Technology leaders from Flad Architects, NBBJ, and Stantec on how architecture firms move AI past experiments into governed, repeatable practice that augments professional teams.

How Leading Architecture Firms Are Moving AI From Pilots to Everyday Practice

<div>
<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>
<p dir="ltr">D5 will demonstrate the 3.1 workflow in a live webinar on Tuesday, July 21, 2026 at 1:00 PM UTC, hosted by Jeff Espinoza, D5's Director of Customer Success and Services.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

<h2>Data Protection and Digital Rights Management for CAD Files</h2>
<p>Secude is headquartered in Lucerne, Switzerland and is a leading global provider of data protection and digital rights management solutions serving the AEC industry. Secude's solutions extend corporate data governance and data loss prevention (DLP) to CAD and related construction files through integration with systems that work with Microsoft Purview Information Protection (MPIP).</p>
<p>This protection remains attached to the protected files wherever they travel. It provides a means for file tracking through real-time activity logs and prevents unauthorised access through encryption technology. Access controls defined in protection policies can grant specific users very granular access to individual application functions when working with shared documents.</p>
<h2>Why CAD Files Are a Governance Blind Spot</h2>
<p>Most enterprise data protection was built around documents, email and spreadsheets. Drawings, models and design files often fall outside it - they live in specialist applications, move between design partners, contractors and fabricators, and frequently carry the most commercially sensitive intellectual property a project produces. A protection scheme that covers the Office estate but stops at the CAD environment leaves exactly the wrong gap. Secude's approach is to bring those file types inside the same governance framework the rest of the business already uses, rather than running a separate parallel system for design data.</p>
<h2>Watermarking, Metadata and Digital Signing</h2>
<p>Secude solutions provide capabilities for applying digital watermarking, metadata implantation and digital signing technology to CAD and related construction documents. Used in combination, these create several routes to proving non-repudiated document ownership and validating the intended parties documents were shared with. This does not completely limit access, but it does provide a way to determine accountability should sensitive files be leaked.</p>
<h2>Automated Compliance Marking</h2>
<p>Secude solutions provide additional capabilities for automating compliance markings on CAD and other construction-related files. This includes specific markings for Export Controlled Information (ECI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) for CMMC compliance, and can incorporate dynamic watermarking that shows the last user to edit the file along with a timestamp.</p>
<p>For firms working on defence, aerospace or federal infrastructure projects, these markings are contractual obligations rather than good practice, and applying them by hand across thousands of drawing files is both slow and unreliable. Automating the marking step is often what makes compliance workable at project scale.</p>
<h2>The Secude Application Suite</h2>
<h3>HaloCAD</h3>
<p>HaloCAD applies Microsoft Purview Information Protection 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, so DLP policies can be applied to ensure data cannot be stolen.</p>
<p>MPIP sensitivity labels also provide rules enforceable inside the CAD interface, adding a layer of access control defined at user or group level by restricting functions such as edit, export and print. The AES encryption applied by MPIP ensures that files are useless to anyone who manages to get them outside the enterprise.</p>
<h3>HaloSHARE</h3>
<p>HaloSHARE is a workflow tool that performs batch transformation of CAD, Microsoft Office and PDF files to apply various levels of identification and protection. Its digital rights management methods include document compliance marking, metadata implantation and digital document signing, all performed batch style, delivering the transformed documents to multiple local or cloud data stores including Autodesk Docs.</p>
<p>Document marking can include standard watermarking or specially formatted text identifying Export Controlled Information, Controlled Unclassified Information or other special compliance markings. Metadata implantation and digital signing ensure documents can be traced back to their original owners or to the parties they were shared with. HaloSHARE MPIP methods can also bulk-process files to apply sensitivity labels, encrypt or decrypt files, and deliver them to multiple local or cloud-hosted destination storage locations.</p>
<h2>Protection That Survives Sharing</h2>
<p>The distinguishing characteristic of this model is that controls travel with the file rather than sitting around it. Perimeter security, access-controlled folders and secure file transfer all stop working the moment a drawing legitimately leaves the organisation - which, on any real project, it must. Persistent encryption and embedded policy mean a file forwarded outside its intended recipient list still refuses to open, and one that is opened still records who opened it and when.</p>
<h2>Who Secude Serves</h2>
<p>Secude's solutions are aimed at architecture, engineering and construction organisations, manufacturers and asset owners that handle sensitive design data across distributed project teams and external supply chains - particularly those subject to export control, CMMC or comparable regulatory regimes where the consequences of an uncontrolled drawing release extend well beyond commercial risk.</p>

<h2>Reality Capture and Digital Twins for the AEC Industry</h2>
<p>RPG Squarefoot Solutions, a division of RPG Enterprises, is a trusted provider of advanced reality capture, geospatial, 3D scanning, digital twin and visualization solutions for the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. With a strong focus on innovation, precision and project efficiency, RPG helps AEC professionals transform physical spaces into accurate, intelligent and actionable digital assets.</p>
<p>At the core of RPG's value proposition is its ability to bridge the gap between the built environment and digital workflows. By leveraging terrestrial laser scanning, mobile mapping, drone-based reality capture, 360-degree imaging, BIM support, digital twin development and construction documentation, RPG enables architects, engineers, contractors, owners and facility teams to make better decisions with higher confidence.</p>
<h2>30+ Years Supporting the Construction Industry</h2>
<p>RPG has spent more than three decades supporting design and construction firms, and that longevity shapes how it works. The company describes the core problem in its market as a digital data fluency gap - firms at very different stages of technology adoption, from those still hand-marking construction plans to those running mature BIM environments, all needing to exchange information reliably.</p>
<p>Its answer is deliberately manufacturer-agnostic. Rather than reselling a single vendor's stack, RPG evaluates products across the market and assembles solutions around what a client actually needs, backed by its own support services. In 2022 the company expanded its portfolio by acquiring Digital Color Ink, strengthening its wide-format printing capability.</p>
<h2>Services Across the Asset Lifecycle</h2>
<p>RPG Squarefoot Solutions supports projects across the entire asset lifecycle - from pre-design and planning through construction, renovation, operations and facility management. The company specialises in high-accuracy existing conditions documentation, scan-to-BIM workflows, point cloud data, virtual walkthroughs, as-built documentation and site intelligence solutions that reduce rework and improve coordination.</p>
<h3>Reality Capture and 3D Scanning</h3>
<p>Terrestrial laser scanning, mobile mapping and drone data capture produce survey-grade records of existing conditions. The resulting point clouds feed directly into design and coordination software, replacing assumptions about as-built geometry with measured fact.</p>
<h3>BIM and Digital Twin Development</h3>
<p>Captured data is processed into usable models rather than delivered as raw scans. Scan-to-BIM services convert point clouds into intelligent, parametric models, and digital twin development extends that into an asset record owners can maintain and query through operations.</p>
<h3>Visualisation and Virtual Reality</h3>
<p>Virtual reality and 360-degree imaging solutions help project teams and clients understand a space before it exists, or review a remote site without travelling to it - useful in stakeholder approvals as much as in technical coordination.</p>
<h3>Managed IT and Jobsite Connectivity</h3>
<p>RPG provides IT network management and mobile jobsite connectivity, addressing a practical constraint on digital construction: models and captured data are only useful if field teams can actually reach them from site.</p>
<h3>Wide-Format Printing Equipment</h3>
<p>The company supplies wide-format printers and scanners along with maintenance and support, serving both AEC firms and the environmental graphics and print service provider market.</p>
<h2>Where RPG's Work Adds the Most Value</h2>
<p>RPG's solutions are particularly valuable on projects involving renovation, retrofit, adaptive reuse, historic preservation, industrial facilities, commercial interiors, healthcare spaces, educational institutions, infrastructure environments and complex building systems - anywhere accurate field conditions are critical to project success.</p>
<p>These are precisely the project types where drawings are least likely to match reality. On a renovation of a building documented decades ago, the difference between assumed and measured conditions surfaces as change orders, and reality capture moves that discovery from the construction phase to the design phase, where it is far cheaper to resolve.</p>
<h2>Technology Access Without Heavy Capital Outlay</h2>
<p>Alongside service delivery, RPG supports the market through technology access and deployment, helping firms adopt reality capture solutions without the friction of high upfront investment. This lowers the barrier for smaller practices that need scanning capability on specific projects but cannot justify buying and maintaining equipment outright, and it makes RPG a useful partner for organisations modernising workflows, improving documentation quality and competing on bidding, planning and execution.</p>
<h2>A Consultative Approach</h2>
<p>With a consultative, solution-oriented approach, RPG works closely with clients to understand project goals, technical requirements and downstream workflow needs. The intent is that the deliverable is not just captured data but usable project intelligence - information formatted for the software the client already runs and the decisions they actually need to make.</p>
<h2>Who RPG Works With</h2>
<p>The company serves architects, engineers, designers, contractors, facility owners and print service providers, with offices in Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina supporting clients nationwide.</p>
<h2>Choosing a Reality Capture Partner</h2>
<p>Firms evaluating scanning providers usually compare on price per scan, but the more consequential differences sit downstream. Registration accuracy determines whether separate scan positions align into one coherent model; deliverable format determines how much rework a modelling team faces on receipt; and level of development agreed in advance determines whether a scan-to-BIM model is fit for coordination or only for reference. RPG's consultative process is aimed at settling those questions before capture begins rather than after delivery.</p>

<h2>The Practical Starting Point for AEC AI Strategy</h2>
<p>For most AEC firms, the biggest obstacle to adopting AI isn't the technology itself - it's the "data mess." Project files, CAD standards and Revit models are often scattered across disconnected servers, legacy systems and inconsistent folder structures. Before any meaningful AI strategy can take shape, firms need to first understand how their teams actually interact with this fragmented information environment on a day-to-day basis.</p>
<h2>Solving the File Hunt</h2>
<p>Rhombic's application is a lightweight Windows-based tool that sits directly on individual workstations. It addresses one of the most common and overlooked inefficiencies in AEC workflows: the "file hunt." Instead of navigating through multiple layers of folders or relying on tribal knowledge, an engineer can simply type a request such as "Open the latest Highway 99 drainage standards," and the application locates and launches the correct file instantly.</p>
<p>This may seem like a small improvement, but when multiplied across teams and projects it represents a meaningful shift in how work gets done. The typical user saves 15-20 minutes of billable time each day - time that would otherwise disappear into folder trees, shared drives and messages asking a colleague where something lives.</p>
<h2>How This Builds Your AI Strategy</h2>
<p>While your team is saving that time, the system is simultaneously performing two critical background functions that lay the foundation for a scalable AI strategy.</p>
<h3>Mapping Your Corporate Memory</h3>
<p>The tool continuously identifies where valuable resources actually live across your firm's network. Over time, it transforms what is typically undocumented institutional knowledge into a visible, queryable map of where the firm's real working assets are held - not where a folder policy says they should be.</p>
<h3>Revealing Real Usage Patterns</h3>
<p>By capturing what people search for and how they phrase it, the platform shows which standards, details and project resources are genuinely in demand and which are effectively dormant. This is the natural-language layer of an AI strategy: it records how engineers and designers describe their own work, in their own words, before any model is trained on it.</p>
<p>In other words, before you automate, you need to understand - and this is how that understanding is built.</p>
<h2>Zero-Risk, Local Execution</h2>
<p>One of the biggest barriers to AI adoption in AEC is concern around data security and compliance. This approach removes that barrier. Because the AI operates entirely on the user's local machine, no project data leaves your environment. It respects your existing permissions, folder structures and security protocols. There is no need for a major IT overhaul, cloud migration or lengthy security review process. Firms can begin implementing and seeing value almost immediately, without introducing additional risk.</p>
<h2>Why Local Deployment Matters in AEC</h2>
<p>The security question is not theoretical for design and engineering firms. Client agreements, public infrastructure contracts and confidentiality clauses frequently restrict where project data may be stored and which third parties may process it. A cloud-based assistant that indexes a firm's drives can require legal review, client notification and in some cases contract renegotiation before a single query is run.</p>
<p>A workstation-resident tool sidesteps that entire chain. Because nothing is transmitted, there is no processor to disclose, no data residency question and no new attack surface. For firms working on government, healthcare or defence-adjacent projects, this is often the difference between an AI pilot that starts this quarter and one that stalls in procurement for a year.</p>
<h2>Who Rhombic Is For</h2>
<p>The platform is aimed at architecture, engineering and construction firms that recognise AI is coming to their sector but have no clear first step - particularly small and mid-sized practices without a dedicated data team or the budget for a multi-year digital transformation programme. It suits firms whose people already know where the value is buried and simply need faster access to it.</p>
<h2>Shape the Future by Fixing Today</h2>
<p>What makes this approach powerful is that it does not require a dramatic shift in how teams work. It simply improves what they are already doing. By solving a very real, everyday problem - finding the right file - you are also laying the groundwork for something much bigger. You are building the data layer, visibility and insight needed to support future AI initiatives. In many ways, this is the most practical entry point into AI for AEC firms: start by reducing friction today, and in doing so quietly collect the intelligence needed to shape tomorrow's strategy.</p>
<h2>What Adoption Looks Like in Practice</h2>
<p>Because the tool installs per workstation rather than as firm-wide infrastructure, adoption can start with a single team or even a single project without committing the whole practice. That matters for change management as much as for IT: the people most frustrated by the file hunt tend to become the internal advocates, and their usage data is what makes the eventual firm-wide case concrete rather than aspirational.</p>

Rhombic gives AEC firms a local, zero-risk AI tool for finding CAD standards, Revit models and project files by plain-language request - the practical first ste

<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>RenoTitan Remodeling LLC is a fully insured general contractor and remodeling company based in Buffalo, New York, serving Western New York. The company handles renovation projects end to end, from design through completion, positioning itself as an all-in-one alternative to coordinating multiple trades.</p>
<p>As the company puts it: renovations shouldn't be a nightmare. RenoTitan prioritises a stress-free experience, taking care of every aspect - sourcing quality materials, providing detailed estimates, and planning each renovation step - so clients can watch their space take shape rather than manage the process.</p>
<h2>Track Record</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>500+</strong> projects completed</li>
<li><strong>850,000+</strong> square feet renovated</li>
<li><strong>95.7%</strong> on-time delivery</li>
<li><strong>4 out of 5</strong> clients recommend the company to friends</li>
</ul>
<p>The on-time delivery figure is the most telling of these for residential work, where overruns are the most common source of client dissatisfaction and where a household is often living around the work.</p>
<h2>Remodeling Services</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Kitchen remodeling</strong> - custom cabinetry, countertops and energy-efficient appliances, balancing style with the practicalities of meal preparation and entertaining</li>
<li><strong>Bathroom remodeling</strong> - tiling, space-saving storage and full renovations at any scale</li>
<li><strong>Basement finishing</strong> - converting unused space into habitable rooms</li>
<li><strong>Office remodeling</strong> - commercial and home office fit-out</li>
<li><strong>Deck building</strong> - exterior living space</li>
</ul>
<h2>Trade Services</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Flooring installation</strong> - hardwood, laminate, tile, carpet and vinyl, with guidance through material selection</li>
<li><strong>Drywall installation</strong> - walls and ceilings for new construction and renovation, with attention to smooth surfaces and precise finishing</li>
<li><strong>Interior and exterior painting</strong> - including house, concrete and garage floor painting</li>
<li><strong>Window and door installation</strong></li>
<li><strong>Plumbing</strong> - fixture replacement, repairs and system work by licensed professionals</li>
<li><strong>Electrical</strong> - wiring and panel upgrades brought up to code</li>
</ul>
<p>Holding plumbing and electrical in-house matters on renovation work. Those two trades typically govern the critical path on a kitchen or bathroom, and a contractor waiting on external subcontractors for them has limited control over the schedule it has promised.</p>
<h2>Why RenoTitan</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Free onsite estimate</strong> - clients get a clear understanding of costs before any financial commitment</li>
<li><strong>Timely project management</strong> - efficient scheduling to keep renovations on track and minimise disruption</li>
<li><strong>Fully insured</strong> - coverage safeguarding the client's investment</li>
<li><strong>Quality materials</strong> - selected to enhance durability and longevity</li>
<li><strong>Background-checked staff</strong> - all employees undergo thorough checks</li>
<li><strong>All-in-one solution</strong> - one contractor rather than several, across the full project</li>
<li><strong>Post-renovation check-ins</strong> - continued support after completion</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Three-Step Process</h2>
<h3>1. Free Onsite Estimate</h3>
<p>The team visits the property, assesses requirements, and provides a detailed and transparent estimate covering project scope and costs. A comprehensive quote follows, discussed with the client and adjusted until they are satisfied and ready to proceed.</p>
<h3>2. Timeline Review With a Supervisor</h3>
<p>Before work begins, a timeline review with an experienced supervisor aligns both parties on schedule, milestones and specific requirements. Regular milestone updates follow during the work, covering completed tasks, upcoming steps and any decisions needed - keeping the client informed and enabling collaborative decision-making.</p>
<h3>3. Final Walkthrough</h3>
<p>As the project nears completion, a final walkthrough lets the client inspect the finished work. Any remaining touch-ups or adjustments are addressed at this stage.</p>
<h2>Communication</h2>
<p>RenoTitan uses technology to maintain communication between employees, site supervisors, clients and any other parties involved in a project. On residential renovation this is frequently the difference between a smooth job and a fraught one, since the client is present throughout and uncertainty is what generates friction.</p>
<h2>Service Areas</h2>
<p>RenoTitan serves Buffalo and surrounding Western New York communities including Amherst, Williamsville, Clarence, Tonawanda, West Seneca, Hamburg, Depew, Lancaster, Orchard Park and East Aurora. The company is based at 50 Fountain Plaza, Buffalo, NY.</p>
<h2>Who RenoTitan Works With</h2>
<p>Homeowners undertaking kitchen, bathroom, basement or whole-home renovation; property owners upgrading rental or investment stock; and businesses requiring office fit-out across the Buffalo metropolitan area.</p>
<h2>Renovation Cost and Planning Guidance</h2>
<p>RenoTitan publishes guidance on the questions homeowners ask before committing, including how often a bathroom should be remodelled, what a 5x7 bathroom renovation typically costs, and which element of a bathroom remodel consumes the largest share of budget.</p>
<p>That last question has a consistent answer in practice: relocating plumbing. Moving a toilet, bath or shower from its existing position means opening floors and rerouting supply and waste, and it is the single decision most likely to move a bathroom budget from modest to substantial. Keeping fixtures in place while changing everything visible around them is the usual route to a significant visual change at controlled cost.</p>
<h2>Working Around Occupied Homes</h2>
<p>Most residential remodelling happens in houses people continue to live in, which shapes how the work must be sequenced. Dust containment, keeping at least one bathroom serviceable, restricting noisy trades to agreed hours, and leaving the site safe each evening are practical requirements rather than courtesies. The company's emphasis on supervision, milestone check-ins and minimising disruption addresses exactly this - a renovation that runs to schedule matters more to an occupant than to almost any other type of client.</p>

<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>Quantum Reality Capture LLC (QRC) is a reality capture company delivering 3D scanning, LiDAR, photogrammetry, and digital twin solutions for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC), real estate, and asset management industries across North America.</p>
<p>The company helps organisations replace outdated site documentation methods with fast, accurate and scalable reality capture, reducing risk, improving efficiency and accelerating project delivery. It operates as both a retail provider of survey-grade LiDAR scanning devices and processing software, and a professional services provider delivering Scan-to-BIM.</p>
<h2>Capture Once, Use Many Times</h2>
<p>QRC specialises in transforming physical environments into high-accuracy digital reality capture data usable throughout the entire asset lifecycle. From existing conditions documentation and pre-design planning through construction verification, operations and facilities management, teams capture reality once and leverage it repeatedly across design, construction and operations workflows.</p>
<p>That single principle is where the economics sit. A scan commissioned for design intent retains value for construction verification and later for facilities management, so the cost is amortised across phases rather than charged against one.</p>
<h2>Services and Solutions</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Existing conditions 3D scanning</strong> - survey-grade capture of as-is site and building conditions</li>
<li><strong>As-built LiDAR documentation</strong> - accurate records of what was actually constructed</li>
<li><strong>Scan-to-BIM</strong> - converting point clouds into architectural BIM models supporting design and construction workflows</li>
<li><strong>Construction progress tracking</strong> - periodic capture to verify work in place</li>
<li><strong>Clash detection support</strong> - real-world geometry checked against design models</li>
<li><strong>Virtual site walkthroughs and remote inspections</strong> - reducing the need for physical site visits</li>
<li><strong>Digital twin creation</strong> - persistent spatial records for operations</li>
</ul>
<p>These applications eliminate guesswork, reduce site visits, improve coordination, and help projects stay on schedule and within budget. On renovation and retrofit work the value is especially direct, since original drawings frequently do not match the building as it stands.</p>
<h2>Hardware and Software Portfolio</h2>
<p>QRC offers a curated portfolio of reality capture hardware and software:</p>
<ul>
<li>Professional 3D laser scanners</li>
<li>Mobile LiDAR systems</li>
<li>Photogrammetry platforms</li>
<li>Spatial data processing tools</li>
</ul>
<p>All solutions are selected to integrate with industry-standard platforms including BIM, CAD, GIS and construction management software, so customers can turn captured data into actionable insight without disrupting existing workflows. Interoperability is the practical constraint in this category - a scanner producing data that will not move cleanly into a client's chosen modelling environment creates work rather than removing it.</p>
<h2>Consultative Approach</h2>
<p>What differentiates QRC from other reality capture providers is an outcomes-driven, consultative sales approach. The company does not simply sell 3D scanners or LiDAR equipment; it delivers end-to-end solutions aligned with business objectives.</p>
<p>QRC works closely with each client to assess project requirements, operational constraints and ROI goals, then designs a tailored reality capture strategy intended to drive measurable results. Comprehensive onboarding, training and ongoing technical support are provided to ensure rapid adoption and long-term value.</p>
<p>That distinction matters because reality capture hardware is frequently under-used after purchase. Firms buy a scanner, find the processing workflow harder than expected, and revert to previous methods - so onboarding and training often determine whether the investment returns anything.</p>
<h2>Technology-Agnostic Partnerships</h2>
<p>Through strategic partnerships with leading reality capture and digital twin technology providers, QRC delivers future-ready solutions while remaining technology-agnostic. Clients can adopt the most effective tools available today while maintaining flexibility as technologies evolve and project demands scale.</p>
<h2>Accuracy and Field Performance</h2>
<p>Accuracy, reliability and performance are core to every engagement. By combining technical expertise with real-world field experience, QRC ensures its LiDAR scanning and 3D reality capture solutions perform in demanding production environments.</p>
<p>Whether capturing a single commercial building, an active construction site, or a multi-property real estate portfolio, the company delivers consistent, production-ready spatial data.</p>
<h2>Who QRC Works With</h2>
<ul>
<li>Architects and design practices</li>
<li>Engineers across structural and MEP disciplines</li>
<li>General contractors and specialty trades</li>
<li>Developers and real estate investors</li>
<li>Property owners and facility managers</li>
<li>Government and public sector bodies</li>
</ul>
<h2>Working With Quantum Reality Capture</h2>
<p>QRC positions itself as a partner for organisations seeking to modernise AEC workflows, reduce construction risk, and unlock the full value of reality capture data. By bridging the physical and digital worlds, it helps clients build smarter, operate more efficiently, and gain competitive advantage through accurate 3D reality capture and digital twin solutions.</p>
<p>Organisations can request a demonstration, speak with a reality capture specialist, or explore a tailored solution designed for their specific project requirements.</p>
<h2>Reality Capture Methods Compared</h2>
<p>The three capture methods QRC supplies serve different conditions. Terrestrial laser scanning gives the highest accuracy from fixed positions and suits detailed building documentation. Mobile LiDAR trades a degree of precision for speed, covering large sites or long linear assets in a fraction of the time. Photogrammetry derives geometry from imagery and is often the most economical route for facades, roofs and areas reachable by drone.</p>
<p>Selecting between them is a project decision rather than a preference, driven by required tolerance, site access, area covered and budget - which is where consultative supply matters more than catalogue supply.</p>

<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>ShapeDo Ltd is a venture-backed construction technology company founded in 2014, with offices in Israel and London. It makes two products: <strong>ShapeDo</strong>, a collaborative design change management platform, and <strong>Purple Hammer</strong>, a desktop application for construction PDF and spreadsheet operations covering viewing, markup, measurement, comparison, takeoff and estimating.</p>
<p>Both are built on the company's drawing alignment and comparison engine, which can take two revisions of a construction drawing and make every addition, removal and alteration visible.</p>
<h2>ShapeDo - Design Change Management</h2>
<p>Construction projects run on drawings that change constantly, and information about those changes ends up scattered across PDF tools, spreadsheets, email and document platforms. Teams can usually find the latest drawing; what they struggle to know is exactly what changed since the last revision, who needs to review it, and what it does to quantities, cost and programme.</p>
<p>ShapeDo is the project-level, collaborative platform for keeping that under control. Its capabilities include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Automatic comparison of drawing revisions, highlighting exactly what was added, removed or altered between versions</li>
<li>Structured review workflows that route each change to the people responsible for assessing it, with assigned actions tracked to closure</li>
<li>Design issue logging and RFI management connected directly to the drawings in question</li>
<li>A complete, auditable history of drawing versions, reviews and decisions across the life of the project</li>
<li>Dashboards and records showing outstanding reviews and unresolved issues at project level</li>
</ul>
<h3>Across the Project Lifecycle</h3>
<p>ShapeDo is used throughout a project. During tendering and preconstruction, teams use it to identify design movement that affects scope, quantities or price. During delivery, design managers, project managers, commercial teams and consultants use it to coordinate reviews and keep change under control.</p>
<p>At the back end of a job, its records support change substantiation, final-account negotiations, claims analysis and dispute resolution, because the project can show precisely what changed, when, why and by whom.</p>
<p>Uncaught design changes are among the most common causes of contractor losses, and the reason is structural rather than careless: a revision can alter scope without anyone flagging it, and the cost only surfaces when the work is built. ShapeDo's purpose is to make sure no change goes unseen.</p>
<h2>Purple Hammer - Desktop PDF and Estimating</h2>
<p>Purple Hammer is a single-user desktop product for macOS and Windows, built for the construction industry's daily PDF and spreadsheet operations: viewing, marking up, measuring, comparing and organising drawing sets, and pricing what gets measured.</p>
<p>It suits anyone who spends their working day in construction PDFs, including site engineers and project managers, and goes deepest for estimators, quantity surveyors, contractors and specialist subcontractors - adding live estimating spreadsheets so measurement and pricing happen in one native application instead of the usual split between a PDF tool and Excel.</p>
<h3>Connected Takeoff and Estimate</h3>
<p>Measurements - lengths, areas, perimeters and counts - flow directly into built-in worksheets, where formulas, rates and cost databases turn quantities into a priced estimate. Because takeoff and estimate stay connected, a change in one updates the other.</p>
<p>When a revised drawing is issued, Purple Hammer aligns it with the previous version, shows the changed scope, keeps existing measurements intact, and lets the user re-measure and re-price only what changed rather than starting the takeoff again. On a large tender with several revision cycles, that difference compounds into days of recovered estimating time.</p>
<h3>Performance</h3>
<p>The application is engineered for speed on real-world drawing sets:</p>
<ul>
<li>A several-hundred-sheet PDF set opens in roughly a second</li>
<li>Automatic alignment and comparison of two revisions typically completes in one to two seconds</li>
<li>Pan and zoom run at 120 frames per second</li>
</ul>
<p>Performance matters more here than it might in other software categories, because estimators work against bid deadlines and a tool that stalls on a large set simply gets abandoned.</p>
<h2>Features</h2>
<ul>
<li>Markup and annotation</li>
<li>Calibrated measurement</li>
<li>Automatic drawing alignment</li>
<li>Overlays and blink comparison</li>
<li>Area and perimeter takeoff</li>
<li>Repeated-symbol counting</li>
<li>Drawing version history</li>
<li>Live estimating worksheets with formulas</li>
<li>Export of marked-up drawings and spreadsheet data</li>
</ul>
<h2>Who Uses It</h2>
<p>General and main contractors, specialist subcontractors, estimators, quantity surveyors, design managers, commercial managers, consultants, project controls teams and construction claims professionals across the AEC industry.</p>
<h2>Use Cases</h2>
<ul>
<li>Identifying scope movement between drawing revisions during tender</li>
<li>Routing design changes to the right reviewers and tracking them to closure</li>
<li>Producing measured takeoffs and priced estimates in a single application</li>
<li>Re-pricing only the changed scope when revisions land mid-tender</li>
<li>Substantiating variations and supporting final-account negotiation</li>
<li>Assembling evidence for claims and dispute resolution</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Two Products in One Line Each</h2>
<p><strong>ShapeDo</strong> helps project teams see, review and manage design changes collaboratively, and prove what changed later.</p>
<p><strong>Purple Hammer</strong> is a fast construction PDF and spreadsheet tool for viewing, markup, measurement and comparison, with estimating built in, so users re-price only what changed when revisions land.</p>

<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>ProtoTech Solutions, founded in 2005, specialises in creating 3D engineering and construction software solutions for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) and manufacturing industries. Its stated goal is to empower innovators with disruptive solutions that reduce time to market and help meet business goals.</p>
<p>The company has completed over 200 projects for more than 250 clients across the globe. It operates from India with a team of over 120 skilled engineers, architects, designers and developers, and works with clients from inception through to implementation, crafting bespoke solutions intended to meet distinct requirements rather than force-fitting an existing product.</p>
<h2>3D Application Development</h2>
<p>ProtoTech develops 3D applications for cloud, desktop and mobile platforms using technologies including ThreeJS, HOOPS Visualize, Eyeshot, OpenGL, ARKit and ARCore.</p>
<p>That spread across web, native desktop and mobile rendering stacks is more significant than it first appears. Each has different constraints on model size, memory and performance, and the platform choice usually determines what is technically feasible in the finished product rather than the other way round. A team fluent across all three can advise on that trade-off before development starts.</p>
<h2>BIM Application Development</h2>
<p>The team specialises in BIM applications for the AEC industry, with expertise spanning:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>3D, 4D, 5D and 6D BIM</strong> - geometry through to sequencing, cost and facility management data</li>
<li><strong>CAD to BIM conversion</strong> - migrating legacy drawing sets into intelligent models</li>
<li><strong>Scan data to BIM</strong> - converting point cloud captures into structured models</li>
<li><strong>Revit family creation</strong> - parametric content libraries</li>
<li><strong>Clash detection and resolution</strong> - interdisciplinary coordination</li>
</ul>
<p>The progression through BIM dimensions matters commercially. 4D adds construction sequencing, 5D adds cost data, and 6D adds asset information for facility management, so each step moves the model further from a design deliverable toward an operational asset that retains value after handover.</p>
<h2>CAD Plugin Development</h2>
<p>ProtoTech has developed a wide range of 3D file importer and exporter plugins for popular CAD software, with more than 100 plugins published on the Autodesk App Store.</p>
<p>File interoperability remains one of the most persistent practical problems in both AEC and manufacturing workflows, because project teams rarely standardise on a single vendor's toolset. Geometry that moves cleanly between systems saves rework; geometry that does not becomes a manual remodelling exercise. A published catalogue of that size represents substantial accumulated experience in an unglamorous but commercially essential area.</p>
<h2>CAD Customisation and Automation</h2>
<p>The company streamlines CAD design workflows through automation and customisation, targeting the repetitive tasks that consume disproportionate design time. Where a firm repeats the same drawing or modelling operation across projects, automation converts hours of manual work into minutes and pays back across every subsequent job rather than only the first.</p>
<h2>AR/VR Application Development</h2>
<p>ProtoTech creates augmented and virtual reality applications for iOS, Android and web platforms. In an AEC context these support design review, stakeholder visualisation, client presentation and on-site comparison of proposed work against existing conditions.</p>
<h2>CAD Design and Drafting</h2>
<p>Alongside software development, proficient CAD designers and drafters collaborate closely with architects, engineers, contractors and design experts to deliver drafting services and production-ready 2D and 3D drawings. This gives clients the option of engaging ProtoTech as a production resource as well as a development partner.</p>
<h2>Use Cases</h2>
<ul>
<li>Software vendors building 3D or BIM capability into their own commercial products</li>
<li>AEC firms needing custom Revit or CAD tooling beyond what off-the-shelf plugins provide</li>
<li>Manufacturers requiring 3D product configurators or visualisation tools</li>
<li>Teams needing file format conversion and interoperability between CAD systems</li>
<li>Organisations deploying AR/VR for design review or site visualisation</li>
<li>Practices outsourcing 2D and 3D drafting production during peak workload</li>
<li>Firms digitising legacy drawing archives into BIM models</li>
</ul>
<h2>Who ProtoTech Works With</h2>
<p>Clients span architecture practices, engineering consultancies, contractors, product manufacturers, and construction technology companies building their own software. The company operates in two distinct modes - as a product engineering partner for organisations developing software, and as a production drafting and modelling resource for firms delivering projects.</p>
<h2>Why Firms Choose ProtoTech</h2>
<p>Two decades of continuous operation in 3D engineering software, a large in-house team combining engineering domain knowledge with software development capability, and a publicly verifiable plugin portfolio give the company a track record that can be checked rather than simply asserted.</p>
<p>For firms weighing whether to build 3D or BIM capability internally or partner for it, the deciding factor is usually whether the partner understands the engineering problem as well as the code. A team combining architects and engineers with developers is positioned differently from a general software house taking on an AEC brief for the first time.</p>
<h2>Sectors Served</h2>
<ul>
<li>Architecture and building design</li>
<li>Civil and structural engineering</li>
<li>Construction and contracting</li>
<li>Manufacturing and product design</li>
<li>Construction technology and software vendors</li>
</ul>

<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>

<li><strong>Drawing comprehension</strong> - vision-based AI reading linework, tags and cross-references, not just text</li>
<li><strong>Submittal review</strong> - checking submittals against project requirements</li>
<li><strong>RFI management</strong> - checking incoming RFIs against the contract documents and drafting new ones</li>
<li><strong>Revision narratives and overlays</strong> - generated automatically when new drawing sets are issued</li>
<li><strong>Marvin intelligence layer</strong> - ask any project question in plain English and get an instant, sourced answer</li>
</ul>
<p>Tasks that once took days of manual review can be prepared in minutes, so teams review and refine rather than start from scratch.</p>
<h2>Use Cases</h2>
<ul>
<li>Catching drawing and specification conflicts before they reach the field</li>
<li>Accelerating submittal and RFI turnaround during construction</li>
<li>Understanding what actually changed between drawing revisions</li>
<li>Answering project queries without manual document trawling</li>
<li>Reducing rework and change orders from preconstruction through closeout</li>
</ul>
<h2>Integrations</h2>
<p>Primepoint integrates natively with the systems teams already use, syncing drawings, submittals and RFIs directly with <strong>Autodesk Construction Cloud</strong> and <strong>Procore</strong> - so there are no manual uploads or disrupted workflows.</p>
<h2>Security</h2>
<p>Security is enterprise-grade. Primepoint uses a single-tenant architecture with always-on encryption, is SOC 2 Type II compliant, and never uses customer data to train external or shared AI models. Client data stays isolated.</p>
<p>For contractors, that last point is not a technicality - project documents contain commercially sensitive pricing and design information that cannot be allowed to leak into a shared model.</p>
<h2>Team</h2>
<p>Primepoint was built by a team with expertise across artificial intelligence, product, and construction. CEO Lubomir Bourdev is a founding member of Facebook AI Research and a pioneer in computer vision. The founding team includes senior product leaders from Atlassian, Uber and Microsoft, alongside construction veterans who managed large-scale projects at firms such as Webcor and Turner.</p>
<p>That pairing of AI research with lived construction experience is central to why the platform addresses both the technology and the real challenges of complex jobs.</p>
<h2>Who Uses Primepoint</h2>
<p>The platform is trusted by general contractors including Sundt Construction, Fortis Construction, Herrero Boldt Webcor, W.E. O'Neil, Milender White, and Bulley &amp; Andrews.</p>
<p>By turning static PDFs and disconnected documents into connected, actionable intelligence, Primepoint helps contractors catch risks earlier, reduce rework and change orders, and give overloaded project teams the leverage to move faster with confidence.</p>

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

<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>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>
<h2>Project Portfolio</h2>
<p>The company documents completed installations across residential rooftops, commercial buildings and battery integrations, with high-efficiency panel installations in Virginia and high-capacity battery systems in Pennsylvania.</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>

<p>From initial concept to prototype, Milestone offers product design and development solutions that help clients bring product ideas to market faster, with designs balancing creativity, functionality, and manufacturability. Advanced tools and design thinking enable businesses to innovate with confidence.</p>
<p>Holding both AEC and product design capability in one team is unusual, and useful where the two meet - fa&ccedil;ade systems, modular components and building products all sit across that boundary.</p>
<h2>Who Milestone Works With</h2>
<ul>
<li>Architects and design practices</li>
<li>Structural and MEP engineering consultancies</li>
<li>General contractors and subcontractors</li>
<li>Millwork fabricators and joinery shops</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>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>

<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>

<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.

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

<h2>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>

<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>

Ichi

<p><strong>ArchiBoost AI</strong> is an AI-powered co-pilot built specifically for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. Developed by architects and engineers rather than generic AI developers, the platform helps project teams navigate complex building regulations, activate institutional knowledge, and automatically review project documentation to identify coordination risks and compliance issues before they become costly problems.</p>
<p>ArchiBoost AI supports architects, engineers, developers, and general contractors working across the full project lifecycle&mdash;from early design through construction documentation and project delivery.</p>
<p>The platform combines three core capabilities into a unified intelligence system: Code Compliance, Knowledge Hub, and AI-powered QA/QC review.</p>
<p><strong>1. Code Compliance &mdash; Project-Aware Regulatory Intelligence</strong></p>
<p>ArchiBoost provides project-specific code compliance guidance, not just code search.</p>
<p>The system evaluates project conditions&mdash;including occupancy classification, construction type, fire separation distance, and jurisdiction&mdash;to determine the exact requirements that apply to a project. It automatically resolves the hierarchy between international, state, and municipal codes, ensuring that teams see the governing regulations rather than conflicting sources.</p>
<p>Each response includes clear explanations and direct citations to the applicable code sections, helping teams confidently apply requirements during design, documentation, and plan review.</p>
<p>By identifying compliance paths early, ArchiBoost helps teams avoid costly redesigns, permit delays, and late-stage documentation changes.</p>
<p><strong>2.1. Knowledge Hub &mdash; Institutional Intelligence for AEC Firms</strong></p>
<p>Architecture firms often possess vast amounts of knowledge scattered across project folders, standards manuals, specifications, and internal documentation. ArchiBoost transforms this information into a structured and searchable intelligence layer.</p>
<p>The Knowledge Hub organizes two key knowledge domains:</p>
<p>Firm Intelligence &ndash; reusable internal standards such as BIM execution plans, QA/QC checklists, documentation standards, master specifications, and lessons learned from previous projects.</p>
<p>Project Intelligence &ndash; project-specific information such as owner standards, design guidelines, specifications, schedules, meeting minutes, and consultant documentation.</p>
<p>This structure allows teams to quickly access relevant information without manually searching through large document repositories.</p>
<p><strong>2.2 Detail Library &mdash; A Living Library of Proven Solutions</strong></p>
<p>Within the Knowledge Hub, ArchiBoost includes a Detail Library that transforms past project details into a living, searchable resource.</p>
<p>The platform extracts metadata from drawing sets and organizes details based on parameters such as:<br>- project type<br>- construction type<br>- occupancy classification<br>- applicable codes<br>- jurisdiction<br>- client standards</p>
<p>Teams can quickly locate vetted details from previous projects and reuse them with confidence. The system integrates directly with Revit, allowing teams to insert editable details into their models without interrupting their design workflow.</p>
<p>This helps firms standardize documentation, preserve institutional knowledge, and reduce time spent recreating common solutions.</p>
<p><strong>3. AI-Powered QA/QC Review</strong></p>
<p>ArchiBoost automatically analyzes complete drawing sets&mdash;including architectural and consultant documentation&mdash;to identify coordination gaps, inconsistencies, scope omissions, and potential compliance risks.</p>
<p>Issues are surfaced through a structured ticketing system that links directly to the relevant sheet location. Teams can review findings, assign ownership, track resolution, and export issue reports for consultant coordination.</p>
<p>By identifying problems earlier in the documentation process, ArchiBoost helps reduce RFIs, change orders, and costly rework during construction.</p>
<p><strong>Who Uses ArchiBoost AI</strong></p>
<p>ArchiBoost AI is designed for:<br>- Architecture firms working across multiple jurisdictions<br>- Design teams producing large, multi-disciplinary drawing sets<br>- Developers seeking early compliance validation<br>- General contractors reviewing documentation prior to construction<br>- Firms looking to activate and scale institutional knowledge across projects and offices</p>
<p><strong>Platform Overview</strong></p>
<p>ArchiBoost AI is delivered as a cloud-based SaaS platform that integrates with existing AEC workflows and documentation processes.</p>
<p>By combining regulatory intelligence, institutional knowledge, and automated QA/QC review in one platform, ArchiBoost enables teams to identify risks earlier, make better design decisions, and deliver higher-quality projects with fewer surprises.</p>

<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">MeltBid by MeltPlan is an AI bid leveling software built for general contractors in preconstruction. The traditional bid leveling process takes estimators hours of manual work &mdash; pulling numbers from PDFs, building spreadsheets by hand, hunting for buried exclusions, and hoping nothing slips through before you award. MeltBid compresses all of that into minutes.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">The workflow is straightforward: upload your subcontractor proposals and MeltBid automatically structures them into a leveled comparison inside your own Excel template or a provided one. It works both in the browser and natively inside Excel via MeltPlan's Microsoft marketplace add-in, so estimators don't have to change how they work.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">The value, though, goes well beyond speed. MeltBid surfaces five core capabilities:</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>Bid leveling in minutes.</strong> Upload multiple proposals &mdash; PDFs from each sub &mdash; and get a fully populated line-by-line comparison in your template in under 5 minutes. Bring your own format or start from MeltBid's.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>Scope gap detection.</strong> Automatically identifies line items that one sub priced and others excluded or missed entirely. These gaps are the silent killers in preconstruction &mdash; they show up as change orders in the field, well after you've already awarded the contract.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>Exclusions and qualifications flagging.</strong> Highlights non-obvious exclusions and qualifications buried deep in bid packages &mdash; things like "fire alarm devices excluded," "roof penetrations not included," or "price valid 30 days only, subject to material escalation." The cheapest number on paper becomes the most expensive one post-award when these get missed.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>Full traceability.</strong> Every number in the leveled output links directly back to the source line in the original proposal. No black box &mdash; estimators can click any cell and see exactly which clause in which sub's PDF drove that value, with a "Mark as Reviewed" workflow to systematically work through the output.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>Natural-language AI Q&amp;A.</strong> Ask plain-English questions directly against your leveled bids: "Who is the lowest bidder and by how much?" "What did Summit exclude?" "Where's the biggest spread across bidders on mechanical?" MeltBid answers in context, scoped to the exact run you're reviewing.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">It's built for the way estimators actually work &mdash; in the browser or right inside Excel &mdash; and is aimed squarely at GCs who are tired of the bid leveling process eating their preconstruction capacity.</p>

<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>
