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

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

Building Better with BIM QA: 2025 Interview with Solibri

With design and building cycles accelerating, architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals are racing against time. qbiq.ai&nbsp;introduces a radical shift: from blank canvas struggles to fully viable, detailed design plans in minutes.
Unlike generic AI floor plan generators or "smoke and mirrors" automation tools that offer surface-level renderings that are unusable, qbiq.ai is purpose-built for professionals who need usable, build-ready outputs. <a href="https://www.qbiq.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">qbiq</a>&rsquo;s system doesn't just sketch ideas; it delivers usable, BIM-compatible, and fully editable 2D, CAD and 3D architectural models that evolve with your project based on a huge data set of verified plans.
As one of the few AI solutions delivering fully usable CAD, BIM, and Revit outputs, qbiq ensures AEC professionals save both time and costs while reducing errors that slow down project delivery.
<h2 dir="ltr">A Unique AI Model, Built for Your Project</h2>
One of the most powerful capabilities qbiq offers is its "<a href="https://www.qbiq.ai/capabilities/customized-planning-engine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Customized Planning Engine</a>", which builds an intelligent AI model around your specific goals and constraints. Instead of forcing your team to adapt to generic layouts or templates, qbiq adapts to you. By ingesting your project parameters, building specific geometry, design guidelines, operational flows, and compliance rules, it creates a context-aware engine that produces layouts tailored to your domain. Whether you&rsquo;re following internal brand standards or navigating local code requirements, your AI model is purpose-built to reflect those exact conditions.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/bfdd8c29-ca7c-4357-9e1a-0b36b2450f8a.png" alt="Tune seat distribution and space ratios with instant analytics." width="1000">
<figcaption>
Fig. 1) Tune seat distribution and space ratios with instant analytics.
</figcaption>
</figure>
Every project powered by qbiq starts with our AI model and we generate customized, valid plans , tailored to your specific requirements. This isn&rsquo;t one-size-fits-all AI. qbiq generates solutions that align with your industry standards, spatial constraints, and regulatory guidelines from day one.
This model isn&rsquo;t static either. It evolves with you. As you refine and review, the system continues to learn and adapt, producing new layout variations, fine-tuning component placement, and adjusting flows to meet stakeholder feedback. It's not just iterative; it's intelligent iteration rooted in your specific needs.
<h2 dir="ltr">Visually Rich, Professionally Valid</h2>
Design excellence isn&rsquo;t just about layout and deliverability - it&rsquo;s also about presentation. qbiq doesn&rsquo;t stop at a 2D functional layout; it delivers highly visual, beautifully finished 3D environments that reflect your standards and elevate stakeholder engagement. With our <a href="https://www.qbiq.ai/capabilities/themes-finishes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Themes &amp; Finishes</a> capability, every space generated includes customized visual treatments, from flooring and lighting schemes to furniture arrangements and brand-aligned finishes at a specific cost level.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/427a2cf8-acba-41c2-bee0-da01aab8cc1d.png" alt="AI applies selected finishes to plans and 3D views." width="1000">
<figcaption>

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

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

History

In 1898, Charles Henry Page and his brother Louis Page formed Page Brother, Architects and focused on designing courthouses and public schools. Charles's son, Charles Henry Page Jr., joined the firm following Louis's death in 1934. A year later, Louis's son, Louis Charles Page Jr., partnered with his college roommate, Louis Southerland, to form the Austin-based firm Page and Southerland. Louis's brother, George Page, would join the firm in 1939 and the name changed to Page Southerland Page. The firm changed its name to just Page in 2013.

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

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

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

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