has since expanded, embarking on Tiny Home 15 in February 2023. Now with a team of 200 volunteers – artists, carpenters, activists, and advocates – ABC's mission endures.

Urban Machine is proud to have delivered a reclaimed wooden desk to help make the next tiny home a comfortable place to work and call home.

We are on a mission to reclaim the millions of tons of wood waste from construction and demolition by reclaiming it into high volume, locally sourced, premium lumber products.

By using AI, The Machine removes staples and nails from reclaimed wood to turn it into premium lumber products. This lowers the carbon footprint and solves the problem of wood waste.

We reclaim & co-create locally sourced premium lumber products, creating a circular economy. In doing this, we preserve secular forests, reduce logistical costs, and allow for the health benefits of wood in our environments to be reaped.

Cercula helped Beattie Passive on the first volumetric Passive House scheme. Cercula calculated that the housing development at Ferry Road would save 8,880 tonnes of carbon – with 85% less whole life carbon (33 tonnes vs 218 tonnes per home) compared to a traditional build –  equivalent to 20,640 barrels of oil.

digiQC is a quality control and assurance software designed for the construction industry. It ensures authenticity of data by permanently storing all records without any option to delete them. Photos for inspection checklists can only be taken through the app and not attached from the gallery to maintain authenticity. Authorization is mapped to ensure that only authorized personnel conduct specific inspections. The inspection is linked with the agency that performed the work, enabling performance evaluation. The team portal facilitates communication between the agency and external approvers, and there are no charges or restrictions on the number of users added to the portal.

Coastal Construction's team of eight estimators spend about 50% of their time manually tracing, clicking and dragging lines on a set of plans to perform a takeoff. With Togal.AI, Coastal saved 14.5 hours per plan set with the use of automated takeoff, automated naming, sharing, uploading, and collaboration features. They averaged 10 bids per month. 

That's 1,160 hours per month, or
13,920 hours per year!

Bringing a total first year savings of 
~$1 MILLION!

Coastal Construction’s Miami Office Saves ~$1 Million in First Year Using Togal.AI

Togal.AI has revolutionized pre-construction technology by developing the industry's most advanced solution, designed to automatically detect, measure, compare, and label project spaces and features on architectural drawings. By leveraging the power of AI and deep machine learning, Togal.AI saves you time and money by streamlining the estimation process and catching potential issues before they become costly problems. With collaboration feature, sharing takeoffs with other plan holders has never been easier. TogalGPT allows you to search across thousands of project documents and populate a response in seconds. With Togal.AI, you can trust that your pre-construction process is in good hands.

Eyal Ofer’s new Columbus Circle Building at 1841 Broadway has become first project in New York City, US, to use the AI construction platform Buildots.

After site data is captured via helmet-mounted 360-degree cameras and is automatically analysed using proprietary AI algorithms, Buildots provides the project management team with true-to-life progress reports supported by visuals. This is said to lead to improved efficiency in terms of costs, labour and time.

The 26-story, 298-ft.-tall building will include nearly 197,000 sq. ft. of residential space encompassing 123 housing units, as well as over 20,000 sq. ft. of commercial retail space. Its developer is Global Holdings Management Group.

New York project utilises ‘revolutionary’ AI technology

Construction needed to continuously see through walls and up buildings. It needed data that was intelligent, predictive, conclusive, and connected. Advanced AI and integrations that eliminate errors, delays and extremely expensive mistakes. It needed technology that could bring peace of mind to everyone involved.

And so Buildots was born.

In only three years, we went from three passionate co-founders to over 200 employees spanning two continents, connecting everyone through the same vision: Connection makes everything better, everyone stronger and pushes the industry forward.

Trammell Crow Company’s teams are dedicated to building value for its clients with professionals in 26 major cities throughout the United States and Europe. 

Trammell Crow Company

Trammell Crow Company (TCC), founded in 1948, is a global commercial real estate developer having developed or acquired nearly 2,900 buildings valued at $75 billion and over 655 million square feet

Giraffe was rolled out to all of TCC’s offices in the U.S. Having Giraffe accessible to TCC’s development team will save weeks of work across hundreds of projects a year.

Trammell Crow Company (TCC), a global real estate developer, engaged Giraffe to save their development teams valuable time when assessing dozens of sites for potential development.
‍
“We were in need of a tool set that gave our team an edge when exploring new development opportunities, especially since we would often review dozens of sites at a time to find the best option. By implementing Giraffe, our team was able to move at a faster speed when analyzing opportunities – our ability to assess a site went from weeks to hours with virtually no consultant involvement. Having this time back is incredibly valuable to our team and our business.” – Andrew Wallace, Senior Development Manager, TCC

After a six-month pilot program, Giraffe was rolled out to all of TCC’s offices in the U.S. The system is used to save TCC’s team valuable time and as a powerful communication device, bringing visual clarity to the firm’s pursuit process and stopping ideas from getting lost in
translation.

While Giraffe has unlocked significant success at TCC, this could only have been made possible by TCC’s appetite for continuous innovation. Having Giraffe accessible to TCC’s development team will save weeks of work across hundreds of projects a year, which translates into several years worth of development time in a single year.

OIS is Scaling Rapidly to Target New Commercial and Residential Projects in the Growing Southwest
Offsite Integrated Structures (OIS) is at the forefront of leveraging light gauge steel panels on major commercial and residential construction projects. Their products can rapidly reduce project schedules through the efficiency of design-build and offsite manufacturing in their state-of-the-art factories. Therefore, it’s no surprise that with surging demand in OIS’s target market, Southwestern United States, they have expanded production to western markets. Both their Denver, CO factory and Phoenix, AZ factory will cater to major commercial and residential projects in Denver, Austin, and Phoenix with expansion plans for California.
