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;
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;
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. What used to count as exceptional is now the baseline clients expect.
Rendering has improved fast. One part of the workflow has barely moved.
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.
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.
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.
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 <a href="https://www.d5render.com/webinars/whats-new-in-d5-3-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prove it live on July 21</a>
<h2 dir="ltr">Answer "Can We See It Another Way?" On the Spot&nbsp;</h2>
This is the thinking behind <a href="https://bit.ly/d5-3-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">D5 3.1.</a>
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;
The release starts from a practical question: how does visualization stay useful once the meeting starts?
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.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech-files.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/764404fa-3db9-4d3c-b9ec-9e36afea816e.png" alt="Interactive Presentation enables real-time scene switching with slides and 3D triggers." width="1080">
<figcaption>Interactive Presentation enables real-time scene switching with slides and 3D triggers.</figcaption>
</figure>
</div>
<div>
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.
The presentation becomes a working space for the design, one the team can steer as the discussion moves.
<h2 dir="ltr">Let Clients Walk the Space Before It Exists&nbsp;</h2>
Interactive Presentation sits inside a wider set of tools aimed at making review more interactive and easier to adapt to the room.
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.
</div>
<div>
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.
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.
<h2 dir="ltr">Start Seeing the Design the Moment You Model It&nbsp;</h2>
The quality of any review depends on everything that happens before it.
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.
In practice, the visual thinking usually happens long before anyone opens presentation software, and tools have been slow to meet designers there.&nbsp;
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.
<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">
<figcaption spellcheck="false" data-qb-tmp-id="lt-724231" data-gramm="false">
Start in D5 Lite, finish in D5 Render, without switching tools
</figcaption>
</figure>
</div>
<div>
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.
<h2 dir="ltr">Photoreal That Holds Up When Clients Look Closely&nbsp;</h2>
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.
D5 Render 3.1 adds a set of production-focused improvements that strengthen realism while keeping real-time response.&nbsp;
<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">
<figcaption spellcheck="false" data-qb-tmp-id="lt-926652" data-gramm="false">ACEScg Color Space preserves richer HDR color detail and supports professional ACES workflows</figcaption>
</figure>
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.
<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">Seasonal Vegetation lets foliage and branch structure change by date, previewing all seasons in one scene</figcaption>
</figure>
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.
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.
<h2 dir="ltr">From Better Images to Better Decisions&nbsp;</h2>
Architectural visualization has spent years chasing realism. That work continues, though realism on its own no longer defines the field.
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.
<blockquote>
"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;
</blockquote>
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.
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.
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.
<h2 dir="ltr">See it live&nbsp;</h2>

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

<div><img src="https://aecplustech-files.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/5741b41d-2b98-40f9-9a96-00550e6d0a57.png" alt="InspectMind AI" width="1080"></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Most conversations about AI in construction start with speed.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&ldquo;How many hours did we save?&rdquo;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&ldquo;How many pages could we review in minutes?"&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>
<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;
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.
<h2 dir="ltr">Reading a Pictorial Language</h2>
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.
<blockquote>
"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."
&mdash; Colton Johnson, Principal Engineer, Flint Engineering Company
</blockquote>
Solorio described the second half of the problem: volume.&nbsp;
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.
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.
A Third-Party Reviewer That Works Through Lunch
<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">
<figcaption spellcheck="false" data-qb-tmp-id="lt-8150" data-gramm="false">Fig 2) Errors missed in review surface on site, where fixes cost most.&nbsp;</figcaption>
</figure>
</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>
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.
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 selected/applicable codes and references. It surfaces a prioritized set of findings while the team continues other work.&nbsp;
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;
<blockquote>
"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."
&mdash; Aakash Prasad, Co-founder and CEO, InspectMind AI&nbsp;
</blockquote>
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.
<h2 dir="ltr">From Months of Back-and-Forth to Days&nbsp;</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">
<figcaption>Fig 3) InspectMind AI tags each finding by severity, discipline, and code.&nbsp;</figcaption>
</figure>
</div>
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.
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;
A church project in California shows how that plays out. The design firm ran its full drawing set (architecture, civil, structural, and specs) 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.
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.
Garbage In, Garbage Out Still Applies
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech-files.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/88271371-af97-4945-8f3f-0a5ee2295ce9.png" alt="AI only reflects the inputs it gets." width="1080">
<figcaption spellcheck="false" data-qb-tmp-id="lt-415377" data-gramm="false">Fig 4) AI only reflects the inputs it gets.</figcaption>
</figure>
</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>
The strongest warning has always been against leaning on the tools too hard. The old 'garbage in, garbage out' rule still stands.
The software is powerful, but it sits on top of a firm's inputs, its standards, and the judgment of the people running it.
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.
<blockquote>
"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."
&mdash; Simon G. Solorio, President, Solorio Inc.
</blockquote>
Johnson framed the same idea as a sequence. He sees a working AI workflow as a three-tier system.&nbsp;
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.
<h2 dir="ltr">Own the Output</h2>
Accountability is the other side of this. When an engineer signs off on a design, they own it, whatever tools helped produce it.
<blockquote>
"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."
&mdash; Colton Johnson, Principal Engineer, Flint Engineering Company
</blockquote>
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;
<h2 dir="ltr">Built by the People Who Use It</h2>
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.
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.
That speed of iteration is the point underneath the whole conversation.
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.

Unanet Company Overview

Unanet is a leading provider of AI-first ERP and growth software for project-based businesses, with a strong focus on architecture, engineering, and construction firms. Built specifically for the way AEC companies operate, Unanet helps organizations manage the full lifecycle of work — from business development and client relationships to project delivery, financial management, and long-term growth.

Built for the Way AEC Firms Work

AEC firms face a unique set of challenges. They need to balance project delivery, staffing, utilization, profitability, client relationships, and business development — often across multiple systems that do not work well together. Unanet is designed to solve that problem by giving firms a purpose-built platform that connects the critical parts of the business in one place.

Rather than forcing AEC companies to adapt to generic enterprise software, Unanet delivers technology tailored to the realities of project-based work. That means better visibility, stronger collaboration, and faster decision-making across teams.

One Connected Platform for Better Visibility

Unanet helps unify financials, projects, and pursuits in a single intelligent environment. With built-in automation and real-time visibility, leaders can monitor project performance, understand resource needs, track profitability, and make informed decisions using current data instead of outdated reports or manual spreadsheets.

For AEC firms, this kind of connectivity matters. Margins, timelines, staffing levels, and client expectations are tightly linked, and even small gaps in visibility can affect performance. By bringing essential business functions together, Unanet helps firms operate more efficiently while creating a stronger foundation for growth.

ERP Designed for Project-Based Operations

A major part of Unanet’s AEC offering is its ERP solution for architecture and engineering firms. The platform is built to support the operational and financial needs of project-based organizations through capabilities that help teams manage:

Prospects and project pipelines
Active projects and resource plans
Time and expense tracking
Accounting and financials
Reporting and analytics

The result is a shared source of truth for project managers, finance leaders, and business development teams. Instead of working in silos, teams can align around the same data to improve planning, execution, and profitability. For firms looking to gain tighter control over utilization, staffing, and project-based accounting without adding unnecessary complexity, Unanet provides a modern, easy-to-use solution.

CRM That Supports Growth

In addition to ERP, Unanet offers CRM capabilities built specifically for the AEC market. Its CRM platform is designed to help firms strengthen relationship management, improve pipeline visibility, and support more strategic pursuit decisions.

For marketing and business development teams, this means easier access to the client, project, and opportunity data needed to create stronger proposals and presentations. For firm leaders, it means better insight into where opportunities are coming from, how relationships are developing, and which pursuits are most likely to drive profitable growth.

Practical AI for Smarter Decisions

Unanet’s position in the market is also shaped by its focus on AI and smart technology. The company’s AI-first approach is centered on practical automation, faster insights, and better business decisions. For AEC firms, that is especially relevant in an environment where teams are expected to do more with fewer resources while maintaining high standards for delivery and performance.

Rather than treating AI as a standalone add-on, Unanet presents it as a layer of intelligence built into the way the business works. This helps teams streamline tasks, improve forecasting, and focus more time on high-value work across project delivery, marketing, finance, and operations.

Trusted by Thousands of Project-Driven Firms

Unanet’s scale reinforces its position as a trusted technology partner. The company states that more than 4,200 government contractor, architecture, engineering, and construction firms rely on Unanet to help manage projects, financials, and growth.

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. 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.

Product portfolio:

GeoVision is a cloud BIM visualization 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. The plugin family captures PBR materials, lighting, and exposed metadata - notably above what stock Speckle connectors provide. 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.

Lemonate is a complete open-source 3D game engine and editor that runs entirely in the browser - built ground-up by the Luminocity team. Lemonate features a LUA scripting layer for game logic; a full engine API across rendering, physics (rigid bodies, vehicle, NavMesh), positional audio, particle systems, materials and shaders; and a broad scene-object library including Gaussian Splats. Source code is public on Codeberg. A public games gallery, community asset library, and beginner / advanced tutorial series support the developer community. Lemonate has a public roadmap committed through 2027.

3D Replicas is a productized 3D Gaussian-Splatting digital-twin pipeline for cultural heritage, museums, and architectural sites. The three-stage workflow (on-site or studio capture, 3DGS reconstruction, cloud-delivered web / VR / archive output) has produced active client work in 2026 across multiple Italian heritage sites and Swiss commercial and civic spaces. Three productized offerings are available: Interactive Web Viewer, Virtual Museum Experience (VR/AR), and Digital Archive & Collection Management Platform.

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 - on the same engineering bench that ships GeoVision's Unity 6 HDRP desktop application.

Our 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 industry-standard media servers used in some of the world's most demanding multimedia setups since 2007 (e.g. Eurovision Song Contests, large-scale 3D projection mappings, major touring productions), the MVX 2D / 3D / 4D file format and processing framework presented at Siggraph 2016, hardware-emulation work for leading VR device manufacturers, and a native Meta Quest VR application released in January 2026.

Engagement model:

Luminocity engages with external customers through a delivery-pod model. The customer describes what they need built and to what quality bar; the team handles execution internally (engineering, project management, QA all on the team's side); the customer receives working deliverables on the agreed cadence and integrates into their core stack. Engagements can be project-based or month-based, whichever fits the customer's pattern. Areas where the team is strongest: connector engineering for AEC plugins, custom AEC pipeline work on top of Speckle, front-end and viewer work in Three.js / WebGL / GLSL, AI integration in 3D pipelines, and Unity / AR/VR / XR engineering.

Headquartered in Schaffhausen, Switzerland; engineering team operates remotely across the EMEA region. English- and German-speaking. Tech stack includes C++, C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, Unity, Three.js, WebGL, OpenGL, OpenCV, AWS, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Vue.js, React, Quasar, Node.js, and .NET.

Cordax is an emerging construction technology company focused on transforming how mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems are designed and coordinated in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. Positioned at the intersection of artificial intelligence and building design, Cordax addresses one of the most persistent inefficiencies in construction workflows: the manual, time-consuming, and error-prone process of MEP coordination.

Traditionally, MEP design requires engineers and contractors to spend days or even weeks manually routing ducts, pipes, and conduits on top of architectural drawings. This process is not only labor-intensive but also highly susceptible to errors, often resulting in clashes, rework, and costly delays during construction. Cordax aims to eliminate these inefficiencies by automating the entire process. Its platform converts 2D architectural plans into coordinated, build-ready MEP layouts in minutes, significantly reducing the need for manual drafting and iteration.

At the core of Cordax’s technology is an AI-powered design engine that interprets architectural intent and generates optimized system layouts. Users can upload floor plans in formats such as PDFs or images, after which the platform automatically routes HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems while avoiding conflicts. The system also produces material takeoffs, cost estimates, and BIM-ready 3D models, enabling teams to visualize and validate designs before construction begins. This capability helps teams identify potential issues early, reducing the likelihood of costly on-site corrections.

Cordax is particularly focused on serving small to mid-sized contractors and engineering firms, a segment of the industry that has historically been underserved by advanced design technologies. Many of these firms still rely heavily on manual processes or simplified tools, leading to inefficiencies and lost margins. By offering an intuitive and accessible platform, Cordax lowers the barrier to entry for advanced digital workflows, enabling these teams to compete more effectively and scale their operations.

The company’s value proposition extends beyond speed. By automating MEP coordination, Cordax helps reduce material waste, improve design accuracy, and enhance overall project outcomes. Its system optimizes routing for constructability and efficiency, ensuring that generated designs are not only technically sound but also practical for real-world installation. This can lead to significant cost savings, as rework and design errors can account for a meaningful percentage of total project value in construction projects.

Founded in Canada and associated with innovation ecosystems such as Queen’s University and NEXT Canada, Cordax represents a new generation of AEC startups leveraging AI to modernize legacy workflows. Its mission is to empower engineers, consultants, and subcontractors to design faster and with greater confidence, ultimately improving productivity across the construction lifecycle.

In a broader industry context, Cordax reflects a growing shift toward automation and intelligence in design and preconstruction. As AEC firms increasingly seek ways to improve efficiency, reduce risk, and adopt digital tools, platforms like Cordax are poised to play a key role. By bridging the gap between architectural intent and build-ready systems, the company is helping move the industry toward a more integrated, data-driven future.

Looking ahead, Cordax has the potential to expand its impact by integrating more deeply with existing BIM ecosystems and construction workflows, including platforms like Revit and cloud-based collaboration tools. As interoperability becomes increasingly important in the AEC industry, the ability to seamlessly connect design, coordination, and construction data will be critical. If successfully executed, this could position Cordax not just as a design automation tool, but as a foundational layer in the future digital infrastructure of building delivery.

Structured is building the AI workforce for construction design engineering. Our platform automates QA/QC on engineering drawing sets, using cross-discipline vision-language agents. Every finding is returned deterministically with the exact page, location, rule, and fix. Our agents review drawing sets against code, spec, and firm standards in 30 minutes, solving the QA/QC bottleneck behind $177B in annual rework. Structured AI deploys vision-language agents that review every set against code, spec, and firm standards in 30 minutes, turning a weeks of monotonous work into a frictionless QA/QC gate. 


The platform combines vision-language models with OCR to parse drawings and identify symbolic and image-based elements (MEP symbols, structural callouts, annotations), a multi-agent review system that runs cross-discipline checks in parallel, and internal fine-tuned LLMs for natural-language reasoning over codes, specs, and firm standards. A built-in chatbot copilot handles software navigation and onboarding for a frictionless user experience.

70% of construction rework starts with errors in design drawings. Structured AI deploys vision-language agents that review every set against code, spec, and firm standards in minutes through a frictionless QA/QC gate, solving a 177bn rework problem. 

Our vision is an AECO industry where design errors no longer reach the field, where the tacit expertise engineers is translated to every project on earth. The documents that govern the built environment become a verified, defensible source of truth. The billion-dollar tax that rework imposes on construction goes to zero.

Our competitive advantage is years of domain expertise, compounded with elite commercial talent. Our CTO has spent nearly a decade building AI for the AEC industry, scouted at 18 to build innovation tools for Syska Hennessy Group. We've compounded this depth as we've scaled. Our engineering hires include software engineers with direct mechanical and electrical engineering experience, and architects.  People who have stood on jobsites and reviewed drawings themselves. Our team understands the customer because, in many cases, our team has been the customer.

Structured AI is built on agentic AI throughout the stack: vision-language models with integrated OCR parse engineering drawings and recognise symbolic, image-based, and tabular elements; a multi-agent design-review system runs code, coordination, spec, and standards checks concurrently; proprietary fine-tuned LLMs reason over project documentation with engineering-grade accuracy; and a natural-language chatbot provides in-product navigation and contextual onboarding — so the entire experience, from review to interrogation, runs on emerging AI technology. We’d love to work with architecture and engineering firms across MEP, structural, civil, and architectural disciplines: the teams that author the drawing sets every building, road, and piece of infrastructure is built from. 

We’d love to hear from design engineers, QA/QC managers, engineering directors, and principals: the people responsible for ensuring drawing sets are accurate, code-compliant, and aligned with firm standards before issuance. We serve the full size spectrum, from boutique multi-disciplinary studios to enterprise AE firms producing thousands of sheets per month. We also love to work with general contractors and owners who inherit these drawings downstream who feel the same pain  (RFIs, change orders, rework) and benefit directly when the upstream QA layer is automated.

Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc.

Allen & Company

Abbey Pynford is a UK-based ground engineering and foundation specialist that has spent more than three decades solving foundation problems for residential and commercial construction projects. Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Leighton Buzzard, England, the company has grown into a group of specialist businesses covering piled raft foundations, underpinning, mini piling, restricted-access piling, basement construction, and related ground engineering services.

The company's core strength is value-engineered foundation design. Rather than treating foundations as a fixed cost, Abbey Pynford's in-house team of structural and geotechnical engineers works to design custom foundation solutions for complex or constrained sites, aiming to reduce construction time, cost, and environmental impact compared with conventional approaches. This underwritten, design-and-build model means the company takes responsibility for the engineering design as well as the physical installation, giving contractors and developers a single point of accountability for the foundation package.

Abbey Pynford's product range reflects this specialist focus. Housedeck is a piled raft foundation system developed for residential new-build and infill sites, particularly where ground conditions such as poor soil, trees, or contamination would otherwise complicate a conventional strip or trench-fill foundation. Comdeck applies the same piled raft principle to commercial and industrial developments, supporting larger structural loads. Quickcaps is a rapid pile-cap solution designed to speed up construction programmes. Treesafe addresses foundation design on sites affected by tree root systems and clay heave, while Floodsafe is aimed at sites in flood-risk areas. Alongside these branded systems, the company also offers CFA piling, mini piling for restricted-access sites, and underpinning for both new construction and remedial work on existing structures.

The company serves a broad base of clients across the UK construction supply chain, including main contractors, property developers, groundworkers, off-site and modular builders, and structural engineering consultancies. Its work spans new residential developments, commercial and mixed-use schemes, and remedial or retrofit projects where existing foundations need to be strengthened or replaced. Because foundation failures and ground-related delays can be costly and disruptive, Abbey Pynford positions its early involvement in a project, often at the structural design stage, as a way to identify ground risk and design around it before it becomes a problem on site.

Abbey Pynford Geo Structures Ltd, the main operating entity within the group, is registered in England and continues to operate as part of the wider Abbey Pynford Group following its 2023 acquisition by construction and engineering group Conlon. The acquisition brought Abbey Pynford's ground engineering and foundation expertise together with a broader construction group, while the Abbey Pynford brand and specialist product lines have continued to operate under their established name.

For architecture, engineering, and construction professionals evaluating foundation and ground engineering partners, Abbey Pynford's combination of in-house design, proprietary piled raft systems, and specialist piling capability offers an alternative to conventional foundation contracting, particularly on sites where ground conditions, access restrictions, trees, or flood risk complicate standard foundation solutions. The company's decades of project history across residential and commercial construction give it a track record of applying its systems to a wide range of site conditions across the UK.

Replus Bureau is a London-based interior design and architecture studio known for transforming residential, commercial, and hospitality spaces through a design philosophy rooted in authenticity, heritage, and thoughtful reuse of existing materials and structures. Founded in Ukraine and now operating internationally from the United Kingdom, the studio has built a decade of experience delivering full-cycle design solutions that combine architectural planning, interior design, and renovation expertise under one roof.

The studio's core belief is that good design should respect what came before it. Rather than stripping a space down and starting from scratch, Replus Bureau's team looks for opportunities to rethink, renovate, recycle, and reformat existing elements, preserving character while introducing modern functionality. This approach has become the studio's signature architectural language, applied consistently across the wide range of project types it takes on.

Replus Bureau's service offering spans three main areas. In interior design, the team works across residential, commercial, and hospitality sectors, producing spaces for private homes, offices, restaurants, bars, retail environments, and public areas. Commercial interior design work focuses on maximizing the utility of a space for employees, visitors, and customers, while hospitality projects aim to create memorable environments for hotels, restaurants, and bars that encourage repeat visits. On the residential side, the studio designs living spaces intended to support concentration, rest, and everyday comfort.

In architecture, Replus Bureau provides planning for buildings of various types, landscape concepts, working drawings, and architectural project management, including budget cost calculation and on-site supervision. The studio positions architectural project management as a core discipline, with project managers and architects collaborating closely to ensure that every concept is delivered in line with the agreed terms, conditions, and standards, while helping clients navigate any complications with contractors along the way.

Renovation is the third pillar of the studio's work. Every renovation project begins with a detailed analysis of the client's needs and an assessment of the property's often-overlooked potential. From there, the team develops space planning and interior design proposals supported by drawings and visualizations, helps select experienced contractors, and manages the furnishing and decorating process through to completion.

Since its founding, Replus Bureau has completed more than 150 projects across Europe, with much of its early portfolio concentrated in Ukraine before the studio expanded its presence to Great Britain. The team describes this expansion as an opportunity to bring award-winning Ukrainian architectural talent to a wider international audience, and its projects have been featured in industry publications and recognized by design professionals.

Notable projects in the studio's portfolio include Alter Clinic, Tetris Holl, Suzirya, Symbol, L'Or Boutique Cafe, Velo, Lehaim Lviv, and Tatar Bunar, spanning residential interiors, hospitality venues, and large-scale commercial fit-outs. Clients the studio has worked with include well-known brands such as Intersport and SoftServe, reflecting its capability to handle both intimate residential commissions and larger commercial engagements.

Replus Bureau markets itself around the idea of end-to-end delivery: clients work with a single team from initial concept through architectural planning, interior design, and on-site project management, reducing the need to coordinate multiple vendors. For architecture, engineering, and construction professionals evaluating design partners for renovation-led or heritage-sensitive projects, Replus Bureau offers a combined architecture and interior design capability with a specific focus on reworking existing buildings rather than defaulting to demolition and new build.

Stephen George + Partners (SGP) is one of the United Kingdom's leading architectural practices, established in Leicester in 1970 and now recognized by the Architects' Journal AJ100 as one of the country's largest firms. From a single Leicester studio, the practice has grown to around 100 staff working across five offices: Leicester, which remains the head office, alongside Leeds, London, Birmingham, and Solihull. This national footprint gives SGP genuine reach across the UK while keeping the close client relationships and rapid responsiveness that have defined the practice for more than five decades.

SGP describes itself as a practice of architects and master planners, and its work spans nine sectors: logistics and industrial, healthcare, offices and workplace, education, residential, retail and mixed-use, interiors and fit-out, transport, and sports and leisure. The practice is particularly well known nationally in the industrial sector, where it has completed over 90 million square feet of floor space and delivered logistics buildings ranging from 1,000 to 1,000,000 square feet. It is actively building recognition in other sectors too, with award-winning transportation projects among its recent successes.
Beyond core architecture and master planning, SGP offers a broad set of complementary services, including BIM coordination, interior design, computer-generated imagery (CGI), and principal designer roles under both CDM and Building Safety Act requirements. Many of these capabilities sit within SGP Digital, the practice's dedicated function covering IT, BIM, CGI, automation, and AI. SGP Digital not only supports the architectural side of the business but also generates revenue in its own right through BIM and CGI services, reflecting how central technology has become to the way the practice works and grows.

That digital focus is rooted in the firm's history. SGP was one of the first practices in Leicester to give every member of technical staff an individual workstation, positioning itself at the forefront of technology from an early stage. The practice continues to see digital capability as a competitive differentiator, and in 2022 achieved formal ISO 19650 recognition for its ability to deliver projects to internationally recognized information management standards.

The practice is guided by a clear set of values, summed up in the phrase "we care, we challenge, we deliver," and reinforced by its reputation for quality, reliability, and integrity. SGP listens to clients, challenges them constructively to produce the best possible outcome, and is widely respected for its ability to deliver, including taking over schemes at concept stage and carrying them through to completion. Its commitment to social and environmental responsibility is well established: the practice won an RIBA President's Medal for a book on sustainable building materials, written around its Sustainable Construction Academy project in Dartford.

Looking ahead, SGP is focused on digital transformation and the shift from delivering drawings, schedules, and specifications to delivering structured project data that supports assets through construction and into operation. Emerging priorities include digital twins, data-driven decision making, point cloud processing, automation, and the careful, considered adoption of AI, all underpinned by an increasing focus on security. To support these ambitions, the practice has invested in a modern, resilient, cloud-based IT estate, giving its teams the performance, flexibility, and confidence to grow and to keep designing exceptional buildings for their clients.

Creative ITC

Creative ITC are established as a multi award winning IT infrastructure and Managed Cloud Services Provider specializing in the AEC Sector working with many of the top Architecture firms globally.

Lagarsoft is an AEC software development company headquartered in Montevideo, Uruguay, building production-grade software for the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Real Estate, and Property Tech industries. Founded in 2019 by senior engineers out of CASE Inc. and WeWork, the team brings more than a decade of experience shipping software inside the built environment, combining backgrounds in architecture, real estate, data analysis, automation, software development, and agile management. 

Lagarsoft operates as a US company that is Uruguay-based and globally distributed, with senior engineers and architects working together across the Americas.

The company's origin gives it a distinctive perspective. Its founders first met at CASE, a global Building Information Modeling consultancy that pioneered the idea that "buildings = data," using technology to reshape how architecture and construction teams worked. After CASE was acquired by WeWork, the team helped build software to manage WeWork's massive real estate portfolio. When WeWork closed its Uruguay office, the team chose to continue that vision independently, founding Lagarsoft to bring data-driven, agile software solutions to AEC firms worldwide.

Lagarsoft is an Autodesk Platform Services (APS) Certified Partner. The company designs and ships custom Autodesk software on APS, including Viewer integrations, Model Derivative pipelines, Data Exchange flows, Design Automation jobs, and AEC Data Model queries running in production. It also builds custom Revit plugins that extend the native toolset, automate repetitive tasks, and bridge Revit to the rest of the technology stack so that the model is not the end of the line. Output flows into web viewers, dashboards, generative design platforms, and field tooling. Beyond the Autodesk ecosystem, the same engineering bench handles broader custom AEC software development, from systems coordination and clash detection tooling to portfolio platforms and investor dashboards.
Engineering rigor is central to Lagarsoft's positioning. The company emphasizes production readiness: authentication, secrets handling, dependency hygiene, and audit trails as a baseline, with CI, observability, and a clear rollback path in place before the first deploy. The team favors reliable, well-understood infrastructure such as databases, queues, and caches that hold up under real production load. Increasingly, Lagarsoft helps industrial, manufacturing, AEC, and logistics companies take AI-built applications to production, layering senior engineering discipline around modern AI tooling.

Engagements typically begin with a Build Audit, a focused working session with senior engineers followed by a concise one-page memo delivered within forty-eight hours. From there, work continues as an Embedded Pod: senior engineers operating on a sprint cadence with scoped work and transparent management, adjusted as it unfolds and shaped by what is actually shipping. The company also offers consulting, where it reads the codebase, reviews deploys, and identifies where existing systems are fragile, mapping current processes and technologies against what production-grade looks like for the size and risk of the business.

Lagarsoft's core competencies span BIM, AECO, APIs, Revit, mobile and web development, machine learning, and data analysis. By pairing deep domain knowledge of the built environment with senior software engineering, Lagarsoft helps teams across architecture, engineering, construction, MEP, and real estate get more done with software that performs reliably in real-world production conditions.

We are engineers with a background in architecture, real estate, data analysis, automation, software development, and agile management. We have spent the last decade shipping production software inside the AEC industry.

Redefining Engineering Intelligence
Built for industries where precision cannot fail.
Engineering projects do not fail because of the people. They fail because no one made the risks visible in time. ZestineTech bridges engineering and technology to change that — delivering intelligence before it is needed, not after it is too late.
We are an engineering software company building intelligent tools for project delivery teams across architecture, construction, infrastructure, oil and gas, manufacturing, and enterprise operations. Founded by engineers who worked inside complex project environments, ZestineTech was built from a single conviction: the tools available to engineering teams had not kept pace with the complexity those teams were being asked to manage.
That gap — between what engineering workflows demand and what existing software delivers — is exactly where ZestineTech operates.

Who We Are
ZestineTech is a focused, purpose-driven software company headquartered in Pennsylvania, USA, serving engineering and project delivery organizations globally. Our team carries over a decade of direct experience working within engineering environments — not studying them from the outside, but operating inside them at the level where real problems live.
We understand the coordination failures that happen weeks before a review. We know the unauthorized changes that go undetected until they become expensive. We have seen the operational inefficiencies that compound quietly until they become project risks. We build software to solve those problems — precisely, honestly, and without unnecessary complexity.
Engineering done right. The first time.

Who We Serve
ZestineTech operates where precision is not optional and the cost of being wrong is measured in project weeks, not corrections. The teams we serve carry accountability for project accuracy every day and cannot afford to discover what went wrong after it already has.
We serve engineering-led industries across global markets:
AEC — Architecture, Engineering & Construction: Smarter delivery for teams working where coordination failures cost time and money. 
Oil & Gas: Precision-driven engineering tools for complex industrial environments where operational accuracy and compliance are non-negotiable. 
Sustainability & Infrastructure: Engineering the systems that make sustainability measurable, manageable and built to last. 
Manufacturing: Reducing inefficiency and rework across manufacturing operations through intelligent workflow control and process automation. 
Enterprise Operations: Bringing structure, visibility, and automation to large-scale operations that cannot run on manual oversight. 

The Standard We Build To
Clarity — Actionable visibility. No noise. No ambiguity. Engineering teams deserve tools that make complexity legible, not compound it.
Precision — Engineered for accuracy. Built for the real world. We hold our products to the same standard we expect from the workflows they support.
Honesty — Transparent insight. Grounded in reality. We build what works. We say what is true. We do not oversell.
Control — Stay ahead of risk. Operate with confidence. The best tools give teams more visibility and confidence, not less.

Why ZestineTech
Most engineering software is built by software companies. ZestineTech is built by engineers who understand what it costs when workflows break down — in rework, in delays, in coordination failures that should have been caught earlier.
That origin shapes everything: the problems we choose to solve, the standard we hold our products to, and the commitment we bring to every team that relies on our software. We exist to bring intelligence earlier into engineering and operations — helping teams identify risks before coordination breaks down, before delivery is impacted and before small issues become expensive problems.

ZestineTech

Bimrock AI is a construction technology company building automation tools for MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) designers and engineers working in Autodesk Revit. Our mission is to eliminate repetitive manual workflows that consume engineering hours - replacing them with intelligent, profile-based automation that lets MEP professionals focus on design, not documentation busywork.                                                   

The Problem We're Solving

MEP engineering teams spend a disproportionate amount of their project time on repetitive, low-value tasks. Annotation alone - placing tags on ductwork, piping, electrical panels, fixtures, and equipment across dozens of floor plan views - can consume entire workdays on a single building. Multiply that across disciplines, floors, and projects, and firms lose thousands of billable hours annually to work that follows predictable, repeatable patterns. These are exactly the kinds of workflows that should be automated, but until now, haven't been - at least not without custom Dynamo scripts, manual workarounds, or expensive enterprise platforms that require months of implementation.

Bimrock AI exists to close that gap. We build tools that are powerful enough for complex MEP workflows but accessible enough that any Revit user can adopt them immediately — no scripting, no code, no lengthy onboarding process.

Our Flagship Product: Autotag by Bimrock AI

Autotag by Bimrock AI is our first product, focused on automating MEP annotation in Autodesk Revit. It replaces manual tag placement with a profile-based system: users define tagging rules once - selecting MEP categories, tag families, filters, and placement preferences - then apply those rules to any number of views. The tool handles intelligent tag positioning, automatic overlap avoidance, and batch processing across entire building documentation sets.

Key capabilities include:

- Profile-Based Automation — Create reusable annotation profiles that work like View Templates but for tags. Define standards once, enforce them consistently across every project and every team member.

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

- Batch View Processing — Queue 40 or more views and process them in a single operation. Tag an entire building's documentation set — across all MEP disciplines and floor levels — while you focus on higher-value design work.

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

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

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

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

Autotag saves MEP teams 30–60 minutes per floor plan on annotation tasks. When batch-processing full documentation sets, teams report saving 2–4 hours per building. For firms producing dozens of projects annually, the compounding time savings translate to hundreds of recovered billable hours.

Autotag supports Revit 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027, runs on Windows 10 and later, and includes a free trial with no credit card required.

Our Platform Vision: Automated MEP Design

Autotag by Bimrock AI is the starting point - not the destination. We are building toward a comprehensive Automated MEP Design platform that covers the full spectrum of MEP engineering workflows within Autodesk Revit:

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

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

3. Rapid Design: Computational and generative design tools for MEP system layout, including HVAC network analysis, pressure drop calculations, and system optimization. These tools bring building performance intelligence directly into the design workflow - enabling engineers to evaluate and iterate on MEP systems faster than traditional manual methods allow.

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

Each product in the platform shares the same core philosophy: profile-based automation. Define your rules, standards, and preferences once, then let the tools apply them consistently and intelligently across your entire project. This approach scales from solo consultants managing their own workflows to enterprise firms standardizing processes across hundreds of team members and multiple offices.

Who We Serve

Bimrock AI serves the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry - specifically MEP engineering professionals across all project types: commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, healthcare, and data center projects. Our tools are designed for:

  - Solo MEP designers and consultants who need to move fast and deliver high-quality documentation without a large support team
  - Team leads and BIM managers who need to enforce consistent  standards across projects and team members
  - MEP firms looking to standardize documentation quality, reduce QC review cycles, and recover billable hours lost to manual workflows
  - General contractors and design-build firms that need efficient, reliable MEP documentation as part of their integrated project delivery

Technology and Data Security

Bimrock AI's platform runs on Google Cloud Platform with industry-standard security certifications. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Customer data uploaded for processing is automatically deleted within 60 days.

We do not use customer data to train AI models. Customers retain full ownership of all output — tagged views, reports, and exported data remain theirs entirely.

Wyatt is the company behind WyattERP, an agentic AI platform built specifically for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms and government contractors (GovCon). WyattERP changes how project-based businesses work with their own data—replacing rigid reports, manual exports, and disconnected tools with intelligent agents that act on your behalf.

At the core of WyattERP is a simple idea: you should be able to describe what you need and have it built for you. Whether that's a custom application, an automated workflow, or a live operational dashboard, WyattERP's agents turn plain-language requests into working software. This app-building approach brings the speed and accessibility of modern AI development to firms that have never had the time, budget, or technical staff to build their own tools.

What sets WyattERP apart is native access to enterprise systems. Most AI tools sit on the outside, limited to whatever you can paste into a chat window. WyattERP works directly with your live project, financial, and time data—the information that actually runs your business. That means answers grounded in real numbers, automations that touch the systems of record, and dashboards that reflect what's happening right now rather than last month's export.

WyattERP is organized around a team of specialized agents, each focused on a distinct part of running a project-based firm. Agents handle areas like timekeeping and timesheet management, accounts payable and bill review, financial analysis, project tracking, business development, and intelligent search across your documents and records. Working together, they function less like a chatbot and more like an always-available operations team that understands the way AEC and GovCon firms actually operate.
The platform centers on three core capabilities. Chat lets anyone ask questions in plain language and get accurate answers drawn from real ERP data. Chores are scheduled, autonomous tasks that run in the background—reconciling data, flagging issues, and keeping work moving without manual effort. Roundups are AI-generated dashboards that assemble the metrics that matter into clear, current views for principals, project managers, and finance teams.

Security and data isolation are foundational, not afterthoughts. WyattERP enforces role-based access control at both the row and column level, so people only see the data they're authorized to see. Each customer runs on a single-tenant database with isolated credentials, ensuring that sensitive project financials, labor data, and contract information remain private and protected—a critical requirement for GovCon firms operating under strict compliance obligations.

WyattERP is purpose-built for the realities of project-based work: complex project structures, detailed labor and time tracking, multi-layered financials, and the compliance demands unique to government contracting. Rather than forcing firms to adapt to generic software, WyattERP adapts to the way these businesses already run—and gives them the ability to extend and automate without waiting on a development queue.

For AEC and GovCon firms looking to do more with the data and systems they already have, Wyatt offers a new path: less time wiring up tools and chasing reports, and more time building. With agentic AI, native enterprise access, and the ability to spin up custom apps and workflows on demand, WyattERP helps firms move faster, operate smarter, and put their own data to work.


Wyatt, Inc.

Wyatt builds WyattERP, an agentic AI platform for AEC and GovCon firms. Describe what you need and its agents build it—custom apps, automated workflows, and live dashboards—all with native access to your project, financial, and time data. Less time wiring up systems, more time building.

INTON Business Strategy Consultant is a Fort Washington, PA-based management and technology consultancy specializing in workplace strategy, design program management, and AI-powered tools for the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. Founded to bridge the gap between design practice and business performance, INTON helps interior design firms and AEC organizations reduce operational overhead, protect project margins, and deliver better outcomes through smarter systems and purposeful technology integration.
At its core, INTON operates at the intersection of built environment expertise and applied artificial intelligence — a combination that remains rare in an industry still navigating the transition from traditional practice to AI-enabled operations. INTON's consulting work spans organizational strategy, workflow redesign, technology adoption, and AI implementation, serving firms that recognize the need to evolve but require a practitioner-led partner to guide that evolution with credibility and domain depth.
INTON was founded by Mourad Elshokiry, a design and construction professional with 15+ years of international experience, an MBA from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, a BFA from the University of Alexandria, a certificate in Hotel Real Estate Development and Asset Management from Cornell University, and CPMAI certification in enterprise AI management. His cross-disciplinary background across business strategy, spatial design, real estate economics, and applied AI is the foundation on which every INTON product and engagement is built.
INTON's AI practice is built on serious technical depth. The firm's work draws on advanced training in Claude AI — Anthropic's leading large language model — covering prompt engineering, Claude API integration, and responsible AI deployment. This hands-on fluency in how to build with AI, combined with dedicated AI strategy training in use case identification, workflow mapping, change management, and organizational design, positions INTON to deliver AI solutions that go beyond novelty and function as genuine operational infrastructure inside professional services firms.
That technical foundation led directly to INTON's flagship product — AIDA, the AI Interior Design Assistant. Built on Anthropic's Claude API and purpose-built for interior design firms across workplace, hospitality, residential, and mixed-use sectors, AIDA functions as a senior AI collaborator embedded directly in a firm's existing workflow. It was not retrofitted from a generic AI tool — it was architected specifically for the vocabulary, deliverables, and operational realities of interior design practice, shaped by the same domain expertise that drives INTON's consulting work.
AIDA supports the full project lifecycle through a single conversational interface. Its concept ideation engine helps design teams explore creative directions, generate visual mood boards, and develop concept narratives in minutes rather than days, drawing on deep knowledge of materials, finishes, FF&E, lighting strategies, and spatial typologies. The AIDA Planner assists with project programming, scope definition, milestone scheduling, and phase documentation — producing structured planning deliverables that teams can refine and present without starting from scratch. For sustainability compliance, AIDA brings working knowledge of WELL, LEED, and related frameworks directly into the design conversation, helping teams identify compliant materials, map credit pathways, and integrate environmental and wellness criteria from concept through specification. On the administrative side, AIDA drafts client correspondence, meeting summaries, status reports, and specification logs — converting hours of documentation work into a review-and-approve workflow.
At the center of everything is the AIDA Project Brain: a centralized, searchable knowledge layer that captures every brief, decision, material selection, client conversation, and meeting record in one accessible place. Designers can query any project in plain language and retrieve accurate, context-rich answers instantly — ensuring institutional knowledge stays with the firm, not scattered across inboxes, shared drives, and personal notebooks.
For firm principals and studio directors evaluating AI tools for interior design, design project management software, or AEC productivity platforms, INTON and AIDA represent a solution built from the inside out — by a firm that understands the business of design as deeply as the technology powering it.

Designed to understand 2D CAD files, blueprints, floor plans, and technical drawings, Kamai helps teams automate document review, quantity extraction, design analysis, and construction intelligence through a powerful AI platform and developer-friendly API.

Unlike generic AI tools, Kamai is purpose-built for the complexity of construction documentation. It combines a specialized foundation model for CAD with an advanced blueprint parser that can read, interpret, and structure information from 2D drawings. Whether users are analyzing architectural plans, engineering sheets, permit sets, construction drawings, or CAD exports, Kamai turns static files into searchable, usable, AI-ready data.

At the core of Kamai is its 2D CAD foundation model, designed to understand the geometry, symbols, annotations, layers, dimensions, schedules, and spatial relationships found in technical drawings. This allows Kamai to do far more than basic OCR. It can recognize rooms, walls, doors, windows, fixtures, equipment tags, measurements, material callouts, and construction details. By combining visual AI, geometric reasoning, and domain-specific construction knowledge, Kamai enables teams to interact with drawings in a faster and more intelligent way.

Kamai’s blueprint parser API allows businesses to integrate AI-powered drawing intelligence directly into their own software, workflows, and platforms. Developers can use the API to upload blueprints, process CAD files, extract structured data, detect objects, classify drawing elements, compare revisions, and answer natural language questions about project documents. This makes Kamai a powerful infrastructure layer for construction technology companies, estimating platforms, property technology tools, design software, and enterprise project management systems.

For estimators, Kamai can accelerate takeoffs by identifying quantities, dimensions, areas, counts, and material information from 2D plans. For architects and engineers, it can support drawing review, design coordination, and issue detection. For contractors, it can help parse bid sets, compare drawing revisions, summarize changes, and reduce manual review time. For owners and developers, Kamai makes complex construction documents easier to understand and query.

As a vertical AI agent for 2D CAD and blueprints, Kamai is optimized for industry-specific workflows. Users can ask questions such as, “How many doors are shown on Level 1?”, “What is the total square footage of office space?”, “Find all rooms with tile flooring,” or “Compare this drawing revision to the previous version.” Kamai can parse the relevant sheets, analyze the visual and textual data, and return structured answers that help teams move faster.

Kamai helps transform construction documents from static files into intelligent data assets. Traditional blueprint review often requires hours of manual work across large plan sets, especially when teams need to extract details from multiple sheets or identify changes between revisions. Kamai uses AI to reduce repetitive work, improve accuracy, and make project information more accessible.

For companies building AI-native construction workflows, Kamai provides the foundation: a 2D CAD AI model, a reliable blueprint parser, and a scalable API for technical drawing intelligence. Whether used as a standalone vertical AI agent or embedded into enterprise software, Kamai enables smarter, faster, and more automated construction decision-making.

Kamai is redefining how teams work with 2D CAD, blueprints, and building documentation. With AI-powered parsing, CAD understanding, and API-first infrastructure, Kamai gives the built environment a new intelligence layer for design, construction, and real estate workflows.

Melt Takeoff is built for estimators who need takeoffs that are not just fast, but truly bid-ready and reliable. Unlike fully automated takeoff software that only measures what&rsquo;s drawn, Melt Takeoff is designed around a simple truth: winning bids requires accounting for what&rsquo;s missing from plans &mdash; the scope gaps, incomplete details, coordination conflicts, and implied work that experienced estimators catch through judgment.
Melt Takeoff combines AI vision with expert estimator validation to deliver takeoffs with both speed and accuracy. The workflow is simple: upload plans, the AI measures and identifies scope, flags drawing/spec conflicts, adds allowances, and then senior estimators validate everything before delivery. This hybrid model is what makes Melt Takeoff dependable &mdash; AI accelerates measurement, but real estimators ensure completeness and constructability.
Key capabilities include:
<ul data-start="923" data-end="1834">
<li data-start="923" data-end="1042">
AI Vision measurement detecting 800+ building elements with counts, lengths, perimeters, areas, and volumes
</li>
<li data-start="1043" data-end="1129">
Automated scope recognition across architectural, structural, and MEP drawings
</li>
<li data-start="1130" data-end="1256">
Detailed allowances for scope not shown, added as itemized ROMs based on code requirements and real project benchmarks
</li>
<li data-start="1257" data-end="1351">
Drawing&ndash;spec conflict detection, with estimator-led resolution before it hits your bid
</li>
<li data-start="1352" data-end="1528">
Estimator-verified outputs, reviewed by onshore senior estimators with 20+ years of field experience, including delivery of multi-million to billion-dollar projects
</li>
<li data-start="1529" data-end="1691">
Flexible classification standards, supporting MasterFormat&reg;, UniFormat&reg;, or custom structures, so takeoffs drop directly into your estimating workflow
</li>
<li data-start="1692" data-end="1834">
Interactive takeoff output, with side-by-side plan review, traceable quantities, and clean Excel exports ready for pricing and bidding
</li>
</ul>
Melt Takeoff is designed for speed without sacrificing trust. Quantities aren&rsquo;t just dumped into a spreadsheet &mdash; they&rsquo;re delivered in a structured, reviewable format so teams can validate quickly, collaborate internally, and confidently move into bid submission. The output stays fully in your control: review, adjust, and export clean files without messy reformatting.
Melt Takeoff delivers a takeoff process that is 40% more accurate, 20% faster, and 10% cheaper, with turnaround times ranging from 2&ndash;3 days for small projects to 7&ndash;8 days for extra-large projects. The result is fewer missed scope items, stronger bid coverage, reduced risk of underbidding, and significantly more confidence in your numbers &mdash; so estimators can bid faster and win more work.

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.
The platform combines three core capabilities into a unified intelligence system: Code Compliance, Knowledge Hub, and AI-powered QA/QC review.
1. Code Compliance &mdash; Project-Aware Regulatory Intelligence
ArchiBoost provides project-specific code compliance guidance, not just code search.
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.
Each response includes clear explanations and direct citations to the applicable code sections, helping teams confidently apply requirements during design, documentation, and plan review.
By identifying compliance paths early, ArchiBoost helps teams avoid costly redesigns, permit delays, and late-stage documentation changes.
2.1. Knowledge Hub &mdash; Institutional Intelligence for AEC Firms
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.
The Knowledge Hub organizes two key knowledge domains:
Firm Intelligence &ndash; reusable internal standards such as BIM execution plans, QA/QC checklists, documentation standards, master specifications, and lessons learned from previous projects.
Project Intelligence &ndash; project-specific information such as owner standards, design guidelines, specifications, schedules, meeting minutes, and consultant documentation.
This structure allows teams to quickly access relevant information without manually searching through large document repositories.
2.2 Detail Library &mdash; A Living Library of Proven Solutions
Within the Knowledge Hub, ArchiBoost includes a Detail Library that transforms past project details into a living, searchable resource.
The platform extracts metadata from drawing sets and organizes details based on parameters such as: - project type - construction type - occupancy classification - applicable codes - jurisdiction - client standards
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.
This helps firms standardize documentation, preserve institutional knowledge, and reduce time spent recreating common solutions.
3. AI-Powered QA/QC Review
ArchiBoost automatically analyzes complete drawing sets&mdash;including architectural and consultant documentation&mdash;to identify coordination gaps, inconsistencies, scope omissions, and potential compliance risks.
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.
By identifying problems earlier in the documentation process, ArchiBoost helps reduce RFIs, change orders, and costly rework during construction.
Who Uses ArchiBoost AI
ArchiBoost AI is designed for: - Architecture firms working across multiple jurisdictions - Design teams producing large, multi-disciplinary drawing sets - Developers seeking early compliance validation - General contractors reviewing documentation prior to construction - Firms looking to activate and scale institutional knowledge across projects and offices
Platform Overview
ArchiBoost AI is delivered as a cloud-based SaaS platform that integrates with existing AEC workflows and documentation processes.
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.

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

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

Savills is a global real estate advisor. Lotte De Jong, a workplace consultant on the firm's occupier services team in Amsterdam, first got hands-on with laiout when Savills itself was weighing whether to expand its current office, the same stay-or-move decision her team helps occupier clients make every day. Like most of the businesses she advises, architecture and design aren't Savills' core service, so building a business case around a specific layout had always meant depending on an external architect, a step that took time neither Savills' own leadership nor her clients' leadership teams could always spare.

Testing scenarios internally worked differently once laiout entered the picture. Rather than waiting on an outside designer for every "what if we tried this instead," Lotte could adjust headcount, work patterns and building options herself and show the leadership team the consequence immediately. The same capability has since become part of how she runs business cases for Savills' occupier clients: instead of a set of static options handed over after days of drafting, leadership sees the layout reshape live, in the room, and reacts to it together.

The change, Lotte says, is that conversations stop going in circles. Assumptions about what is or isn't physically possible in a space get settled on the spot rather than argued over static PDFs, which has made the business cases Savills builds, for its own office and for its clients' offices alike, faster to agree and easier for leadership to commit to.

Artefact is a UK property and technology advisory firm. Like many of the businesses it works with, Artefact faced the recurring challenge of finding a new office. Chris de Gruben, Head of AI in Property at Artefact, led the search across London and ran into the usual bottleneck: every viewing produced a different set of floor plans, and turning those into something the leadership team could align on meant weeks of marking up PDFs, sending them to an interior designer, waiting for a revision, and starting again. By the time everyone agreed on a direction, the space, or the landlord's patience, had often moved on.

One viewing worked differently. The agent met Artefact's leadership team on site with the building's floor plates preloaded into laiout on an iPad. As the team walked the space, they reconfigured the layout together in real time, adding meeting rooms, opening up collaboration space, testing headcount scenarios as they talked. The building was the most complex option on the shortlist, a former incubator split into many small offices that the leadership team had struggled to picture as a single floor. Seeing it reshape live, in the room, changed that.

Artefact leased the space. The deciding factor, according to de Gruben, was simply the ease of changing the layout live with the whole leadership team present.

Ditt Officemakers is a design and build firm in the Netherlands that advises landlords and tenants on how to get the most out of commercial space. Before laiout, every test-fit meant a designer spending around ten hours in CAD, building a single layout from scratch for a single brief. Responding to more than one client in a day was not realistic, and every change in headcount or spatial mix meant starting the drawing again.

Ditt used laiout to build 'Smart Moves', a client-facing advisory service that puts space planning back into the room with the client. A designer now uploads a floor plate, generates a compliant layout in minutes, and iterates live on headcount and spatial mix without redrawing anything. What used to take a full morning for one scenario now takes half an hour for several, complete with fit-out costs, and can be done on-site during a client meeting rather than emailed over days later.

The impact shows up in two places. Internally, the team now produces ten layouts in the time it used to take to produce one, freeing designers to spend more time on higher-value design work instead of repetitive drafting. Externally, Ditt can respond to a tenant brief within a week, a turnaround the team describes as unheard of in their market, and has used on-the-spot scenario generation to give a landlord the confidence to lease a vacant floor within a month. laiout did not just speed up Ditt's existing process. It let them package a faster, more transparent client experience as a service in its own right.

Stephen George + Partners (SGP) is one of the UK's leading architectural practices. Founded in 1970 and ranked among the AJ100, the firm designs across commercial, residential, education, healthcare, and industrial sectors from offices across the UK and internationally, with teams working daily in demanding CAD and BIM applications.

Like many established practices, SGP had reached the limits of managing its own on-premise infrastructure. Maintaining servers and desktops in house consumed time and budget the firm wanted directed at design, collaboration, and project delivery. Securing confidential plans across multiple locations, and giving designers consistent performance wherever they worked, was becoming harder to sustain on aging hardware.

SGP partnered with Creative ITC to replace its on-premise desktops with high-performance cloud VDI, adopting Creative ITC's Everything as a Service (XaaS) model. Design teams gained secure, flexible access to their CAD and BIM applications from any location, while the firm moved from managing infrastructure to consuming it as a fully managed, predictable service.

The result was a simpler IT estate, lower cost, and the freedom to focus on core architectural work rather than maintenance. With infrastructure no longer a constraint, SGP can scale and adapt as the practice grows. As the firm reflects, the value came from Creative ITC's understanding of how technology is applied in the AEC industry, giving it the confidence to plan for the future.

The City of Riviera Beach, Florida faced a challenge common to growing municipalities: planning staff were spending the majority of their day answering routine zoning inquiries instead of focusing on high-value work like large-scale site plan reviews and strategic urban planning.

Senior Planner Juan Suarez was fielding 10+ walk-in and phone inquiries every week — each requiring manual cross-referencing of GIS maps, PDF zoning codes, and Future Land Use maps. Questions like "What is my property zoned for?" or "Can I open a gym at this address?" sound simple but consumed up to 75% of staff time daily.

Conflation Labs deployed a customized AI Site Plan and Zoning Agent that connected the city's authoritative data sources — including ArcGIS parcel layers, Chapter 31 Zoning Codes, and the Comprehensive Plan — into a single conversational interface.

The AI agent enables planning staff to ask complex zoning questions in plain English and receive instant, map-based answers. It also performs automated site plan review, flagging code violations such as parking dimension errors and landscape buffer issues by reading submitted plans directly against municipal regulations.

The result: a 75% reduction in routine inquiry time and 20 hours per week returned to planning staff — time now spent on strategic, high-value work that moves the city forward.

Automating Municipal Planning in the City of Riviera Beach

Architects and landscape architects lose days to a process that should take minutes: checking whether a site plan actually complies with local zoning codes, setback requirements, overlay restrictions, and municipal development standards.
The current workflow is broken.
Your team submits a plan. The planning department reviews it &mdash; days or weeks later &mdash; and sends back redlines for issues that could have been caught on day one. Setbacks are off. A use isn't permitted in that zone. An overlay district adds restrictions nobody flagged. The design goes back. The timeline slips. The client asks questions.
Conflation Labs is the AI site plan review agent that catches those issues before submittal.
&nbsp;
HOW IT WORKS:
Upload your site plan or enter the project address. Conflation Labs cross-references your drawings against the jurisdiction's actual zoning code, parcel data, GIS layers, and development standards &mdash; not a generic database. The AI identifies compliance gaps, flags setback violations, checks permitted uses, and surfaces overlay restrictions that apply to your specific site.
You get a clear, actionable compliance report &mdash; with visual map output &mdash; before the plan ever reaches a planning counter.
&nbsp;
WHAT IT REVIEWS:
 &rarr; Setback compliance (front, rear, side &mdash; including corner lot variations) &rarr; Zoning designation and permitted use confirmation &rarr; Overlay district restrictions (historic, flood, design review zones) &rarr; FAR, lot coverage, and building envelope standards &rarr; Parking minimums and access requirements &rarr; Conditional use permit triggers
&nbsp;

This case study showcases how MeltCode, MeltPlan’s Code Research AI, is helping architectural firms dramatically reduce the time, cost, and uncertainty associated with building code compliance. Building code research is one of the most time-consuming and high-risk parts of design, often requiring architects to spend 50–300 hours per project flipping through codebooks, navigating keyword searches, and chasing endless cross-references just to ensure they interpret requirements correctly. 

The case study highlights measurable organizational impact reported by firms after adopting MeltCode, including 30% less spend on code consultants, 45% faster code research, and 25% fewer inquiries from junior architects, meaning fewer escalations to principals and senior staff. 

A key takeaway is that MeltCode is built differently from generic AI tools like ChatGPT, which often hallucinate or cite incorrect sources—forcing architects to double-check everything and sometimes restart research from scratch. MeltCode solves this by using an AI system that only reads building codes (not the internet) and comprehensively interprets code content, including tables and images. It delivers answers in 1–4 minutes, supported by confidence scores and detailed reasoning where each step is backed by direct code citations. 

To validate performance, MeltCode was continuously tested using building inspector exams, where it achieved 95%+ scores across multiple inspector exam types, reinforcing its accuracy and construction-aware reasoning. 

Melt Code AI for reliable building code research

MeltPlan is the AI-native planning engine for the built environment, built to help architects, engineers, and contractors plan projects better &mdash; earlier, faster, and with far more confidence. Construction planning today is still fragmented across disconnected tools, spreadsheets, PDFs, and tribal knowledge. Teams are forced to manually connect decisions across code compliance, estimating, scheduling, and value engineering, which leads to slow iterations, missed scope, costly rework, and avoidable project risk.
MeltPlan solves this by creating a unified planning platform that connects the four planning pillars that shape every project: code compliance, cost, schedule, and value engineering. Instead of operating like a black-box AI assistant, MeltPlan is built for accuracy and transparency. It understands real AEC context &mdash; including codes and standards, building assemblies and elements, quantities and scopes, and project-specific conditions. Every output is designed to be defensible, with clear assumptions, step-by-step reasoning, and verifiable sources.
At the core of MeltPlan is the belief that planning isn&rsquo;t just producing a schedule or an estimate &mdash; it&rsquo;s making the right decisions early, before mistakes become expensive field problems. MeltPlan helps teams move from &ldquo;searching and guessing&rdquo; to &ldquo;knowing and deciding.&rdquo;
Today, MeltPlan offers two core products:
<h3 data-start="1400" data-end="1417">Melt Code</h3>
Melt Code is the first building code research AI built to make compliance transparent and decision-ready. Instead of giving a generic answer, Melt Code provides project-specific compliance requirements along with a step-by-step reasoning trail and direct citations to every relevant code section. It also maps out Compliance Paths, guiding architects and engineers through multiple valid routes to compliance based on project variables like occupancy, construction type, sprinkler conditions, height/area thresholds, and fire ratings. Melt Code understands exceptions, cross-references, tables, diagrams, and code math &mdash; and can generate project-specific compliance illustrations to make requirements easier to interpret and communicate. It also includes workflow tools like Projects and Checklists, helping firms capture institutional knowledge and standardize compliance across teams.
<h3 data-start="2326" data-end="2346">Melt Takeoff</h3>
Melt Takeoff is an AI-assisted takeoff service designed for contractors and estimators who need speed without sacrificing trust. It combines AI vision for fast quantity extraction with onshore, field-experienced senior estimators who verify outputs and add detailed allowances for scope not shown on drawings. Melt Takeoff detects hundreds of building elements, flags drawing/spec conflicts, structures takeoffs in MasterFormat&reg;, UniFormat&reg;, or custom standards, and delivers interactive outputs with sheet-linked traceability and clean Excel exports. It enables faster bids, fewer missed scope items, and more confident pricing.
Together, Melt Code and Melt Takeoff form the foundation of the MeltPlan platform &mdash; a connected planning engine that brings clarity, speed, and trust to preconstruction decision-making.

<li data-start="1692" data-end="1858">
Projects, where teams store project context (location, occupancy, construction type, sprinkler status, etc.) so every question becomes instantly project-aware
</li>
<li data-start="1859" data-end="1990">
Checklists, allowing firms to build, store, share, and export reusable compliance checklists across teams and project types
</li>
</ul>
The result is dramatically faster research, fewer senior escalations, reduced consultant dependence &mdash; and most importantly, confidence and peace of mind in every code decision.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Willis project, located in Florida, involved the development of a contemporary low-rise residential building complex. One of the defining features of the development was a two-storey clubhouse complemented by a swimming pool, designed to act as the heart of the community. At the design bid presentation stage, it became essential for the principal architect to communicate not only the technical details but also the lifestyle and spatial qualities of the project. For this purpose, high-quality rendered imagery was required.

AEODC, with its proven expertise in 2D and 3D visualization, was awarded the responsibility of preparing the rendered outputs. The scope included the production of 3D rendered views across different scales and perspectives, delivered within a challenging two-to-three-week timeline.

Scope of Work

Site Plan Rendering: Creation of rendered views representing the overall site, highlighting essential details such as planting, sidewalks, and outdoor circulation.

Elevation Rendering: Realistic visualizations showcasing the exterior façade and elevations, aligned with the architect’s design perspective.

Aerial and Interior Views: High-quality aerial renderings along with interior perspectives of the clubhouse and swimming pool to illustrate both exterior and lifestyle spaces.

By delivering accurate, detailed, and visually compelling renderings, AEODC provided essential design communication tools that supported the architect in presenting a strong, winning bid for the project.
