<div>&nbsp;</div>
As a former construction tech founder who built SaaS products, I've experienced the exhilarating journey of bringing innovative tech to life. I vividly remember the breakthrough moments, but also the times when our incredible solution wasn't connecting with our audience as quickly as we hoped. It wasn't just about the product itself; it was about the profound adoption and impact of when we truly started strategizing its market introduction. Many founders, especially in software or deep tech, have an incredible opportunity to redefine their path: they can transform GTM from a post-development task into a foundational launchpad for success. What if embracing this early focus is the most powerful move you can make?
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">&nbsp;</div>
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">Are you truly uncovering your customer's deepest aspirations and challenges even before your design begins? </h3>
Imagine co-creating a solution that feels like a natural extension of your customer's work. What if you could gather firsthand insights from their daily realities, not just assumptions, months before your MVP takes shape? Moving beyond surface-level surveys allows you to tap into the core motivations that inspire adoption, especially for complex software with intricate integration potential. Think of the innovation sparked by an early, unfiltered conversation with a future user eager for a transformative digital tool.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">Is your message cutting through the noise and sparking genuine connection long before launch day? </h3>
In today's dynamic digital landscape, a clear, compelling story is your greatest asset. Your vision for a new analytics platform or project management tool might be perfectly clear within your engineering team, but what if you could refine that message early on to speak directly to a project manager's most critical needs on a bustling construction site? Imagine testing and perfecting this narrative before significant development resources are invested, ensuring maximum impact upon release.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">Are you strategically choosing the most impactful channels, building authentic pathways from your earliest stages? </h3>
While tech trends offer exciting possibilities, the most successful software go-to-market strategies aren't merely about following what's new. They're built on a deep, early understanding of where your specific, often niche, audience naturally seeks out new solutions. What if you could identify and engage with your future customers where they truly live and breathe, ensuring your innovative digital product connects precisely where it matters most, right from day one?
&nbsp;
<h2 style="line-height: 1.5;">Unlocking Exponential Growth: The Power of Proactive GTM </h2>
Consider the immense potential from a software perspective: companies that master proactive&mdash;and, critically, early&mdash;go-to-market strategies unlock incredible opportunities. They maximize their marketing investments, connect deeply with users, accelerate revenue growth, inspire their teams, and decisively lead their market segments. This isn't just about avoiding pitfalls; it's about building a robust foundation where every feature rollout is celebrated, and every capital investment drives widespread adoption.
Here's what truly excites me as a founder: the amplified opportunity. Every day your go-to-market strategy is actively evolving&mdash;and integrated from the outset&mdash;is another day you're building market leadership, nurturing invaluable customer relationships, and establishing yourself as the undeniable category leader. Imagine the competitive edge gained when your software development cycles are perfectly synchronized with market anticipation and demand.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">1. Begin with a clear-eyed vision of your strategic position, from the earliest concept phase </h3>
What aspects of your approach are currently driving significant value, and how can you amplify them? Successful go-to-market strategies are built on leaders who cultivate genuine progress, especially when launching a digital product designed with the market in mind, not in isolation.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">2. Cultivate profound customer understanding, before you even sketch your first wireframe </h3>
What if you could personally engage with early adopters to uncover their deepest needs and aspirations? Or better yet, gain invaluable insights from potential customers who are eager for a transformative software solution? Their perspectives on why an innovative approach will resonate can be more powerful than extensive market research, saving millions and inspiring a groundbreaking product.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">3. Validate your vision with agile, insightful experiments as early as possible </h3>
Instead of relying on one large, costly product launch, imagine the power of testing different messaging concepts or even interactive mock-ups with targeted audiences before committing to a full build. The early feedback, even from digital prototypes, provides invaluable guidance, illuminating the most promising path to scale.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">4. Harmonize your entire organization around the customer journey from day one </h3>
Is your engineering team crafting solutions precisely for the market your sales team is engaging? Is your marketing team narrating the same compelling story as your customer support? A unified message across all touchpoints creates a seamless experience, attracting prospects and boosting conversion rates, especially when presenting a sophisticated software solution that empowers and educates customers.
&nbsp;
<blockquote>
&ldquo;The companies that truly thrive are not just those with exceptional products&mdash;they are the ones that inherently understand from the very beginning how to powerfully connect their innovative solutions with their customers' most urgent needs and ambitious goals.&rdquo;
</blockquote>
&nbsp;
So here's the question that fuels immense success, particularly for software and deep tech founders: Are you ready to elevate your go-to-market strategy from a reactive checklist after product completion to the dynamic, foundational competitive advantage it truly is, integrating it into every single step of development? Your next quarter's triumphs&mdash;and your team's unwavering confidence&mdash;hinge on how you answer that question today, transforming your tomorrow.

SaaS Founders: Are You Timing Your GTM Right?

<div>Engineering automation has moved from side scripts to everyday workflow. Teams want fewer handoffs and a way to turn hard-won know-how into tools they can share.To see what&rsquo;s practical, aec+tech spoke with <a href="../../../tools/viktor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VIKTOR</a>&rsquo;s CPO, Stijn Jansen, about the new App Builder&mdash;an AI-assisted environment for generating browser-based apps with optional low/full-code edits. Built on VIKTOR&rsquo;s platform with versioning and private distribution, it aims to turn calculators, checks, and post-processing into governed, reusable apps. In this interview, Jansen explains why they built it, what sets it apart, and how engineers can get started.</div>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/7e24c57b-8977-487c-add2-7bc6a684ecb4.png" alt="Stijn Jansen, CPO at VIKTOR" width="200">
<figcaption>Stijn Jansen, CPO at VIKTOR</figcaption>
</figure>
<div>1) So, what exactly is the App Builder?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The App Builder is an assistant that helps engineers rapidly create their own apps. From quick calculators to complex workflows. No coding required. Apps are easy to build, share, and integrate into existing projects.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>2) What challenges inspired the creation of the App Builder?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Engineers across industries still spend too much time on manual tasks: copy-pasting data, repeating calculations, and handling disconnected models. Instead of solving real problems, their time is consumed by manual work. When they want to improve their way of working, they often depend on scarce developers or IT teams, creating bottlenecks that slow innovation.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>3) Why rethink how engineers work?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Until now, automation and app-building have been limited to people with programming skills. But most engineers are no coding experts. Nevertheless, they know their own problems best and should be able to create the automation tools they need, when they need them. Empowering them to build their own apps makes automation and innovation part of everyday engineering.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>4) What gap does the App Builder fill?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Coding environments are too technical for most domain experts, low-code platforms often produce &ldquo;toy apps,&rdquo; and standalone AI assistants lack governance and integration. The App Builder combines no-code, low-code, and full-code options in one secure, transparent, and enterprise-ready environment built for engineering. </div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>5) How does it empower engineers?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The App Builder gives geotechnical, structural, mechanical, and environmental engineers a no-code environment to automate tasks, set up configurators, and link software. Direct integrations with tools like Revit, PLAXIS, Rhino, SCIA, ETABS, SAP2000, Grasshopper, Excel, and CAD platforms eliminate manual file handling and streamline workflows.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>6) What makes the App Builder unique?
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" aria-level="1">The VIKTOR platform is built by engineers, for engineers.&nbsp;</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" aria-level="1">Direct integrations with the tools you actually use (Revit, PLAXIS, Rhino, SCIA, etc.).&nbsp;</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" aria-level="1">Versioning, testing, and audit trails built in.&nbsp;</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" aria-level="1">Security and compliance from day one.</li>
</ul>
Unlike other no-code tools, the App Builder combines speed with enterprise-level quality assurance and governance.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>7) What kinds of problems can engineers solve with the App Builder?</div>
<div>
Short answer: anything from quick calculators to governed, shareable workflows&mdash;without waiting on scarce developer time.
Typical use cases
<ul data-start="221" data-end="540">
<li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" data-start="221" data-end="290">
Structural: build load/sizing calculators; rapid code checks.
</li>
<li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" data-start="291" data-end="381">
Geotechnical: automate design checks and reporting (e.g., PLAXIS post-processing).
</li>
<li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" data-start="382" data-end="462">
Mechanical: create product/configuration tools and parametric selectors.
</li>
<li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" data-start="463" data-end="540">
Environmental: run scenario analyses and generate standardized reports.
</li>
</ul>
Concrete example&mdash;turn analysis into a web app
Turn a recurring data-analysis task into a browser app: upload measurement or simulation data (e.g., an Excel file), run calculations, and instantly produce plots and a PDF report for teammates. For instance, to read acceleration data from Excel, you&rsquo;d specify the expected column names once; the App Builder handles parsing, validation, and output each time.

8) Can you share a real-world use case of the App Builder?
For example, at KBR, engineers have created everything from simple unit converters to advanced apps automating complex processes. These apps eliminate repetitive, error-prone tasks and make sophisticated workflows accessible to entire teams. KBR even runs workshops to spread the App Builder across their organization.
9) How does this fit into VIKTOR&rsquo;s vision of AI in engineering?
Our vision is simple: app-building should be part of every engineer&rsquo;s work. AI should help them move faster in a transparent, secure, and compliant way. The App Builder is the foundation of this vision: a place where engineers use their domain knowledge to create solutions, supported by AI and governed by enterprise standards.
10) What&rsquo;s next?
We&rsquo;re making app-building even faster with deeper AI assistance. Not just generating code but also testing and validating apps. More integrations are coming, and AI will increasingly become a transparent, reliable partner in everyday engineering practice.
11) How can engineers get started?
The easiest way is to experiment directly on the VIKTOR platform and just try to build a small app first. At the end of October, we&rsquo;re also hosting a live webinar where engineers can see the App Builder in action, explore real-world applications, and even try building themselves.
App-building is no longer limited to IT or coders. Every engineer can now create, share, and improve their own workflows with the freedom to innovate, and the enterprise-level control to ensure security and quality!

Building Better with BIM QA: 2025 Interview with Solibri

With design and building cycles accelerating, architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals are racing against time. qbiq.ai&nbsp;introduces a radical shift: from blank canvas struggles to fully viable, detailed design plans in minutes.
Unlike generic AI floor plan generators or "smoke and mirrors" automation tools that offer surface-level renderings that are unusable, qbiq.ai is purpose-built for professionals who need usable, build-ready outputs. <a href="https://www.qbiq.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">qbiq</a>&rsquo;s system doesn't just sketch ideas; it delivers usable, BIM-compatible, and fully editable 2D, CAD and 3D architectural models that evolve with your project based on a huge data set of verified plans.
As one of the few AI solutions delivering fully usable CAD, BIM, and Revit outputs, qbiq ensures AEC professionals save both time and costs while reducing errors that slow down project delivery.
<h2 dir="ltr">A Unique AI Model, Built for Your Project</h2>
One of the most powerful capabilities qbiq offers is its "<a href="https://www.qbiq.ai/capabilities/customized-planning-engine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Customized Planning Engine</a>", which builds an intelligent AI model around your specific goals and constraints. Instead of forcing your team to adapt to generic layouts or templates, qbiq adapts to you. By ingesting your project parameters, building specific geometry, design guidelines, operational flows, and compliance rules, it creates a context-aware engine that produces layouts tailored to your domain. Whether you&rsquo;re following internal brand standards or navigating local code requirements, your AI model is purpose-built to reflect those exact conditions.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/bfdd8c29-ca7c-4357-9e1a-0b36b2450f8a.png" alt="Tune seat distribution and space ratios with instant analytics." width="1000">
<figcaption>

</figure>
Every project powered by qbiq starts with our AI model and we generate customized, valid plans , tailored to your specific requirements. This isn&rsquo;t one-size-fits-all AI. qbiq generates solutions that align with your industry standards, spatial constraints, and regulatory guidelines from day one.
This model isn&rsquo;t static either. It evolves with you. As you refine and review, the system continues to learn and adapt, producing new layout variations, fine-tuning component placement, and adjusting flows to meet stakeholder feedback. It's not just iterative; it's intelligent iteration rooted in your specific needs.
<h2 dir="ltr">Visually Rich, Professionally Valid</h2>
Design excellence isn&rsquo;t just about layout and deliverability - it&rsquo;s also about presentation. qbiq doesn&rsquo;t stop at a 2D functional layout; it delivers highly visual, beautifully finished 3D environments that reflect your standards and elevate stakeholder engagement. With our <a href="https://www.qbiq.ai/capabilities/themes-finishes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Themes &amp; Finishes</a> capability, every space generated includes customized visual treatments, from flooring and lighting schemes to furniture arrangements and brand-aligned finishes at a specific cost level.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/427a2cf8-acba-41c2-bee0-da01aab8cc1d.png" alt="AI applies selected finishes to plans and 3D views." width="1000">
<figcaption>

</figcaption>
</figure>
This makes it easy to communicate potential, win buy-in faster, and deliver not just functional plans, but emotionally resonant spaces. Whether you're showcasing options to clients, executives, or internal teams, your spaces are rendered with aesthetic clarity -not generic white-box placeholders.
These important capabilities are in demand for organizations that want to ensure they are aligned with their corporate standards of aesthetic and functionality.&nbsp; By establishing the elements as the guiding principles, professionals can ensure all work is done in line with their demanding standards from the get-go.
<h2 dir="ltr">Seamless Collaboration and Revit-Ready Outputs</h2>
One of the most overlooked sources of project delay and misalignment in the AEC world is the disconnect between early-stage design and production-ready documentation. With qbiq.ai, that handoff is seamless. Every plan generated -whether it's a 2D layout or a 3D visual- is immediately usable by the entire project team.
Thanks to our built-in <a href="https://www.qbiq.ai/capabilities/revit-cad-model-generation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Revit &amp; CAD Model Generation</a> capabilities, your outputs are delivered in native file formats that plug directly into existing BIM workflows. No re-drafting, no translation errors, no delays. These files are highly accurate and ready for immediate use. This reduces the typical friction between design and documentation, allowing architects, engineers, and contractors to move from concept to execution with confidence and speed.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/86348899-3cf6-4474-9e5a-69f31c584af4.png" alt="Download a Future-Fit package: Revit and CAD files plus sheets." width="1000">
<figcaption>Fig. 3) Download a Future-Fit package: Revit and CAD files plus sheets.</figcaption>
</figure>
As a result there is less duplication of work, fewer handoff errors, and significantly faster timelines from idea to implementation&mdash;all while maintaining full design fidelity.
Integration with existing BIM workflows makes qbiq a practical upgrade, not a disruptive overhaul&mdash;teams can adopt quickly with minimal retraining.&rdquo;

Our approach reflects the best in AI architectural design tools -providing AI-generated floor plans and enabling automated space planning that still respects the unique vision of each user.
<h2 dir="ltr">A Long-Overdue Shift in Architectural Technology</h2>
The last true revolution in architectural technology came with the transition from paper drawings to digital drafting tools like AutoCAD and Revit. That shift changed workflows&mdash;but not the fundamental structure of how projects begin. Architects and designers have remained responsible for setting up each project from scratch, manually interpreting requirements, building base models, and iterating over time-intensive tasks just to get to a usable concept.
Meanwhile, industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and finance have harnessed AI to dramatically increase quality, efficiency, and predictability. The AEC sector has lagged behind&mdash;until now.
qbiq.ai brings architectural design into the era of intelligent automation. Instead of merely drawing faster, qbiq enables professionals to begin with a viable, architectural-grade model that's customized to the project context. This leap forward allows AEC teams to:
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" aria-level="1">
Accelerate early-phase design with AI-generated options
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" aria-level="1">
Reduce redundant manual setup
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" aria-level="1">
Minimize rework with architectural-grade foundations
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" aria-level="1">
Spend more time solving design problems, not drafting them
</li>
</ul>
It&rsquo;s a timely evolution. As project complexity grows and deadlines shrink, firms that leverage this new class of AI tools will be positioned not just to keep up&mdash;but to lead.
<h2 dir="ltr">Designed for the Real Estate World</h2>
For corporate real estate teams managing global portfolios, qbiq standardizes planning outputs across markets and ensures compliance with local regulations. Whether you&rsquo;re a design-build firm, a commercial broker, or a facility manager, qbiq eliminates the front-loaded effort typically required to generate test fits and schematic designs. You go from project brief to tangible results in record time, freeing your team to focus on higher-value design and decision-making.&nbsp;

A&E Design is a Montana-based architectural and design firm founded in 1973. With offices in Billings, Bozeman, Missoula, and Kalispell, the company provides architecture, interior design, and historic preservation services throughout Montana and the Northwest. 

Key historical highlights:

* Founding (1973): The firm was established with the goal of providing innovative design solutions for its clients.

* Expansion: Over its 50-year history, A&E has expanded its presence across Montana, growing to a team of over 90 professionals.

* Merger: A&E Design has now joined forces with fellow Montana firm SMA Architecture + Design to "multiply creativity, momentum, and possibility". 

A&E Design has been involved in several projects centered on historic preservation, including:

* Fort Missoula Alien Detention Barrack: A&E was involved in the restoration of the former WWII internment site at the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula. The project transformed the barracks into a memorial and exhibit space.

* ALPS Insurance Offices: A&E revitalized the historic Florence Building in Missoula, converting a 1980s law office into a contemporary workspace for ALPS Insurance. The project adhered to National Register standards and integrated historic qualities into the design.

* Delta Gamma Sorority House: The firm restored the Pi Chapter's 1920s Tudor Revival sorority house to preserve its historic architecture and support its continued use by students. 

The primary goals of the merger between A&E Design and SMA Architecture + Design were to combine their respective legacies, expand resources and expertise, and increase their creative impact on Montana communities. The new firm, A&E + SMA Design, aims to become a "powerhouse" by uniting the talent and vision of both firms.

Key objectives of the merger:

* Create a powerhouse firm: By joining forces, the two firms aimed to become a larger and stronger entity with the ability to take on bigger and more complex projects.

* Multiply creativity and momentum: The merger was intended to combine the two firms' complementary expertise and "unstoppable creative energy," leading to bolder and more innovative design solutions.

* Expand resources and services: The newly combined firm has expanded its range of services across multiple disciplines, including architecture, interiors, preservation, environmental graphic design, and landscape architecture. The goal is to connect these services to deliver integrated solutions.

* Increase community impact: By combining decades of community relationships and expanded resources, the merger seeks to create a greater positive impact. This involves designing spaces that uplift identity, strengthen culture, and foster a sense of belonging in the communities they serve.

* Improve client experience: The new firm intends to deliver lasting impact for clients through deeper expertise, seamless collaboration, and a people-first approach.

Before the 2025 merger of A&E Design and SMA Architecture + Design, both firms had a long history of impactful projects across Montana. While information on the new entity's joint projects is still emerging, the combined legacy of A&E and SMA offers a strong indication of their future work. Their respective portfolios include historic preservation, sustainable design, community spaces, and commercial hubs. Examples include:

Historic preservation and community hubs

* ALPS Insurance Offices, Missoula (A&E): A&E revitalized the company's headquarters in the historic Florence Building, transforming a 1980s office into a contemporary, functional workspace. The project, which followed National Register standards, artfully exposed historic elements and incorporated reclaimed wood, concrete beams, and walls to maintain a rustic-modern aesthetic. It also added a new rooftop patio to connect indoor and outdoor spaces.

* Fort Missoula Alien Detention Barrack (A&E): A&E Design was involved in restoring this historic barrack, which now features an immersive exhibit on the unjust incarceration of Japanese and Italian men during WWII. The project's impact lies in its role in preserving history and educating future generations.

* Stock Farm Club and Chief Joseph Ranch (A&E): A&E's historic preservation work is famously featured on the television show Yellowstone, which showcases projects at the Stock Farm Club and Chief Joseph Ranch. This demonstrates the firm's ability to revitalize historic structures while retaining their character and history.

*University of Montana Wayfinding (SMA): In 2024, SMA completed a new 10-foot-tall sign for the entrance of the University of Montana based on a Wayfinding Study and Master Plan. The project improves campus navigation and strengthens the university's brand and visual identity for students and visitors. 

Sustainable and forward-thinking design

* Northwest Pipe Fittings Facility (A&E): For this industrial mixed-use facility, A&E integrated sustainable practices, including a LEED-informed approach. The building features steel and wood elements, extensive LED lighting, and translucent wall panels that create a lantern-like effect at night, emphasizing both function and aesthetics.

* Saddle Peak Elementary School Library & Commons (A&E): This project expanded the school's facilities with a new library and commons area. Design elements, like a focus on natural light and views of the surrounding landscape, were used to create a more flexible and engaging learning environment for students.

* Mass Timber Projects (A&E): In 2024, A&E designed nearly 500,000 square feet of sustainable spaces, including mass timber innovations. These projects show the firm's commitment to using cutting-edge, eco-friendly materials and design techniques.

* VACOM CleanFab Facility (SMA): The Lewistown facility, designed by SMA, represents an expansion of a global vacuum technology company's U.S. presence. This project showcases the firm's expertise in specialized commercial and industrial design that supports economic growth in Montana. 

Community engagement and safety

* Jeremy Bullock Safe Schools Summit (SMA): The merger combines both firms' commitments to community safety. SMA regularly spoke at the annual Jeremy Bullock Safe Schools Summit, addressing school security architecture and designing safer schools. One of SMA's employees was posthumously recognized at the summit with a "Legacy of Safe Schools Award".

* Malta Vehicle Maintenance Shop (SMA): SMA was involved in the groundbreaking for a new vehicle maintenance shop in Malta, Montana, as a representative for the firm. The project supports Montana National Guard operations and highlights the firm's work in the military and public sectors.

We are a firm of creative-minded thinkers driven to push creative boundaries that provide extraordinary experiences and impactful solutions for each other, the environment, and our communities.

Secude is headquartered in Lucerne, Switzerland and is a leading global provider of data protection and digital rights management solutions that serve the AEC industry.  Secude’s solutions help extend corporate data governance and data loss prevention (DLP) to CAD and related construction files through the integration with popular systems that work with Microsoft Purview Information Protection (MPIP).  This protection remains attached to the protected files wherever they travel and provides a means for file tracking through real-time activity logs and prevents unauthorized access through encryption technology.  The access controls provided through protection policies can be defined to grant specific users very granular access to various application functions when working with shared documents.       
Secude solutions also provide capabilities for applying digital watermarking, metadata implantation and digital signing technology to CAD and related construction documents.   Using digital watermarking, metadata implantation and digital signing in combination creates many possibilities for proving non-repudiated document ownership and validating the intended parties that documents are shared with.  While this doesn’t completely limit access, it does provide a way to determine accountability should sensitive filed be leaked.
Secude solutions provide additional capabilities for automating compliance markings for CAD and other construction related files.  This includes specific compliance markings for Export Controlled Information (ECI), Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) for CMMC compliance and can also incorporate dynamic watermarking to include the last user to edit the file with a timestamp.
Secude's application suite provides data protection and digital rights management for CAD and other construction related files in several ways:
HaloCAD - Apply Microsoft Purview Information Protection (MPIP) sensitivity labels and AES encryption directly to files from within the CAD user interface. This is seamless to the user and allows CAD files to become classified and operate within the Purview Data Governance platform to apply Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies that ensure data can't be stolen. MPIP sensitivity labels also provide rules that can be enforced within the CAD user interface and provide an additional layer of access control defined at the user or group-level by restricting functions such as edit, export and print. The AES encryption that is applied by MPIP also ensures that files are useless to would-be hackers that managed to get them outside of the enterprise. 
HaloSHARE - A workflow tool that performs batch transformation of CAD, MS Office and PDF files to apply various levels of identification and protection. HaloSHARE digital rights management methods include document compliance marking, metadata implantation and digital document signing that can be performed batch style and deliver the transformed documents to multiple local or Cloud data stores including Autodesk Docs. Document marking can include standard watermarking or specially formatted text to identify Export Controlled Information (ECI), Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or other special compliance markings. Metadata implantation and digital signing ensure that documents can be traced to the original owners or to the parties they were shared with. HaloSHARE MPIP methods can be used to bulk process files to apply sensitivity labels, encrypt or decrypt files and deliver them to multiple local or Cloud-hosted destination storage locations.

History

In 1898, Charles Henry Page and his brother Louis Page formed Page Brother, Architects and focused on designing courthouses and public schools. Charles's son, Charles Henry Page Jr., joined the firm following Louis's death in 1934. 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, would join the firm in 1939 and the name changed to Page Southerland Page. The firm changed its name to just Page in 2013.

In 2022, Page bought the architectural and planning firm, EYP, merging the former Albany-based company's national offices and design portfolio. In 2023, Page acquired Davis Brody Bond, a former New York City-based architecture firm with notable projects including the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, the Portico Gallery at the Frick Collection, and the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

As of 2024, Page operated 21 offices in the US, Mexico, and the United Arab Emirates.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SOHO Gubei
The distinctive zig-zag form of SOHO Gubei strikes a dynamic silhouette that extends the character of the new Hongqiao Central Park and creates a signature landmark for Shanghai’s central business district.

The project consists of a 38-story office tower and a 12-story podium with retail and basement parking. The landscape design takes advantage of proximity to the park, extending the experience of resting and strolling in a lush natural environment into the project.

Taking advantage of its central position in views across the park, the architectural form is at the same time rational and expressive. Inspired by the proportions of Constantin Brâncuși’s Endless Column, the tower presents itself as an undulating obelisk featuring a diagonally canted zig-zag profile. Each side of its sculptural form consists of four stacked volumes. A series of shifted grids creates a density of wall surface that shades from the sun, reduces glass glare, and creates a sense of urban solidity.

The podium massing complements the tower with a simpler articulation. The angle on its vertical planes places emphasis on the street experience by reflecting the residential neighborhood. On the top level, a sky garden offers dining and outdoor spaces to both the building tenants and the general public.

The Biosphere, Treehotel – Designed by BIG, Bjarke Ingels Group

The Biosphere at Treehotel, designed by BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group), is a unique retreat located in northern Sweden that merges architecture, ecology, and immersive nature experiences. BIG, a global architecture and design practice with offices in Copenhagen, New York, Shenzhen, London, and Barcelona, created the Biosphere to extend the experience of Treehotel guests into a cohabitation with nature, including resident birds and bats. The project draws inspiration from the surrounding forest, incorporating local materials such as wood and stone to create an interior that harmonizes with its natural environment while promoting a positive ecological impact.

The design process was greatly enhanced through the use of D5 Render, enabling the team to produce high-quality, photorealistic visualizations in just a few hours. This contrasts sharply with traditional rendering tools like V-Ray, which would have required three to four days to achieve comparable fidelity. D5 Render’s real-time rendering and AI-powered features allowed BIG to iterate rapidly, explore design alternatives efficiently, and present highly detailed visuals to clients and stakeholders. By combining speed, accuracy, and visual quality, D5 has become an essential part of BIG’s workflow, demonstrating its transformative impact on architectural visualization for complex, nature-integrated projects like the Biosphere.

A&E Design is an architecture and design firm with a portfolio of exciting projects, including a renovation of the Old Faithful Inn at Yellowstone National Park. 

While relatively modest in size, the company manages enormous volumes of data. To keep that data accessible to stakeholders across the state of Montana and beyond, it was paramount to minimize silos and data sprawl. 

To address this need, ARKANCE—A&E’s partner for technology solutions such as Autodesk and Bluebeam—pointed the company toward Egnyte. A&E’s subsequent adoption of Egnyte has eliminated the barriers standing in the way of their hybrid work model and enabled future growth.  

Challenge: A&E Struggles to Access Files on Its Own Terms

With workers spread across multiple offices, enabling everyone to access and share data using A&E’s on-premises data storage platform was a major headache. The arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic only exacerbated the problem, as many staff members began working from home, further straining the firm’s existing infrastructure.  

To connect these sites and remote workers, the firm relied heavily on VPNs. This proved unsustainable, especially for Mac users. Wesley Miller, IT Director at A&E Design, explained: “Our Branding and Marketing teams are all on Apple devices, and the VPN just wasn’t working. People kept getting frustrated trying to access their files. The issue got a lot worse during COVID when everyone went remote.” 

Sharing files under such circumstances required convoluted workarounds. With no reliable way to gain timely access over a VPN, users had to download files to their local machines to edit. Thumb drives and external hard drives were used to share exceptionally large files with consulting firms. 

Solution: ARKANCE Brings in Egnyte’s Cloud-Hosted Platform

A&E’s technology partner ARKANCE was aware of the issues the company was facing. So when Miller reached out to his contact there about renewing A&E’s subscription to another data platform, ARKANCE recommended looking at Egnyte. “The thinking was that Egnyte had proven really successful in the AEC space, could easily meet our heavy cloud data storage needs, and was great for sharing and accessing files on any device,” Miller explains. “That made it easy to sell to my leadership team.” 

Egnyte serves as a cloud-hosted file management system that eliminates file access barriers for users in any location. In testing Egnyte, users found that they were able to open Adobe Creative Cloud files and other content directly in Egnyte and share them with internal and external stakeholders via secure links with granular access permissions. Brian Smith, Cloud Solutions Specialist at ARKANCE, elaborates on why this was so significant for A&E: “The brain of many data platforms focuses on their filers. Egnyte’s brain is in the cloud. A&E's current solution didn’t have a lot of great options for remote file access, and A&E started to feel the sting from that when they went remote during the pandemic. Egnyte is perfect for that, and for the hybrid in-office and work-from-home model A&E has now.” Critically, all file sharing now happens through Egnyte, completely eliminating the need to copy files between systems like Windows and multiple data silos—all of which were previously in use—and then having to share those files as email attachments, creating further security risks and contributing to data sprawl.

Raven &ndash; AI-Driven Grasshopper Scripting Raven is an intelligent plugin for Rhino's Grasshopper that uses generative AI to create, edit, and iterate parametric scripts from natural language or image input. Whether you're ideating from scratch or refining an existing definition, Raven transforms your intent into fully functioning Grasshopper logic, using native components and wiring them directly onto your canvas. With Raven, scripting becomes conversational. Describe what you want&mdash;a twisting tower, a recursive facade, or a hexagonal grid responsive to attractors&mdash;and Raven assembles the logic in seconds. Upload a reference image, and Raven interprets its structure or patterns to produce geometry that reflects your design goals. Powered by the romantic technology cloud, Raven connects the creative process with architectural computation in a seamless and intuitive workflow. Getting started is easy: create an account at romantic.technology to receive free tokens. After that, simply plug your API key into the Raven interface and start transforming words and images into procedural design. No coding experience is necessary&mdash;just creative curiosity. Raven&rsquo;s core strength lies in iteration. Unlike one-shot generators, Raven allows you to continually evolve your design. With a script open, you can ask Raven to change a parameter, replace a component, add geometry, or reorganize logic. It understands both your canvas and your intent, and responds intelligently to refine your system step by step. Already installed on over 500 systems across Windows and macOS, Raven is fully compatible with Rhino 8. Its deep integration with the Grasshopper API ensures every operation&mdash;from adding components to creating connections and applying changes&mdash;is done cleanly and precisely, just like a human expert would. Whether you're a student learning the basics, a designer exploring new patterns, or an architect building complex systems, Raven gives you a powerful creative partner. It speeds up prototyping, enhances experimentation, and lowers the barrier to parametric thinking. Raven is not just a plugin&mdash;it&rsquo;s a design collaborator, a real-time assistant, and a new way of thinking about geometry. Say what you want. See it appear. Iterate and evolve. That&rsquo;s the magic of Raven.

Special industry discount codes are available, please email with a request for a demo and specify your focus/industry to receive your code if you are affiliated with any events/associations like ICSC, IBS, BisNow, TRD, etc. Here's a few interesting notes from a transcription of our latest Bi-Weekly Rendair Webinars - "Once you've signed up, you'll be able to access the text to render tool, which is the most basic tool that is accessible for free. You can test it out. We have some videos that are available on YouTube. But generally to create and instantly access the platform and start making amazing renderings, you want to use either Create, Edit, Upscale or Video. Within each of these, you'll notice a different set of tools, each of which you can attenuate with different metrics. So we'll go one by one. Create is where we generally start. Text to render is the most basic. So here, these take about 15 to 30 seconds to generate. you can type in pretty much anything. I can say tiny home on a hill, blue facade white flowers in the garden, right?" "For anything that's text to render only, I suggest getting as lengthy as you want with the description of the scene. The reason being you're not providing design input or some kind of other direction for the Ai to follow. So you can really get as creative and as detailed as you want here in the description of the scene. Otherwise, the moment we start introducing designs and then adding text to it, there can be certain prompts that conflict with the design. So, you want to make sure that it all lines up and it makes sense." "The creativity bar directly impacts the text in the description of the scene. So, if my creativity is really high, this image is going to be really busy." "Let's take a look at some examples of elevation to render, If you have these sort of speckled details, they're going to show up in the render, So depending on your use case and what you're trying to do, in this case, our client was looking for a white tile fireplace with white walls on the sides and they wanted this centerpiece to be walnut. I was able to make that happen using a few different tools, but I ended up finding even though I was working on an elevation, and this is an interesting note, sketch to render was able to make some pretty good results for me too. Here are some examples of Elevation-to-Render and Sketch-To-Render... Ultimately, I ended up taking the best final render to select and modify via the edit tools in order to put the image together." "Here we have a really nice exterior of an office building. The sketch was pretty rough, so it's a little bit low quality. I'll make another note here. the quality of your output will be, Generally speaking. And before I move on to the edit module, I'm going to take a moment to let you guys ask any questions into the chat a few things that I'd like to point out about create. Anything that we make here is going to change and affect every pixel in the image within the create module." "Magic variation is when you don't want any changes to the design but you want to show the project in a different light/feel. By decreasing the image strength to 1%, I gave the AI freedom to veer away from the original design. I asked it to follow it by providing the design input but I gave it full freedom to go away as far as it wanted. Otherwise in this case you'll notice the design is far more close to the original input. I can click here on copy inputs to verify and you'll see that the image strength is up there at 100%. Right? Creativity by the way still only impacts for all the tools the description of the scene. So in this case elevation to render has the first component. We're attenuating the image strength to suggest whether or not we want the AI to closely follow the input design. We're then further directing the image with the description of the scene which you can pull up keywords here at any point in time which are very influential." "And the third component is if we want to add a reference image, we can also add a reference image. The reference image doesn't necessarily have to The reference image can also be something like this. In which case, if I use this 100% is going to really overpower. So let's say I start with just under 50%. This will take into account the description of the scene, and If I feel the reference strength isn't showing enough, then I'll just increase here. And if I feel that it's overpowering, I'll decrease it here. Generally, the reference strength makes a huge impact. Okay, here's another quick elevation to render example. A little kiosk, and we'll take a look at those ones that we just made. Okay, while those are loading up, I'll move on to sketch to render." "Sketch to render might be the most flexible tool out out of all of them. It can do complex, it can do simple, it can do 2D, it can do 3D, it can literally do anything. So, tch If I go here, filtering by tools. yeah, it's impressive what Sketch render can do. Let's take a look here. So, this can be super basic. It can be like a sketch on a napkin and with some direction from the AI on the text, you can get some pretty impressive results. It can also process really complex artwork like a MC Escher sketch and try to make something realistic out of it. But otherwise, just about anything you throw at it, it's going to do really incredible work."

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