 There is no shortage of new ideas in AECO or FS right now. But the real challenge is not coming up with ideas it is actually using them. How do you take an idea and turn it into something that people actually use on real projects?
That is exactly the gap the Trimble 0&ndash;60 Challenge is trying to close. This program is not a competition for startups. It is designed to help new companies connect their solutions to workflows, real platforms and real users across the built environment.
At its core the program helps startups build and integrate their solutions directly into Trimbles ecosystem. This includes software like SketchUp, Tekla and Trimble Connect well as field technologies such as GNSS and laser scanning. The goal is simple: make new solutions usable within existing industry workflows.
We sat down with German Aparicio, who leads the program at Trimble to better understand how it came to life what makes it different and what founders should know if they are thinking about applying.
&nbsp;
<h2 style="line-height: 1.5;">The Problem It&rsquo;s Solving</h2>
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">Q: What is the Trimble 0&ndash;60 Challenge really trying to tackle?</h3>
According to German Aparicio the industry has reached a turning point.
"We do not have a shortage of solutions anymore " he says. "What we are missing is people actually using them."
He explains that this shift is happening across the industry. Companies are actively looking for solutions they can use today.. Ai and automation are quickly moving from experimentation into practice. The biggest challenge is no longer coming up with ideas it is getting those solutions used in real workflows.
The Trimble 0&ndash;60 Challenge is trying to solve this problem. Startups often struggle not because their solutions are not valuable. Because they lack access to real platforms real users and real integration opportunities.
For Aparicio success is not just about launching a product. It is about whether that product can be used in workflows and deliver value in practice.
&nbsp;
<h2 style="line-height: 1.5;">From Idea to Platform: How 0&ndash;60 Came to Life</h2>
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">Q: How did the Trimble 0&ndash;60 Challenge come to life, and how has your role shaped it?</h3>
German Aparicio explains that the idea behind the Trimble 0&ndash;60 Challenge was simple but powerful.
"There are a lot of startups in AEC " he says, "but very few have access to the right ecosystem to actually grow."
"The goal was not to create another startup competition " he adds. "It was to build a bridge connecting early-stage companies into real workflows, real products and real users."
The program has evolved into an initiative supporting startups building solutions across Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Owner-Operator workflows. It also includes Field Systems, such as civil, earthworks and geospatial technologies.
At its core the focus comes down to three areas: Connected Data, Connected Design and Connected Field and Jobsite. In words solutions that bridge the gap between digital and physical workflows.

</figure>
<h2 style="line-height: 1.5;">&nbsp;</h2>
<h2 style="line-height: 1.5;">Why Integration Matters</h2>
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">Q: A big differentiator is integration with Trimble tools, why does that matter?</h3>
This is where the Trimble 0&ndash;60 Challenge really stands apart.
Startups are not building in isolation. They are building on top of tools that teams already use every day. This includes Trimble Connect, SketchUp, Tekla and ProjectSight well as hardware like GNSS receivers, total stations and laser scanners.
"That level of integration changes everything " German Aparicio says.
Of asking users to adopt something entirely new startups can fit into tools that teams already rely on.. In AEC that is critical.
Adoption does not happen because something is new. It happens because it fits into existing workflows.
&nbsp;
<h2 style="line-height: 1.5;">What Makes This Program Different</h2>
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">Q: What makes the Trimble 0&ndash;60 Challenge unique?</h3>
German Aparicio is very clear on this point.
"A lot of programs focus on ideas. We focus on execution."
That focus shows up in how the program's structured. It is about building solutions that plug into tools that teams already use, solving workflow challenges rather than hypothetical ones.
The value is not mentorship it is access. Access to platforms to customers and to the Trimble ecosystem.
<figure class="image align-center"><img src="https://aecplustech-files.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/0d473eb3-75f1-4393-bf11-8b40680a062d.webp" alt="" width="800">
<figcaption>The value is not mentorship. It is access to platforms to customers and to the Trimble ecosystem.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 style="line-height: 1.5;">&nbsp;</h2>
<h2 style="line-height: 1.5;">What Happens During the 12-Week Program</h2>
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">Q: The program is intense, how do you make sure founders walk away with real progress?</h3>
The 12-week journey is designed to push startups beyond theory and into execution.
Each team works closely with Trimble experts, product teams and industry stakeholders. There are check-ins, structured feedback loops and milestone demos throughout the program.
"It is not about polishing a pitch " German Aparicio says. "It is about building something that connects and scales."
By the time startups reach Demo Day at Trimble Dimensions they have gone through iterations, not just internal ones but with actual users and real constraints.
<figure class="image align-center"><img src="https://aecplustech-files.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/56b627e9-46c3-4092-8557-118f96f9e519.webp" alt="" width="800">

</figure>
<h2 style="line-height: 1.5;">&nbsp;</h2>
<h2 style="line-height: 1.5;">What Makes a Strong Application</h2>
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">Q: What catches your attention when reviewing applications?</h3>
German Aparicio looks for teams that understand one thing: where their solution actually fits.
"We are not just looking for ideas we are looking for solutions that can connect to real problems in the field."
The strongest applications tend to focus on an specific pain point show strong potential for integration and demonstrate how the solution could scale across projects or firms.
At the same time, the cohort is intentionally diverse, spanning everything from data platforms and design tools to field technologies, while still being connected through a shared focus on real-world impact.
&nbsp;
<h2 style="line-height: 1.5;">Looking Ahead: AI, Digital Twins, and What&rsquo;s Next</h2>
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">Q: How do you see the program evolving with AI and digital transformation?</h3>
As AI, digital twins and automation become more central to AEC, the role of programs like the 0&ndash;60 Challenge becomes even more important.
"We are going to see convergence between the digital and physical worlds " German Aparicio says. "The challenge will be making those connections usable and scalable."
For founders the advice is simple.
"Think beyond your product. Think about how it fits into the ecosystem."
&nbsp;
<h2 style="line-height: 1.5;">Who Should Apply</h2>
This program is especially relevant for teams building AI tools for AECO or FS workflows. It is also relevant for teams working on automation, robotics or field technologies or developing solutions that integrate with existing platforms.
It&rsquo;s particularly valuable for those looking to move from prototype to real-world deployment, and for teams thinking seriously about how their solution fits into actual industry workflows, not just standalone innovation.
<figure class="image align-center"><img src="https://aecplustech-files.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/f01fedd1-0007-4059-a395-01fffb4bb02a.webp" alt="" width="800">
<figcaption>It&rsquo;s valuable for teams thinking seriously about how their solution fits into actual industry workflows, not just standalone innovation.</figcaption>
</figure>
&nbsp;
<h2 style="line-height: 1.5;">What You Gain</h2>
Startups that go through the program gain more than visibility.
They have the opportunity to present their solution to an audience at Trimble Dimensions. They also gain access to technical and business mentorship throughout the program.
There is also support in turning ideas into scalable real-world solutions along with potential pathways to investment and industry partnerships.
&nbsp;
<h2 style="line-height: 1.5;">Key Dates for 2026</h2>
&bull; Applications Close: May 22, 2026  
&bull; Finalists Selected: June 12, 2026  
&bull; Kick-Off Event: June 17&ndash;18, 2026  
&bull; Demo Day (Trimble Dimensions): November 9&ndash;11, 2026
&nbsp;
<h2 style="line-height: 1.5;">Final Thoughts</h2>
At aec+tech, we see every day how difficult it is for new solutions to move from proof of concept to real adoption.
The gap between innovation and implementation remains one of the biggest challenges in AECO and FS.
Programs like the Trimble 0&ndash;60 Challenge are helping close that gap, not just by focusing on ideas, but by creating real pathways into the industry.
For teams building in this space, this is one of the programs worth paying attention to.

Most managed service providers treat AEC firms like any other client: set up the email, monitor the firewall, renew the licenses.&nbsp;
The problem is that an architecture practice is not a law firm or a retail chain. Its people work differently, its software stack is large and demanding, and its culture runs on consensus rather than mandate. Multi-gigabyte Revit models moving across offices and continents are a routine operational challenge, not an edge case. A generic MSP is rarely equipped to meet those realities.
Flying Buttress was built specifically for this gap. Founded in 2010 by Michael Donahue, who spent nearly a decade managing IT inside architecture firm WATG, the company describes itself as the world's largest IT firm dedicated entirely to Architecture, Engineering, and Design practices.&nbsp;
In this aecplustech article, we asked Donahue key questions to give you a clear understanding of how Flying Buttress thinks about AED technology, what a cloud-first migration actually looks like in practice, and why he does not believe in five-year plans.

<div>
&nbsp;
1) Can you tell us the story behind Flying Buttress &mdash; how and why the company was founded specifically to serve Architecture, Engineering &amp; Design (AED) firms?
Although I have been in IT my entire career, I was not exposed to the specific needs of AED firms until I was hired at WATG in 2000. When I left in 2008, I was running the IT department, which included our KM and development staff. In this role, I had oversight of our budget and managed our vendor and consultant relationships.
When I started Flying Buttress in 2010, I wanted to create an MSP that worked the way I wished it would when I was internal IT. An MSP that was honest, ethical, and cared more about existing clients than chasing new ones. I am proud of what Flying Buttress has become some 16 years later.
&nbsp;
2) Flying Buttress specializes in managed IT services for AED firms. How does your approach differ from a generalist managed services provider?
The difference is significant in three ways: technical, financial, and cultural.
For technology, it is about understanding how to support an Autodesk environment, including patching and licensing, and the same for all the ancillary applications: Bluebeam, Deltek VantagePoint/Ajera, Lumion, SketchUp, and more.
Financially, having lived through a couple of significant economic downturns means we understand the importance of cash flow, WIP, and so on when budgeting and making the most of overhead dollars. We also understand the concept of deliverables and how to get the user able to work on them in a minimal amount of time.
Finally, the culture of AED is unique. In most other verticals there is a strong top-down culture: we are doing X because the CEO says we have to. With AED, the concept of a mandate is rare. This is a consensus culture. It makes it very difficult for IT, but that is part of the challenge. How do you implement change when there is no "just do it" button?

3) Many AEC firms struggle with collaboration across offices and with large design file workflows. How does Flying Buttress address these challenges technically and strategically for your clients?
It sounds simplistic, but the answer is the cloud. A combination of Autodesk Construction Cloud and Egnyte eliminates the traditional data silos that firms face. If we can do that without expensive hardware and on-premise equipment, so much the better.
For what it is worth, I have still not found any application that truly replicates the in-office collaboration experience, let alone the typical studio layout. That gap is real and worth acknowledging honestly.
<blockquote>
"A combination of ACC and Egnyte eliminates the traditional data silos that firms face. If we can do that without expensive hardware and on-premise equipment, so much the better." -&nbsp;Michael Donahue, Founder &amp; CEO, Flying Buttress
</blockquote>
&nbsp;
4) Can you describe a customer success story or case study that illustrates how your services have transformed a firm&rsquo;s IT environment or business outcomes?
To be fair, we get a fair amount of our clients from firms that are already in trouble or want to make sure an upcoming transformation investment is spent wisely.
We recently took a 120-staff firm across three offices that was running VDI and offsite files and moved them to a full, cloud-first profile. One laptop per user. Work from anywhere. Significant security upgrades. And less expensive than the previous setup.
<blockquote>
"One laptop per user. Work from anywhere. Significant security upgrades. And less expensive." -&nbsp;Michael Donahue, on a recent 120-person, three-office cloud migration
</blockquote>
&nbsp;
5) Security and data protection are major concerns in AEC practices. How do you approach cybersecurity and risk mitigation for firms that rely heavily on critical design data?
This is not easy in the AED world, in part due to the culture. There is a lack of mandate, as mentioned earlier, but also, designers and engineers generally want to share knowledge. It is an open, collaborative environment. There is a clear tradeoff between security and ease of access that needs to be managed carefully.
The cloud also plays a large role here: major platform providers offer more comprehensive security and backup capabilities than most individual firms could replicate on their own, regardless of budget.
Our approach is built on layered security and automated resolution, but the human factor is what we cannot fully control. We can only train for it.
&nbsp;
6) Looking ahead, what emerging technologies or trends do you think will most impact technology strategies within AEC firms &mdash; and how is Flying Buttress preparing to support those shifts?
AI, right now, is still in the nascent stage for most firms, much like 3D printing and virtual reality were years ago. Exciting, certainly front-of-mind, but there are not many concrete examples out there demonstrating impact on deliverable quality or the bottom line.
One advantage Flying Buttress has is that because we work with an extensive list of clients, we are better positioned than most to see what actually works and what does not across firms. What I can tell you is that we do not believe in strict five-year plans. Our outlooks cap at three years. Things are changing too quickly.
<blockquote>
"We don't believe in strict five-year plans. Our outlooks cap at three years. Things are changing too quickly." -&nbsp;Michael Donahue, Founder &amp; CEO, Flying Buttress
</blockquote>
&nbsp;
7) What advice would you give AEC firm leaders who are evaluating whether to outsource their IT support versus building internal technology capabilities?
I would always recommend some percentage of outsourcing, but that percentage can vary significantly based on firm size. We quite often work with internal IT in a hybrid mode, so it is not necessarily one or the other.
What is most important is having some tie-in to firm leadership who can ensure alignment with business goals, whether that happens at a consultant level or as internal staff. MSPs are especially helpful when considering new technologies, or for firm-to-firm comparisons: is our IT percentage of budget in alignment with other firms our size? That kind of benchmarking is difficult to do from the inside.
&nbsp;
Conclusion
Flying Buttress offers managed IT across every layer of a firm's technology environment, from individual workstations to global network infrastructure and strategic oversight.

BIM adoption is no longer the challenge. Every serious AEC firm models in 3D. The new dividing line is validation, and most firms are still on the wrong side of it.
Solibri has been making the case for BIM validation for years. As one of the leading model-checking platforms in the industry, it works with AEC firms to catch errors in the model before those errors reach the jobsite. That sounds straightforward. In practice, most firms still treat validation as something that happens occasionally, or at the end of a phase, rather than as a discipline built into the daily workflow.
Three articles Solibri published recently push back on that. Each one focuses on a different project type: data center construction, public transportation infrastructure, and design-build delivery. Taken separately, each makes a strong case on its own terms. Read together, they build something more useful: a clear picture of how the same underlying problem is playing out across very different parts of the industry, and why the stakes keep rising.
The connecting thread is clear. Technical complexity, legal accountability, delivery speed: each project type adds pressure in a different way. But the conclusion is the same each time. Getting the model right is not optional anymore. It is a business requirement.
Here is what each piece covers, and why it is worth paying attention to.
<h2 dir="ltr">1) Data Centers: When Speed and Scale Demand Precision</h2>
<div>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech-files.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/b22946ab-1c99-48d8-abab-5f5b1d3b651e.png" alt="Fig 2.

</div>
<div>
The data center construction market is expected to nearly double over the next five years, with global infrastructure investment approaching $7 trillion annually, per McKinsey. For AEC firms who want a piece of that work, these projects are technically demanding unlike almost anything else.
Data centers are extraordinarily dense environments. Fitting all of that into a coordinated, safe, and maintainable space is harder than it looks. Solibri spoke with Matthew Lohden, Senior Consultant in the Innovation Division of Accenture's Infrastructure and Capital Projects arm, about what that means in practice:
<blockquote>
"The really big challenges in data centers are getting all of the electrical, telecommunications, and mechanical systems to fit in the most efficient package possible. That doesn't necessarily mean the tightest package because there has to be room for everybody to move around and maintain and update the place efficiently and safely." &ndash; Matthew Lohden, Senior Consultant, Accenture Infrastructure &amp; Capital Projects
</blockquote>
This is precisely where an unvalidated model does its worst damage. A clash between an underground bus duct and a bollard footing, a cable tray positioned too low for lift access: none of these are visible until they become field problems. In a high-voltage setting, rework is not only a budget issue. It directly increases safety risk to the people doing it.
Rule-based model checking lets teams define what "correct" looks like, then runs those rules across the full federated model on every change, after every subcontractor model is added. Issues are ranked by severity. Fixes are tracked. As Lohden noted:
<blockquote>
"Right now, I can't imagine that anyone is building data centers without BIM. With Solibri, we can do a thorough, complete, and detailed model coordination review much more quickly. Plus, the reports are actually actionable." &ndash; Matthew Lohden, Senior Consultant, Accenture Infrastructure &amp; Capital Projects
</blockquote>
Data center requirements are also shifting fast: from air-cooled to liquid-cooled, from standard rack densities to AI-driven loads exceeding 100kW per rack. A validated model is not a one-time task. It is the ongoing mechanism that keeps the project on course.&nbsp;
The full Solibri article goes deeper on exactly how teams apply this in practice, including the three-step validation process Lohden outlines for keeping data center projects on track.

Data centers show the technical cost of getting the model wrong. The second Solibri article highlights something that will catch many AEC firms off guard: the legal cost.
For most of BIM's history on public projects, the 3D model played a supporting role alongside traditional 2D contract documents. That is changing fast. State departments of transportation across the U.S. are piloting programs where the model does not supplement the drawings. It becomes the legal document. Utah has greenlit full Model as Legal Document (MALD) projects under its digital delivery program. Pennsylvania launched its pilot in 2023. Texas has issued formal guidance announcing its transition to digital delivery with the model as the contractual authority. AASHTO has published readiness frameworks to help DOTs assess whether they are prepared to follow.
Michael Warren, Digital Growth Lead at AECOM, the largest design firm by revenue per ENR rankings, has watched this shift up close. His take:
<blockquote>
"As DOTs and the FHWA started to realize the benefits of data-rich 3D models and vendors started to create software products that could deliver things in the transportation space, it got fascinating. The world opened up." &ndash; Michael Warren, Digital Growth Lead, AECOM
</blockquote>
When the model is the legal document, it has to be as reliable as a signed drawing set. It must be the single source of truth for design intent, construction, quantity takeoffs, and long-term asset management. Any error becomes a legal liability. BIM execution plan requirements for some highway projects already run hundreds of pages, and the bar keeps rising.
Meeting that standard means validating on two levels.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Geometrically: clashes, clearances, and conflicts resolved before they reach the field, including confirming maintenance access to components that will need servicing for decades, from valve handles to bridge scuppers.&nbsp;
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Semantically: standardized naming conventions, compliant object libraries, and IFC-based data structures so every stakeholder, from the contracting agency to the smallest subcontractor, can read and use the model in their own platform.&nbsp;
</li>
</ul>
As Warren put it:
<blockquote>
"With Solibri, you can check model integrity. Were the elements in the model created meeting ISO or other industry standards for what a model should contain? Then, for clash detection, the tool will take you to views that are already established or create new ones, preferably a three-dimensional isometric view, that clearly demonstrates we have an interference." &ndash; Michael Warren, Digital Growth Lead, AECOM
</blockquote>
The full article goes further, covering how openBIM standards and IFC adoption are making MALD programs practical at scale, and what the as-built model means for long-term infrastructure asset management. If your firm works on publicly funded projects, this one is required reading.

Technical complexity and legal accountability are two strong reasons to validate continuously. The third Solibri article shows why if your delivery model depends on speed, an unvalidated model is the fastest way to lose it.
Design-build puts design and construction under one roof. Teams work in parallel instead of in sequence, which cuts timelines significantly. A buildingSMART international survey found 31% of respondents already using 4D BIM and 27% using 5D BIM. But concurrent delivery has a problem that sequential delivery avoids: errors do not stay in one phase. They travel.
A buildability problem, a fire safety gap after a layout change, a clearance that no longer works after a design revision: in design-build, these do not wait for a review meeting. They show up on the jobsite, where they cost far more to fix.
Continuous model checking is what keeps speed from becoming a liability. Every iteration validated before it leaves the office. Every change checked before it reaches the field.
There is also a workforce gap to contend with. The construction industry is short roughly half a million workers, per U.S. Census Bureau data. Firms cannot always put their most experienced people on every task. Rules encoded in checking software carry the judgment of senior engineers to every team member, including those still building their instincts. The model becomes a training tool as much as a delivery tool.
At closeout, that validated model becomes a delivery asset. More owners now require an accurate as-built model at handover. On a design-build project there is no other party to produce it. A well-validated process throughout construction makes the as-built a natural output rather than a last-minute rebuild.
The full Solibri article covers four specific ways model checking strengthens design-build delivery, from maintaining agility through design changes to seamless owner handover.

<h2 dir="ltr">In Conclusion</h2>
Data centers, MALD transportation projects, and design-build delivery are very different from each other. But they share one thing: in each case, the cost of an unvalidated model has crossed a line. It is no longer an internal quality matter. It is a project risk with real consequences for budget, schedule, safety, and legal standing.
The firms moving fastest are not the ones with the most sophisticated models. They are the ones who check their models constantly, on every change, across every discipline, acting on what they find. The model is right. Everything downstream works better because of it.
For firms still treating validation as a final step, the fix is not a new tool. It is a new habit. Rule-based checking software can run across a full federated model in minutes. Run it on every change. Act on what it finds.

An unvalidated BIM model isn't just a quality risk anymore—it's a budget risk, a legal liability, and a schedule threat. This article examines how Solibri's rule-based model checking is becoming essential across data center construction, transportation infrastructure, and design-build delivery, where the cost of getting the model wrong keeps rising.

Why BIM Validation Is No Longer Optional in AEC Project Delivery

Clash detection is a solved problem &mdash; most teams working in Autodesk Revit and coordinating models in Autodesk Navisworks know the drill: run the clash test, export the report, book the coordination meeting, assign fixes, and repeat the cycle.
But anyone who has lived through it knows the truth: the real work doesn't start when clashes are found. It starts afterward &mdash; in the hours and days of manual repositioning, rerouting, and re-checking that follow.
At a recent product demo webinar hosted by aec+tech, the team behind Vavetek AI - Nitin Gupta (Founder &amp; CEO), Vimal Yadav (Founding Member and Product Lead), and Anuj Gupta (COO &amp; Co-founder) &mdash; walked through the thinking, technical architecture, and live demonstration of BAMROC, their automated MEP clash resolution software for Revit. The session brought together AEC professionals, BIM coordinators, and engineering consultancies curious about where AI-assisted coordination was actually headed not in theory, but in practice, inside live Revit models.
Throughout the discussion, one observation stood out: the industry has become very good at detecting clashes. Resolving them, however, remains largely manual, repetitive, and meeting-heavy.
Their solution is BAMROC, an AI-powered, patent-protected system built not just to find conflicts between MEP and structural systems, but to resolve them automatically, inside your existing Revit and Navisworks workflow.
That difference changes everything.
<h2 dir="ltr">The MEP Coordination Bottleneck in a &ldquo;Digital&rdquo; Workflow</h2>
For many teams, AEC teams, MEP coordination quietly eats up a huge portion of time during the engineering design phase.
Ducts get nudged around beams. Pipes are rerouted beneath ceilings. Cable trays shift to maintain clearance. And every change risks triggering a fresh set of clashes somewhere else in the model.
It's common for a BIM coordinator to spend an entire day resolving 60 to 75 clashes. On large projects with hundreds &mdash; or thousands &mdash; of conflicts, the ripple effect can stretch schedules and push up costs. To stay safe, designers often oversize shafts or lower ceilings more than necessary, sacrificing spatial efficiency just to avoid coordination risk.
The scale of the problem is significant. BIM coordinators who are&nbsp; highly skilled professionals are routinely tasked with resolving clashes one by one, manually adjusting routing and elements across models that span multiple disciplines, floors, and subcontractors. There is no automated audit trail. Validation is a separate exercise. And every coordination meeting adds overhead without adding design value.
Unlike tools such as Revizto or Solibri which excel at detecting, tracking, and assigning clashes, BAMROC is designed specifically to resolve them automatically.
Vavetek AI's founder, architect Nitin Gupta, who brings more than 30 years of industry experience, has seen this pattern over and over again. The conclusion his team reached was straightforward: detection is largely solved. Resolution isn't.&nbsp;
<h2 dir="ltr">Moving from Reports to Real Action</h2>
In a live demo, the BAMROC workflow initially looked familiar.
Structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing models were linked in Revit. A clash test was run in Navisworks. Sixty-three clashes appeared.
Normally, this is where the coordination meetings begin.
Instead, the Vavetek&rsquo;s Navisworks plugin generated a formatted clash report and pushed it back into Revit. The user defined a scope, selecting a specific floor and section box and chose resolution strategy such as moving elements (Movement Strategy) or bending MEP systems around obstructions (Bend Strategy).
Then the manual work stopped.
The computation shifted to the cloud. BAMROC's AI engine analysed every clash, explored viable solutions, and produced a prediction file - specifying how each element across every Revit file needed to move. Back in Revit, a single click on "Implement Prediction" applied all those changes to the model. Within the same session, all 63 clashes were resolved. Structural constraints were respected. Gravity pipes maintained slope. Pinned elements stayed in place. In all design intent is preserved.
Once implementation was complete, the built-in CRDR (Clash Resolution Diagnosis Report) tool in the Navisworks plugin validated the results. The system generated detailed HTML reports with before-and-after images of every clash, giving project teams a clear, documentable audit trail. For firms that need to hand over coordination evidence to clients or third-party checkers, those reports replace what would otherwise be hours of manual documentation.
Behind the scenes, the system applies mathematical, rule-based logic. It&rsquo;s deterministic, meaning the same inputs will always produce the same outputs. Unlike generative AI systems that can behave unpredictably, Bamroc doesn&rsquo;t &ldquo;hallucinate.&rdquo; It doesn&rsquo;t improvise. It follows defined geometric rules at scale.

<div>
<h2 dir="ltr">Automation, Without Losing Control</h2>
One of the biggest concerns engineers have about AI in BIM workflows is losing visibility and control. What changed? Why did it move? Can I trust it?
As Nitin Gupta, Founder and CEO of Vavete AI, explained during the session:
<blockquote>
&ldquo;The interesting part to share with you is that the AI technology used in BAMROC is logic-based and rule-based. For that reason, we are not looking at any percentage of hallucination at all.&rdquo;
</blockquote>
BAMROC addresses these concerns directly. After processing, users can review detailed before-and-after visualisations for each clash. Errors logged during implementation are colour-coded: green indicates issues that BAMROC corrected automatically; red flags the small subset that requires human review. Engineers can navigate through those errors one by one, manually fix them, or use the AutoConnect feature to reconnect elements quickly. Changes can be validated, approved, or examined further before final sign-off.
Customization is another key piece. Firms can define clearance requirements&mdash;such as maintaining a 300 mm gap between services. Regional codes and company standards can be embedded without rewriting the system.
In short, the AI adjusts to the firm&rsquo;s workflow&mdash;not the other way around.

</div>
<h2 dir="ltr">Speed, Scale, and Early Momentum</h2>
The time savings are hard to ignore. Tasks that might take a full day manually&mdash;resolving dozens of clashes&mdash;can be completed in under an hour, including processing and review. Larger datasets with thousands of clashes naturally take longer, but the efficiency gap remains significant.
Beta testing began last year, with early traction in the Middle East &mdash; particularly in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia &mdash; where fast-paced, large-scale construction projects make MEP coordination efficiency critical. The region's project scale, compressed timelines, and high concentration of complex mixed-use and infrastructure developments create exactly the conditions where BAMROC's speed advantage compounds most.
Engineering consultancies and turnkey contractors are piloting the system.
For now, BAMROC supports Revit's RVT format and fits directly into existing Navisworks and ACC-based workflows, meaning teams don't need to replace their current tooling. IFC compatibility and expansion into other modelling ecosystems are on the roadmap, which would open the system to firms not working inside Autodesk's environment.
<h2 dir="ltr">A Shift in the Coordination Mindset</h2>
For years, coordination meetings have been a rite of passage in BIM workflows. Clash reports circulate. Teams negotiate for space. Adjustments trigger more adjustments.
BAMROC points to a different possibility. Coordination still matters &mdash; human expertise, project-specific knowledge, and design intent cannot be automated away. But much of the mechanical repositioning could happen quietly, automatically, and predictably in the background, long before a coordination meeting is ever scheduled.
That reframes the conversation. Instead of asking, "Who's going to fix these clashes?" &mdash; teams may start asking, "Which of these actually require human judgment?"
If that shift takes hold, automated resolution could become as standard as detection once was.
And in a world of tighter margins, compressed timelines, and increasingly complex models, that evolution may reshape what efficient engineering design truly looks like.
<h2 dir="ltr">Looking Beyond Clash Resolution</h2>
Automated MEP clash resolution is just the beginning. Vavetek AI's broader mission is to build a suite of AI copilots that enable value engineering at scale &mdash; giving building developers and turnkey contractors the ability to audit and optimise engineering designs at speed, reduce construction costs through smarter design decisions, and deliver projects on schedule.
The 3D geometric reasoning and spatial optimisation engine that powers BAMROC is not a single-purpose tool. It forms the foundation of Vavetek AI's wider technology platform, and the same capability that resolves MEP clashes can be applied across other design domains where spatial reasoning matters.&nbsp;
The first application beyond MEP coordination is structural design: OptiFound, Vavetek AI's AI copilot for the audit and optimisation of structural foundation designs, is currently in a proof-of-concept stage. Future development will extend the platform to air-conditioning system design and fa&ccedil;ade engineering &mdash; areas where iterative, AI-driven optimisation can drive significant savings in material costs and construction time.
The underlying idea is simple: small inefficiencies compound across projects, and manual checking and habitual overdesign create hidden waste at every stage. If AI copilots can handle 80&ndash;85% of repetitive engineering review work, human expertise can focus on the decisions that genuinely require judgment and experience.&nbsp;

Vavetek AI's BAMROC tackles one of AEC's most persistent bottlenecks: not finding clashes but resolving them. While tools like Revizto and Solibri handle detection well, the fix still falls on BIM coordinators working manually through conflicts one by one. BAMROC plugs into existing Revit and Navisworks workflows and uses rule-based AI to automatically resolve MEP and structural clashes at scale—cutting work that might take a full day down to under an hour.

ADU Pilot is an AI-powered property feasibility and planning platform built to help homeowners, architects, contractors, real estate professionals, and ADU companies evaluate whether a property can support an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and what it may take to move a project forward. Our mission is to simplify one of the most confusing early stages of the ADU process: understanding local zoning rules, site constraints, permitting risks, timeline considerations, and preliminary project feasibility before significant time and money are spent.

Building an ADU in California can be highly attractive, but the path from idea to approved project is rarely straightforward. Property owners often start with basic questions such as: Can I build an ADU on my lot? What are the setback requirements? How do easements affect buildability? What will the project likely cost? How long will permitting take? The challenge is that the answers are rarely universal. ADU rules vary by jurisdiction, lot conditions, overlays, topography, access, and existing site constraints. In many cases, homeowners and small builders spend hours or days collecting fragmented information from city websites, municipal codes, planning counters, GIS portals, and consultant conversations just to form an initial opinion.

ADU Pilot was created to make that process faster, clearer, and more actionable. Instead of forcing users to manually research zoning rules, interpret code updates, compare jurisdiction requirements, and piece together feasibility assumptions on their own, our platform organizes relevant property and regulatory information into a more structured decision-making workflow. We help users move from uncertainty to an informed next step.

At the core of ADU Pilot is the belief that early-stage feasibility should be more accessible, more consistent, and more machine-readable. Our platform is designed to analyze property-specific and jurisdiction-specific factors that may affect ADU potential, then present the findings in a way that is easier for users to understand and apply. Depending on the use case, this can include zoning context, lot configuration considerations, setback issues, site constraints, jurisdictional rules, general project risks, and preliminary guidance on what to review next. The goal is not to replace licensed architects, engineers, surveyors, or legal professionals. Instead, ADU Pilot helps users reduce ambiguity earlier in the process so they can approach design, permitting, and consultant coordination with better information.

We serve multiple types of users across the ADU ecosystem. For homeowners, ADU Pilot helps answer the first major question: whether a property is worth pursuing for an ADU project and what the likely constraints may be. For architects, designers, and contractors, the platform can support client intake, pre-design screening, and faster turnaround on early feasibility conversations. For ADU-focused businesses, real estate teams, and operators evaluating multiple addresses, ADU Pilot can help create a more repeatable and scalable research process. This is particularly valuable in markets like California, where local code interpretation and jurisdiction differences play a major role in project viability.

Our work is especially focused on California, where ADU demand continues to grow and state legislation has created new opportunities while also introducing complexity in implementation. We pay close attention to evolving ADU laws, local ordinance differences, building code changes, and practical permitting considerations that affect real projects. By translating this complexity into more usable outputs, ADU Pilot aims to support better planning and more confident decisions.

In addition to feasibility analysis, ADU Pilot is building a broader knowledge layer around ADU regulations, jurisdiction-specific guidance, and property evaluation workflows. We believe the future of this space will depend not only on better software, but also on clearer information architecture: structured content that helps both people and systems understand what is allowed, what is risky, and what deserves closer review.

ADU Pilot stands at the intersection of AI, housing, property intelligence, and the built environment. We are building tools for a real-world workflow where accuracy, clarity, and jurisdiction-specific understanding matter. Whether a user is exploring a backyard ADU for the first time or evaluating multiple properties at scale, ADU Pilot is designed to make the earliest phase of ADU planning more efficient, more transparent, and more decision-ready.

The Practical Starting Point for AEC AI Strategy

For most AEC firms, the biggest obstacle to adopting AI isn’t the technology itself it’s the “data mess.” Project files, CAD standards, and Revit models are often scattered across disconnected servers, legacy systems, and inconsistent folder structures. Before any meaningful AI strategy can take shape, firms need to first understand how their teams actually interact with this fragmented information environment on a day to day basis.

Our application is a lightweight Windows-based tool that sits directly on individual workstations. It addresses one of the most common and overlooked inefficiencies in AEC workflows: the “file hunt.” Instead of navigating through multiple layers of folders or relying on tribal knowledge, an engineer can simply type a request such as, “Open the latest Highway 99 drainage standards,” and the application locates and launches the correct file instantly.

This may seem like a small improvement, but when multiplied across teams and projects, it represents a meaningful shift in how work gets done.

How This Builds Your AI Strategy

While your team is saving 15–20 minutes of billable time each day, the system is simultaneously performing two critical background functions that lay the foundation for a scalable AI strategy.

Mapping Your Corporate Memory
The tool continuously identifies where valuable resources actually live across your firm’s network. Over time, it transforms what is typically a “dark” and unstructured file system into a searchable, navigable map of your organization’s expertise. Instead of relying on individuals to know where things are, the system begins to surface that knowledge automatically.

Recording Workflow DNA
At the same time, the application captures anonymized data on how your team works. You gain visibility into which standards, templates, and files are used most frequently, and where inefficiencies or bottlenecks exist. This “user interaction layer” becomes incredibly valuable. It provides a data-driven understanding of your workflows, which is essential when deciding where automation or AI can have the most impact.

In other words, before you automate, you need to understand and this is how that understanding is built.

Zero-Risk, Local Execution

One of the biggest barriers to AI adoption in AEC is concern around data security and compliance. This approach removes that barrier.

Because the AI operates entirely on the user’s local machine, no project data leaves your environment. It respects your existing permissions, folder structures, and security protocols. There is no need for a major IT overhaul, cloud migration, or lengthy security review process.

Firms can begin implementing and seeing value almost immediately, without introducing additional risk.

Shape the Future by Fixing Today

What makes this approach powerful is that it does not require a dramatic shift in how teams work. It simply improves what they are already doing.

By solving a very real, everyday problem finding the right file you are also laying the groundwork for something much bigger. You are building the data layer, visibility, and insight needed to support future AI initiatives.

In many ways, this is the most practical entry point into AI for AEC firms. Start by reducing friction today, and in doing so, quietly collect the intelligence needed to shape tomorrow’s strategy.

This is the starting point of your AI strategy roadmap, start shaping your firm's future today.

This platform integrates natural language into existing AEC workflows, boosting efficiency while capturing usage patterns. By identifying how your company accesses project resources, you build the essential data foundation for long-term AI adoption.

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.                                                   

The Problem We're Solving

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. These are exactly the kinds of workflows that should be automated, but until now, haven't been - at least not without custom 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.

Our Flagship Product: Autotag by Bimrock AI

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.

Key capabilities include:

- Profile-Based Automation — 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.

- Automatic Overlap Avoidance — Intelligent algorithms analyze element positions and adjust tag placement to eliminate overlapping labels. No manual cleanup required after placement.

- Batch View Processing — 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 — while you focus on higher-value design work.

- Full MEP Discipline Coverage — Supports Mechanical (ducts, air terminals, equipment), Electrical (panels, fixtures, devices, cable trays), and Plumbing (pipes, fixtures, equipment), plus general architectural elements.
- Linked Model and Workshared Support — Designed for real-world BIM coordination workflows, Autotag works seamlessly with Revit linked models and workshared projects.

- Custom Family Support — Tag any parameter on any element, including custom Revit families. Not limited to out-of-the-box content.

- Post-Placement Editing Tools — Bulk-edit tags, align leader line elbows, and reorganize annotations after placement for precise control over final output.

- Team Profile Sharing — Share and distribute annotation profiles across team members to maintain consistent documentation standards firm-wide.

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.

Autotag supports Revit 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, runs on Windows 10 and later, and includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.

Our Platform Vision: Automated MEP Design

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:

1. Documentation Automation: Autotag by Bimrock AI (live in Revit today). Automates annotation, tagging, and documentation workflows that consume hours of manual effort on every project.

2. Sketch-to-BIM: Converting early-stage design sketches and schematics into fully modeled BIM elements, accelerating the transition from conceptual design to detailed engineering.

3. Rapid Design: 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.

4. Coordination: Automated clash detection analysis, spatial coordination, and cross-discipline alignment tools that reduce RFIs and rework during construction.

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.

Since 1992, every Landover home has stood as a timeless reflection of the people who live within its walls—unmatched in quality, originality, and purpose. At Landover Homes, we don’t just build dream homes; we bring to life something far more meaningful: homes that reflect your identity, your values, and your way of living. Homes that are one-of-a-kind, remarkable in design, and rich with character—just like you.

Over three decades of experience have taught us that the most extraordinary homes aren’t born from blueprints alone. They’re born from vision, collaboration, and a builder who truly listens. We’ve had the privilege of working with families across Alberta to craft personalized homes that don’t just check boxes—they tell stories. These stories are embedded in every beam, every corner, every carefully considered detail.

We proudly serve the unique, character-filled communities of Edmonton, Strathcona County, Sturgeon County, Beaumont, Ardrossan, Gibbons, Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan, and Leduc County. These communities are where tradition meets progress, where natural beauty meets timeless architecture, and where families choose to root their legacies. We are honored to contribute to these landscapes, one custom home at a time.

What sets Landover Homes apart isn’t simply the high standards we maintain—it’s the philosophy we live by. We believe in building with purpose and passion. We believe in deeply personalized service. From day one, you’re never just a number or a file. You’re a partner. You’re family. That’s why each project receives the undivided attention of our experienced team, including our founder and president, Kerry Van Camp, who remains closely involved in every home we build.

Our process is guided by intention and fueled by collaboration. We begin with thoughtful conversations to understand your lifestyle, your must-haves, your wish list, and the little things that bring you joy. From there, we move into design with creativity and clarity, making sure that every element—whether seen or unseen—supports your vision. Whether you’re dreaming of a rustic estate with sweeping views or a modern home with minimalist elegance, we work hand-in-hand with you to bring your dream to life in a way that feels effortless and deeply rewarding.

But we don’t stop at aesthetics. We care about how your home lives and breathes. We ask questions that other builders might not—about how you move through your day, how you gather, how you rest, and how your family will grow. Because every home we build is designed to enhance daily life, support meaningful connection, and grow with you for decades to come.

The result is more than just a beautiful house—it’s a legacy. One built on a foundation of quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and sincere partnership.

We understand that building a custom home is one of life’s biggest investments—not just financially, but emotionally. That’s why we are committed to delivering not only excellence in construction, but peace of mind through the entire journey. Our team manages the process with transparency, accountability, and care. We’re here to guide you, to support you, and to ensure that the end result is nothing short of exceptional.

While many builders can talk about "dream homes," we challenge our clients to dream even bigger. Imagine a home that fits you perfectly, down to the smallest detail. A home that reflects your passions, your lifestyle, and your legacy. That’s the Landover difference.

Because we’re not just building homes. We’re crafting sanctuaries. We’re building meaning, connection, and belonging. We’re building the backdrop to your most cherished moments and your family’s future. At Landover Homes, we build with heart, with integrity, and with an unwavering commitment to making your vision real.

Your story deserves a home that honors it. Let’s build it—together.

The Context
Despite decades of investment in BIM, architectural documentation remains heavily manual. Teams continue to spend significant time on repetitive production tasks, manual QA/QC, and enforcing standards across drawings, views, and schedules.
At scale, this creates inefficiency, late-stage rework, and coordination risk, while contributing to burnout across documentation teams. Existing automation is often fragmented or difficult to apply consistently within live project models, limiting its effectiveness in everyday production work.
SketchPro is being actively deployed at top architecture firms to address this gap by embedding AI directly into architectural documentation workflows.
The Question
How can AI support architectural documentation&ndash; QA/QC, standards alignment, and repetitive production work&ndash; while keeping architects in control, preserving authorship, and respecting firm-specific standards and workflows?
The Approach
SketchPro is an AI documentation copilot embedded directly within Revit, designed to operate on live project models, views, schedules, and sheets. The system is developed around three core principles:
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
No workflow disruption Al actions occur inside the same Revit environment already used by project teams for documentation. No exporting, syncing, or parallel tools required.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Architect-in-the-loop control All actions are previewed, reviewable, and reversible, ensuring professional judgment remains central to decision-making.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Firm-specific intelligence Rather than applying generic rules, the system adapts to project standards, naming conventions, and documentation logic defined by each practice with an &ldquo;AI Knowledge Base&rdquo; set up by admins from each firm.
</li>
</ul>
The Collaboration Model
SketchPro is being deployed in collaboration with architecture firms working across a range of scales, typologies, and geographic locations, including educational, multifamily, and commercial projects. Ongoing collaboration ensures the platform addresses real documentation pain points such as QA/QC consistency, annotation cleanup, and standards alignment within live projects.
The Results
Across partner firms, teams report:
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Standardized preferences across projects with AI
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
30% reduction in documentation time across major tasks like sheet creation, dimensioning, schedules, and QA/QC
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
20% more capacity to do more projects with their current team
</li>
</ul>
AI is experienced as a support system rather than a replacement. Junior staff report increased confidence and productivity, while senior staff retain full control over technical decisions.
Key Takeaways
Successful AI adoption in architecture depends less on automation alone and more on customization, transparency, and trust in the technology.
By embedding AI directly into documentation workflows and aligning it with the realities of architectural practice, SketchPro illustrates how AI can strengthen existing processes rather than disrupt them, supporting efficiency, quality, and professional judgment.

<h1 data-start="260" data-end="340">Ideate StyleManager for Revit: Clean, Standardize, and Optimize BIM Styles</h1>
<h2 data-start="347" data-end="390">Why Revit Styles Become a Hidden Problem</h2>
Managing styles in Autodesk Revit &mdash; including object styles, line patterns, materials, text types, and view templates &mdash; is one of those tasks that quietly affects every project. When unmanaged, styles accumulate from imported content, linked models, and copied elements, leading to bloated files, inconsistent graphics, and coordination headaches.
Over time, even well-structured projects can drift away from office standards without teams realizing it.
<h2 data-start="853" data-end="885">What Ideate StyleManager Does</h2>
Ideate StyleManager is a Revit plugin built to give BIM managers and architects greater control over project styles. Instead of manually hunting through settings or risking accidental deletions, users can analyze, merge, rename, and remove unwanted styles safely.
The tool makes it easier to clean up project files and enforce consistent standards across teams.
<h2 data-start="1256" data-end="1300">Safe Cleanup with Built-In Style Analysis</h2>
One of the biggest risks in Revit is deleting a style that is still in use. That action can trigger unexpected graphic changes throughout the model.
Ideate StyleManager addresses this with detailed usage analysis. Before merging or deleting a style, users can see exactly where it is applied. This visibility allows teams to consolidate duplicate styles, remove clutter, and align projects with office templates without compromising model integrity.
<h2 data-start="1759" data-end="1815">Improving Model Performance and Documentation Quality</h2>
Style clutter does more than create visual inconsistencies. It can also impact file size and model performance.
By reducing redundant definitions and maintaining consistent graphics, teams improve drawing clarity, coordination workflows, and overall BIM health. For firms working across multiple offices, maintaining a unified visual language becomes much easier.
<h2 data-start="2188" data-end="2225">Supporting Long-Term BIM Standards</h2>
Ideate StyleManager is not just a cleanup tool. It supports long-term BIM governance.
As projects grow in complexity and content libraries expand, style management becomes increasingly important. The ability to proactively monitor and standardize styles helps firms protect documentation quality from early design through construction documentation.
For teams focused on Revit efficiency and model reliability, Ideate StyleManager offers a practical solution for maintaining cleaner, healthier BIM environments.

Reer is building the leading CAD agent for core Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) workflows. Reer automates repetitive, uncreative tasks directly inside the CAD platforms professionals already use, freeing them to spend their time on higher-value creative and technical decisions. Instead of replacing existing software, Reer enhances it. Our agentic workspace links directly to local CAD files (without requiring any uploads to external servers) ensuring that teams maintain full control and data privacy while unlocking powerful AI capabilities that streamline their daily work.
Our journey begins with the &ldquo;killer AEC workflow&rdquo;: Rhino to Revit. This workflow is the backbone of design-to-documentation pipelines across the industry, yet it remains fragmented and error-prone. Translating geometry, preserving metadata, and maintaining parametric relationships across the two platforms are notoriously difficult. Reer&rsquo;s domain-specific CAD agent bridges these gaps seamlessly. It understands the context of both tools, automates the handoff between them, and helps architects and engineers generate design variations, update documentation, and validate models in real time&mdash;all without leaving their familiar environments.
By embedding AI directly within CAD environments, Reer empowers professionals to deliver projects up to three times faster. More importantly, it preserves the integrity and precision that the AEC industry demands. Unlike generic AI tools, our system is designed specifically for the spatial, geometric, and regulatory constraints of design practice. Reer&rsquo;s agents learn from design intent, not just text prompts, and operate through a shared design context that connects multiple platforms. This enables truly bespoke, cross-platform workflows&mdash;where automation assists rather than overrides, and where collaboration becomes frictionless across disciplines.
Looking ahead, Reer is building the foundation for a new category: AI-Aided Design (AAD). We envision a future where CAD tools are intelligent collaborators&mdash;able to suggest, simulate, and synchronize in ways that make design both faster and more expressive. Starting with Rhino and Revit, we&rsquo;re expanding to other major platforms like SketchUp, Fusion 360, and more. Each integration brings us closer to a unified, agentic workspace that enhances the creative potential of every designer and engineer.
We believe that in the era of AI, the real revolution isn&rsquo;t about replacing the tools professionals rely on, it&rsquo;s about redefining how we use them. New AI tools will continue to emerge, but our mission is not to add another layer of complexity to the already sophisticated software stacks of AEC teams. Instead, we build AI that enhances productivity, amplifies creativity, and protects the designer&rsquo;s role at the center of the process.

Bergman, Walls & Associates (BWA), a prominent architecture firm based in Las Vegas, engaged BLT SMRT to modernize their approach to design technology through the implementation of Maestro. Although Revit was well-established within their workflow, BWA had no internal automations or scripting infrastructure. This lack of tools made it difficult to share standards, reduce repetitive tasks, or respond quickly to recurring coordination issues. The firm needed a solution that would allow them to build and scale their own tools without relying on full-time software developers.

Maestro offered an accessible path forward. With built-in AI-assisted code generation, BWA’s BIM Manager could quickly produce customized scripts to tackle internal challenges. These tools, once tested and refined, were deployed to the full team using Maestro’s deployment platform. To streamline access and adoption, the team also used Maestro’s Ribbon Manager to build a custom Revit ribbon, embedding tools, resources, and documentation into the daily workflow.

The result was a cultural and technical shift. BWA’s staff now view repetitive tasks as automation opportunities rather than unavoidable effort. Maestro has empowered BWA to evolve from a static software environment to one that is flexible, responsive, and increasingly self-sufficient across its design teams with minimal effort from the team.

Revit is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) software developed by Autodesk, widely used across architecture, engineering, and construction disciplines. It allows users to design, model, and document buildings and infrastructure in a single, coordinated environment. In Revit, every element in a project is part of an interconnected database. Changes made to one view&mdash;such as a plan, elevation, or section&mdash;are automatically reflected in all other views of the model. This parametric relationship ensures consistency and reduces the risk of errors in documentation.
<h2 data-start="760" data-end="782">Core Capabilities</h2>
Revit supports both 2D drafting and 3D modeling, but its primary strength lies in its data-rich modeling environment. Each object in Revit is not just geometry; it carries information about its physical properties, materials, and relationships to other components. Revit includes tools for architectural design, structural engineering, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) systems, enabling multiple disciplines to work within the same model.
The software also allows for the creation of schedules, material takeoffs, and detailed construction documentation directly from the model. Because Revit stores all information in one file, edits are reflected across all drawings, schedules, and sheets automatically. This feature is particularly valuable for coordinating complex projects where multiple people and teams are contributing to the design.
<h2 data-start="1643" data-end="1674">Collaboration and Workflow</h2>
Revit is designed to support collaboration in various forms. Worksharing enables multiple team members to work on a single project file simultaneously, with a central model managing updates. For distributed teams, Revit can integrate with cloud-based platforms like Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro, allowing real-time collaboration across locations.
Revit also facilitates interoperability with other software used in the AEC industry. It supports import and export in multiple formats, including DWG, IFC, and DGN, and can connect with analysis tools for energy performance, structural analysis, and daylight simulations. Its API (Application Programming Interface) allows for customization and automation through tools like Dynamo, enabling advanced workflows and repetitive task automation.
<h2 data-start="2473" data-end="2500">Practical Applications</h2>
In architecture, Revit is used for conceptual design, detailed design development, and construction documentation. Engineers use Revit for structural analysis and to coordinate MEP systems with architectural and structural elements. Contractors and project managers use Revit models for quantity takeoffs, construction sequencing, and clash detection, ensuring fewer conflicts on site.
Revit is also applied in facility management, as the detailed model can serve as a digital twin of the completed building, providing valuable data for operations and maintenance.
<h2 data-start="3073" data-end="3085">Summary</h2>
Revit provides a unified environment where design, documentation, and analysis coexist in one coordinated model. Its parametric nature, data integration, and multi-disciplinary capabilities have made it a standard in the AEC industry. Whether used for designing a single-family home or a large-scale infrastructure project, Revit enables teams to work more precisely, maintain consistency across outputs, and manage complex building information in an organized way.

Gindi Studio: Capacity Increase

Qbiq is reshaping how commercial spaces are planned and visualized by leveraging advanced artificial intelligence. This innovative platform enables landlords, brokers, architects, and developers to generate test fits, floor plans, 3D walkthroughs, and material estimates in just minutes. By automating what typically takes weeks, Qbiq significantly reduces time to lease and design while increasing accuracy and scalability. Designed to work with common file formats like PDFs, CAD, and DWG, Qbiq allows users to upload floor plans, set programming requirements, and instantly receive multiple layout options. Each layout comes with full documentation&mdash;editable CAD files, BIM-ready Revit models, and rendered 3D tours&mdash;making the platform a powerful tool from concept to delivery. One of Qbiq&rsquo;s biggest advantages is its ability to support layout customization based on user-defined rules, including department sizes, adjacency preferences, and branding standards. The AI also provides quantity takeoffs, such as furniture counts and material data, helping teams better understand cost implications from the start. By streamlining both visualization and documentation, Qbiq empowers real estate professionals to move from plan to action faster and with greater confidence. The company has already made a global impact. With over 650 million square feet of AI-generated designs and clients in more than 60 countries, Qbiq has proven its value across markets. Real estate firms using Qbiq report 40% faster leasing cycles and significantly higher efficiency. For example, Colliers Japan reduced its turnaround time for test fits to under 24 hours, dramatically improving client service and deal velocity. Qbiq integrates seamlessly into existing workflows and exports fully editable plans, enabling architects and designers to build on AI-generated layouts rather than start from scratch. It also features enterprise tools like admin dashboards, user management, and custom planning engines tailored to specific corporate or project requirements. Backed by top-tier investors including Insight Partners and JLL Spark, Qbiq recently closed a $16 million Series A funding round, following a $10 million seed round in 2023. The platform is rapidly gaining traction among leading architecture firms, design studios, and property management companies looking to scale operations, improve client engagement, and accelerate space planning. Qbiq&rsquo;s combination of AI automation, customizable design logic, and real-time visualization offers a transformative approach to commercial space planning. Whether used for office fit-outs, coworking layouts, or landlord test fits, the platform delivers fast, data-driven results that align with real-world needs. Its ability to combine speed, accuracy, and design flexibility makes it a standout solution for the modern built environment. As the architecture and real estate industries continue to embrace digital transformation, Qbiq is positioned as a leader in AI-powered design technology. By reducing friction in the planning process and enabling better decision-making, it is helping reshape how commercial spaces are imagined and delivered.
