<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><img src="https://aecplustech-files.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/61d0ceef-f5e6-476c-99ba-639f5cd60ebc.png" alt="" width="1080"></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The client loves the scheme, then asks what the facade looks like in brick instead of stone, and the meeting stalls because the only honest answer is "let me render that and get back to you." Every architect knows that stall.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">At AEC+Tech, we've watched the AEC tools we cover get very good at making the picture look real. What's changing now is where that picture sits in the process, moving from documentation into the decision itself.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">For most of the last decade, progress in architectural visualization has been measured in image quality. Physically accurate lighting, richer material systems, and real-time ray tracing have closed much of the gap between a render and a photograph. <strong>What used to count as exceptional is now the baseline clients expect.</strong></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Rendering has improved fast. One part of the workflow has barely moved.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Design reviews still lean on static images, pre-rendered animations, and fixed camera paths. Those outputs record decisions well enough, but they sit outside the conversation. The moment a meeting turns toward a different material, a new lighting condition, or an alternate scheme, the presentation stalls while someone prepares fresh visuals elsewhere.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">That gap matters more as practice becomes more collaborative. Clients, consultants, engineers, and developers now weigh in across the whole design process, not only at the end. Meetings have turned into working sessions where decisions take shape in the room. The way architecture gets presented has to keep up with that.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">So visualization is starting to play a different part. Beyond the final picture, it is becoming a medium for discussion, comparison, and decisions made on the spot. The next step forward may be interaction as much as realism.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Every architect knows the moment a client asks to see it another way and the room goes quiet waiting on new visuals. D5 says 3.1 closes that gap, and will <span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong><a href="https://www.d5render.com/webinars/whats-new-in-d5-3-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prove it live on July 21</a></strong></span></span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Answer "Can We See It Another Way?" On the Spot&nbsp;</span></strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">This is the thinking behind <a href="https://bit.ly/d5-3-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>D5 3.1.</strong></a></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Plenty of tools compete on how convincing the picture looks. Fewer ask what happens to it once a room full of stakeholders starts pushing back.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The release starts from a practical question: how does visualization stay useful once the meeting starts?</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">D5's answer is Interactive Presentation, a workflow that lets architects organize a review like a slide deck while keeping the live project open behind it.</span></p>

<div>
<p dir="ltr">Instead of preparing several image sets or separate animations ahead of time, teams can move between design schemes, materials, lighting, weather, viewpoints, and object visibility inside a single presentation. A question that used to interrupt the review can be explored right away. Real-time scene switching runs through slides and 3D triggers, so the flow of the meeting holds together.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The presentation becomes a working space for the design, one the team can steer as the discussion moves.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Let Clients Walk the Space Before It Exists&nbsp;</span></strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr">Interactive Presentation sits inside a wider set of tools aimed at making review more interactive and easier to adapt to the room.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Stereoscopic Panorama brings depth-aware panoramic views to VR, which helps clients and project teams read scale, materials, and how spaces relate to one another. Better VR navigation and controller handling make VR walkthroughs steady enough for everyday reviews rather than occasional demos.</p>
<strong id="docs-internal-guid-9ee4bad2-7fff-95c1-c68f-c2647d295577"></strong></div>
<div>
<p dir="ltr">Spatial Tour has moved along too, with faster scene generation, smoother transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces, and dollhouse views that make it simpler to move through a complicated project.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These tools sit alongside still renders and animations and widen the options, so a team can pick the right way to explore a design based on the audience, the project stage, and what the review needs to settle.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Start Seeing the Design the Moment You Model It&nbsp;</span></strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr">The quality of any review depends on everything that happens before it.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As visualization gets pulled deeper into design work, architects increasingly want to test ideas while those ideas are still moving, instead of waiting for documentation to finish. In that sense, presentation begins earlier than the slide deck. It begins when a team first tries out form, light, material, atmosphere, and how a space feels to move through.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In practice, the visual thinking usually happens long before anyone opens presentation software, and tools have been slow to meet designers there.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">That continuity reaches past D5 Render itself. After its earlier <a href="https://www.aecplustech.com/tools/sketchup">SketchUp</a> release, D5 Lite now works inside Rhino and <a href="https://www.aecplustech.com/tools/revit">Revit</a>, bringing real-time visualization into more of the tools architects already use. Designers can preview materials, lighting, and visual direction without leaving the modeling environment, which supports quicker exploration during concept work, massing studies, facade development, and iterative testing.</p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech-files.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/faae324a-8c58-4578-aac2-06f9faac39b1.png" alt="D5 Lite: Visualize projects directly inside Rhino, Revit and Sketchup" width="1080">

<div>
<p dir="ltr">D5 Lite is built for that early work, making design decisions more visual from the start. When a project needs higher-end imagery, animation, or an interactive presentation, the work carries on into D5 Render. Paired with Cloud Collaboration, distributed teams can review and share work with less reliance on manual file swaps or local hardware, which keeps things continuous from concept through client review.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>Photoreal That Holds Up When Clients Look Closely&nbsp;</strong></span></h2>
<p dir="ltr">As presentations get more interactive, the visuals behind them matter even more. A live scene only works if it holds up when someone leans in.</p>
<p dir="ltr">D5 Render 3.1 adds a set of production-focused improvements that strengthen realism while keeping real-time response.&nbsp;</p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech-files.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/84679fde-46df-4239-985d-65e93278fb1f.png" alt="ACEScg Color Space preserves richer HDR color detail and supports professional ACES workflows" width="1080">

</figure>
<p dir="ltr">The move to an ACEScg working color space brings in a production-grade color pipeline, the kind used in film and visual effects, which improves color consistency across visualization and post-production. HeightField Tracing gives displacement materials richer surface relief without adding geometric weight, so brick, stone, and timber keep convincing physical depth even in large scenes.</p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech-files.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/196052f2-45b2-4577-a1c1-32e97aa7bc83.png" alt="Seasonal Vegetation lets foliage and branch structure change by date, previewing all seasons in one scene" width="1080">
<figcaption spellcheck="false" data-qb-tmp-id="lt-626429" data-gramm="false"><em>Seasonal Vegetation lets foliage and branch structure change by date, previewing all seasons in one scene</em></figcaption>
</figure>
<p dir="ltr">Landscape work gains more nuance through Seasonal Vegetation, which lets foliage and branch structure change by date and previews a full year of a planting scheme in one scene. A run of smaller refinements rounds it out, including Custom Pivot, MeasureLine, improved City Generator controls, smarter Auto Exposure, and wider Gaussian Splatting support. Each one trims repetitive adjustments and keeps production moving.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It adds up to one point. An interactive presentation is only as good as the rendering underneath it, and that rendering has to hold both fidelity and speed at once.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>From Better Images to Better Decisions&nbsp;</strong></span></h2>
<p dir="ltr">Architectural visualization has spent years chasing realism. That work continues, though realism on its own no longer defines the field.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As projects get more collaborative, the ability to move between options, respond to feedback, and explain a design in context is becoming just as important. Presentations are becoming part of the design process itself.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="ltr"><strong><em>"The tools we end up writing about at AEC+Tech are rarely the ones with the longest feature list. They're the ones that change how a decision gets made."&nbsp; &mdash; Niknaz Aftahi&nbsp;</em></strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="ltr">D5 3.1 reflects that direction. It builds presentation into the design work, making visualization a place where ideas can be explored, compared, and refined with the people in the room.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Whether this turns out to be the next phase of the discipline is still an open question. The goal is clearly shifting, from producing better images toward better conversations about the work.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The biggest change in D5 3.1 sits outside the render itself. Visualization now stays in play through the whole conversation, long after the image is done.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>See it live&nbsp;</strong></span></h2>

D5 Render 3.1 turns design reviews into live sessions. Interactive Presentation switches schemes, materials, and lighting on the spot; D5 Lite reaches Rhino and Revit. 

D5 3.1 Wants to End the "We'll Render It Tomorrow" Moment

<div><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><img src="https://aecplustech-files.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/5741b41d-2b98-40f9-9a96-00550e6d0a57.png" alt="InspectMind AI" width="1080"></span></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Most conversations about AI in construction start with speed.&nbsp;</span></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">&ldquo;How many hours did we save?&rdquo;</span></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">&ldquo;How many pages could we review in minutes?"&nbsp;</span></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">But a recent aec+tech conversation on AI-driven plan review made a more useful point: the tools save time, but the real reason to adopt them is risk.<strong id="docs-internal-guid-dcacfc00-7fff-ed9c-247a-6474ead9a5a0"></strong></span></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0nEGFxC7as">This conversation</a> brought together Colton Johnson, Principal Engineer at Flint Engineering Company; Aakash Prasad, Co-founder and CEO of InspectMind AI; and Simon G. Solorio, President of Solorio Inc. Much of the discussion centered on InspectMind AI's plan-checking tool, though the takeaways apply to any firm weighing this kind of software.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">In this article you&rsquo;ll see where AI plan review helps, where it falls short, and why a firm with weak internal processes will not get much out of it no matter how good the software gets.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong><span style="font-size: 18px; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Reading a Pictorial Language</span></strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr">Plan review is not just about reading text. Construction documents carry meaning through symbols, callouts, line weights, and schedules that change from one project type to the next. An industrial set does not look like a large residential set. Every new hire has to learn how to read that visual system before they can review anything in it.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="ltr"><em>"Construction documents are a language, and on top of that they're a pictorial language. You're relying on graphic and visual cues to display the information, translating heavy analysis and code requirements into those pictures."</em></p>
<p dir="ltr"><em>&mdash; Colton Johnson, Principal Engineer, Flint Engineering Company</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="ltr">Solorio described the second half of the problem: volume.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Even with tools like <a href="https://www.aecplustech.com/tools/revit">Revit</a> and virtual walk-throughs on Meta Quest headsets, engineers still check ever-changing building codes by hand and coordinate across disciplines. Holding hundreds of pages of drawings against dense architectural, structural, mechanical, and civil specifications is a cognitive load that does not scale. There is only so much one person can keep straight at once, and plan sets keep getting bigger.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That is the gap AI steps into. Not the design work or the engineering judgment, but the slow, repetitive cross-checking that wears people down and still lets errors slip through.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">A Third-Party Reviewer That Works Through Lunch</span></strong></p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech-files.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/bb52d8a0-3272-45e5-b6a9-e96e1717194f.png" alt="Errors missed in review surface on site, where fixes cost most." width="1080">

</figure>
<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong id="docs-internal-guid-eeaebb3d-7fff-d5c7-2013-b5845ec20d81"></strong></span></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">AI is a third-party reviewer. It&rsquo;s not a replacement for the engineer or the plan checker, but an extra set of eyes that never gets tired and never skips a page.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Prasad said InspectMind AI can typically review a 100- to 200-page project in one to two hours. In that window it catches discrepancies between drawings and specs, flags cross-discipline coordination issues, and checks against </span><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">selected/applicable codes and references. It surfaces a prioritized set of findings while the team continues other work.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">InspectMind AI has flagged a water main running straight into a 12-inch concrete pipe. It has caught a storm sewer drawn with no slope, which means it would never drain. These are the errors that hide on page 140 of a set and get expensive once they reach the field.&nbsp;</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="ltr"><em><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">"This isn't replacing your own diligence or your own quality of work. It's a useful automated review tool that helps you reduce risk and liability and improve quality overall."</span></em></p>
<p dir="ltr"><em><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">&mdash; Aakash Prasad, Co-founder and CEO, InspectMind AI&nbsp;</span></em></p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The discussion was honest about the limits, too. AI still struggles to read the purely graphical parts of a drawing when there are no words or numbers to anchor it. That should improve over the next few years, but for now InspectMind AI is strongest where drawings, specs, and code references can be grounded and cited. Purely graphical meaning, where the intent lives only in the picture, is still an area where human review matters.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong><span style="font-size: 18px; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">From Months of Back-and-Forth to Days&nbsp;</span></strong></h2>
<div>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech-files.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/c6175af5-f771-4066-a384-2d4991e7ce06.png" alt="InspectMind AI tags each finding by severity, discipline, and code." width="1080">

</figure>
</div>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">A minor discrepancy on a drawing is not just a quality problem. It is a liability problem. Prasad pointed to ADA compliance as an example. A ramp drawn with a 2.2 percent slope instead of the required 2 percent maximum is a small number on a sheet and a frequent target for litigation. Catching it before construction starts is worth far more than the hour it saved.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The same logic runs downstream. Errors that survive review become Requests for Information (RFIs) and change orders once contractors are on site. Each one costs time and money and strains the client relationship. The financial case lives in catching those errors early.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">A church project in California shows how that plays out. The design firm ran its full drawing set <strong>(architecture, civil, structural, and specs)</strong> through InspectMind AI before submitting to the city. The AI flagged around 300 issues. The team fixed them first. When the city's review came back, the comments were mostly minor, and the firm closed them out in days rather than the weeks or months a project like this can take.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">That is the payoff that matters. Not the hours saved running the review, but the weeks of back-and-forth with the jurisdiction that never happened, and the rework that never reached the field.</span></p>

<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The strongest warning has always been against leaning on the tools too hard. The old 'garbage in, garbage out' rule still stands.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The software is powerful, but it sits on top of a firm's inputs, its standards, and the judgment of the people running it.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Solorio made the case for foundational knowledge. Junior engineers still need to learn the basics through hand calculations and free-body diagrams so they understand how loads travel and what a structural member is actually doing. Without that, an engineer cannot tell when the AI is wrong.</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><em>"If you put in garbage, you're going to get out garbage, and that's still true with these new programs. If you put in something wrong, it gives you something wrong. You have to know the basics to know when it's giving you wrong information."</em></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><em>&mdash; Simon G. Solorio, President, Solorio Inc.</em></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Johnson framed the same idea as a sequence. He sees a working AI workflow as a three-tier system.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">A firm establishes good internal processes first. Then it introduces standard automations. Only then does it put AI at what he called the tip of the spear. Skip the first two steps and there is nothing solid for the AI to stand on. When a firm's drawing standards and inputs are inconsistent, there is no realistic way to scale an AI workflow on top of them.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Own the Output</span></strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Accountability is the other side of this. When an engineer signs off on a design, they own it, whatever tools helped produce it.</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="ltr"><em><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">"The motto we live by with AI is own the output. Just because you have a cool tool doesn't mean you get to say that the tool is the reason something was wrong. You own the output."</span></em></p>
<p dir="ltr"><em><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">&mdash; Colton Johnson, Principal Engineer, Flint Engineering Company</span></em></p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">That has a practical edge. Johnson raised data security, pointing out that client information needs to stay protected under NDAs when a firm runs it through a third-party AI platform. Owning the output means owning the data path, too. Before uploading project documents, firms should evaluate the data path and the platform's NDA and security requirements. That is a question to settle before the first project goes up, not after.&nbsp;</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Built by the People Who Use It</span></strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The panel closed on what actually makes these tools better, and the answer was feedback from the field rather than anything happening in a lab. Solorio and Johnson both pointed to the value of a simple thumbs up or thumbs down on each flagged issue. That input teaches the model the difference between a real problem and an irrelevant false positive, which is the difference between a tool engineers trust and one they learn to ignore.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Because AEC technology moves quickly, the tools that respond to this feedback can change almost daily. Johnson offered an example from a job site. He floated the idea of having the plan checker automatically generate a targeted field observation checklist based on the specific materials and structural elements it found in the drawings. Within hours, the development team had piloted a connection between the plan checker and a site inspection app.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">That speed of iteration is the point underneath the whole conversation.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The AI plan review tools that earn a place in AEC workflows will be the ones built and shaped by the people doing the work, not the ones that promise to do the thinking for them. The engineers on this panel were not looking for software to replace their judgment. They were looking for a reviewer that helps them protect it. That is a smaller promise than replacing an engineer, and a far more useful one.</span></p>

<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>Primepoint is a construction intelligence platform built to solve one of the industry's hardest and most overlooked problems: understanding construction drawings at scale. Construction projects run on drawings, and Primepoint is designed to understand them the way an experienced engineer does.</p>
<p>Its vision-based AI reads linework, tags, and cross-document references, then connects drawings to the specifications, RFIs, submittals, and revisions that relate to them.</p>
<h2>The Construction Knowledge Graph</h2>
<p>The result is a construction knowledge graph mapping thousands of pages of project data down to the individual tag level - linking a door tag to its schedule and finish, a submittal to its spec section, and an RFI to the drawing detail it references.</p>
<p>That tag-level granularity is what distinguishes this from document search. Most platforms can find the page a door appears on; connecting that specific door to its hardware set, fire rating and approved submittal is a different technical problem.</p>
<h2>Verifiable Answers</h2>
<p>This structural understanding powers Primepoint's core promise: verifiable answers. Every response the platform produces traces back to the exact drawing detail or specification section that supports it, eliminating the hallucinations that make general-purpose AI risky on a jobsite.</p>
<p>As one customer put it, in construction "almost correct isn't good enough." Primepoint is built for mathematical certainty over approximation - which is the necessary standard when an answer feeds a change order or a fabrication release.</p>
<h2>Features</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Drawing comprehension</strong> - vision-based AI reading linework, tags and cross-references, not just text</li>
<li><strong>Submittal review</strong> - checking submittals against project requirements</li>
<li><strong>RFI management</strong> - checking incoming RFIs against the contract documents and drafting new ones</li>
<li><strong>Revision narratives and overlays</strong> - generated automatically when new drawing sets are issued</li>
<li><strong>Marvin intelligence layer</strong> - ask any project question in plain English and get an instant, sourced answer</li>
</ul>
<p>Tasks that once took days of manual review can be prepared in minutes, so teams review and refine rather than start from scratch.</p>
<h2>Use Cases</h2>
<ul>
<li>Catching drawing and specification conflicts before they reach the field</li>
<li>Accelerating submittal and RFI turnaround during construction</li>
<li>Understanding what actually changed between drawing revisions</li>
<li>Answering project queries without manual document trawling</li>
<li>Reducing rework and change orders from preconstruction through closeout</li>
</ul>
<h2>Integrations</h2>
<p>Primepoint integrates natively with the systems teams already use, syncing drawings, submittals and RFIs directly with <strong>Autodesk Construction Cloud</strong> and <strong>Procore</strong> - so there are no manual uploads or disrupted workflows.</p>
<h2>Security</h2>
<p>Security is enterprise-grade. Primepoint uses a single-tenant architecture with always-on encryption, is SOC 2 Type II compliant, and never uses customer data to train external or shared AI models. Client data stays isolated.</p>
<p>For contractors, that last point is not a technicality - project documents contain commercially sensitive pricing and design information that cannot be allowed to leak into a shared model.</p>
<h2>Team</h2>
<p>Primepoint was built by a team with expertise across artificial intelligence, product, and construction. CEO Lubomir Bourdev is a founding member of Facebook AI Research and a pioneer in computer vision. The founding team includes senior product leaders from Atlassian, Uber and Microsoft, alongside construction veterans who managed large-scale projects at firms such as Webcor and Turner.</p>
<p>That pairing of AI research with lived construction experience is central to why the platform addresses both the technology and the real challenges of complex jobs.</p>
<h2>Who Uses Primepoint</h2>
<p>The platform is trusted by general contractors including Sundt Construction, Fortis Construction, Herrero Boldt Webcor, W.E. O'Neil, Milender White, and Bulley &amp; Andrews.</p>
<p>By turning static PDFs and disconnected documents into connected, actionable intelligence, Primepoint helps contractors catch risks earlier, reduce rework and change orders, and give overloaded project teams the leverage to move faster with confidence.</p>

Primepoint's AI reads construction drawings, specs, RFIs and submittals into one knowledge graph, delivering sourced answers. Integrates with ACC and Procore.

<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>Nonica is the developer of NonicaTab, a Revit plugin that consolidates the most popular Revit tools into a single customisable toolbar and connects Autodesk Revit to AI. The company's positioning is direct: one Revit tab, not twelve.</p>
<p>Blanca Serrano and Jaime Alonso developed the first version of NonicaTab at the end of 2020. Since then its features have changed how many Autodesk Revit and Dynamo professionals work. The team has been an Autodesk Authorised Developer since March 2021, and an official Anthropic integration partner since 2025. NonicaTab is trusted by more than 43,000 Revit professionals.</p>
<h2>Key Features</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>One consolidated toolbar</strong> - the most popular Revit tools gathered in one place rather than spread across a dozen separate plugins</li>
<li><strong>AI Connector for Revit</strong> - ask Claude to read, report on, or modify a Revit model directly</li>
<li><strong>Customisable toolbars</strong> - firms configure Revit ribbons with the tools they actually use</li>
<li><strong>Dynamo integration</strong> - publish and share Dynamo scripts as native Revit buttons, with no coding required</li>
<li><strong>Export and import</strong>, Connect &amp; Protect, and reporting graphs</li>
<li><strong>Custom branding</strong> and flexible licensing for firm-wide rollout</li>
</ul>
<p>The Dynamo-to-button capability addresses a familiar practical problem: a useful script written by one person tends to stay with that person, because colleagues will not open Dynamo to run it. Turning it into a ribbon button is what makes it a firm asset rather than an individual one.</p>
<h2>AI Connector for Revit</h2>
<p>The AI Connector is Nonica's most distinctive feature and an official Anthropic integration. In the PRO tier Claude has full access across more than 50 tools and can report on, edit parameters within, and document a model. The free tier provides read-only access across 36 tools, so Claude can analyse and report but not modify.</p>
<p>The read-only free tier is a sensible design choice - it lets teams evaluate AI model interrogation without any risk of unintended changes to live project models.</p>
<h2>Pricing</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>NonicaTab FREE</strong> - 0 EUR, roughly 20% of PRO features: 12 popular tools, limited read-only AI Connector, basic support, with extra tools available at 25 EUR each</li>
<li><strong>NonicaTab PRO</strong> - 85 EUR per member per year: all 38 popular tools, full AI Connector, export/import, Connect &amp; Protect, reporting graphs, webinars and recordings, flexible licensing and custom branding</li>
<li><strong>Enterprise</strong> - pay per session, with all PRO features plus Genius support</li>
</ul>
<p>Compatibility runs from Revit 2020 through to Revit 2027.</p>
<h2>Who It Is For</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Profile</strong> - architecture and engineering firms using Autodesk Revit</li>
<li><strong>Size</strong> - organisations with more than 10 BIM professionals</li>
<li><strong>Needs</strong> - teams tired of broken plugins and ready to bring AI into Revit</li>
</ul>
<h2>Use Cases and Rollout</h2>
<p>Nonica sets out a four-step adoption path for teams implementing AI in Revit:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Test it</strong> - review and fix a Revit model with the Claude Desktop App using the 30-day free trial from the Autodesk App Store</li>
<li><strong>Prepare it</strong> - write standard prompts and save them as Projects in the Claude Desktop App</li>
<li><strong>Share it</strong> - implement across a small team of 10 to 15 colleagues, sharing prompts via Claude Teams or Enterprise</li>
<li><strong>Deploy it</strong> - roll out organisation-wide with an MSI installer, updated remotely as needed</li>
</ol>
<h2>Who Uses NonicaTab</h2>
<p>Users include WSP, AECOM, Skanska, Arup, Buro Happold, EllisDon, FCC, Infrabuild and Sweco. The plugin is available on the Autodesk App Store and has been featured by The Building Coder, BIM Pure, Butic, Zigurat and TU Delft, which lists it among its student software tools.</p>
<h2>Team</h2>
<p><strong>Jaime Alonso, Co-founder and CTO</strong> - combined work as an architect with advanced Autodesk Revit API programming before co-founding Nonica. He contributes to several open-source projects and speaks at BIM user groups, educational institutions and events including Autodesk DevCon and TU Delft.</p>
<p><strong>Blanca Serrano, Co-founder and COO</strong> - previously worked in project management and team coordination, and is responsible for customer relations alongside administrative, commercial and accounting functions, sharing leadership of product development.</p>
<h2>Related Resources</h2>
<p>Nonica also maintains the Revit API Documentation and Civil 3D API Documentation reference sites, the A.I. Connector for Revit and Revit MCP projects, BIM Events World, and a webinar community. The company operates from Barcelona, Spain, with a presence in the Netherlands.</p>

<h2>About Morroni</h2>
<p>Morroni is a Munich-based Computational Design Studio operating at the intersection of architecture, design, and advanced technology. Combining expertise in parametric design, digital fabrication, DfAM, and automation, the studio develops custom workflows to solve complex design challenges across industries - from architecture and automotive to consumer, medical, and industrial applications.</p>
<p>Its work spans computational and generative design, additive manufacturing, digital fabrication, and large-scale 3D printed architecture using sustainable materials. Morroni conducts innovative research and develops novel design methodologies and parametric systems, using processes that shift the boundaries of what is possible in design.</p>
<h2>Computational Design</h2>
<p>Morroni solves complex design problems with the help of code, algorithms, and advanced computer processing, enabling tailor-made efficient design and architecture.</p>
<ul>
<li>Parametric design</li>
<li>Generative design</li>
<li>Iterative and performative models</li>
<li>Complex modelling</li>
<li>Smart patterns and surface texturing</li>
<li>Dashboarding and visualisations</li>
</ul>
<h2>Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM)</h2>
<p>With strong experience in design for additive manufacturing, architecture, and construction, the studio solves problems from large-scale additive manufacturing to custom G-code and toolpath generation.</p>
<ul>
<li>Design for additive manufacturing</li>
<li>Lattice structures</li>
<li>Custom toolpath and G-code generation</li>
<li>Design for 3DCP, FGF and SLS processes</li>
</ul>
<p>Writing toolpaths directly is a meaningful distinction. Most design-for-print work stops at geometry and hands off to slicing software; controlling the G-code means controlling how the material is actually deposited, which on large-scale concrete printing determines whether the structure stands up.</p>
<h2>Design for Digital Fabrication</h2>
<p>Morroni works towards closing the "digital chain" from design to fabrication with parametric 3D planning, optimisation and digital production. The studio handles data preparation and ensures all individual parts fit together.</p>
<ul>

<ul>
<li>True large additive manufacturing</li>
<li>Functional integrated design</li>
<li>Circular building solutions</li>
</ul>
<p>Combining recycled feedstock with printed architecture targets two problems at once - construction waste and embodied carbon - which is why circular material strategies and additive manufacturing increasingly appear together.</p>

<p>With a background in academia and teaching, Morroni consults on bringing digital planning, fabrication and automation processes to the next level.</p>
<ul>
<li>Consulting</li>
<li>Workshops</li>
<li>Teaching</li>
</ul>

<h2>About ModCity</h2>
<p>Urban development is often biased towards either speed, costs or quality, seldom reaching an optimum. ModCity supports projects with a set of integral 3D tools that directly link a design or urban massing study to financial and other calculation models - without having to manually transfer data to spreadsheets.</p>
<p>This makes fast design cycles possible while keeping a grip on finance, quality and process, and can help fulfil the promise of inclusive and sustainable development.</p>
<p>ModCity B.V. is based in Heemstede, the Netherlands, and has been facilitating faster, better and more efficient urban design processes for over 16 years.</p>
<h2>Area Information Modelling and the Urban Toolbox</h2>
<p>ModCity's proprietary software, the Urban Toolbox, supports what the company calls Area Information Modelling - BIM thinking applied at neighbourhood, area or city scale rather than to a single building.</p>
<p>That shift in scale is the substance of the product. Building-level BIM is well established, but the decisions that determine whether an area development works financially are made at masterplan scale, where teams have typically fallen back on spreadsheets disconnected from the drawing.</p>
<p>The stated goal is to disrupt the traditionally linear and monodisciplinary decision-making process.</p>
<h2>Three-Step Workflow</h2>
<h3>1. Setting the Stage</h3>
<p>Every intervention in the urban environment should be based on a thorough analysis of the present situation. ModCity integrates GIS and other datasets from interdependent disciplines of area development - cadastral data, land use, mobility, environmental issues, water and urban density - and presents them in a single interface serving as an underlayer for 2D and 3D studies.</p>
<ul>
<li>GIS and CAD import / export</li>
<li>Calculation of financial and spatial constraints</li>
<li>Development of a database for the existing context</li>
</ul>
<h3>2. Developing Scenarios</h3>
<p>The Urban Toolbox combines the 3D modelling and visualisation potential of SketchUp with data capability, creating a common digital playground for architects, urban designers, developers, investors and policy-makers. The pipeline requires no training and can be implemented across building teams, so fast design cycles allow the solution space to be explored more broadly.</p>
<ul>
<li>Parametric modelling</li>
<li>Live sync with Excel spreadsheets</li>
<li>Comparison of multiple scenarios at the click of a button</li>
</ul>
<h3>3. Optimising the Design</h3>
<p>With real-time monitoring and evaluation, teams can test multiple detailed design scenarios against design, legal compliance, financial viability and more. Clients can link their own database or parameters to the Toolbox, or use the extensive included defaults. All financial models are DCF-based and suitable for decision-making.</p>
<ul>
<li>Real-time financial models</li>
<li>Reports generated with chosen KPIs</li>
<li>Customisable models</li>
</ul>
<h2>ModCity for Municipalities</h2>
<p>A municipality's role can range from merely facilitating developments to active participation, and both are complex because each development must comply with local and national policy.</p>
<ul>
<li>Analyse and select suitable locations for new developments and transformations</li>
<li>Speed up internal planning processes</li>
<li>Assess development plans from project developers</li>
<li>Land development cash flow modelling</li>
<li>Assess land value using residual land value and other valuation methods</li>
</ul>
<h2>ModCity for Developers and Investors</h2>
<ul>
<li>Control cash flows, capital requirements and yield during each development phase</li>
<li>Quickly investigate different design concepts</li>
<li>Use existing Excel models linked to ModCity's calculation models</li>
<li>Support discussions with municipalities on land value and other issues</li>
</ul>
<h2>ModCity for Architects and Urbanists</h2>
<p>For designers the challenge is finding a solution where spatial quality, functionality and performance - financial, mobility, sustainability - are in balance. ModCity brings the tools to test multiple urban massing options into the SketchUp environment.</p>
<ul>
<li>Fast and intuitive parametric modelling</li>
<li>Rapid design generation and iteration</li>
<li>Direct feedback on urban density, land use, real estate programme, parking and traffic generation</li>
</ul>
<h2>ModCity-as-a-Service</h2>
<ul>
<li>Creation and assessment of 2D and 3D massing studies</li>
<li>Inventory, analysis and management of spatial and financial data during planning</li>
<li>DCF models and dashboarding for land development, real estate development and management, rent, land lease and public space</li>
<li>Calculation models for land use, real estate programme and diversity, parking, traffic generation, water use and management, energy and material use</li>
<li>Financial consultancy for urban development projects</li>
<li>Valuation of land and real estate development projects</li>
<li>Selection and comparison of potential development or transformation locations</li>
</ul>
<h2>Origins and Team</h2>
<p>ModCity was founded by LiPS life.people.space, Conix RDBM Architects, Big Picture and Robin Seijdel. Robin is the main face behind ModCity, with a background in Sustainable Urban Development and contributions to the development of several Decision Support Systems.</p>

<h2>About Matera</h2>
<p>Matera is an early-stage platform exploring how AI can bring greater visibility from specification to sale across the AEC industry.</p>
<p>Today, the process between material specification, procurement, distribution, and construction execution remains highly fragmented. Architects, designers, contractors, developers, manufacturers, and distributors often work across disconnected systems, spreadsheets, PDFs, emails, and manual workflows. As projects evolve, material substitutions, pricing changes, availability constraints, and communication gaps can create significant inefficiencies between what is designed and what is ultimately built.</p>
<p>Matera is being developed to help bridge these gaps through building materials intelligence, procurement visibility, and workflow automation.</p>
<h2>The Problem</h2>
<p>The vision behind Matera comes from over 20 years of experience across building materials, architectural sales, procurement, operations, and construction coordination within the AEC industry. Throughout that experience, a consistent challenge became clear: there is often limited visibility between design intent, procurement realities, and downstream execution.</p>
<p>Material decisions made early in the design process can significantly impact project budgets, timelines, substitutions, installation coordination, and final project quality - yet many teams still lack the connected information to make those decisions well. The gap is a familiar one in practice: a specification written in month two becomes a substitution request in month fourteen, by which point the original reasoning has usually been lost.</p>
<h2>Areas of Exploration</h2>
<p>The platform focuses on helping teams better understand material specifications in the context of real-world procurement and construction workflows. Current areas of exploration include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Specification and document analysis</li>
<li>Material intelligence workflows</li>
<li>Procurement coordination</li>
<li>Supply chain visibility</li>
<li>Specification-to-sale tracking</li>
<li>Workflow automation across AEC teams</li>
<li>AI-assisted operational workflows for material management</li>
</ul>
<p>The goal is not simply to digitise existing workflows, but to create clearer connections between the people, products, and decisions that shape construction projects from concept through completion.</p>
<h2>Reducing Manual Workflow Burden</h2>
<p>In many construction projects, teams spend significant time manually reviewing specifications, coordinating substitutions, tracking approvals, validating product information, and communicating across multiple stakeholders. These workflows are often repetitive, fragmented, and difficult to standardise across organisations.</p>
<p>Matera is exploring how AI-assisted systems may help streamline portions of these processes while improving transparency and coordination between teams.</p>
<h2>Structuring Building Materials Data</h2>
<p>The platform is being developed with an understanding that building materials data is often inconsistent, unstructured, and distributed across multiple formats and systems. Product information may exist in specifications, submittals, technical sheets, emails, spreadsheets, ERP systems, distributor catalogues, or manufacturer databases.</p>
<p>Matera is exploring ways to organise and connect this information in a more structured and actionable format that supports both operational workflows and strategic decision-making.</p>
<h2>Specification-to-Sale Visibility</h2>
<p>Another area of interest is the relationship between specification activity and downstream sales visibility. Manufacturers and distributors often have limited insight into how products move from specification through procurement and final installation.</p>
<p>Matera is exploring how improved visibility across these stages could support stronger coordination, forecasting, and project tracking throughout the supply chain. For manufacturers, this is a commercially significant blind spot: a product specified early may or may not survive value engineering, and there is often no signal either way until an order arrives or does not.</p>
<h2>Current Stage</h2>
<p>Matera is currently in its early stages and continuing to evolve through industry conversations, workflow testing, and collaboration with professionals across architecture, design, construction, manufacturing, and distribution. The company is focused on learning directly from industry participants to better understand where operational bottlenecks exist and where AI-enabled workflows may provide meaningful value.</p>
<h2>Focus Areas</h2>
<ul>
<li>AI adoption in AEC</li>
<li>Construction technology</li>
<li>Material workflows</li>
<li>Procurement intelligence</li>
<li>Operational visibility across the built environment</li>
<li>Data-driven coordination across project stakeholders</li>
</ul>
<h2>Long-Term Vision</h2>
<p>As the AEC industry continues to adopt new technologies and AI-driven workflows, Matera is exploring how building materials data and procurement intelligence can become a more connected part of the project lifecycle.</p>
<p>The broader vision is to help create a more transparent, coordinated, and intelligent ecosystem for managing building materials across design, procurement, and construction operations.</p>

Matera is an AI platform connecting building material specification, procurement and construction workflows to give AEC teams specification-to-sale visibility.

<h2>About Martinuzzi Interiors</h2>
<p>Martinuzzi Interiors is a high-end interior design firm based in Zurich, Switzerland. The practice combines the art of luxury with the finesse of Swiss craftsmanship, delivering spaces that tell each client's story.</p>
<p>As the studio describes it, Martinuzzi Interiors is more than a design company - it is a philosophy, a way of approaching spaces and life with a sense of purpose and meaning. At the heart of that philosophy is the belief that the spaces we inhabit have a profound influence on our lives: whether a home, an office or a public space, the way a space is designed can evoke emotion, shape thought and influence experience.</p>
<h2>Design Approach</h2>
<p>The team describes itself not simply as designers but as visionaries shaping stories through space. Its dedication lies in translating a client's personality into the design, creating environments and living spaces that resonate with their essence.</p>
<p>With a commitment to quality, creativity and client satisfaction, the studio transforms spaces into living works of art intended to elevate the client's lifestyle. The practice blends contemporary trends with timeless elegance, aiming for interiors that stand the test of time rather than dating with a particular moment - a meaningful distinction in high-end residential work, where a full refit is disruptive and expensive to repeat.</p>
<h2>Luxury Living in Zurich</h2>
<p>Martinuzzi positions itself as redefining luxury living through its interior architecture expertise. Operating as a high-end interior design company in Zurich, in the heart of Switzerland, the studio designs spaces intended to transcend the ordinary and create narratives that speak to each client's individuality and aspirations.</p>
<p>Its focus on exceptional interiors has earned the practice a strong reputation among interior design companies in Switzerland, and it has been recognised in TOP 100 Best of the Best listings.</p>
<h2>Services</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Residential interior design</strong> - private homes, apartments and penthouses</li>
<li><strong>Alpine and chalet interiors</strong> - mountain properties</li>
<li><strong>Office and workplace interiors</strong></li>

<li>Projects in <strong>Feusisberg</strong> and across the Zurich region</li>
</ul>
<h2>Swiss Craftsmanship</h2>
<p>The studio's positioning leans heavily on Swiss craftsmanship, and the practical consequence is a supply chain of local joiners, stone specialists and metalworkers capable of executing bespoke detail. In high-end interiors the constraint is rarely the design idea - it is whether there is a workshop able to build it to the standard drawn.</p>
<h2>Team</h2>
<p>Martinuzzi Interiors is a dynamic team of interior architects and designers committed to achieving outstanding results for every client. Its passion for design is matched by a commitment to excellence and a pursuit of innovation.</p>

<h2>About Luminocity AG</h2>
<p>Luminocity AG is a Swiss software-development agency headquartered in Schaffhausen with deep specialty in real-time 3D, AR/VR/XR, AI integration in 3D pipelines, and AEC plugin engineering.</p>
<p>The agency operates as a hybrid services-plus-products company: alongside selective paid engagements with external customers, Luminocity ships several internal product lines that demonstrate the team's range across browser-native 3D, cloud BIM, and Gaussian-Splatting digital twins.</p>
<h2>Product Portfolio</h2>
<h3>GeoVision - Cloud BIM Visualisation</h3>
<p>GeoVision is a cloud BIM visualisation platform built on top of the Speckle data layer. Custom Revit and Archicad plugins (Rhino coming soon) move BIM models into a shareable web viewer where AEC teams collaborate, comment, and version on a single link - without anyone needing Revit or Archicad installed.</p>
<p>The plugin family captures PBR materials, lighting, and exposed metadata, notably above what stock Speckle connectors provide. That fidelity gap matters in practice: most web viewers strip material and lighting data, which makes them adequate for coordination but not for design review.</p>
<p>A companion Unity 6 HDRP desktop application extends the workflow with immersive walkthrough and AI photorealistic image generation via the Grok (xAI) API. Live at geovision.cloud and app.geovision.cloud.</p>
<h3>Lemonate - Browser-Native 3D Game Engine</h3>
<p>Lemonate is a complete open-source 3D game engine and editor that runs entirely in the browser, built ground-up by the Luminocity team. It features:</p>
<ul>
<li>A LUA scripting layer for game logic</li>
<li>A full engine API across rendering, physics (rigid bodies, vehicle, NavMesh), positional audio, particle systems, materials and shaders</li>
<li>A broad scene-object library including Gaussian Splats</li>
</ul>
<p>Source code is public on Codeberg. A public games gallery, community asset library, and beginner and advanced tutorial series support the developer community, and Lemonate has a public roadmap committed through 2027.</p>
<h3>3D Replicas - Gaussian-Splatting Digital Twins</h3>
<p>3D Replicas is a productised 3D Gaussian-Splatting digital-twin pipeline for cultural heritage, museums, and architectural sites. The three-stage workflow - on-site or studio capture, 3DGS reconstruction, and cloud-delivered web, VR or archive output - has produced active client work in 2026 across multiple Italian heritage sites and Swiss commercial and civic spaces.</p>
<p>Three productised offerings are available:</p>
<ul>
<li>Interactive Web Viewer</li>
<li>Virtual Museum Experience (VR/AR)</li>
<li>Digital Archive and Collection Management Platform</li>
</ul>
<h2>Unity 3D Consulting</h2>
<p>Unity 3D consulting is the agency's bench-rental side: bespoke Unity3D engagements covering 3D content design, immersive experiences, custom rendering pipelines, and cross-platform deployment - delivered by the same engineering bench that ships GeoVision's Unity 6 HDRP desktop application.</p>
<h2>Engineering Track Record</h2>
<p>The team's senior engineers carry more than 20 years of cumulative deep experience shipping advanced 3D systems with a cross-platform C++ core, integrated through Unity3D and browser-native runtimes. Past work includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Industry-standard media servers used in demanding multimedia setups since 2007, including Eurovision Song Contests, large-scale 3D projection mappings, and major touring productions</li>
<li>The MVX 2D / 3D / 4D file format and processing framework, presented at SIGGRAPH 2016</li>
<li>Hardware-emulation work for leading VR device manufacturers</li>
<li>A native Meta Quest VR application release</li>
</ul>
<h2>How Engagements Work</h2>
<p>Luminocity works with external customers through a delivery-pod model. The customer describes what they need built and to what quality bar; the team handles execution internally, with engineering, project management and QA all on the team's side; the customer receives working deliverables on an agreed cadence and integrates them into their core stack. Engagements can be project-based or month-based.</p>
<h2>Areas of Greatest Strength</h2>
<ul>
<li>Connector engineering for AEC plugins</li>
<li>Custom AEC pipeline work on top of Speckle</li>
<li>Front-end and viewer work in Three.js, WebGL and GLSL</li>
<li>AI integration in 3D pipelines</li>
<li>Unity, AR/VR and XR engineering</li>
</ul>
<h2>Location and Technology</h2>
<p>Headquartered in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, with an engineering team operating remotely across the EMEA region. The team is English- and German-speaking.</p>
<p>The tech stack includes C++, C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, Unity, Three.js, WebGL, OpenGL, OpenCV, AWS, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Vue.js, React, Quasar, Node.js, and .NET.</p>

<h2>About Lite Shelter Planning Studio</h2>
<p>Lite Shelter Planning Studio (LSPS) is a US-based creative design studio working across architecture, interiors and product design. The practice operates under the tagline "when buildings come to life", and also works under the Popular Architecture Studio (POP) name on a number of its projects.</p>
<p>The studio's portfolio is unusually broad for its size, spanning multi-storey buildings, one-off interior interventions, community pavilions, international competition entries and small manufactured objects.</p>
<h2>Building Typologies</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Multifamily residential</strong> - several multifamily schemes including Charlestown Multifamily</li>
<li><strong>Hospitality</strong> - hotel projects</li>
<li><strong>Office</strong> - workplace buildings</li>
<li><strong>Retail</strong> - shops and commercial units</li>
<li><strong>Mixed-use</strong> - including facade reworking</li>
<li><strong>Civic and cultural</strong> - library projects</li>
<li><strong>Single-family residential</strong> - including Four Homes and Gulf Stream</li>
</ul>
<h2>Notable Projects</h2>
<h3>Lets Build My School - Senegal (Around the Tree)</h3>
<p>A school proposal for the Marsassoum area of Senegal, designed so it can be built by unskilled labourers and serve as an example of future building techniques locally. The construction sequence uses flat concrete foundations with voids left for bamboo column footings, sheet metal butterfly roofs on bamboo rafters assembled at ground level and then lifted into place, rammed earth walls built by students and staff, clay brick walls with a laterite coating, and ferro-concrete tanks and sills cast using the same reusable timber.</p>
<p>The proposal uses only 60% of the available budget, leaving the remainder for furniture, staff and educational improvements. Rainwater collection via the butterfly roofs, separated buildings with large classroom openings for cross ventilation, and a grid of light wells put sustainability at the front of the design. The main building curves around an existing tree, preserving the children's landmark.</p>
<h3>Rebuilding Ukraine - School</h3>
<p>A school design contributing to Ukrainian reconstruction efforts.</p>
<h3>COVID-19 Temporary Over-Water Care Facility</h3>
<p>A proposal submitted to the Governor of New York and the Mayor of New York City in April 2020, at the start of the pandemic's hospital-capacity peak. Recognising the shortage of available land in Manhattan, the design proposed a rapidly built, removable facility constructed on pilings over the water - gaining an extra floor or two of height over tent structures without occupying city land, with a variant able to retrofit onto existing dock pilings.</p>
<h3>On Site and Only On Site</h3>
<p>A timber construction study in which glue-laminated beams are milled and assembled on site, using the building foundation itself as the factory floor - eliminating milling costs and outsourcing, with all members finished by the contracting team.</p>
<h3>Lobster Economy</h3>
<p>A master's thesis project examining the northward migration of lobster stocks as waters warm, and the urban and economic response required as American fisheries lose access and shift toward farming.</p>
<h2>Interiors and Bespoke Work</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Marble Slab Accent Wall, Positano Villas, Hollywood FL</strong> - slab selection, seaming and sizing coordination for a wrap-around fireplace</li>
<li><strong>Ivy Curtain, North Ocean Drive, Hollywood FL</strong> - a motion-sensor operated ivy curtain screening a condominium garage from the lobby, chosen over a built-in door because it preserves airflow and clearance for large items</li>
<li><strong>Ortega Bakery Display Case, Toms River NJ</strong> - a plywood display with criss-cross undulating shelves built with local craftsmen</li>
<li><strong>Hidden Rain Garden Operable Raincover, Fort Lauderdale</strong> - rain screens for an outdoor dining garden, supported entirely within the seating area so nothing attaches to buildings or interferes with existing trees</li>
<li><strong>Coal Silo Repurpose, Kenvil NJ</strong> - fitting a recording studio into an existing grain silo</li>
<li><strong>House Cream Dream, Jupiter FL</strong> - residential interior design</li>
</ul>
<h2>Pavilions and Competitions</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>World's Fair United States Pavilion</strong> - a conceptual entry exploring boundaries and belonging, using translucent pod structures and an inverted reconstruction of US national parks on the roof</li>
<li><strong>Open Mic Beach Pavilion</strong> - a travelling venue for the growing open mic and music culture around Brick, NJ</li>
<li><strong>Bayonne Pavilion</strong> - in progress</li>
<li><strong>Children's Playground</strong> - an international competition entry sinking an organic playground below grade so it would not compete visually with the town's Victorian architecture</li>
<li><strong>Architectural Record logo competition</strong></li>
</ul>
<h2>3D Printing and Products</h2>
<p>The studio offers a 3D printing service and designs manufactured objects, including a 3D printed tea light candle holder with contemporary geometry.</p>
<h2>Approach</h2>
<p>A consistent thread across the work is designing within real constraints - budget, unskilled labour, existing trees, awkward site conditions, or a client requirement that nothing be fixed to the building. Several projects resolve those constraints through construction method rather than form, which is a distinct way of working from studios that treat buildability as a downstream problem.</p>
<h2>Who LSPS Works With</h2>
<ul>
<li>Residential and multifamily developers</li>
<li>Restaurant, retail and hospitality operators</li>
<li>Condominium boards and property managers</li>
<li>Private residential clients</li>
<li>NGOs and competition organisers on humanitarian and civic projects</li>
</ul>

Lite Shelter Planning Studio (LSPS) designs multifamily, hotel, office, retail and mixed-use projects plus interiors, pavilions and 3D printed products.

<h2>About Leveret Systems</h2>
<p>Leveret Systems Ltd is a UK-based integration consultancy specialising in connecting BIM/CDE platforms with enterprise systems across the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. The company designs and builds the middleware layer that most digital engineering teams lack - custom API integrations, webhook-driven data flows, event-driven pipelines, and analytics dashboards that turn fragmented construction data into actionable intelligence.</p>
<p>Founded by Eben Joubert, a Systems Architect with dual Master's degrees in Artificial Intelligence (Distinction, Goldsmiths, University of London) and BIM &amp; Integrated Design (Merit, University of Salford), backed by a full-stack integration developer, Leveret Systems brings a rare combination of deep construction domain knowledge and production-grade software engineering. Its directors are members of the British Computer Society (MBCS) and the Chartered Institute of Building (MCIOB).</p>
<h2>CDE and BIM Platform Integration</h2>
<p>Leveret connects Common Data Environments and BIM platforms to the wider enterprise ecosystem. Its work spans Autodesk APS (Forge), BIM 360, Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), ProjectWise, Asite, Aconex, and Trimble Connect - integrated with ERP systems including COINS and SAP, SharePoint, Power BI, and bespoke analytics platforms.</p>
<p>Deliverables include:</p>
<ul>
<li>REST API development and webhook orchestration</li>
<li>ISO 19650-compliant information management workflows (WIP - Shared - Published - Archived)</li>
<li>Model translation pipelines from Revit (RVT) and IFC to SVF2 for web-based 3D viewing via Autodesk APS</li>
<li>Automated metadata enrichment, validation, and quality assurance across federated BIM models</li>
</ul>
<h2>Custom Middleware Development</h2>
<p>Leveret builds the integration backbone that sits between platforms - not configuration or rebranded SaaS, but actual production-grade middleware with proper error handling, retry logic, structured logging, and monitoring.</p>
<ul>
<li>Event-driven microservices on Google Cloud Pub/Sub, Azure Service Bus, and RabbitMQ</li>
<li>Webhook callback systems for real-time data synchronisation</li>
<li>Data transformation pipelines from CAD geometry to business data, and from IFC to analytics-ready formats</li>
<li>API gateway designs serving 78+ endpoints with sub-second response times</li>
</ul>
<p>The distinction the firm draws here is a real one. Most CDE platforms expose APIs, but connecting two of them reliably in production - handling failures, retries and ordering - is a software engineering problem rather than a configuration exercise.</p>
<h2>AI and Machine Learning for AEC</h2>
<p>The company applies machine learning and natural language processing to construction and engineering data - not generic AI, but domain-specific solutions built by engineers who understand both the algorithms and the industry.</p>
<ul>
<li>Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines for regulatory document analysis covering NRM2, building regulations, and standards</li>
<li>Computer vision applied to satellite imagery and point cloud analysis</li>
<li>Predictive analytics for construction performance across schedule, quality, and cost forecasting</li>
<li>LLM-assisted content generation with human-in-the-loop quality controls</li>
</ul>
<h2>Data Engineering and Dashboards</h2>
<p>Leveret builds end-to-end data pipelines from source systems to executive-ready reporting. When Power BI's native connectors create latency or data quality issues, the team builds dashboards from scratch.</p>
<ul>
<li>SharePoint and CDE data extraction pipelines</li>
<li>Power BI integration with custom embedded reporting</li>
<li>Real-time operational dashboards with WebSocket-driven updates</li>
<li>Multimodal dataset handling across BIM/CAD models, point cloud data, and time-series sensor feeds</li>
</ul>
<h2>Why Leveret Systems</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Construction plus software</strong> - the team holds degrees in Construction Management, BIM, and AI. They don't just write code, they understand what project teams actually need.</li>
<li><strong>Production-grade delivery</strong> - not prototypes or proof-of-concepts, but production systems with logging, monitoring, error handling, and documentation.</li>
<li><strong>Platform agnostic</strong> - across Autodesk APS, ProjectWise, Asite, Aconex, and Trimble Connect, integrating whatever CDE stack is in use.</li>
<li><strong>Standards built in</strong> - ISO 19650 and ISO 27001 are baked into the delivery approach, not bolted on after the fact.</li>
<li><strong>Sustained delivery</strong> - a two-person Architect plus Developer model that sustains delivery over months, rather than advising for a week and leaving.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Recent Delivery</h2>
<p>In a recent seven-week engagement, the team delivered:</p>
<ul>
<li>An enterprise quoting platform with 78+ API endpoints (Flask backend, React frontend, PostgreSQL on Cloud SQL)</li>
<li>Migration of 118,000+ rows across 23 tables from BigQuery to Cloud SQL Postgres with zero downtime</li>
<li>A WordPress website rebuilt as a custom React application with GA4 and GDPR Consent Mode v2</li>
<li>A manufacturing team planner with Harvest time-tracking and Google Drive integration</li>
<li>An AI-powered email classification agent integrated with the quoting system</li>
</ul>
<p>Deployed to GCP Cloud Run with Docker and GitHub Actions CI/CD. Two people, seven weeks.</p>

Leveret Systems builds middleware connecting BIM and CDE platforms to ERP, SharePoint and Power BI, with ISO 19650 workflows and AEC machine learning.

<h2>About INTON Business Strategy Consultant</h2>
<p>INTON Business Strategy Consultant is a Fort Washington, PA-based management and technology consultancy specialising in workplace strategy, design program management, and AI-powered tools for the architecture, engineering, and construction industry.</p>
<p>Founded to bridge the gap between design practice and business performance, INTON helps interior design firms and AEC organisations reduce operational overhead, protect project margins, and deliver better outcomes through smarter systems and purposeful technology integration.</p>
<p>At its core, INTON operates at the intersection of built environment expertise and applied artificial intelligence - a combination that remains rare in an industry still navigating the transition from traditional practice to AI-enabled operations.</p>
<h2>Consulting Services</h2>
<p>INTON's consulting work spans:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Organisational strategy</strong></li>
<li><strong>Workflow redesign</strong></li>
<li><strong>Technology adoption</strong></li>
<li><strong>AI implementation</strong></li>
<li><strong>Workplace strategy</strong></li>
<li><strong>Design program management</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>The firm serves organisations that recognise the need to evolve but require a practitioner-led partner to guide that evolution with credibility and domain depth. That distinction is the commercial point: generalist digital transformation consultancies can describe the destination but rarely understand how a design studio actually bills, scopes and delivers work.</p>
<h2>Leadership</h2>
<p>INTON was founded by Mourad Elshokiry, a design and construction professional with 15+ years of international experience. His credentials include:</p>
<ul>
<li>MBA from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign</li>
<li>BFA from the University of Alexandria</li>
<li>Certificate in Hotel Real Estate Development and Asset Management from Cornell University</li>
<li>CPMAI certification in enterprise AI management</li>
</ul>
<p>His cross-disciplinary background across business strategy, spatial design, real estate economics, and applied AI is the foundation on which every INTON product and engagement is built.</p>
<h2>AI Practice and Technical Depth</h2>
<p>INTON's AI practice draws on advanced training in Claude AI - Anthropic's large language model - covering prompt engineering, Claude API integration, and responsible AI deployment. This hands-on fluency in building with AI, combined with dedicated AI strategy training in use case identification, feeds directly into the firm's flagship product.</p>
<h2>AIDA - The AI Interior Design Assistant</h2>
<p>Built on Anthropic's Claude API and purpose-built for interior design firms across workplace, hospitality, residential, and mixed-use sectors, AIDA functions as a senior AI collaborator embedded directly in a firm's existing workflow.</p>
<p>It was not retrofitted from a generic AI tool - it was architected specifically for the vocabulary, deliverables, and operational realities of interior design practice, shaped by the same domain expertise that drives INTON's consulting work.</p>
<h3>Concept Ideation</h3>
<p>AIDA's concept ideation engine helps design teams explore creative directions, generate visual mood boards, and develop concept narratives in minutes rather than days, drawing on deep knowledge of materials, finishes, FF&amp;E, lighting strategies, and spatial typologies.</p>
<h3>AIDA Planner</h3>
<p>Assists with project programming, scope definition, milestone scheduling, and phase documentation - producing structured planning deliverables that teams can refine and present without starting from scratch.</p>
<h3>Sustainability Compliance</h3>
<p>AIDA brings working knowledge of WELL, LEED, and related frameworks directly into the design conversation, helping teams identify compliant materials, map credit pathways, and integrate environmental and wellness criteria from concept through specification.</p>
<h3>Administrative Automation</h3>
<p>AIDA drafts client correspondence, meeting summaries, status reports, and specification logs - converting hours of documentation work into a review-and-approve workflow.</p>
<h3>AIDA Project Brain</h3>
<p>At the centre of everything is a centralised, searchable knowledge layer that captures every brief, decision, material selection, client conversation, and meeting record in one accessible place. Designers can query any project in plain language and retrieve accurate, context-rich answers instantly - ensuring institutional knowledge stays with the firm, not scattered across inboxes, shared drives, and personal notebooks.</p>
<h2>Sectors Served</h2>
<ul>
<li>Workplace and corporate interiors</li>
<li>Hospitality</li>
<li>Residential</li>
<li>Mixed-use developments</li>
<li>Installation and furniture</li>
</ul>
<h2>Who INTON Works With</h2>
<p>For firm principals and studio directors evaluating AI tools for interior design, design project management software, or AEC productivity platforms, INTON and AIDA represent a solution built from the inside out - by a firm that understands the business of design as deeply as the technology powering it.</p>

INTON delivers workplace strategy, design program management and AI implementation for interior design and AEC firms, and builds AIDA, its AI design assistant.

<h2>About DIRT</h2>
<p>Fresh messaging, branding, and positioning for AEC tech. DIRT is a team of expert brand strategists, copywriters, and website designers who specialise exclusively in AEC tech. Unlike a generic agency, we know the industry inside out.</p>
<p>At DIRT, we work with AEC software tools who want to grow their business and market share. In AEC software, the product is rarely the problem. The positioning is. When it's clear what your platform does and why it matters, trust builds faster - and the right customers find you.</p>
<h2>Signs You Need DIRT</h2>
<ul>
<li>People visit your website and still ask, "so what does this do?"</li>
<li>Your team relies on the demo to explain basic value</li>
<li>You know you have a different product, but can't articulate why</li>
</ul>
<p>Each of these is a positioning failure rather than a product failure, which is why adding features rarely fixes them.</p>
<h2>Services</h2>
<p>DIRT is a strategy-led agency offering:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Positioning</strong> - defining where the product sits and who it is for</li>
<li><strong>Brand messaging strategy</strong> - the core narrative and value articulation</li>
<li><strong>Copywriting</strong> - website, pitch decks, social media and more</li>
<li><strong>Visual identity</strong> - logo, brand colours and design system</li>
<li><strong>Website design and development</strong></li>
</ul>
<h2>What to Expect Working With DIRT</h2>
<h3>01 Competitive Edge</h3>
<p>You stop sounding like everyone else. Your value is clear, your positioning is sharp, and buyers decide faster, without pulling you into price comparisons.</p>
<h3>02 Alignment</h3>
<p>Marketing, sales, and product finally tell the same story. Buyers hear the same thing at every touchpoint, and when every demo, deck and homepage tell the same story, you stop losing deals to confusion.</p>
<h3>03 Momentum</h3>
<p>Sales conversations move faster. The sales team stops relying on demos to explain basic value. Marketing starts working.</p>
<h2>Founder</h2>
<p>Nikita Morell has spent over a decade inside the AEC industry running Nikita Morell, a brand messaging agency exclusively for architects. Now she is bringing that same expert positioning lens to AEC software. She knows this industry, how buyers think, and why most platforms struggle to communicate their value.</p>
<p>That background is the differentiator: a generalist SaaS agency has to learn what a BIM coordinator does before it can write for one.</p>
<h2>Who DIRT Works With</h2>
<p>DIRT works with construction, contech, property and building material teams who suspect their brand is holding them back - from pre-seed companies building their first narrative, through Series A, to post-MVP businesses with a product that works and messaging that doesn't.</p>
<h2>Client Results</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Techne</strong> - "We were in the process of merging two firms. DIRT helped us identify our positioning and communicate our value in a clear, simple and relatable way. DIRT created a website we're proud of - one that not only reflects who we are now, but protects the reputation we've built over years." - Sameer</li>
<li><strong>CORE</strong> - "Nikita and her team helped us go from 'coming soon' to a website we can be proud of. Their structured process helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel and the confidence to embrace a distinct brand voice." - Mark</li>
<li><strong>DeSimone</strong> - "We struggled to tell our story in a way that felt true to who we are. Now, our website copy is clear, energised, and genuinely reflects our firm." - David</li>
</ul>
<h2>DIRT Dispatch</h2>
<p>DIRT publishes a newsletter for construction, contech, property and building material teams covering brand, positioning and messaging in the built environment.</p>
<h2>Working With DIRT</h2>
<p>Whether you are pre-seed and building your narrative, Series A, or post-MVP with a product that works and messaging that doesn't, DIRT works across the full brand and positioning stack for AEC technology businesses.</p>

<h2>About Cordax</h2>
<p>Cordax is an emerging construction technology company focused on transforming how mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems are designed and coordinated in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. Positioned at the intersection of artificial intelligence and building design, Cordax addresses one of the most persistent inefficiencies in construction workflows: the manual, time-consuming, and error-prone process of MEP coordination.</p>
<h2>The Problem</h2>
<p>Traditionally, MEP design requires engineers and contractors to spend days or even weeks manually routing ducts, pipes, and conduits on top of architectural drawings. This process is not only labor-intensive but also highly susceptible to errors, often resulting in clashes, rework, and costly delays during construction.</p>
<p>Cordax aims to eliminate these inefficiencies by automating the entire process. Its platform converts 2D architectural plans into coordinated, build-ready MEP layouts in minutes, significantly reducing the need for manual drafting and iteration.</p>
<h2>How the Platform Works</h2>
<p>At the core of Cordax's technology is an AI-powered design engine that interprets architectural intent and generates optimised system layouts. Users upload floor plans in formats such as PDFs or images, after which the platform automatically routes HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems while avoiding conflicts.</p>
<p>The system also produces:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Material takeoffs</strong> - quantified from the generated layouts</li>
<li><strong>Cost estimates</strong> - derived directly from routed systems</li>
<li><strong>BIM-ready 3D models</strong> - enabling teams to visualise and validate designs before construction begins</li>
</ul>
<p>This capability helps teams identify potential issues early, reducing the likelihood of costly on-site corrections.</p>
<h2>Who Cordax Serves</h2>
<p>Cordax is particularly focused on serving small to mid-sized contractors and engineering firms, a segment of the industry that has historically been underserved by advanced design technologies. Many of these firms still rely heavily on manual processes or simplified tools, leading to inefficiencies and lost margins.</p>
<p>By offering an intuitive and accessible platform, Cordax lowers the barrier to entry for advanced digital workflows, enabling these teams to compete more effectively and scale their operations. That focus is a deliberate market choice: enterprise-grade coordination tools have long assumed a dedicated VDC department, which most mid-sized subcontractors do not have.</p>
<h2>Value Beyond Speed</h2>
<p>The company's value proposition extends beyond speed. By automating MEP coordination, Cordax helps reduce material waste, improve design accuracy, and enhance overall project outcomes. Its system optimises routing for constructability and efficiency, ensuring that generated designs are not only technically sound but also practical for real-world installation.</p>
<p>This can lead to significant cost savings, as rework and design errors can account for a meaningful percentage of total project value in construction projects.</p>
<h2>Origins and Ecosystem</h2>
<p>Founded in Canada and associated with innovation ecosystems such as Queen's University and NEXT Canada, Cordax represents a new generation of AEC startups leveraging AI to modernise legacy workflows. Its mission is to empower engineers, consultants, and subcontractors to design faster and with greater confidence, ultimately improving productivity across the construction lifecycle.</p>
<h2>Industry Context</h2>
<p>In a broader industry context, Cordax reflects a growing shift toward automation and intelligence in design and preconstruction. As AEC firms increasingly seek ways to improve efficiency, reduce risk, and adopt digital tools, platforms like Cordax are poised to play a key role. By bridging the gap between architectural intent and build-ready systems, the company is helping move the industry toward a more integrated, data-driven future.</p>
<h2>Looking Ahead</h2>
<p>Cordax has the potential to expand its impact by integrating more deeply with existing BIM ecosystems and construction workflows, including platforms like Revit and cloud-based collaboration tools. As interoperability becomes increasingly important in the AEC industry, the ability to seamlessly connect design, coordination, and construction data will be critical. If successfully executed, this could position Cordax not just as a design automation tool, but as a foundational layer in the future digital infrastructure of building delivery.</p>

Cordax converts 2D architectural plans into coordinated HVAC, plumbing and electrical layouts with material takeoffs, cost estimates and BIM-ready 3D models.

<h2>Company Overview</h2>
<p>ConstructAI is an Austin, Texas-based construction technology startup transforming how enterprise general contractors and construction firms manage Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows. We automate BIM modeling with agentic AI, converting 2D PDF structural drawings into LOD 350 native Revit models with complete rebar detailing - eliminating the manual work that consumes days of preconstruction and VDC team bandwidth.</p>
<p>Founded by a 4x entrepreneur CEO and an architect with Applied AI expertise, ConstructAI addresses a $5-7B market pain point: the labor-intensive conversion of architectural and structural documents into construction-ready BIM models. Our platform uses advanced machine learning and agentic AI workflows to process structural PDFs end-to-end, outputting native Revit files that are immediately usable by design coordination, fabrication, and construction teams.</p>
<h2>The Problem We Solve</h2>
<p>Enterprise general contractors and construction firms face a critical bottleneck in their preconstruction workflow. When a project begins, structural and architectural drawings arrive as 2D PDFs - the same format they've been delivered in for decades. Converting these PDFs into actionable 3D BIM models remains a largely manual process, requiring skilled BIM modelers to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Manually trace or interpret 2D drawings in Revit</li>
<li>Input structural specifications, rebar detailing, and material properties</li>
<li>Validate model accuracy against source documents</li>
<li>Iterate through revisions as drawings change</li>
</ul>
<p>For large contractors managing hundreds of projects annually, this process consumes thousands of hours and delays the start of critical path activities like fabrication planning, cost estimation, and logistics coordination. A typical structural drawing package can require 40-80+ hours of manual BIM modeling labor - a cost that compounds across a contractor's portfolio.</p>
<p>ConstructAI eliminates this bottleneck. Our agentic AI system ingests structural PDFs and outputs LOD 350 Revit models with full rebar detailing in hours instead of days, reducing modeling labor by 50-70% while maintaining the precision required for fabrication and construction.</p>
<h2>Our Solution: LOD 350 Revit Automation</h2>
<p>ConstructAI's core product converts 2D structural drawings into native Revit models at LOD 350 - the industry standard for fabrication-ready models. Our output includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Complete structural geometry captured from 2D PDFs with high fidelity</li>
<li>Full rebar detailing including bar schedules, reinforcement patterns, and specifications</li>
<li>Material properties and structural parameters embedded in the model</li>
<li>Native Revit format (2025/2026 compatibility) enabling immediate integration into VDC workflows</li>
<li>Construction-ready output reducing time to fabrication planning and shop drawings</li>
</ul>
<h2>Quantifiable Benefits by Use Case</h2>
<h3>For Preconstruction and VDC Teams</h3>
<p><strong>Time recapture at scale.</strong> A 200-sheet structural drawing package traditionally requires 80+ hours of manual BIM modeling. ConstructAI processes the same package in a few hours, with full LOD 350 fidelity and rebar detailing. For a contractor managing 100+ projects annually, this translates to 4,000-8,000 hours recovered - the equivalent of 2-4 dedicated full-time BIM modelers.</p>
<p><strong>Direct cost reduction.</strong> At fully-loaded BIM modeler rates ($65-85/hour), labor savings range from $2,600-$6,800 per project. A contractor with 200 annual projects recovers $520K-$1.36M in direct labor costs annually.</p>
<p><strong>Downstream schedule impact.</strong> Construction planning begins 2-3 weeks sooner, cost estimates are finalised faster, long-lead procurement windows open earlier, and field crews receive logistics plans and staging schedules weeks in advance. For time-sensitive projects such as retail openings and facility expansions with hard deadlines, this acceleration can mean the difference between schedule compliance and costly delays.</p>
<h3>For Fabricators and Shop Crews</h3>
<p>LOD 350 output includes complete rebar schedules, bar bending diagrams, and material specifications - eliminating the need for fabricators to re-interpret structural drawings or request clarification from the design team. Fabricators receive machine-readable Revit models that integrate directly into fabrication management systems (FMS), reducing lead times by 5-10% and cutting manual data entry errors by 60%.</p>
<h3>For Cost Estimators and Bid Teams</h3>
<p>Faster, more accurate structural models enable cost estimators to build comprehensive, detailed estimates 20-30% faster. Rather than waiting for manual BIM models or relying on incomplete drawings, estimators work from LOD 350 models with embedded material properties, enabling material quantity take-offs (QTO) to be automated and precise. This reduces bid cycle time and improves estimate accuracy, leading to tighter bid windows and fewer bid disputes post-award.</p>
<h3>For Enterprise Portfolio Management</h3>
<p>Large GCs managing 500+ projects annually face a portfolio-wide problem: inconsistent BIM quality, delayed preconstruction workflows, and variable project-start timelines. ConstructAI standardises the preconstruction process across the portfolio, with all projects receiving consistent-quality LOD 350 models within 24-48 hours of drawing receipt. This standardisation also enables portfolio-level data analytics: modeling time per sheet type, cost per project, and resource allocation patterns become visible and optimisable.</p>
<h2>Technology: Agentic AI for Construction</h2>
<p>ConstructAI's proprietary agentic AI system combines:</p>
<ul>

<h2>About Conjoin</h2>
<p>Conjoin is a ConTech bureau that connects the construction industry with emerging technologies, and vice versa, to drive digital transformation in the industry towards 4.0. The company describes itself as a ConTech solution implementation bureau that joins the construction industry with emerging tech.</p>
<p>Conjoin assists construction businesses and software products in achieving innovative leadership and market fit - working in both directions, helping contractors adopt technology and helping technology vendors understand the industry they are selling into.</p>
<h2>AR as Part of Business Development</h2>
<p>Conjoin helps general contractors make augmented reality part of business development by constructing a successful use case. The engagement runs in three stages.</p>
<h3>1. Choose</h3>
<ul>
<li>Joint overview of the AR for Construction big picture</li>
<li>Identifying the best hardware and software AR solution</li>
</ul>
<h3>2. Adapt</h3>
<ul>
<li>Development of custom-tailored workflows and processes</li>
<li>Measuring and demonstrating KPIs</li>
</ul>
<h3>3. Scale</h3>
<ul>
<li>Development of technical documents on utilising AR</li>
<li>Training sessions for office and field teams</li>
</ul>
<p>The sequencing matters: most failed technology pilots in construction stall between step one and step two, because a tool is selected before anyone has redesigned the workflow it is supposed to sit inside.</p>
<h2>Developing AR Solutions for the Industry</h2>
<p>For software vendors building products aimed at construction, Conjoin works from the other side.</p>
<h3>4. Get Insights</h3>
<p>Construction industry insights to understand market needs and plan a product to fit best.</p>

<h2>Approach</h2>
<p>The team describes itself as T-shaped experts, combining engineering expertise, an entrepreneurial mindset and product development capability. The stated aim is a tailored approach for each customer that makes digital innovations work to achieve real results, improving efficiency and the soonest return on investment.</p>
<h3>Manifesto</h3>
<ul>
<li>Not selling products - providing an expert overview of innovation for construction</li>
<li>Not a remote VDC department - developing custom-tailored workflows and processes</li>
<li>Not innovation for a small fraction of a group - implementing solutions into daily routines</li>
</ul>
<p>That third point identifies the common failure mode directly: technology that lives with a small innovation team and never reaches the people doing the work produces no measurable return.</p>
<h2>Partners</h2>
<p>Conjoin collaborates with technology providers across the AR and BIM space, including GAMMA AR, BIM HV, Concept 1 and Griffel Studio.</p>
<h2>Team</h2>
<p>The company was founded by Anton Kaplun, Co-Founder and CTO covering marketing and communications, and Viktoria Blokhina, Co-Founder and COO responsible for business growth and operations.</p>
<h2>Who Conjoin Works With</h2>
<ul>
<li>General contractors evaluating or scaling AR and emerging technology</li>
<li>Construction software vendors seeking product-market fit</li>
<li>VDC and innovation teams needing workflow design rather than tool supply</li>
<li>Field and office teams requiring training and adoption support</li>
</ul>
<h2>Market Position</h2>
<p>Conjoin occupies a narrow but useful niche: independent of any single vendor, but deep enough in both construction operations and product development to translate between them. For firms that have bought technology and failed to embed it, that translation layer is often the missing piece.</p>

Conjoin is a ConTech bureau helping contractors adopt augmented reality and helping construction software vendors achieve product-market fit.

<h2>About Bimrock AI</h2>
<p>Bimrock AI is a construction technology company building automation tools for MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) designers and engineers working in Autodesk Revit. Our mission is to eliminate repetitive manual workflows that consume engineering hours - replacing them with intelligent, profile-based automation that lets MEP professionals focus on design, not documentation busywork.</p>
<h2>The Problem We're Solving</h2>
<p>MEP engineering teams spend a disproportionate amount of their project time on repetitive, low-value tasks. Annotation alone - placing tags on ductwork, piping, electrical panels, fixtures, and equipment across dozens of floor plan views - can consume entire workdays on a single building. Multiply that across disciplines, floors, and projects, and firms lose thousands of billable hours annually to work that follows predictable, repeatable patterns.</p>
<p>These are exactly the kinds of workflows that should be automated, but until now, haven't been - at least not without Dynamo scripts, manual workarounds, or expensive enterprise platforms that require months of implementation. Bimrock AI exists to close that gap. We build tools that are powerful enough for complex MEP workflows but accessible enough that any Revit user can adopt them immediately - no scripting, no code, no lengthy onboarding process.</p>
<h2>Our Flagship Product: Autotag by Bimrock AI</h2>
<p>Autotag by Bimrock AI is our first product, focused on automating MEP annotation in Autodesk Revit. It replaces manual tag placement with a profile-based system: users define tagging rules once - selecting MEP categories, tag families, filters, and placement preferences - then apply those rules to any number of views. The tool handles intelligent tag positioning, automatic overlap avoidance, and batch processing across entire building documentation sets.</p>
<h3>Key Capabilities</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Profile-Based Automation</strong> - Create reusable annotation profiles that work like View Templates but for tags. Define standards once, enforce them consistently across every project and every team member.</li>
<li><strong>Automatic Overlap Avoidance</strong> - Intelligent algorithms analyze element positions and adjust tag placement to eliminate overlapping labels. No manual cleanup required after placement.</li>
<li><strong>Batch View Processing</strong> - Queue 40 or more views and process them in a single operation. Tag an entire building's documentation set across all MEP disciplines and floor levels.</li>
<li><strong>Full MEP Discipline Coverage</strong> - Supports Mechanical (ducts, air terminals, equipment), Electrical (panels, fixtures, devices, cable trays), and Plumbing (pipes, fixtures, equipment), plus general architectural elements.</li>
<li><strong>Linked Model and Workshared Support</strong> - Designed for real-world BIM coordination workflows, Autotag works seamlessly with Revit linked models and workshared projects.</li>
<li><strong>Custom Family Support</strong> - Tag any parameter on any element, including custom Revit families. Not limited to out-of-the-box content.</li>
<li><strong>Post-Placement Editing Tools</strong> - Bulk-edit tags, align leader line elbows, and reorganize annotations after placement for precise control over final output.</li>
<li><strong>Team Profile Sharing</strong> - Share and distribute annotation profiles across team members to maintain consistent documentation standards firm-wide.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Measured Time Savings</h3>
<p>Autotag saves MEP teams 30-60 minutes per floor plan on annotation tasks. When batch-processing full documentation sets, teams report saving 2-4 hours per building. For firms producing dozens of projects annually, the compounding time savings translate to hundreds of recovered billable hours.</p>
<h3>System Requirements</h3>
<p>Autotag supports Revit 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027, runs on Windows 10 and later, and includes a free trial with no credit card required.</p>
<h2>Platform Vision: Automated MEP Design</h2>
<p>Autotag by Bimrock AI is the starting point - not the destination. We are building toward a comprehensive Automated MEP Design platform that covers the full spectrum of MEP engineering workflows within Autodesk Revit:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Documentation Automation:</strong> Autotag by Bimrock AI (live in Revit today). Automates annotation, tagging, and documentation workflows that consume hours of manual effort on every project.</li>
<li><strong>Sketch-to-BIM:</strong> Converting early-stage design sketches and schematics into fully modeled BIM elements, accelerating the transition from conceptual design to detailed engineering.</li>
<li><strong>Rapid Design:</strong> Computational and generative design tools for MEP system layout, including HVAC network analysis, pressure drop calculations, and system optimization. These tools bring building performance intelligence directly into the design workflow - enabling engineers to evaluate and iterate on MEP systems faster than traditional manual methods allow.</li>
<li><strong>Coordination:</strong> Automated clash detection analysis, spatial coordination, and cross-discipline alignment tools that reduce RFIs and rework during construction.</li>
</ol>
<p>Each product in the platform shares the same core philosophy: profile-based automation. Define your rules, standards, and preferences once, then let the tools apply them consistently and intelligently across your entire project. This approach scales from solo consultants managing their own workflows to enterprise firms standardizing processes across hundreds of team members and multiple offices.</p>
<h2>Who We Serve</h2>
<p>Bimrock AI serves the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry - specifically MEP engineering professionals across all project types: commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, healthcare, and data center projects.</p>

<h2>About BIMWERX</h2>
<p>BIMWERX is a BIM consulting and coordination firm that helps construction teams coordinate trades, detect clashes, review constructability, and solve project issues in the digital space before they become expensive field problems.</p>
<p>BIMWERX is not your average consultant. The firm was built from the ground up with experience across design, construction, coordination, and field realities. Because the team has lived and worked on multiple sides of the AEC industry, it understands the needs, pressures, and expectations of the different project stakeholders involved - and knows where communication breaks down, where coordination gets missed, and where projects lose time and money.</p>
<h2>BIM Services</h2>
<p>BIMWERX supports construction teams with digital coordination, modeling, reviews, and documentation that help uncover problems before they turn into field delays, rework, and costly surprises.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>BIM Project Coordination</strong> - multi-trade coordination managed through the model rather than in the field</li>
<li><strong>Clash Detection</strong> - identifying and resolving interdisciplinary conflicts before installation</li>
<li><strong>Constructability Reviews</strong> - assessing whether what has been designed can actually be built as drawn</li>
<li><strong>MEPFP BIM Coordination &amp; Shop Drawings</strong> - mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection coordination and fabrication-level drawings</li>
<li><strong>2D to 3D Conversions</strong> - turning legacy drawings into coordinated three-dimensional models</li>
<li><strong>Architectural Modeling and Documentation</strong> - model production and drawing sets</li>
<li><strong>Construction Modeling</strong> - models built for builders rather than for design intent alone</li>
</ul>
<h2>Why Coordination Before Construction Matters</h2>
<p>The economics here are straightforward. A clash resolved in a model costs an hour of coordination time; the same clash discovered after ductwork is hung costs demolition, rework, schedule delay and often a change order. BIMWERX positions its entire service around moving that discovery point earlier - which is why constructability review sits alongside clash detection rather than being treated as a separate design-stage exercise.</p>
<h2>Project Experience</h2>
<p>BIMWERX has supported a range of project types across the southeastern United States:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Kernan Medical Office Building, Jacksonville, FL</strong> - a 54,000 square foot, three-storey facility, currently the largest multispecialty freestanding ambulatory surgery center in Jacksonville.</li>
<li><strong>Federal Reserve Adaptive Reuse, Jacksonville, FL</strong> - an 18,500 square foot building constructed in 1923 and designated a National Historic Landmark.</li>
<li><strong>Ludlam Trail, Miami, FL</strong> - Altis Ludlam Trail, a mixed-use development in the Bird Road area comprising 312 apartments averaging 820 square feet.</li>
</ul>
<p>The mix is instructive: new-build healthcare, historic adaptive reuse, and large residential. Each places very different demands on a coordination model, and adaptive reuse in particular depends on accurate capture of existing conditions rather than idealised design geometry.</p>
<h2>Who BIMWERX Works With</h2>
<p>BIMWERX brings practical BIM support to architects, contractors, consultants, and project teams that need quality work, clear communication, and a trusted partner in the digital coordination process. Clients have included design practices, specialist BIM consultancies, and major general contractors.</p>
<p>The firm reports 78% repeat client business - a figure that in a services business of this kind tends to say more about delivery reliability than any capability claim.</p>
<h2>Leadership</h2>
<p>The BIMWERX leadership team stays closely involved with clients and projects. Their work ethic, industry knowledge, and direct communication help shape the way BIMWERX supports every project team.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Jason Matthews</strong> - President</li>
<li><strong>Ramon Morales</strong> - VDC Plumbing Manager</li>
<li><strong>James Stephens</strong> - VDC Mechanical Manager</li>
</ul>
<h2>Working With BIMWERX</h2>
<p>The firm's stated goal is to help clients improve information exchange, strengthen collaboration, and solve problems before they become costly field issues - doing more than providing BIM services, and instead becoming a trusted project partner who helps make the client's job easier.</p>
<p>BIMWERX encourages teams to engage early, giving projects a clearer path from coordination through to construction.</p>

<h2>About AIDA</h2>
<p>AIDA (AI Interior Design Assistant) is an AI-powered design partner purpose-built for interior design firms. Developed under INTON Business Strategy Consultant, AIDA is the AI layer that helps design studios move faster from idea to execution, reduce administrative overhead, refocus designers on creative work, and protect profit margins on every project.</p>
<p>Rather than replacing designers, AIDA amplifies them - taking on the repetitive, time-consuming, and information-heavy work that pulls talented teams away from what they were trained to do: design.</p>
<h2>What AIDA Does</h2>
<p>AIDA supports interior designers across the full project lifecycle through a single conversational interface. Designers interact with AIDA the same way they would with a senior consultant on the team - by asking questions, sharing context, and requesting deliverables in plain language.</p>
<h3>Concept Ideation</h3>
<p>AIDA helps designers explore creative directions, generate visual mood boards, and develop concept narratives in minutes rather than days. It draws on deep domain knowledge across materials, finishes, FF&amp;E, lighting, spatial planning, and design history to support exploration without limiting creative authorship.</p>
<h3>Project Planning</h3>
<p>AIDA assists with programming, scope definition, milestone planning, and resource allocation. Designers can describe a new project and receive structured planning documents, phase breakdowns, and timeline frameworks ready for refinement.</p>
<h3>Meeting Minutes</h3>
<p>AIDA captures, structures, and summarizes meetings - client reviews, internal design crits, consultant coordination calls - turning hours of notes into clean, searchable records linked directly to the project file.</p>
<h3>Administrative Work</h3>
<p>AIDA handles the documentation, correspondence, and reporting work that consumes a significant share of every billable hour. From client emails to status reports to specification logs, AIDA drafts the first version so designers only need to review and approve.</p>
<h3>Sustainability Compliance</h3>
<p>AIDA brings working knowledge of WELL, LEED, and other sustainability frameworks directly into the design conversation. It helps teams identify compliant materials, document credit pathways, and integrate wellness and environmental criteria from concept through specification.</p>
<h2>The Project Brain</h2>
<p>What sets AIDA apart is its role as a centralized project brain. Every brief, decision, drawing reference, material selection, client conversation, and meeting note is captured and structured in one accessible place.</p>
<p>Designers can ask AIDA any question about a project - "what finish was approved for the lobby," "summarize the last three client meetings," "what was our reasoning for the partition wall change" - and AIDA retrieves the answer with full project context in minutes. Institutional knowledge stays with the firm, not scattered across inboxes, drives, and personal notebooks.</p>
<h2>Built for Interior Design Firms</h2>
<p>AIDA is built specifically for the workflows, vocabulary, and deliverables of interior design practice - workplace, hospitality, residential, and mixed-use. It is not a generic AI chatbot retrofitted for design; it is a domain-trained design partner shaped by 15+ years of practitioner experience in international design and construction.</p>
<h2>Business Impact</h2>
<p>For firm leaders, AIDA addresses the structural economics of modern design practice: rising overhead, compressed fees, and the growing share of unbillable administrative work. By automating documentation, accelerating early-phase work, and preserving project knowledge, AIDA helps firms deliver more projects with the same team, sharpen creative output, and meaningfully improve profit margins on every engagement.</p>

AIDA is an AI design partner for interior design firms, supporting concept ideation, planning, meeting minutes, admin work and WELL and LEED compliance.

<h2>About Agile Networks</h2>
<p>Founded in New York City in 2001, Agile Networks has spent over two decades working with exactly one type of client: architecture firms. That exclusivity is our operating model.</p>
<p>Most IT providers treat architecture as one vertical among many, handling hardware, software, and consultants as separate, disconnected line items. Agile Networks treats them as one interconnected system, because architecture is the only system it works inside.</p>
<h2>Why Architecture-Only Matters</h2>
<p>A generalist IT firm might service law offices, medical practices, and architecture firms in the same week, applying the same playbook to all three. Agile Networks doesn't have that option, by design:</p>
<ul>
<li>Every client is an architecture firm, so every engagement builds on the same base of institutional knowledge instead of starting over.</li>
<li>Hardware, software, services, and outside consultants are understood as one connected chain, not four separate vendor relationships.</li>
<li>Decisions get made with full context on how design teams actually work, not a generic IT framework retrofitted onto the profession.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Services and Capabilities</h2>
<p>Agile Networks pairs day-to-day infrastructure management with higher-level guidance that most firms can't get from a standard IT vendor:</p>
<ul>
<li>Managed IT infrastructure and network support</li>
<li>Cybersecurity strategy and risk reduction</li>
<li>Executive-level technology strategy and advisory</li>
<li>Software and tool evaluation, selection, and adoption guidance</li>
<li>Workflow-aligned technology planning across hardware, software, and outside consultants</li>
</ul>
<h2>Coverage</h2>
<p>The firm's footprint runs the Northeast corridor, from New York down through the Atlantic states, with additional clients outside that geography.</p>
<h2>A Reciprocal Loop, Not a One-Way Service</h2>
<p>What separates Agile Networks from a standard MSP is how its advice gets formed. Instead of recommending tools based on vendor relationships or industry buzz, the firm treats its client base as a live feedback loop:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lessons from one firm's rollout, both what worked well and the speed bumps along the way, get turned into an accelerant for the next: proven approaches move faster, and known friction points get solved before they repeat.</li>
<li>That loop runs in real time, not on an annual review cycle, so recommendations reflect what's currently working in practice, not what worked two years ago.</li>
<li>Because every client is an architecture firm, the patterns Agile Networks sees are directly transferable, rather than diluted by unrelated industries.</li>
</ul>
<p>This is the mechanism behind the "informed by real-time patterns across real firms" line: it's not a slogan, it's a description of how the guidance actually gets built.</p>
<h2>Forecasting Most Generalists Can't Do</h2>
<p>Because Agile Networks is embedded exclusively in architecture practices, it sees adoption patterns, pain points, and emerging tool categories before they hit the broader market conversation. A generalist IT firm serving a handful of architecture clients alongside other industries doesn't have the density of exposure to spot these shifts early. Agile Networks does, and uses that position to help firm leadership make forward-looking decisions rather than reactive ones.</p>
<h2>How Agile Networks Positions Itself</h2>
<ul>
<li>Not a generalist MSP that happens to have architecture clients.</li>
<li>Not a software vendor pushing a single product.</li>
<li>A technology partner whose only frame of reference is architecture, working at the intersection of infrastructure, security, and executive strategy.</li>
</ul>
<p>This is the kind of firm that gets engaged when leadership wants a technology decision made with real depth, not another vendor pitch.</p>

Agile Networks provides managed IT, cybersecurity and technology strategy exclusively to architecture firms, serving the Northeast corridor since 2001.

<h2>About AEC Hub</h2>
<p>AEC Hub helps architecture, engineering, and construction firms adopt AI. There are nearly 500 AI tools built for this industry now, and more arrive every month. The hard part is not finding them. It is knowing which ones fit the work your firm actually does, what it takes to put them into practice, and how they connect to the software your team already uses every day. We help firms work through that.</p>
<h2>Free AI Assessment Tools</h2>
<p>We start with free tools that answer the questions firms bring us.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI Workflow Audit</strong> - takes one workflow (construction document production, proposals, submittal review, field reports) and maps its steps and hours. It returns what that workflow costs your firm annually and shows where AI, automation, or a straightforward process change would help. It separates those three deliberately, because plenty of workflow problems turn out not to be AI problems at all, and knowing the difference saves a firm both money and disappointment.</li>
<li><strong>AI Readiness Score</strong> - assesses where a firm stands across data, process, people, and technology, then points to tools matched to the specific pain points that come up.</li>
<li><strong>Proposal Generator</strong> - turns an RFP into a structured outline with a compliance checklist built from the solicitation's own stated requirements.</li>
<li><strong>RFI Cost Calculator</strong> - quantifies what unresolved RFIs cost on a project, which is often the number that makes the case for change internally.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Research and Buyer Resources</h2>
<p>Alongside the tools, we publish resources to help teams learn.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI tool catalogue</strong> - covers nearly 500 AI tools for architecture, engineering, and construction, organized by category, project phase, project scale, and use case. Each entry describes what a tool does well and where it stops, so teams can evaluate fit rather than read marketing copy.</li>
<li><strong>Buyer's guides</strong> - compare options within a category for a specific job.</li>
<li><strong>Curated stacks</strong> - show what a coherent toolset looks like for a particular kind of practice.</li>
<li><strong>Benchmark tracker</strong> - follows independent evaluations of AI performance on AEC tasks and labels every result by status.</li>
<li><strong>Glossary</strong> - gives teams shared vocabulary for terminology that is still settling.</li>
<li><strong>AEC Intelligence Briefing</strong> - covers funding, acquisitions, and product releases each month, so technology leads can keep up without watching the whole market themselves.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Advisory and Implementation</h2>
<p>When firms want help doing the work rather than researching it, we partner with them directly. A free AI strategy workshop establishes where to start, based on the firm's own situation rather than a generic maturity model. Implementation sprints follow, putting specific capabilities into specific workflows with the team that will use them. The goal is a firm working differently at the end, not a report recommending that it should.</p>
<h2>AEC Hub Platform</h2>
<p>We also build our own product. AEC Hub Platform connects a firm's Microsoft 365 and Autodesk Construction Cloud and reads across both. It finds what clients asked for in project email and checks it against what is actually in the model, so a commitment about door clearances arrives alongside the doors that fail the clearance check. Every finding cites the messages and model data behind it. The platform is in private pilot, configured per firm.</p>
<h2>Who We Work With</h2>
<p>AEC Hub is based in Atlanta and works with architecture, engineering, and construction firms.</p>

<h2>About SoomeenHahm Design</h2>
<p>SoomeenHahm Design Ltd is a London-based design studio working at the intersection of computational design research and built practice. Founded by Soomeen Hahm and registered in England and Wales, the studio investigates what it calls the computational paradigm in architecture - examining how computing power, emerging technology and human intuition interact, and how that relationship reshapes both the design industry and the physical environment.</p>
<p>The studio's defining characteristic is its deliberate position between academia and commercial practice. Much of the team holds teaching or research posts at institutions including SCI-Arc, the Architectural Association, UCL Bartlett and the University of Liverpool, and the research questions raised in those settings feed directly into the studio's project work.</p>
<h2>Services and Capabilities</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Conceptual design</strong> - the studio positions itself as a specialist in conceptual design solutions rather than a conventional full-service practice</li>
<li><strong>Architectural and urban design</strong> - projects spanning building and city scale</li>
<li><strong>Product and object design</strong> - small-scale work including furniture and fabricated objects</li>
<li><strong>Design research</strong> - funded and academic research on computational and fabrication methods</li>
<li><strong>Consultation and workshops</strong> - delivered through the studio's SD Platform arm</li>
<li><strong>Exhibition and installation work</strong></li>
</ul>
<h2>Technologies and Methods</h2>
<h3>Augmented Reality and Human Augmentation</h3>
<p>The studio's most distinctive research strand explores using AR and wearable systems to help human builders execute complex, precise, digitally generated geometry by hand. Rather than replacing the craftsperson with a robot, this approach augments them - projecting digital guidance into the physical workspace so that forms which would normally demand CNC fabrication can be assembled directly by people.</p>
<h3>Robotic Fabrication</h3>
<p>Alongside augmented human construction, the team works on robotic fabrication processes and AR-assisted robotic workflows, an area covered by ongoing doctoral research within the studio.</p>
<h3>Algorithmic and Generative Design</h3>
<p>Core competencies include generative and algorithmic design through computer coding, multi-agent systems, digital simulation, behavioural patterns drawn from natural systems, and interactive or responsive environments. The studio also publishes its own digital toolset through SD Platform, distributed via Food4Rhino for the Grasshopper and Rhino ecosystem.</p>
<h2>SD Platform</h2>
<p>SD Platform is the studio's education and knowledge-sharing arm, running workshops, short courses, consultation and an open toolset library. It extends the practice's reach well beyond its own project list, making the studio a reference point for designers learning computational workflows.</p>
<h2>Industries Served</h2>
<ul>
<li>Architecture and the built environment</li>
<li>Architectural education and academic research</li>
<li>Product and furniture design</li>
<li>Digital fabrication and construction technology</li>
</ul>
<h2>Market Position</h2>
<p>SoomeenHahm Design occupies a niche that few practices attempt: a small studio whose output is as much intellectual as constructed. Its influence travels through teaching, published research, workshops and freely distributed tools as well as through projects. For firms exploring AR-assisted construction, robotic fabrication or algorithmic design, it is one of the more visible independent research practices working in this space.</p>
<h2>Team</h2>
<p>The studio operates as a compact core team of designers and researchers, led by founder Soomeen Hahm - previously a senior designer at Zaha Hadid Architects - alongside associates and research staff based between London and Los Angeles. Its small size is intentional, keeping the work close to the research that drives it.</p>
<h2>Contact and Location</h2>
<p>The studio is based on Leather Lane in Clerkenwell, central London, an area long associated with design and making, and works with clients and collaborators internationally.</p>

<h2>About ProStruct Engineering</h2>
<p>ProStruct Engineering Inc. is a full-service structural and civil engineering firm delivering permit-ready engineering plans for homeowners, contractors, architects and developers. The practice brings more than 35 years of combined experience and has completed over 3,000 projects across residential and commercial sectors.</p>
<p>All plans are stamped by licensed Professional Engineers, and the firm is licensed to practise in eleven states: California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Arizona, Texas, Nevada, Utah, Georgia, Idaho and New Mexico. Many services are delivered remotely with local site visits where required.</p>
<h2>Residential Services</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>New custom homes</strong> - complete structural design covering foundation, floor framing, load-bearing walls, roof structure and lateral bracing</li>
<li><strong>ADUs and JADUs</strong> - detached and attached accessory dwelling units and garage conversions</li>
<li><strong>Additions and remodels</strong> - room additions, second storeys and major renovations, including analysis of existing structures and the connections between old and new work</li>
<li><strong>Load-bearing wall removal</strong> - steel beams, LVL headers, post locations and connection hardware for open-plan layouts</li>
<li><strong>Foundation design and repair</strong> - slab-on-grade, raised and pier systems, underpinning and helical piers</li>
<li><strong>Retaining walls</strong> - gravity, cantilever and segmental systems over four feet</li>
<li><strong>Decks, patios and porches</strong> - post sizing, beam spans and ledger connections</li>
</ul>
<h2>Commercial Services</h2>
<p>The firm also works on ground-up construction, tenant improvements, mixed-use buildings, apartments and townhouses, warehouses, offices, retail, data centres and equipment anchorage.</p>
<h2>Civil Engineering</h2>
<p>Civil services cover site plans, grading, drainage design and stormwater management, ensuring projects satisfy local land development requirements. Many projects need both disciplines to achieve permit approval, and offering them together removes a coordination gap that often delays smaller schemes.</p>
<h2>Seismic Retrofitting</h2>
<p>In the western states particularly, seismic upgrading is a significant workload: soft-storey retrofits, foundation bolting, cripple wall bracing and unreinforced masonry improvements carried out to satisfy city ordinance requirements. These are legally mandated in several jurisdictions, giving the work a steady regulatory driver.</p>
<h2>How the Practice Differentiates</h2>
<h3>Speed and Transparency</h3>
<p>Most projects are delivered in two to three weeks, with same-day quotes and fixed, transparent pricing rather than hourly billing - meaningful for homeowners and small contractors who cannot absorb open-ended fees.</p>
<h3>Permit Revision Guarantee</h3>
<p>The firm commits to revising plans at no extra charge, without limit, where building department comments relate to its own scope of work, until the permit is approved. Exclusions apply for matters outside its control such as land ownership disputes, existing unpermitted construction, or architectural and zoning deficiencies.</p>
<h3>Dedicated Project Management</h3>
<p>Every project includes a dedicated project manager at no additional cost, acting as a single point of contact and coordinating with third-party professionals.</p>
<h2>Site Inspections and Assessments</h2>
<p>ProStruct provides pre-purchase structural evaluations, damage assessments, grading verification and construction observation - work frequently required at short notice during property transactions.</p>
<h2>Why AEC Teams Should Know ProStruct</h2>
<p>For architects, designers and contractors needing responsive structural and civil engineering on residential and light commercial projects across the western and southern United States, ProStruct is a useful reference point in the built environment.</p>

ProStruct Engineering delivers permit-ready structural and civil plans for homes, ADUs, additions, foundations and seismic retrofits across 11 US states.

<h2>About Pixelhead Studio</h2>
<p>Pixelhead Studio is a 3D visualization and animation practice based in Indianapolis, Indiana, working with clients across disciplines and geographies. The studio is built on a single idea: that every design deserves to be seen before it exists.</p>
<p>Founded and led by Stephen Collison, with Sherri Collison as operations lead and a network of collaborators, Pixel-Head Studio LLC works with architects, developers, product designers, artists and brands to translate ideas into high-fidelity imagery.</p>
<h2>What Visualization Is For</h2>
<p>The studio's range spans two quite different purposes. Rapid exploratory visuals let a design team test a direction while decisions are still open and changes cost little. Precise photorealistic simulation, by contrast, serves marketing, presentation and approval - where the image must convince a planning committee, an investment board or a prospective buyer of something not yet built.</p>
<p>Both matter, and they demand different things. Exploratory work prizes speed and iteration; final production work prizes accuracy of material, light and proportion. Pixelhead offers both, describing its role as bringing the craft and the tools to make an idea real.</p>
<h2>Services</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Architectural visualization</strong> - exterior and interior renderings of proposed buildings</li>
<li><strong>Interior visualization</strong> - detailed images of interior environments, materials and lighting</li>
<li><strong>Product and furniture visualization</strong> - imagery for design development and product marketing</li>
<li><strong>Animation</strong> - moving sequences and fly-throughs</li>
<li><strong>Fabrication visualization</strong> - imagery supporting manufacture and assembly</li>
</ul>
<h2>Working Across Disciplines</h2>
<p>Serving architects, product designers, artists and brands from one studio is less common than it sounds. Architectural rendering and product rendering have different conventions - scale, lighting setup, context and the level of material realism expected all differ - and a studio comfortable in both brings useful transfer between them.</p>
<h2>Clients and Collaborators</h2>
<p>The studio's client list includes design practices such as Perkins&amp;Will's Dallas studio, RATIO Design, TBG Partners, P1 Studio, KLS Design, Delv Design and Easterseals Crossroads, alongside artists and independent designers. Working with established architecture and landscape firms indicates the technical standard expected of the output.</p>
<h2>Why Visualization Matters in AEC</h2>
<p>Visualization has moved from a presentation add-on to a core part of the design and approval process. Planning authorities increasingly expect accurate visual assessment of proposals in context; developers rely on renderings to secure funding and pre-sales long before completion; and clients who cannot read drawings make better decisions when they can see a space. Errors caught in an image are far cheaper than errors caught on site.</p>
<h2>Market Position</h2>
<p>Pixelhead competes as a specialist visualization studio serving design professionals who need imagery of a standard their own in-house resources cannot produce, or capacity they cannot spare. Its position outside the major coastal design centres, while working nationally, reflects how thoroughly this discipline has become location-independent.</p>
<h2>Why AEC Teams Should Know Pixelhead Studio</h2>
<p>For architects and developers needing concept testing, marketing imagery or animation, Pixelhead is a useful reference point for independent visualization practice across the built environment.</p>
<h2>Tools and Craft</h2>
<p>High-fidelity visualisation depends on more than software. Convincing images require understanding of how light behaves in a space at a given time of day, how materials weather and reflect, and how a camera height and lens choice affect whether a room reads as generous or cramped. The studio's emphasis on craft alongside tools reflects that the technical pipeline is now widely available while judgement remains scarce.</p>

Pixelhead Studio creates high-fidelity 3D visualizations and animations for architecture, interiors and product design, based in Indianapolis, Indiana.

<h2>About Ha/f Climate Design</h2>
<p>Ha/f Climate Design is a climate consultancy for the built environment, based in Canada and working across the Greater Toronto Area and internationally. The practice was established on a single premise: the construction and operation of buildings account for most of a city's greenhouse gas emissions, and addressing how we build cities is among the most important challenges in reducing them.</p>
<p>The name states the goal. Ha/f exists to work with designers, planners and city builders to halve those emissions within this decade - a deliberately specific and time-bound target rather than a general commitment to sustainability.</p>
<h2>Whole Building Life Cycle Assessment</h2>
<p>The team specialises in Whole Building Life Cycle Assessment (wbLCA) for new construction projects. Where operational energy modelling addresses how a building performs once occupied, wbLCA measures the carbon embodied in producing, transporting, installing, maintaining and eventually disposing of everything the building is made from.</p>
<p>This distinction matters increasingly. As buildings become more energy efficient in use, the proportion of their lifetime carbon locked into structure, facade and finishes grows correspondingly - and unlike operational emissions, embodied carbon is largely spent before anyone moves in. Ha/f provides clients with carbon reduction and material reuse opportunities that balance design, cost, constructability and carbon together, rather than treating carbon as a constraint applied after the design is fixed.</p>
<h2>Circular Economy Services</h2>
<p>The practice is advancing adoption of the circular economy through pioneering research and demonstration deconstruction projects. Rather than demolishing a building and landfilling the result, deconstruction recovers materials with residual value for reuse in new work.</p>
<p>Demonstration projects are important here because the barriers to material reuse are rarely technical. Insurance, warranty, certification and supply-chain logistics are what stop reclaimed steel or timber being specified, and only built examples resolve those questions credibly.</p>
<h2>Research and Policy</h2>
<p>Ha/f works with public, private and non-profit organisations on research into wbLCA and circular economy policy, with a particular focus on the Greater Toronto Area. The work looks ahead to accelerating adoption of the circular economy, bio-based materials and high-performance buildings.</p>
<p>Policy engagement is a deliberate lever: individual project decisions matter, but building codes and procurement rules determine what the whole market does.</p>
<h2>Advocacy and Education</h2>
<p>Teaching whole life carbon best practice is central to the firm's stated mission. As a globally active collaborator in whole life carbon and sustainable design, Ha/f positions itself as a conduit for knowledge sharing, advocating industry-wide adoption of sustainable practice rather than treating its expertise as purely proprietary.</p>
<h2>Who Works With Ha/f</h2>
<p>Typical clients include architects, developers, municipalities, institutional owners and non-profit organisations - anyone required to quantify or reduce the embodied carbon of a project, whether driven by regulation, corporate targets or genuine conviction.</p>
<h2>Market Position</h2>
<p>Ha/f occupies a specialist niche that is expanding quickly as embodied carbon reporting moves from voluntary to mandatory across an increasing number of jurisdictions. Its combination of assessment capability, circular economy research and policy work is unusual for a firm of its size.</p>
<h2>Why AEC Teams Should Know Ha/f</h2>
<p>For architects, engineers and developers facing embodied carbon requirements, Ha/f is a useful reference point for life cycle assessment, material reuse and deconstruction practice across the built environment.</p>

Ha/f Climate Design delivers whole building life cycle assessment, embodied carbon reduction and circular economy consulting for the built environment.

<h2>About Studio Sarah Willmer Architecture</h2>
<p>Studio Sarah Willmer Architecture is an award-winning, nationally and internationally published architecture and interiors firm based in San Francisco, working across the Bay Area, Sonoma and Marin County. The practice is led by Sarah Willmer, who holds a Master of Architecture from Yale University and a Bachelor of Architecture from Syracuse University.</p>
<p>The studio was founded after fourteen years with several prominent firms, including Skidmore, Owings &amp; Merrill, Polshek Partnership Architects and Anshen + Allen. The motivation was specific: a desire to stay intimately involved in the design process from concept through construction, rather than moving into the management role that scale usually imposes on senior architects.</p>
<h2>Design Principles</h2>
<p>Three principles are realised in every project - simplicity, spaciousness and light, and sustainability. The design process is guided by three corresponding decisions:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Structure as a primary expression of space</strong> - the building's frame is expressed rather than concealed, so structure and spatial experience are resolved together</li>
<li><strong>The control and infusion of natural light</strong> - daylight treated as a material to be shaped, not simply admitted</li>
<li><strong>An environmentally sensitive and elegant material palette</strong> - restraint in material choice serving both aesthetic and ecological ends</li>
</ul>
<h2>Areas of Work</h2>
<h3>Private Residences</h3>
<p>The core of the practice. Projects include the Two-Way House in San Francisco, conceived around pairing an original 1900 Victorian facade and traditional parlour with an open-plan, two-storey modern rear addition - a considered response to the challenge of adding contemporary space behind a protected historic frontage. Sonoma Retreat extends the residential work into rural Northern California.</p>
<h3>Workplace</h3>
<p>The studio designs commercial interiors, notably the Turn/River Capital headquarters, which transformed a generic tenant floor on the seventeenth storey of a San Francisco high-rise into a calm, collaborative workplace with fifty workstations, conference rooms at several scales, video-call rooms and shared spaces. The firm has also worked at the Shorebird campus in Mountain View.</p>
<h3>Housing Research</h3>
<p>Beyond commissioned work, the studio undertakes housing studies - including a design study of an eight-block area of San Francisco's Sunset district along the L Muni line, proposing three new housing prototypes. Speculative research of this kind engages directly with California's housing supply debate rather than waiting for a client to raise it.</p>
<h2>Renovation and Historic Fabric</h2>
<p>Much of the residential work involves existing buildings, particularly San Francisco's Victorian and Edwardian stock. This demands fluency in structural upgrading, seismic retrofit and planning approvals alongside design - and skill in making new work sit convincingly against old.</p>
<h2>Recognition</h2>
<p>The practice is award-winning and has been published nationally and internationally, with coverage in Interior Design, Archello, Architizer and design media following its residential and workplace projects.</p>
<h2>Market Position</h2>
<p>The studio competes on design quality and principal-level involvement rather than scale, serving Bay Area homeowners and workplace clients who want direct access to the designer from first sketch to final detail.</p>
<h2>Why AEC Teams Should Know the Studio</h2>
<p>For architects interested in daylight-driven design, sensitive additions to historic housing, or how a senior designer structures a practice around staying close to the work, Studio Sarah Willmer is a useful contemporary reference in the built environment.</p>

Studio Sarah Willmer Architecture is an award-winning San Francisco firm designing private residences, workplaces and housing studies across the Bay Area.

<h2>About Slicelab</h2>
<p>Slicelab is a research and development design studio and consulting agency that bridges the gap between additive manufacturing and tangible product design. Rather than treating 3D printing as a prototyping shortcut, the studio treats it as a production method in its own right - one that permits geometries and material behaviours conventional manufacturing cannot achieve. Its stated remit is creating innovative design solutions at all scales.</p>
<h2>Computational Craftsmanship</h2>
<p>The studio's defining idea is what it calls computational craftsmanship: integrating digital precision with artistic judgement. Computational tools allow intricate, individually varied customisation, transforming standard designs into products that could not be economically produced by any other means.</p>
<p>This matters because additive manufacturing removes the traditional relationship between complexity and cost. A lattice with ten thousand unique cells costs no more to print than a solid block of the same volume, which makes fine-grained performance tuning economically viable for the first time.</p>
<h2>Core Capabilities</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Additive manufacturing design</strong> - designing specifically for the constraints and freedoms of 3D printing</li>
<li><strong>Computational and parametric design</strong> - algorithmic generation of complex geometry</li>
<li><strong>Lattice and structural optimisation</strong> - engineered internal structures tuned for stiffness, cushioning or breathability</li>
<li><strong>R&amp;D consulting</strong> - advising brands and manufacturers on adopting additive workflows</li>
<li><strong>Prototyping and product development</strong> - from concept through to manufacturable design</li>
<li><strong>AI-assisted design workflows</strong> - applied in recent footwear concepts</li>
</ul>
<h2>Application Areas</h2>
<h3>Sports Safety and Protective Equipment</h3>
<p>Slicelab develops bio-informed protective equipment with engineered internal structures that manage impact energy. Printed lattices can be tuned zone by zone across a single component - stiffer where load concentrates, softer where comfort matters - which foam padding cannot replicate.</p>
<h3>Wearables</h3>
<p>The studio designed a first-generation integrated health band balancing comfort, durability and seamless health monitoring, where the structure itself must accommodate sensors while remaining wearable for long periods.</p>
<h3>Footwear</h3>
<p>Concept footwear combines AI workflows with additive technology and forms drawn from nature, aimed at raising standards in design, sustainability and functionality simultaneously. Footwear is one of the most active commercial frontiers for 3D printing, where printed midsoles are already reaching mass production.</p>
<h2>Tailored Solutions Across Scales</h2>
<p>A data-driven approach and extensive research allow the studio to tailor designs from small objects through to large systems, maintaining performance and aesthetic quality regardless of scale. That range is unusual: most additive specialists work either at product scale or at architectural scale, rarely both.</p>
<h2>Sustainability</h2>
<p>Additive manufacturing offers meaningful sustainability advantages - material is added only where needed rather than cut away, parts can be produced closer to point of use, and lattice structures reduce material volume substantially. These considerations are explicit in the studio's footwear work.</p>
<h2>Market Position</h2>
<p>Slicelab operates at the intersection of design studio and technical consultancy, serving brands and manufacturers who want to adopt additive manufacturing but lack in-house computational design capability.</p>
<h2>Why AEC Teams Should Know Slicelab</h2>
<p>For anyone following digital fabrication, lattice structures or the industrialisation of 3D printing, Slicelab demonstrates how computational design translates additive technology into manufacturable products relevant across the built environment.</p>
