<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;">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>

Pirros is the AI project hub for architects and engineers. Our mission is simple: make managing projects easier for firms. We learned that we can reduce the burden of producing hundreds of details per project by giving designers instant access to everything their firm has developed in the past. Rather than spending hours digging through cluttered folders on a server or rebuilding details that already exist somewhere in the archive, Pirros centralizes every detail a firm has produced and makes them accessible with a simple search.

Pirros was started by two structural engineers turned entrepreneurs. Ari and Peter spent time at a handful of different design firms and kept experiencing the same problems when it came to detail management and retrieval. They watched experienced designers waste hours hunting for content the firm had already paid to produce, and they watched institutional knowledge walk out the door every time someone left. The technology industry has overlooked the AE design space and the strategic importance of details to a firm's success. Pirros is on a mission to change that.

With unified data and context across projects and teams, plus built-in quality control, Pirros reduces documentation production time and downstream RFI risks so teams can focus on craftsmanship rather than operations. The platform grows more valuable the longer a firm uses it. Every new project feeds the system. Every search, every approval, every reuse makes the next decision faster and more informed. Standards stop being a static PDF that nobody reads and start being a living library teams actually rely on. Mistakes caught in one office benefit every other office, and new hires ramp up faster because the firm's best work is visible from day one.

The four pillars of Pirros:

1. No upfront work. Upload and instantly search across projects without the upfront effort of manual tagging or naming conventions. Powered by a direct ACC integration, firms get tens of thousands of details and families onto Pirros within 24 hours. There is no months-long curation effort before the platform starts producing value.

2. Search by composition, not tag. Find details and families based on what the element actually is, not what its tags say. Powered by a proprietary blend of AI, computer vision, and OCR, Pirros indexes content by geometry, annotations, parameters, and visual composition. A designer searching for "curtain wall head" finds the right detail regardless of how it was named.

3. Share universally. Share Revit details and families as universal PDFs with colleagues and partners outside of Revit, accelerating collaboration, content approvals, and new hire onboarding. The platform extends beyond the BIM team to consultants, contractors, and anyone else who needs to review or comment on a detail.

4. Built-in QA workflows. Review and approve standard content that is automatically surfaced based on analytics across projects. Approval workflows are built into the platform instead of relying on committee reviews and email chains. Standards evolve where the work happens.

Pirros is backed by Y Combinator, SOC 2 certified, and trusted by leading architecture and engineering firms across North America, Australia, and the UK.

Company Overview

Flying Buttress is a specialized managed services provider serving architecture, engineering, and construction firms that rely on complex workflows, high-performance computing, and collaboration across distributed teams. Founded in 2010, the firm was built to address a gap in the market: AED organizations often outgrow generic IT providers but struggle to find partners who understand the operational realities of design and delivery environments.

Rather than positioning itself as a generalist IT vendor, Flying Buttress operates as a vertical-focused technology partner. The company’s work centers on aligning infrastructure, security, and systems architecture with the business objectives of leadership teams. Clients typically engage Flying Buttress when they need more than technical support — they need strategic guidance that supports growth, resilience, and modernization.

Vertical Specialization

Flying Buttress focuses specifically on the AED (Architects/Engineers/Designers) sector, which brings unique demands: large file performance, collaboration platforms, hybrid work environments, data governance, compliance considerations, and uptime requirements tied directly to project delivery. The firm’s specialization enables it to design solutions around tools such as CAD/BIM platforms, rendering workloads, document management systems, and cross-office collaboration models rather than forcing AED firms into generic IT templates.

This vertical depth allows Flying Buttress to speak the language of firm principals, operations leaders, and executive teams — not just IT managers.

Services and Capabilities

Flying Buttress delivers a comprehensive range of services designed for professional services firms that depend on reliable technology:

Managed IT services and infrastructure oversight

Cybersecurity strategy, implementation, and risk reduction

Cloud and hybrid architecture design

Strategic technology advisory for leadership teams

Business continuity and disaster recovery planning

Compliance-aligned security practices

Systems optimization for design and collaboration workflows

The firm emphasizes proactive management and long-term alignment rather than reactive support. Client engagements are typically structured as a joint effort rather than transactional vendor relationships.

Strategic Orientation

A defining characteristic of Flying Buttress is its emphasis on executive-level thinking. The firm’s approach treats technology as a business enabler, not merely a utility. This includes:

Translating technical risks into business risk

Supporting leadership decision-making around growth, mergers, and operational scale

Helping firms modernize legacy environments without disrupting productivity

Prioritizing resilience, security posture, and operational maturity

This orientation makes Flying Buttress particularly relevant to firm owners, managing partners, and C-suite leaders who view technology as part of their competitive advantage.

Reputation and Client Relationships

Flying Buttress has built its reputation through long-term client relationships rather than high-volume churn. Clients tend to stay engaged because the firm demonstrates a clear understanding of their industry, their workflows, and their strategic pressures. The company’s growth has been driven primarily through reputation, referrals, and repeat engagements.

Leadership and Perspective

Flying Buttress’s leadership brings both technical experience and a broader intellectual perspective to the firm’s work. This informs Flying Buttress’s positioning not just as a technical provider, but as a thoughtful participant in conversations about the future of work, professional services, technology ethics, and digital transformation.

Market Position

Flying Buttress occupies a deliberate niche:
Not a mass-market MSP.
Not a commodity helpdesk provider.
But a focused, specialized technology partner for AED firms that need depth, not volume.

This positioning allows us to compete on expertise, clarity, and trust rather than price compression.

Flying Buttress is an AEC-focused MSP providing managed IT, cybersecurity, and executive-level technology strategy for firms that need their infrastructure to support real-world design and delivery demands

Vavetek AI is a SAAS startup, developing AI co-pilots to help building developers and turnkey contractors to audit and optimize the design of principal engineer at super fast speed to save cost of construction within deadlines.

Our first product, BAMROC, is a patent-protected AI-Copilot that automatically resolves and removes clashes in BIM. BAMROC has already attracted interest from many of the largest global engineering and construction firms.

BAMROC, is 11x faster than manual BIM methods for clash resolution and offer up to 500% ROI in direct manpower savings. It helps principal architects resolve clashes, optimize building height and remove space wastage, leading to major savings in construction costs.

Beyond speed, BAMROC is designed to help principal architects and engineers achieve better design outcomes. The AI does not simply “push elements out of the way”; it resolves clashes while considering building height, space usage, and routing efficiency. This leads to reduced space wastage, more efficient ceiling voids, and opportunities to optimize building height and construction costs without compromising core design intent. BAMROC becomes a true co-pilot: it suggests and executes clash-free, system-aware design changes, while the human expert remains in full control of approvals.

To support the full clash workflow, Vavetek AI offers two additional products:

BAMDOC is an advanced BIM plugin focused on seamless MEP clash detection. It delivers high-quality detection with automated report generation and an intuitive user experience. BAMDOC is built for BIM coordinators and engineers who want reliable, repeatable clash results with less manual setup and post-processing.

CRDR BIM is a streamlined Navisworks plugin that simplifies the creation of Clash Resolution Diagnosis Reports. It turns raw clash data into structured, easy-to-understand reports that clearly communicate which clashes matter, how they can be resolved, and what the impact is on design coordination. This is especially useful for project teams that need consistent documentation for clients, consultants, and contractors.

Together, BAMDOC (detect), BAMROC (resolve), and CRDR BIM (report) form an integrated AI-powered workflow that addresses the end-to-end lifecycle of BIM clashes, from detection to resolution to communication.

Vavetek AI is a global pioneer headquartered in Singapore, transforming the construction landscape through advanced AI technology.

We deliver AI-powered solutions that redefine building design from the ground up. Our reach spans continents, ensuring that wherever you are, you have access to cutting-edge tools designed audit building designs, optimize efficiency, enhance sustainability, and improve user comfort.

BAMROC is just the first step in this roadmap. Vavetek AI is now building on this foundation with a focused roadmap of three additional AI co-pilots. The company plans to capitalize on large global opportunities in value engineering to further save cost of construction across multiple disciplines:

AI Copilot for Global Structure Design Optimization and Audit
AI Copilot for Global Air Conditioning Design Optimization and Audit
AI Copilot for Global Façade Design Optimization and Audit

Our vision at Vavetek AI is to build the most trusted AI co-pilots for the built environment, auditing, optimizing, and automating workflows from design review and clash resolution to reporting and compliance, so projects are on-time, lean, and waste-free.

<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.

<p>The structural engineering practice focuses on designing safe, durable, and economical structures that perform efficiently throughout their intended lifespan. Using advanced methodologies and industry-leading software, the team produces optimised structural designs that support successful project execution.</p>
<p>A commitment to precision helps minimise construction issues, reduce material wastage, and improve coordination from concept through completion. Material optimisation is where structural engineering delivers its clearest financial return - reducing steel tonnage or concrete volume on a large frame moves the project budget in a way few other design decisions can.</p>
<h2>BIM and Structural BIM Modeling</h2>
<p>Paradigm's BIM capabilities enable project teams to achieve greater collaboration, improved visualisation, and enhanced coordination during every phase of design and construction. Advanced BIM workflows allow stakeholders to identify potential design conflicts before construction begins, reducing costly revisions and improving project planning.</p>
<p>Digital models also improve communication among engineers, architects, contractors, and clients, supporting smoother delivery and better decision-making across the project lifecycle.</p>
<h2>Detailing and Fabrication Support</h2>
<p>Expertise across steel structure design, structural detailing, steel detailing, rebar detailing, and precast detailing allows Paradigm to support a diverse range of structural systems and construction methodologies. Every model and drawing is developed with emphasis on constructability, fabrication accuracy, and compliance with standards of quality and accuracy.</p>
<p>That fabrication emphasis matters because detailing sits at the handover point between design and manufacture - a drawing that is analytically correct but not fabricable stops the job at the shop rather than on site.</p>
<h2>Sectors Served</h2>
<ul>
<li>Commercial buildings</li>
<li>Residential developments</li>
<li>Industrial facilities and manufacturing plants</li>
<li>Institutional buildings</li>
<li>Infrastructure projects</li>

<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>Page is a multidisciplinary design, architecture and engineering firm with 1,300+ staff and offices in the US and abroad. Its work consists largely of complex projects that benefit from integrated disciplines and that make a significant impact on the communities they serve.</p>
<p>The firm's positioning is captured in its own phrase - Think What's Possible - and its stated belief that design has the power to transform. Commitment to sustainability, social responsibility and innovation runs from reducing carbon emissions to fostering inclusive communities.</p>
<h2>Full-Service Design, Architecture and Engineering</h2>
<p>Page pairs the art and science of possibility with the practical question of how to make it happen. Experts across all disciplines work to find the best way forward and deliver solutions to complex projects. Because architecture and engineering sit under one roof, coordination that would otherwise cross company boundaries happens internally - which on technically demanding building types is where most programme risk is concentrated.</p>
<h2>Sectors and Project Types</h2>
<p>The firm's own framing of what design can achieve maps directly onto its core markets:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Workplace</strong> - inspiring environments people want to return to</li>
<li><strong>Education</strong> - learning environments that attract world-class students</li>
<li><strong>Healthcare</strong> - health centres designed to make care and lives better</li>
<li><strong>Science and research</strong> - research centres that speed innovation from lab to life</li>
<li><strong>Civic and government</strong> - a market the firm has served since its founding</li>
<li><strong>Sustainability-led design</strong> - greater sustainability from the inside out</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Power of Design</h2>
<p>Page holds that buildings matter more for what they do - the positive impact they make on individual lives - than for what they are. That distinction shapes how the firm approaches briefs: performance and human outcome ahead of formal expression.</p>
<h2>People</h2>
<p>The firm attributes its difference to its people, recruiting and hiring talent while making space for teams to celebrate individuality, bring new ideas into the process, and create work that improves lives.</p>
<h2>History</h2>
<p>In 1898, Charles Henry Page and his brother Louis Page formed Page Brothers, Architects, focusing on courthouses and public schools. Charles's son, Charles Henry Page Jr., joined following Louis's death in 1934.</p>
<p>A year later, Louis's son, Louis Charles Page Jr., partnered with his college roommate Louis Southerland to form the Austin-based firm Page and Southerland. Louis's brother George Page joined in 1939 and the name became Page Southerland Page. The firm shortened its name to Page in 2013.</p>
<h2>Acquisitions and Growth</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>2022 - EYP</strong> - Page acquired the architectural and planning firm EYP, merging the Albany-based company's national offices and design portfolio</li>
<li><strong>2023 - Davis Brody Bond</strong> - Page acquired the New York City architecture firm whose notable projects include the National September 11 Memorial &amp; Museum, the Portico Gallery at the Frick Collection, and the National Museum of African American History and Culture</li>
</ul>
<p>Those two acquisitions brought significant civic and cultural credentials into a practice already strong in healthcare, science and workplace - a deliberate broadening rather than simple scale-up.</p>
<h2>Global Presence</h2>
<p>As of 2024, Page operated 21 offices across the United States, Mexico and the United Arab Emirates.</p>
<h2>Who Page Works With</h2>
<ul>
<li>Health systems and academic medical centres</li>
<li>Universities, colleges and school districts</li>
<li>Federal, state and municipal government agencies</li>
<li>Corporate occupiers and developers</li>
<li>Research institutions and science and technology clients</li>
<li>Cultural institutions and museums</li>
</ul>

Page is a 1,300-person architecture and engineering firm designing healthcare, education, workplace, science and civic projects across 21 offices worldwide.

<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>At Outlook Designheed Consultants Pvt. Ltd., the team comprises experienced architects, engineers, and planners who understand both the broader vision and the finer technical details of every project. As the practice puts it, Designheed offers more than design services - it offers solutions.</p>
<p>Services span BIM execution, MEP system design, architectural and interior drawings, 3D visualisation, CAD drafting and project management consultancy. The firm has delivered 340+ successful projects, built a team of 150+ skilled professionals, and partnered with more than 90 clients across sectors, with an expanding presence in the United States and UAE alongside its Indian base.</p>
<h2>Part of the HLK Group</h2>
<p>Outlook Designheed is part of the HLK Group, established in 1952 by Sri Hari Lal Kukreja in Punjab, whose legacy began with pioneering government projects in the construction and infrastructure sector. That lineage gives the design consultancy an unusual asset - a parent group with decades of delivery experience on the construction side, which tends to keep documentation grounded in what actually gets built.</p>
<h2>BIM Advisory Services</h2>
<p>Designheed specialises in BIM advisory services that equip architects, engineers, and construction specialists to adopt and optimise Building Information Modeling processes across the project lifecycle. BIM is increasingly understood not merely as a tool but as a strategic technique for maximising efficiency, coordination, and risk management, and the advisory service is built to help firms move from conventional workflows to data-enhanced processes.</p>
<p>The BIM advisory offer includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>BIM implementation plan and roadmap strategy</li>
<li>Organisational and project-based BIM evaluations</li>
<li>BIM standardisation and template creation</li>
<li>Integration of BIM with project management systems</li>
<li>Revit standards implementation and upkeep through professional Revit consulting</li>
<li>BIM training courses for team members and stakeholders</li>
<li>Integrated support across facilities management, construction and design</li>
<li>Auditing and improvement of existing BIM modeling processes</li>
<li>Ongoing mentoring and team capability building in BIM</li>
</ul>
<p>The inclusion of auditing and mentoring alongside implementation is worth noting. Most BIM adoption failures are not technical - they happen because standards are written once and never enforced, so a service that revisits and audits them addresses the actual failure mode.</p>
<h2>Design and Engineering Services</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Architectural design and drawings</strong> - concept through construction documentation</li>
<li><strong>Interior design</strong> - detailing and specification</li>
<li><strong>MEP system design</strong> - mechanical, electrical and plumbing coordination</li>
<li><strong>Structural and civil engineering</strong> support</li>
<li><strong>3D visualisation</strong> - rendering and presentation material</li>
<li><strong>CAD drafting</strong> - from single-family home plans to large multi-unit commercial projects</li>
<li><strong>Project management consultancy</strong></li>
</ul>
<h2>Why Firms Choose Designheed</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Experienced CAD professionals</strong> - a team versed in everything from small single-family home plans to large multi-unit commercial projects</li>
<li><strong>Custom solutions</strong> - approaches tailored to new construction, remodelling or any other scope</li>
<li><strong>Reliable and on time</strong> - clients receive finished drafts on average 30% sooner than the guaranteed term, without compromising quality</li>
<li><strong>Design intent understood</strong> - beyond precise layouts, complex architectural projects require genuine engagement with the vision behind the design</li>
</ul>
<h2>Outsourced CAD and BIM Production</h2>
<p>Many firms outsource CAD drafting to specialists to save time, reduce overhead costs, and have projects handled by expert drafters. For practices facing variable workload, this converts a fixed staffing cost into a variable one - which is the underlying commercial case for outsourced production regardless of discipline.</p>
<h2>Who Designheed Works With</h2>
<ul>
<li>Architecture practices needing production or BIM capability</li>
<li>Engineering consultancies</li>
<li>Construction firms and contractors</li>
<li>Developers and project owners</li>
<li>Facilities management teams</li>
<li>Organisations implementing BIM standards for the first time</li>
</ul>

<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>

NonicaTab consolidates 38 Revit tools into one toolbar with an AI Connector for Claude. Free and PRO plans, Revit 2020-2027, 43,000+ users.

<h2>About NEDES</h2>
<p>NEDES is the Mid-Atlantic's trusted solar installer, serving Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Delaware and Washington DC. The company specialises in solar panel installation, solar battery systems and critter guards, handling everything from free solar estimates and site inspections through professional installation to ongoing support.</p>
<p>NEDES has been in the solar panel market for more than 25 years. Its installer team is fully licensed and NABCEP-certified where applicable, and is committed to leveraging net metering policies alongside available incentives including property tax exemptions and SREC opportunities.</p>
<h2>Services</h2>
<h3>Residential Solar Panel Installation</h3>
<p>NEDES helps homeowners cut bills and gain energy independence. The team analyses roof orientation, shading and energy consumption to design an optimised solar panel system. Permitting and grid interconnection are handled by NEDES, managing every detail for a hassle-free experience.</p>
<p>Those two items - permitting and interconnection - are where most residential solar projects actually stall, since both depend on third-party timelines rather than installation capacity.</p>
<h3>Battery and Equipment Installation</h3>
<p>Battery storage systems provide blackout protection and allow households to shift stored energy into peak-rate periods rather than exporting it.</p>
<h3>System Add-On Panels</h3>
<p>For clients who have outgrown an existing setup, NEDES expands current solar arrays with high-yield add-on panels and advanced dual-MPPT inverters, boosting a home's kilowatt output without voiding warranties. New photovoltaic hardware is integrated into the original array.</p>
<h3>EV Charger Installation</h3>
<p>NEDES supplies Level 2 EV charger installations delivering up to 48A (11.5kW) or rapid charging power. Electricians use dedicated 60-amp THHN wiring for hardwired stations, guaranteeing NEC-compliant charging.</p>
<h3>Critter Guards</h3>
<p>Mesh guarding around panel arrays prevents birds and rodents nesting beneath modules - a common cause of wiring damage and lost output that is far cheaper to prevent than to remediate.</p>
<h2>Why Clients Choose NEDES</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>$1,000 referral savings</strong> - when a satisfied NEDES customer refers a new client, that client receives $1,000 off their full solar installation cost after completion</li>
<li><strong>Align Solar Protection partnership</strong> - every NEDES system includes lifetime coverage on the entire solar setup through an exclusive insurance partnership</li>
<li><strong>Tesla Powerwall Certified Installer</strong> - factory-backed Powerwall batteries with blackout protection and daily energy savings</li>
<li><strong>Free site inspection and quote</strong>, plus free consultation sessions</li>
<li><strong>24/7 customer support</strong></li>
<li><strong>Off-grid solutions</strong> for properties without reliable grid access</li>
</ul>
<p>NEDES was named Virginia's top installer in 2025 and works with hardware partners including Tesla, Enphase and Pearl.</p>
<h2>Transparent Estimating</h2>
<p>NEDES provides all-inclusive solar estimates with no hidden fees. The team shows how available incentives, net metering and financing options - including $0-down leases and PPAs in some cases - reduce the effective cost and accelerate payback. Each free estimate provides a precise breakdown for the property, including projected savings over 25 years.</p>
<p>The 25-year projection matters because solar economics are driven by payback period rather than upfront cost, and that calculation shifts substantially with local incentive structures.</p>
<h2>Service Areas</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Maryland</strong> - including Silver Spring, Bethesda, Bel Air and Gaithersburg</li>
<li><strong>Virginia</strong> - including Richmond, Virginia Beach, Newport News, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Alexandria, Hampton, Norfolk, Arlington and Roanoke</li>
<li><strong>Pennsylvania</strong></li>
<li><strong>Delaware</strong></li>
<li><strong>Washington DC</strong></li>
<li><strong>Texas</strong> - including South Houston</li>
<li><strong>Georgia</strong> - including Columbus and Augusta</li>
<li><strong>North Carolina</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Regional offices are maintained in Virginia, Pennsylvania and Texas.</p>

<li>Project management support</li>
</ul>
<p>By leveraging BIM, clients achieve improved collaboration, streamlined workflows, and enhanced project outcomes with reduced risks and errors. The progression from 3D geometry to 4D sequencing and 5D cost is where BIM stops being a drawing tool and starts informing programme and budget decisions.</p>
<h2>Architectural Services</h2>
<p>The architectural team delivers creative, detailed, and client-focused solutions in design, drafting, and visualisation. From concept development to technical drawings, services cover residential, commercial, and industrial projects, ensuring designs are aesthetically appealing while remaining functional and practical.</p>
<h2>Millwork Services</h2>
<p>Milestone specialises in precision-driven millwork, bringing cabinetry, joinery, and custom woodwork projects to life. Working closely with manufacturers, contractors, and designers, the team ensures every detail is captured accurately, enabling smoother production and flawless execution.</p>
<p>Millwork drawings are unforgiving in this respect - the fabricator cuts directly from them, so an ambiguous dimension becomes scrapped material rather than a query.</p>
<h2>Structural Services</h2>
<p>Structural engineering services include modeling, detailing, and analysis, ensuring safe and reliable outcomes for construction projects. The focus is on efficient designs that meet safety standards while optimising material usage and construction time - from small-scale structures to large, complex projects.</p>

<h2>Why AEC Firms Work With nCircle Tech</h2>
<p>Businesses need intelligent, future-ready solutions to stay competitive. nCircle Tech delivers automation, AI-driven innovation, and workflow optimisation - helping AEC and manufacturing firms achieve faster project delivery, improved cost efficiency, and superior design accuracy.</p>
<p>By continuously pushing the boundaries of CAD/BIM automation, AI, and cloud technology, the company positions itself not merely as keeping up with industry trends but as helping define them. As businesses move towards smarter, more automated engineering processes, nCircle Tech serves as a partner in their digital transformation.</p>
<h2>Design Automation in Practice</h2>
<p>The commercial case for design automation rests on repetition. Where a firm produces the same category of drawing or model repeatedly - unit types, equipment layouts, fabrication details - a custom script converts hours of manual work into minutes, and the investment pays back across every subsequent project rather than only the first.</p>
<h2>Typical Engagements</h2>
<ul>
<li>Custom plugin development against an existing CAD or BIM platform</li>
<li>Point cloud to BIM conversion at volume</li>
<li>Cloud workflow implementation for distributed teams</li>

<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>
<li>Closing the digital chain from design to production</li>
<li>Design to production</li>
<li>Data-driven design</li>
<li>Design optimisation and rationalisation</li>
</ul>
<h2>Automation and Mass Customisation</h2>
<p>Design at scale. Morroni helps clients automate their design processes, realising true mass customisation, configurators, and new design workflows tailored to specific requirements using state-of-the-art generative tools.</p>
<ul>
<li>Design at scale</li>
<li>Design automation</li>
<li>Design processes</li>
<li>Reusable workflows</li>
<li>Batch processing</li>
</ul>
<h2>3D Printed Architecture</h2>
<p>Morroni has developed design and software solutions for 3D printing multifunctional architecture and interior applications from recycled materials, addressing some of the most critical challenges facing the construction industry today.</p>
<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>
<h2>Consulting and Workshops</h2>
<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>

</ul>
<p><em>NEVER NOT COMPUTING // shaping vertices, voxels &amp; attributes</em></p>
<h2>Research and Methodology</h2>
<p>Alongside client work, Morroni conducts research into novel design methodologies and parametric systems. The studio's academic background feeds this directly - computational design advances tend to emerge from research settings before reaching practice, and a studio active in both moves between them faster than one operating only commercially.</p>

<h2>About Modelo Tech Studio</h2>
<p>Modelo Tech Studio is a distinguished leader in architectural BIM modeling, dedicated to elevating the standards of modern design, construction, and project coordination. With deep expertise and a multidisciplinary team of BIM specialists, the studio supports projects across residential, commercial, industrial, healthcare, hospitality, and hydropower sectors.</p>
<p>Its ability to adapt to varying project complexities while maintaining accuracy and consistency has made it a preferred partner for architects, engineers, contractors, and owners.</p>
<h2>3D, 4D and 5D BIM</h2>
<p>At the core of the service is a commitment to delivering highly detailed and intelligent BIM models that enhance decision-making, improve constructability, and streamline execution.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>3D modeling</strong> - precise geometry and coordination across architectural, structural, and MEP components</li>
<li><strong>4D modeling</strong> - construction sequencing and scheduling data integrated to provide a clear visual timeline that enhances planning and minimises delays</li>
<li><strong>5D BIM</strong> - cost information incorporated to enable more reliable budgeting, accurate forecasting, and informed financial planning</li>
</ul>
<h2>Clash Detection and Coordination</h2>
<p>Modelo Tech Studio excels in clash detection and coordination, processes that significantly reduce rework and field conflicts. By identifying clashes early in the design stage, the team helps stakeholders avoid costly delays and ensures construction proceeds smoothly.</p>
<h2>Design Assist</h2>
<p>Design assist services support architects and engineers by improving documentation clarity, engineering coordination, and material management. This level of detail allows project teams to make well-informed decisions and maintain greater control over project budgets.</p>
<h2>Asset Data Integration</h2>
<p>For owners and facility managers, asset data integration brings long-term value. Essential facility information is embedded into BIM models, creating intelligent digital assets that support operations, maintenance, and lifecycle management long after construction is complete.</p>
<p>This is where the return on modeling investment extends well past handover - a model carrying accurate asset data becomes an operations tool rather than a design artefact.</p>
<h2>Laser Scanning and Scan-to-BIM</h2>
<p>A major strength differentiating Modelo Tech Studio is its proficiency in laser scanning and scan-to-BIM technology. Using highly accurate 3D laser scanners, the team captures existing site conditions and converts them into detailed, data-rich BIM models.</p>
<p>These models serve as the foundation for renovation, restoration, and complex retrofit projects, ensuring design teams work with reliable, real-world data. This minimises assumptions, eliminates guesswork, and significantly improves project accuracy from the outset - which matters most on retrofit work, where original drawings frequently do not match what was actually built.</p>
<h2>Sectors Served</h2>
<ul>
<li>Residential</li>
<li>Commercial</li>
<li>Industrial</li>
<li>Healthcare</li>
<li>Hospitality</li>
<li>Hydropower</li>
</ul>
<p>The hydropower capability is unusual for an architectural BIM practice and points to experience with heavy civil and infrastructure geometry alongside building work.</p>
<h2>Mission and Approach</h2>
<p>The studio's mission is rooted in delivering high-quality, tailored BIM/VDC solutions that drive smarter, faster, and more collaborative construction processes. It combines innovations in digital modeling with proven industry methodologies, grounded in transparency, precision, and an understanding of modern building requirements.</p>
<p>Through optimised workflows, enhanced coordination, and comprehensive BIM insights, the team helps reduce risk, accelerate timelines, and increase design confidence.</p>
<h2>Working With Modelo Tech Studio</h2>
<p>As the studio puts it, it does not simply create models - it creates digital environments that empower better decisions, improve performance, and support the future of the built environment. With a focus on innovation, client satisfaction, and quality, it continues to serve as a BIM partner for organisations across multiple sectors, supporting projects from concept to completion.</p>

<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>

<h2>About MicroMenders</h2>
<p>For more than 40 years, MicroMenders has helped architecture, engineering, construction, and professional services firms throughout the San Francisco Bay Area maximise productivity through proactive managed IT services, cybersecurity, cloud solutions, and strategic technology consulting.</p>
<p>As a trusted managed service provider (MSP), MicroMenders partners with businesses that depend on reliable, high-performing technology to keep projects moving, teams connected, and clients satisfied.</p>
<h2>The Problem for AEC Firms</h2>
<p>Architecture, engineering, and construction firms build great things, but too often IT disruptions slow progress, delay deadlines, and impact profitability. Whether it's sluggish CAD performance, network infrastructure, cybersecurity threats, or downtime that prevents teams from collaborating, technology challenges can quickly affect every phase of a project.</p>
<p>MicroMenders helps eliminate those obstacles by designing, managing, and optimising IT environments built specifically for organisations where performance and uptime matter.</p>
<h2>AEC Software and Workflow Expertise</h2>
<p>The company has extensive experience supporting the software and workflows AEC firms rely on every day:</p>
<ul>
<li>AutoCAD and Autodesk applications</li>
<li>Revit and BIM platforms</li>
<li>Bluebeam</li>
<li>Microsoft 365</li>
<li>Cloud collaboration tools</li>
<li>File-sharing environments</li>
</ul>
<p>From optimising workstations for demanding design applications to maintaining secure remote access for hybrid teams, MicroMenders ensures technology supports productivity instead of becoming a barrier to it. This specialisation matters more than it might appear: a generalist MSP sizing a workstation for office software will not account for the GPU and memory demands of a large federated Revit model.</p>
<h2>Proactive Rather Than Reactive</h2>
<p>Unlike reactive IT providers that simply respond after something breaks, MicroMenders takes a proactive approach to technology management. Through continuous monitoring, preventative maintenance, strategic planning, and routine system optimisation, potential issues are identified and resolved before they impact operations.</p>
<p>This approach minimises downtime, improves system performance, and gives employees the confidence to focus on designing, engineering, building, and serving clients rather than troubleshooting technology.</p>
<h2>Strategic Technology Partnership</h2>
<p>MicroMenders also serves as a long-term strategic technology partner. Rather than viewing IT as a series of isolated support tickets, the company works alongside business leaders to align technology investments with operational goals and future growth.</p>
<p>Areas of strategic support include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Infrastructure upgrade planning</li>
<li>Cloud migration</li>
<li>Cybersecurity strengthening</li>
<li>Supporting mergers and office expansions</li>
<li>Developing long-term IT roadmaps</li>
</ul>
<h2>Cybersecurity</h2>
<p>As cyber threats continue to evolve, businesses need more than antivirus software to protect their operations. MicroMenders helps clients strengthen their cybersecurity posture through:</p>
<ul>
<li>Layered security strategies</li>
<li>Endpoint protection</li>
<li>Proactive monitoring</li>
<li>Backup and disaster recovery planning</li>
<li>Employee security awareness training</li>
<li>Ongoing risk assessments</li>
</ul>
<p>The goal is to reduce business risk while protecting sensitive company information, intellectual property, and client data. For design practices, the intellectual property exposure is particularly acute - a firm's model and drawing archive is effectively its balance sheet.</p>
<h2>Service Standards</h2>
<p>Clients consistently choose MicroMenders because of its commitment to responsive, personalised service:</p>
<ul>
<li>Approximately 95% of support calls are answered live</li>
<li>Every reported issue is reviewed the same business day by an in-house technician</li>
<li>Most issues are resolved the same day</li>
<li>Technical support is never outsourced, giving clients direct access to experienced professionals who understand both their technology environment and their business</li>
</ul>
<h2>Engagement Model</h2>
<p>The company believes long-term partnerships should be earned, not locked into. Clients begin with a one-year engagement and then transition to flexible month-to-month service, reflecting MicroMenders' confidence in delivering consistent value through support and strategic guidance.</p>
<h2>Services</h2>
<ul>
<li>Fully managed IT services</li>
<li>Cybersecurity</li>
<li>Cloud infrastructure</li>
<li>Network management</li>
<li>IT consulting</li>
<li>Compliance support</li>
<li>Strategic technology planning</li>
</ul>
<p>For more than four decades, businesses across the Bay Area have trusted MicroMenders to keep their technology running efficiently so their teams can focus on what they do best.</p>
<p><em>You build great things. We manage the IT behind you.</em></p>

<h2>About McLine Studios</h2>
<p>McLine Studios provides drafting solutions to architects, builders, contractors, sub-contractors, and manufacturers around the world. The company describes itself as a one-stop shop for architectural drafting, rendering and modeling services, with over a decade of industry experience.</p>
<p>The business operates as McLine Studios Private Limited, an India-incorporated architectural drafting and BIM services company serving clients globally including the United States, with a US mailing address in Middletown, Delaware and its head office in Delhi.</p>
<h2>Scale</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>150+</strong> team members</li>
<li><strong>18,755+</strong> projects completed</li>
<li><strong>1,200+</strong> clients</li>
<li><strong>7+</strong> covered locations</li>
</ul>
<h2>Shop Drawings</h2>
<p>Shop drawings are the company's flagship service, covering an unusually wide range of trades:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Millwork and joinery</strong> - millwork shop drawings and drafting, commercial millwork, cabinet and kitchen shop drawings, Cabinet Vision drawings</li>
<li><strong>Tile, stone and flooring</strong> - layouts, material schedules and finish schedules dimensionally accurate enough for coordinated installation</li>

<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>

<h2>About MaRS BIM Solutions</h2>
<p>MaRS BIM Solutions is a leading BIM consulting and outsourcing company providing Building Information Modeling (BIM), Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), CAD services, and Digital Twin solutions for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry.</p>
<p>With more than 20 years of experience, MaRS BIM Solutions helps architects, engineers, contractors, developers, fabricators, and construction professionals improve project delivery through advanced digital workflows, accurate modeling, and data-driven collaboration.</p>
<h2>BIM Services</h2>
<ul>
<li>Architectural BIM Services</li>
<li>Structural BIM Services</li>
<li>MEP BIM Services</li>
<li>Scan to BIM</li>
<li>CAD to BIM Conversion</li>
<li>Revit Modeling</li>
<li>BIM Coordination and Clash Detection</li>
<li>Shop Drawings</li>
<li>Construction Documentation</li>
<li>Digital Twin Solutions</li>
</ul>
<h2>Approach and Methodology</h2>
<p>Using industry-leading platforms such as Autodesk Revit and proven BIM methodologies, the team creates accurate, coordinated, and information-rich models that support better decision-making throughout the design, construction, and facility management lifecycle.</p>
<p>The BIM-driven approach helps project teams identify design conflicts early, improve multidisciplinary coordination, reduce costly rework, and minimise project delays. By integrating intelligent 3D models with schedule and cost data, MaRS enables more efficient planning, resource management, and project execution.</p>
<p>The economics behind that are straightforward: a clash resolved in the model costs coordination time, while the same clash found after installation costs demolition, rework and schedule float.</p>
<h2>Discipline-Specific Support</h2>
<h3>Architectural BIM</h3>
<p>MaRS supports architects with detailed architectural models for design visualisation, documentation, and coordination.</p>
<h3>Structural BIM</h3>
<p>Structural BIM services improve engineering analysis, detailing, and fabrication workflows, producing models suited to downstream fabrication rather than design intent alone.</p>
<h3>MEP BIM</h3>
<p>MEP BIM expertise enhances coordination between mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems to reduce installation conflicts and improve construction efficiency. MEP is where most coordination failures surface, because three trades compete for the same ceiling void.</p>
<h2>Existing Conditions and Retrofit</h2>
<p>MaRS provides Scan to BIM and CAD to BIM conversion services, transforming laser scan data and legacy drawings into intelligent BIM models that support renovation, retrofit, and facility management projects.</p>
<p>This capability is increasingly central rather than peripheral: as more work shifts from new build toward adaptation of existing stock, an accurate model of what is actually there - rather than what the original drawings claimed - becomes the starting point for any intervention.</p>
<h2>Coordination and Clash Detection</h2>
<p>BIM coordination and clash detection services improve communication among stakeholders and help ensure smoother project delivery, resolving interdisciplinary conflicts before they reach the site.</p>
<h2>Sectors Served</h2>
<ul>
<li>Commercial and corporate</li>
<li>Residential</li>
<li>Healthcare</li>
<li>Hospitality</li>
<li>Industrial</li>
<li>Educational</li>
<li>Retail</li>
<li>Infrastructure</li>
</ul>
<p>The team works closely with each client to develop customised BIM strategies that align with project goals, standards, budgets, and timelines.</p>
<h2>Global Coverage</h2>
<p>MaRS BIM Solutions serves clients across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Australia, and India, and has built a reputation for delivering reliable, cost-effective, and high-quality BIM services.</p>
<p>Working across that many jurisdictions means fluency in several documentation conventions and code environments - a practical requirement for an outsourcing partner, since a model produced to the wrong regional standard needs reworking regardless of its technical quality.</p>
<h2>Why Clients Choose MaRS</h2>
<p>A commitment to innovation, accuracy, collaboration, and client success helps organisations improve project outcomes, streamline workflows, reduce risk, and maximise value across the entire building lifecycle.</p>
<p>Whether supporting new construction, renovation, or infrastructure projects, MaRS BIM Solutions delivers scalable BIM solutions designed to drive efficiency from concept through completion.</p>

MaRS BIM Solutions delivers architectural, structural and MEP BIM, Revit modeling, scan to BIM, clash detection and digital twins for AEC clients worldwide.

<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>

<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>

<h2>About Lagarsoft</h2>
<p>Lagarsoft is an AEC software development company headquartered in Montevideo, Uruguay, building production-grade software for the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Real Estate, and Property Tech industries.</p>
<p>Founded in 2019 by senior engineers out of CASE Inc. and WeWork, the team brings more than a decade of experience shipping software inside the built environment, combining backgrounds in architecture, real estate, data analysis, automation, software development, and agile management. Lagarsoft operates as a US company that is Uruguay-based and globally distributed, with senior engineers and architects working together across the Americas.</p>
<h2>Origins</h2>
<p>The company's origin gives it a distinctive perspective. Its founders first met at CASE, a global Building Information Modeling consultancy that pioneered the idea that "buildings = data," using technology to reshape how architecture and construction teams worked.</p>
<p>After CASE was acquired by WeWork, the team helped build software to manage WeWork's massive real estate portfolio. When WeWork closed its Uruguay office, the team chose to continue that vision independently, founding Lagarsoft to bring data-driven, agile software solutions to AEC firms worldwide.</p>
<h2>Autodesk Platform Services</h2>
<p>Lagarsoft is an Autodesk Platform Services (APS) Certified Partner. The company designs and ships custom Autodesk software on APS, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Viewer integrations</li>
<li>Model Derivative pipelines</li>
<li>Data Exchange flows</li>
<li>Design Automation jobs</li>
<li>AEC Data Model queries running in production</li>
</ul>
<h2>Custom Revit Development</h2>
<p>The company builds custom Revit plugins that extend the native toolset, automate repetitive tasks, and bridge Revit to the rest of the technology stack so that the model is not the end of the line. Output flows into web viewers, dashboards, generative design platforms, and field tooling.</p>
<p>That framing - the model is not the end of the line - identifies the gap most BIM implementations leave open. A completed model represents substantial invested effort, and if it terminates at handover rather than feeding downstream systems, most of that value stays locked up.</p>
<h2>Broader AEC Software Development</h2>
<p>Beyond the Autodesk ecosystem, the same engineering bench handles broader custom AEC software development, from systems coordination and clash detection tooling to portfolio platforms and investor dashboards.</p>
<h2>Engineering Rigour</h2>
<p>Engineering rigour is central to Lagarsoft's positioning. The company emphasises production readiness: authentication, secrets handling, dependency hygiene, and audit trails as a baseline, with CI, observability, and a clear rollback path in place before the first deploy.</p>
<p>The team favours reliable, well-understood infrastructure such as databases, queues, and caches that hold up under real production load. This is a meaningful differentiator in a sector where a great deal of custom tooling is built by designers scripting rather than by software engineers, and consequently works on one machine but not across an organisation.</p>
<h2>Taking AI-Built Applications to Production</h2>
<p>Increasingly, Lagarsoft helps industrial, manufacturing, AEC, and logistics companies take AI-built applications to production, layering senior engineering discipline around modern AI tooling - addressing the now-common situation where a promising prototype cannot be trusted with real data or real users.</p>
<h2>How Engagements Work</h2>
<h3>Build Audit</h3>
<p>Engagements typically begin with a Build Audit: a focused working session with senior engineers followed by a concise one-page memo delivered within forty-eight hours.</p>
<h3>Embedded Pod</h3>
<p>From there, work continues as an Embedded Pod - senior engineers operating on a sprint cadence with scoped work and transparent management, adjusted as it unfolds and shaped by what is actually shipping.</p>
<h3>Consulting</h3>
<p>The company also offers consulting, where it reads the codebase, reviews the systems, and identifies where existing systems are fragile - mapping current processes and technologies against what production-grade looks like for the size and risk of the business.</p>
<h2>Core Competencies</h2>
<ul>
<li>BIM and AECO</li>
<li>APIs and integrations</li>
<li>Revit development</li>
<li>Mobile and web development</li>
<li>Machine learning</li>
<li>Data analysis</li>
</ul>
<h2>Who Lagarsoft Works With</h2>
<p>By pairing deep domain knowledge of the built environment with senior software engineering, Lagarsoft helps teams across architecture, engineering, construction, MEP, and real estate get more done with software that performs reliably in real-world production conditions.</p>

<p>For over two decades, Kobi Karp Architecture and Interior Design has been providing unique, creative and innovative design solutions to renowned clients internationally and domestically in hospitality, retail and high-rise residential developments.</p>
<p>Based in Miami, Florida, the firm describes itself as a team of passionate innovators and creative thinkers who believe in changing the world for better. It is a globally recognised sustainable design firm delivering site planning, architecture and design solutions across Florida and beyond. The practice holds Florida licence number AA 0003023.</p>
<h2>Services</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Architecture</strong> - from single-family residences to high-rise towers</li>
<li><strong>Interior design</strong> - hospitality, residential and commercial interiors</li>
<li><strong>Master planning</strong> - site and district-scale planning</li>
<li><strong>Site planning</strong></li>
<li><strong>Historic preservation and adaptive reuse</strong></li>
</ul>
<h2>Sectors</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Hospitality</strong> - hotels and resorts</li>
<li><strong>Multi-family residential</strong> - including affordable housing</li>
<li><strong>Single-family residential</strong> - waterfront and luxury homes</li>
<li><strong>Mixed-use</strong> - combined residential, retail and commercial developments</li>
<li><strong>Commercial</strong> - office and retail</li>
<li><strong>Institutional</strong></li>
<li><strong>Historic</strong> - restoration and repositioning of protected buildings</li>
<li><strong>Interiors</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>The range from affordable housing to oceanfront luxury within one practice is notable. Those two markets operate under very different funding structures and cost constraints, and firms that work credibly in both tend to have unusually disciplined delivery processes.</p>
<h2>Hospitality Portfolio</h2>
<p>The firm's hotel and resort work includes some of Miami's best-known properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>1 Hotel South Beach</li>
<li>Four Seasons at The Surf Club</li>
<li>Moxy Miami South Beach</li>
<li>AC Hotel Midtown</li>
<li>The Plymouth South Beach</li>
<li>Lennox Miami Beach</li>
<li>Hotel Paso del Norte</li>
</ul>
<h2>Residential and Mixed-Use Portfolio</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Panorama Tower</strong> - one of the tallest towers in Miami</li>
<li><strong>Paramount Bay</strong></li>
<li><strong>Chateau Beach Residence</strong></li>
<li><strong>Palazzo del Sol</strong></li>
<li><strong>Selene Oceanfront Residence</strong></li>
<li><strong>Bel Aire on the Ocean</strong></li>
<li><strong>MEI</strong></li>
<li><strong>Flow Brickell</strong></li>
<li><strong>Wynwood 25</strong> and <strong>The Gateway at Wynwood</strong> - part of the Wynwood district's transformation</li>
<li><strong>Hibiscus Island</strong> and single-family waterfront residences including Dilido House, Sunset Residence, Tropical Bay, Gold Residence and Winter Residence</li>
</ul>
<h2>Historic and Cultural Work</h2>
<p>The practice has worked on historically significant buildings including the Lincoln Theater in Miami Beach. In a city with as much protected Art Deco and MiMo fabric as Miami, historic work demands fluency in preservation review processes alongside design capability - a combination that limits the field of firms able to take it on.</p>
<h2>Commercial and Institutional Projects</h2>
<p>Commercial work includes TD Bank and Datran Center, alongside institutional projects and Caribbean developments such as Hodge Bay and Spice Island.</p>
<h2>Sustainability</h2>
<p>Kobi Karp positions itself as a sustainable design firm. In coastal South Florida this carries specific weight: sea-level rise, storm resilience and hurricane loading are design determinants rather than optional considerations, and flood-resilient design has become a baseline requirement for waterfront development in the region.</p>
<h2>Who Kobi Karp Works With</h2>
<ul>
<li>Hotel developers, operators and hospitality brands</li>
<li>Residential and mixed-use developers</li>
<li>Affordable housing providers</li>
<li>Private clients commissioning single-family homes</li>
<li>Commercial and institutional owners</li>
<li>Municipal authorities on planning and historic projects</li>
</ul>
<h2>Market Position</h2>
<p>Kobi Karp is among the most recognised architecture and interior design practices in South Florida, with a portfolio spanning many of Miami's landmark hospitality and residential towers, and international work extending into the Caribbean and beyond.</p>

Kobi Karp is an award-winning Miami architecture, interior design and planning firm delivering hospitality, residential, mixed-use and historic projects.

<h2>About Kamai</h2>
<p>Kamai is a next-generation vertical AI agent built for the architecture, engineering, construction, and real estate industries. Designed to understand 2D CAD files, blueprints, floor plans, and technical drawings, Kamai helps teams automate document review, quantity extraction, design analysis, and construction intelligence through an AI platform and developer-friendly API.</p>
<p>Unlike generic AI tools, Kamai is purpose-built for the complexity of construction documentation. It combines a specialised foundation model for CAD with an advanced blueprint parser that can read, interpret, and structure information from 2D drawings. Whether users are analysing architectural plans, engineering sheets, permit sets, construction drawings, or CAD exports, Kamai turns static files into searchable, usable, AI-ready data.</p>
<h2>The 2D CAD Foundation Model</h2>
<p>At the core of Kamai is its 2D CAD foundation model, designed to understand the geometry, symbols, annotations, layers, dimensions, schedules, and spatial relationships found in technical drawings. This allows Kamai to do far more than basic OCR.</p>
<p>It can recognise:</p>
<ul>
<li>Rooms, walls, doors and windows</li>
<li>Fixtures and equipment tags</li>
<li>Measurements and dimensions</li>
<li>Material callouts</li>
<li>Construction details</li>
</ul>
<p>By combining visual AI, geometric reasoning, and domain-specific construction knowledge, Kamai enables teams to interact with drawings in a faster and more intelligent way. The distinction from OCR matters: extracting text from a drawing is a solved problem, but understanding that a symbol represents a fire damper positioned within a specific wall assembly is not.</p>
<h2>Blueprint Parser API</h2>
<p>Kamai's blueprint parser API allows businesses to integrate AI-powered drawing intelligence directly into their own software, workflows, and platforms. Developers can use the API to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Upload blueprints and process CAD files</li>
<li>Extract structured data</li>
<li>Detect objects and classify drawing elements</li>
<li>Compare revisions</li>
<li>Answer natural language questions about project documents</li>
</ul>
<p>This makes Kamai a powerful infrastructure layer for construction technology companies, estimating platforms, property technology tools, design software, and enterprise project management systems.</p>
<h2>Use Cases by Role</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Estimators</strong> - accelerate takeoffs by identifying quantities, dimensions, areas, counts, and material information from 2D plans</li>
<li><strong>Architects and engineers</strong> - support drawing review, design coordination, and issue detection</li>
<li><strong>Contractors</strong> - parse bid sets, compare drawing revisions, summarise changes, and reduce manual review time</li>
<li><strong>Owners and developers</strong> - make complex construction documents easier to understand and query</li>
</ul>
<h2>Natural Language Queries</h2>
<p>As a vertical AI agent for 2D CAD and blueprints, Kamai is optimised for industry-specific workflows. Users can ask questions such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>"How many doors are shown on Level 1?"</li>
<li>"What is the total square footage of office space?"</li>
<li>"Find all rooms with tile flooring."</li>
<li>"Compare this drawing revision to the previous version."</li>
</ul>
<p>Kamai parses the relevant sheets, analyses the visual and textual data, and returns structured answers that help teams move faster.</p>
<h2>Why It Matters</h2>
<p>Traditional blueprint review often requires hours of manual work across large plan sets, especially when teams need to extract details from multiple sheets or identify changes between revisions. Kamai uses AI to reduce repetitive work, improve accuracy, and make project information more accessible.</p>
<p>Revision comparison is the clearest example: on a large bid set, identifying what actually changed between issues is both critical and tedious, and missed changes translate directly into pricing errors and claims.</p>
<h2>Infrastructure for AI-Native Construction</h2>
<p>For companies building AI-native construction workflows, Kamai provides the foundation: a 2D CAD AI model, a reliable blueprint parser, and a scalable API for technical drawing intelligence. Whether used as a standalone vertical AI agent or embedded into enterprise software, Kamai enables smarter, faster, and more automated construction decision-making.</p>
<p>Kamai is redefining how teams work with 2D CAD, blueprints, and building documentation. With AI-powered parsing, CAD understanding, and API-first infrastructure, Kamai gives the built environment a new intelligence layer for design, construction, and real estate workflows.</p>

Kamai is a vertical AI agent and API that parses 2D CAD and blueprints into structured data for takeoffs, drawing review and revision comparison.

<p>SWAPP is operational intelligence for architecture. Instead of another chatbot bolted onto your workflow, SWAPP puts an agentic AI teammate, Frank, directly inside Revit and ArchiCAD, where it reads and writes your live model to do real production work: modeling, dimensions, tags, views, sheets, schedules, collision-solving, and QA.</p>
<p>What makes SWAPP different is that everything is grounded in your firm&rsquo;s own standards. SWAPP learns from your past projects, annotation habits, and QA rules, then enforces them on every new project. The result is complete construction document sets that look like your firm produced them, because, in effect, it did. Frank is the only AI Architect in the category that is not locked to a single authoring platform: it runs the same firm-tuned workflows in both Autodesk Revit and Graphisoft ArchiCAD.</p>
<p>The numbers are real. Firms use SWAPP to automate up to 80% of documentation tasks. Across a two-year span, SWAPP has delivered more than 35 million square feet of production-grade documents and saved over 104,000 production hours. Page designed a 270,000 sq ft student-housing project from concept to schematic design in three weeks with a 40% smaller team. AHA delivered a 550,000 sq ft permit package in a single week. MYS Architects reduced manual workload eightfold. HTA Design cut the team needed for Stage 4 documentation in half. SNHA, a Woolpert company, took work that used to take two weeks down to under 48 hours.</p>
<p>Every action Frank takes is traceable and reversible. Enterprise firms gate execution behind review steps, so automation earns trust over time rather than demanding it up front. SWAPP is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and your data stays yours.</p>
<p>SWAPP now offers a low-commitment trial, so your team can select the capabilities you want and see Frank run on your own live projects before making a long-term commitment. It integrates with Revit, ArchiCAD, Autodesk Forma, Procore, Trimble, and the wider AECO ecosystem. Book a demo to see it on your work.</p>

AI-Powered Automation for Smarter Architectural Workflows

<p data-start="0" data-end="435">Melt Takeoff is built for estimators who need takeoffs that are not just fast, but truly bid-ready and reliable. Unlike fully automated takeoff software that only measures what&rsquo;s drawn, Melt Takeoff is designed around a simple truth: winning bids requires accounting for what&rsquo;s missing from plans &mdash; the scope gaps, incomplete details, coordination conflicts, and implied work that experienced estimators catch through judgment.</p>
<p data-start="437" data-end="894">Melt Takeoff combines AI vision with expert estimator validation to deliver takeoffs with both speed and accuracy. The workflow is simple: upload plans, the AI measures and identifies scope, flags drawing/spec conflicts, adds allowances, and then senior estimators validate everything before delivery. This hybrid model is what makes Melt Takeoff dependable &mdash; AI accelerates measurement, but real estimators ensure completeness and constructability.</p>
<p data-start="896" data-end="921">Key capabilities include:</p>
<ul data-start="923" data-end="1834">
<li data-start="923" data-end="1042">

<p data-start="1259" data-end="1351">Drawing&ndash;spec conflict detection, with estimator-led resolution before it hits your bid</p>
</li>
<li data-start="1352" data-end="1528">
<p data-start="1354" data-end="1528">Estimator-verified outputs, reviewed by onshore senior estimators with 20+ years of field experience, including delivery of multi-million to billion-dollar projects</p>
</li>
<li data-start="1529" data-end="1691">
<p data-start="1531" data-end="1691">Flexible classification standards, supporting MasterFormat&reg;, UniFormat&reg;, or custom structures, so takeoffs drop directly into your estimating workflow</p>
</li>
<li data-start="1692" data-end="1834">
<p data-start="1694" data-end="1834">Interactive takeoff output, with side-by-side plan review, traceable quantities, and clean Excel exports ready for pricing and bidding</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="1836" data-end="2205">Melt Takeoff is designed for speed without sacrificing trust. Quantities aren&rsquo;t just dumped into a spreadsheet &mdash; they&rsquo;re delivered in a structured, reviewable format so teams can validate quickly, collaborate internally, and confidently move into bid submission. The output stays fully in your control: review, adjust, and export clean files without messy reformatting.</p>
<p data-start="2207" data-end="2608" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Melt Takeoff delivers a takeoff process that is 40% more accurate, 20% faster, and 10% cheaper, with turnaround times ranging from 2&ndash;3 days for small projects to 7&ndash;8 days for extra-large projects. The result is fewer missed scope items, stronger bid coverage, reduced risk of underbidding, and significantly more confidence in your numbers &mdash; so estimators can bid faster and win more work.</p>

CRDR BIM

<p>SNHA, a Woolpert Company, specializes in mission-critical design, data centers and technology infrastructure, where documentation must be exact and consistent across many buildings and a large campus. This kind of work carries heavy, repetitive documentation demands: the same detailing, tagging, and drawing production repeated across building after building, with no tolerance for inconsistency. The firm wanted to reduce the time-consuming manual work that slowed project timelines, without compromising the accuracy its clients depend on. SNHA partnered with SWAPP to automate that production directly inside Revit. Using SWAPP's integration with the Revit API, the firm's AI-assisted workflows generated and updated documentation to SNHA's own standards, so detailing stayed consistent across every building on the campus while the architects focused on the strategic and creative aspects of the design. Work that previously took up to two weeks per project was compressed into under 48 hours, and the number of manual documentation tasks dropped several times over. Just as important, the firm was able to see its own standards through the lens of machine learning, which reinforced consistency and quality across the portfolio. The engagement shows how automation, grounded in a firm's standards and integrated with the tools it already uses, can transform delivery speed on demanding, repetitive mission-critical work.</p>
