<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 Revit 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.

<figcaption spellcheck="false" data-qb-tmp-id="lt-987372" data-gramm="false">Fig. 1) Ichi helps architecture teams bring code research earlier into the design process, turning complex compliance questions into faster, cited answers.</figcaption>
</figure>
We sat down with Chinmayi Suri, Architectural Designer at DGA, and Brandon Levey, Founder and CEO of <a href="https://www.ichiplan.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ichi</a>, to learn how the two are working at the intersection of architecture and AI to tackle some of the profession's most time-consuming pain points: building code compliance, QA/QC, and the institutional knowledge that disappears when senior staff retire.&nbsp;
On a recent corporate laboratory project, the team at DGA, a Bay Area architecture firm specializing in life sciences and advanced manufacturing facilities, hit a familiar wall. Their mechanical scope carried a $250,000 line item for fire dampers, and the client wanted that cost justified before signing off. The architects suspected the dampers were not actually required by code for this specific occupancy and assembly configuration, but confirming it the usual way meant setting up a meeting, a senior architect pulling code books, cross-referencing amendments, and chasing answers across the firm. On a project already under deadline pressure, the budget question was at risk of being closed out without ever being properly answered.
Instead, they ran the question through Ichi, an AI platform built specifically for navigating building code complexity. Within seconds they had a cited answer from the code confirming the dampers were not required. The line item came out. The client saved $250,000.
While this is a relatively small sum for highly complex projects, this is just a single example and without that quick verification, the money would not have stayed in the project. It would have come out of finishes, or contingency, or somewhere else the team would rather not have touched. That is the part worth paying attention to. Code research used to be a slow, senior-architect-only task that often gets skipped or rushed under deadline pressure. When it stops being slow, it starts shaping budgets in real time.
<h3 dir="ltr">How Manual Code Work Is Costing You</h3>
Code compliance is one of those parts of architectural practice that almost no one celebrates. It is also one of the most expensive parts of the job, in hours if not always in dollars.
Chinmayi Suri, an architectural designer at DGA, works on cGMP pharmaceutical, life science, and manufacturing facilities that often run past 100,000 square feet and carry layered regulatory requirements. She describes the existing process bluntly. Navigating ADA, fire codes, and industry-specific regulations falls on the most senior architects, the ones who have memorized chunks of code over years of repetition. It is institutional knowledge stored in human heads, queried one Slack message or in-person conversation at a time.
That creates two problems. The first is throughput. Senior staff become the bottleneck on every code question, which pulls them away from the design work they were hired to do. The second is timing. Code checking traditionally happens after the design is mostly finished, so compliance issues surface late, when changes are expensive and the schedule is already tight.
<blockquote>
"This stemmed from frustration really. I was sitting on my computer saying this should not take so long, and that's kind of actually where this all started."&nbsp;&mdash; Chinmayi Suri, DGA
</blockquote>
Her original interest in AI tools came out of that frustration, not out of any particular enthusiasm for AI as a concept.
<h3 dir="ltr">Why Generic AI Tools Fall Short</h3>
The obvious question for any architect frustrated with code research is: Can&rsquo;t ChatGPT do the job? The answer, so far, has been no, and the reasons are useful to understand.
Brandon Levey, founder and CEO of Ichi, comes from a 20-year tech background that includes work at a Department of Energy national lab and running R&amp;D teams at Square. He grew up in his father's HVAC and sheet metal business, which is partly why he ended up building software for AEC. He breaks the gap down into three things.
Accuracy on compliance codes has to be very high. Architects stamp their drawings, and a model that produces plausible-sounding language without citing the exact code section is worse than no answer at all. The documents themselves are also unusually large. A spec package can run 6,000 pages. A jurisdiction comment letter can run 60 pages with 300 individual items. General-purpose tools are not built to parse and cross-reference at that scale with any reliability. And, the answers always depend on the context that lives inside the firm: what counts as a standard detail, which assemblies the client has used before, what the senior architect on this project type would flag.
Chinmayi put it more directly. Generic AI tools require the user to already have deep domain knowledge to know what to ask and to verify what comes back. That defeats the purpose. The point of an AI assistant for code work is to lower the barrier, not require an expert to operate it.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech-files.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/d43e9371-5c56-45b3-b46b-0264708472ca.png" alt="What Agentic Actually Means Here" width="1080"><canvas class="qb-highlighter__canvas" style="display: none; top: 1px !important; left: 200px !important;" width="47" height="22"></canvas>
<figcaption spellcheck="false" data-qb-tmp-id="lt-193248" data-gramm="false">Fig. 2) Ichi&rsquo;s agent based workflow helps teams organize code review, QA/QC, and consultant coordination tasks in a structured review board.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h3 dir="ltr">What Agentic Actually Means Here</h3>
Ichi's product is built around what Brandon calls an agentic approach. The term gets used loosely, so it is worth being specific.
In Ichi's case it means that when users ask Ichi a question they aren&rsquo;t interacting with a single LLM, but rather many different agents that are specialized in specific tasks. This approach helps the platform guide users when they do not know exactly what to ask,check its own work, and complete longer, more complex tasks.
A simple example. An architect asks a question about an auditorium in California. A generic chatbot returns a generic answer. Ichi instead asks clarifying questions about occupancy load and square footage, because those variables fundamentally change which code sections apply. That guided flow matters in code work, where a wrong assumption upstream invalidates everything downstream.
The error-checking piece is more technical but arguably more important.
<blockquote>
"Any type of long-running or long horizon task in AI is going to have errors in it. The way that we evolve through that, a lot of the agentic approaches are by using multiple AI agents to check its work."&nbsp;&mdash; Brandon Levey, founder and CEO, Ichi
</blockquote>
In practice that means when Ichi pulls code references from a 60-page comment letter or runs a feasibility study, separate agents are reviewing the output for inconsistencies and gaps before the architect sees it. That internal cross-check is what makes the difference between a curiosity and something architects will actually put their name on.

<h3 dir="ltr">Reducing the Work Architects Enjoy Least&nbsp;</h3>
The most concrete value Ichi delivers shows up in the workflows least enjoyed by architects.
Comment letters are the clearest case. When a jurisdiction returns a plan check, the architect's first job is translation: turning a long PDF into a structured spreadsheet that maps each comment to the relevant code reference, assigns it to the right consultant, and drafts an initial response. Brandon described one user who spent five to eight hours turning a 60-page letter with 300 comments into a workable spreadsheet. With Ichi, that drops to around 20 minutes.
Feasibility and zoning studies follow a similar pattern. A study that previously took two to four hours of senior staff time becomes a 20-minute guided workflow, producing an exportable document with code references already in place.
On the documentation side, the savings come less from automation than from triage. Chinmayi pointed to 700-page document sets where the real value is having AI do the first pass, locating where specific notes or drawing discrepancies live. The architect still verifies and decides. They just no longer have to read every line to find the three that matter.
The work that consumes the most time in an architecture firm is rarely the work that draws people into the profession. Cutting hours out of that work is where most firms will see the first real return.

<h3 dir="ltr">Capturing the Knowledge Before It Walks Out the Door</h3>
One of the more interesting features in Ichi is what the platform calls Memory. It captures the institutional knowledge of senior staff, the kind of judgment and pattern recognition that takes decades to build and tends to leave the firm when those people retire.
Chinmayi described how the idea took shape at DGA.
<blockquote>
"I wish we could put Mark Davis into a notebook LLM."&nbsp;&mdash; Chinmayi Suri, on DGA principal Mark Davis
</blockquote>
The line is partly a joke about a specific colleague, but it captures something the AEC industry has struggled with for a long time. Knowledge transfer from senior to junior staff is mostly accidental, dependent on proximity, mentorship, and time.
Memory works by ingesting organizational standards, past project notes, and client specifications so the AI's answers reflect the firm's actual way of working, not a generic best practice. DGA has started using it as a training tool, exposing younger architects not just to answers but to the prompts and reasoning senior staff use to get there. The platform already syncs directly with OneDrive and soon will with Google Drive, removing another friction point for firms with messy document storage.
This is also where the security question gets practical. Ichi does not train its models on customer data. For firms handling sensitive client information, particularly in life sciences or government work, that distinction is the difference between adoption and a hard no from legal.
<h3 dir="ltr">The Barriers Are Real, but Shrinking</h3>
Adoption is rarely about whether a tool works. It is about whether a firm can afford the time to find out.
Chinmayi named three barriers: time, trust, and security. Time, because evaluating new software is itself a senior-staff task that competes with billable work. Trust, because architects are personally liable for what they sign. Security, because client data cannot be pasted into a public chatbot.
The trust question tends to dissolve through small wins. Firms that successfully adopt AI usually start with a single project, often a smaller one, and prove the tool against a known answer. Once the output matches what a senior architect would have produced, the conversation shifts from whether the tool is reliable to which workflow it should touch next.
The fear of replacement also fades quickly once people actually use the tools. The intelligent part of the work, as Chinmayi pointed out, still comes from the humans using it. AI takes the repetitive parts. It does not make decisions, and it does not stamp drawings.
<h3 dir="ltr">The New Baseline</h3>
The shift Brandon describes has happened fast. In 2024, the conversation in architecture was still about whether AI was real. By late 2025 it had moved to how to implement it. Firms are now being asked in client interviews and RFP responses what their AI strategy is. Within the next year, not having a clear answer will start to count against firms competing for work.
Chinmayi frames it in the only terms that really matter to working architects.
<blockquote>
"You have to start using it. We have to start thinking about using it in our workflow. It is going to become as prevalent to us at some point as Revit is."&nbsp;&mdash; Chinmayi Suri, DGA
</blockquote>
The shift from hand drafting to CAD took roughly a decade. CAD to BIM took another. Each one looked optional at the start and obvious by the end. The shift now underway, from manual code research to agentic compliance tools, is following the same curve. 
Firms picking up the tools now are buying themselves time to figure out how to use them well before that becomes a job requirement rather than a competitive edge.

In this article, we explore how DGA Architects is using Ichi’s agentic AI platform to rethink building code compliance, QA/QC, and time consuming review workflows. Through a recent project example, the article shows how faster, cited code research helped the team remove a $250K fire damper line item and make better decisions earlier. The piece also looks at how AI can capture institutional knowledge, support junior teams, and become a new baseline for architecture firms as client expectations evolve.

How DGA Used Ichi’s Agentic AI to Rethink Code Compliance

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

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

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

The four pillars of Pirros:

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

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

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

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

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

Company Overview

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

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

Vertical Specialization

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

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

Services and Capabilities

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

Managed IT services and infrastructure oversight

Cybersecurity strategy, implementation, and risk reduction

Cloud and hybrid architecture design

Strategic technology advisory for leadership teams

Business continuity and disaster recovery planning

Compliance-aligned security practices

Systems optimization for design and collaboration workflows

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

Strategic Orientation

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

Translating technical risks into business risk

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

Helping firms modernize legacy environments without disrupting productivity

Prioritizing resilience, security posture, and operational maturity

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

Reputation and Client Relationships

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

Leadership and Perspective

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

Market Position

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Founded in New York City in 2001, Agile Networks has spent over two decades working with exactly one type of client: architecture firms. That exclusivity is our operating model. Most IT providers treat architecture as one vertical among many, handling hardware, software, and consultants as separate, disconnected line items. Agile Networks treats them as one interconnected system, because architecture is the only system it works inside.

Why architecture-only matters
A generalist IT firm might service law offices, medical practices, and architecture firms in the same week, applying the same playbook to all three. Agile Networks doesn't have that option, by design:

Every client is an architecture firm, so every engagement builds on the same base of institutional knowledge instead of starting over.
Hardware, software, services, and outside consultants are understood as one connected chain, not four separate vendor relationships.
Decisions get made with full context on how design teams actually work, not a generic IT framework retrofitted onto the profession.

Services and capabilities
Agile Networks pairs day-to-day infrastructure management with higher-level guidance that most firms can't get from a standard IT vendor:

Managed IT infrastructure and network support
Cybersecurity strategy and risk reduction
Executive-level technology strategy and advisory
Software and tool evaluation, selection, and adoption guidance
Workflow-aligned technology planning across hardware, software, and outside consultants

The firm's footprint runs the Northeast corridor, from New York down through the Atlantic states, with additional clients outside that geography.

A reciprocal loop, not a one-way service:
What separates Agile Networks from a standard MSP is how its advice gets formed. Instead of recommending tools based on vendor relationships or industry buzz, the firm treats its client base as a live feedback loop:

Lessons from one firm's rollout, both what worked well and the speed bumps along the way, get turned into an accelerant for the next: proven approaches move faster, and known friction points get solved before they repeat.
That loop runs in real time, not on an annual review cycle, so recommendations reflect what's currently working in practice, not what worked two years ago.
Because every client is an architecture firm, the patterns Agile Networks sees are directly transferable, rather than diluted by unrelated industries.

This is the mechanism behind the "informed by real-time patterns across real firms" line: it's not a slogan, it's a description of how the guidance actually gets built.

Forecasting most generalists can't do

Because Agile Networks is embedded exclusively in architecture practices, it sees adoption patterns, pain points, and emerging tool categories before they hit the broader market conversation. A generalist IT firm serving a handful of architecture clients alongside other industries doesn't have the density of exposure to spot these shifts early. Agile Networks does, and uses that position to help firm leadership make forward-looking decisions rather than reactive ones.
How Agile Networks positions itself

Not a generalist MSP that happens to have architecture clients.
Not a software vendor pushing a single product.
A technology partner whose only frame of reference is architecture, working at the intersection of infrastructure, security, and executive strategy.

This is the kind of firm that gets engaged when leadership wants a technology decision made with real depth, not another vendor pitch.

Agile Networks

Architecture is our only client since 2001. IT infrastructure, Cybersecurity, Executive-level strategy and Technology Forecasting, informed by real-time patterns across real firms.

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.

Stephen George + Partners

Stephen George + Partners (SGP) is an AJ100 architectural practice founded in 1970, with five UK offices in Leicester, Leeds, London, Birmingham, and Solihull. Its versatile teams work across nine sectors, including industrial, healthcare, transport, residential, and workplace, with added expertise in master planning, BIM, interior design, and CGI.

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.

Lagarsoft

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

The perfect add-in to make Revit smarter and prevent costly mistakes before they happen.

Guardian is a Revit add-in that trains your teams, cleans your models, protects your work, and tracks model performance. Guardian helps firms reduce rework, improve consistency, and keep project standards on track by combining real-time user guidance, standards automations, proactive project protections, and model performance insights.

Since 2018, Guardian has been dedicated to solving long-standing challenges that plague the AEC industry. Rather than relying on manual oversight and reactive quality control, Guardian enables firms to proactively establish, maintain, and scale standards across projects, teams, and offices. Guardian was built for the BIM managers, design technology leaders, and project teams who believe design should flow smoothly.

Guardian helps firms in four key ways: train your teams, clean your models, protect your work, and track model performance.

Train Your Teams:
Guardian helps users complete the work correctly the first time by delivering real-time guidance directly within Revit. BIM and design technology leaders can provide users with in-the-moment coaching and best practices as they work, helping them complete tasks correctly the first time. By reinforcing standards at the point of action, firms can improve graphical consistency, reduce common mistakes, and ensure best practices across project teams. Combined with project and user-level data, Guardian provides visibility into model performance and user activity, helping leaders identify training opportunities and make data-driven decisions.

Clean Your Models:
Guardian automatically aligns your firm’s Revit and graphical standards. With standards and mappings, firms can clean incoming content and seamlessly sync properties across projects. Additional Revit automations streamline can automate workset assignment, viewport selection, and merge duplicate families. By reducing manual effort and eliminating inconsistencies, Guardian helps teams spend less time fixing issues and more time delivering high-quality project work.

Protect Your Work:
Guardian monitors critical project settings, standards, and modeled elements. Automated protections help prevent accidental edits, deletions, and changes that can introduce risk, rework, or project delays. Rather than discovering issues after they occur, teams can proactively maintain project integrity and confidence in their models.

Track Model Performance:
Through Guardian Backstage, firms gain visibility into project health, model activity, and user behavior across their organization. These insights help BIM and design technology leaders identify opportunities for improvement, measure the impact of standards initiatives, and make more informed operational decisions.

Guardian is designed to support every role involved in project delivery. BIM managers can guide and train teams, enforce standards, and reduce costly mistakes. Firm leaders benefit from improved consistency, reduced rework, and more efficient project delivery that contribute to stronger business outcomes. Designers and project teams can work confidently knowing they are aligned with firm standards and best practices.

Leading firms choose Guardian to improve Revit quality and model performance, train their users more effectively, gain meaningful insights into model and team activity, and scale best practices across offices and project teams. By helping firms establish standards, reinforce best practices, and prevent issues before they spread, Guardian transforms BIM management from a reactive process into a proactive strategy that supports better project outcomes and long-term growth.

"Guardian has saved us time, money, and frustration by helping us enforce standards at the source while giving us real insight through Backstage. It’s helped us grow our templates, families, and team in a smarter, more strategic direction."
-John Wehmer, BIM Manager at Garver USA

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.

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.

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.

Matera is an early-stage platform exploring how AI can bring greater visibility from specification to sale across the AEC industry.

Today, the process between material specification, procurement, distribution, and construction execution remains highly fragmented. Architects, designers, contractors, developers, manufacturers, and distributors often work across disconnected systems, spreadsheets, PDFs, emails, and manual workflows. As projects evolve, material substitutions, pricing changes, availability constraints, and communication gaps can create significant inefficiencies between what is designed and what is ultimately built.

Matera is being developed to help bridge these gaps through building materials intelligence, procurement visibility, and workflow automation.

The platform is focused on helping teams better understand material specifications in the context of real-world procurement and construction workflows. By exploring AI-assisted document extraction, material intelligence, and supply chain visibility, Matera aims to support more informed decision-making across the lifecycle of a project.

The vision behind Matera comes from over 20 years of experience across building materials, architectural sales, procurement, operations, and construction coordination within the AEC industry. Throughout that experience, a consistent challenge became clear: there is often limited visibility between design intent, procurement realities, and downstream execution.

Material decisions made early in the design process can significantly impact project budgets, timelines, substitutions, installation coordination, and final project quality. Yet many teams still lack integrated tools that connect specification workflows with procurement and supply chain realities.

Matera is exploring how AI can help organize and structure this information in more intelligent ways by transforming fragmented project data into more usable operational intelligence. The goal is not simply to digitize existing workflows, but to create clearer connections between the people, products, and decisions that shape construction projects from concept through completion.

Current areas of exploration include:
~ specification and document analysis,
~ material intelligence workflows,
~ procurement coordination,
~ supply chain visibility,
~ specification-to-sale tracking,
~ workflow automation across AEC teams,
~ and AI-assisted operational workflows for material management.

The long-term goal is to help reduce friction between stakeholders involved in selecting, sourcing, managing, and delivering building materials across projects. Matera is particularly interested in improving visibility between upstream design decisions and downstream procurement realities, where many costly project inefficiencies often emerge.

In many construction projects, teams spend significant time manually reviewing specifications, coordinating substitutions, tracking approvals, validating product information, and communicating across multiple stakeholders. These workflows are often repetitive, fragmented, and difficult to standardize across organizations. Matera is exploring how AI-assisted systems may help streamline portions of these processes while improving transparency and coordination between teams.

The platform is also being developed with an understanding that building materials data is often inconsistent, unstructured, and distributed across multiple formats and systems. Product information may exist in specifications, submittals, technical sheets, emails, spreadsheets, ERP systems, distributor catalogs, or manufacturer databases. Matera is exploring ways to organize and connect this information in a more structured and actionable format that supports both operational workflows and strategic decision-making.

Another area of interest is the relationship between specification activity and downstream sales visibility. Manufacturers and distributors often have limited insight into how products move from specification through procurement and final installation. Matera is exploring how improved visibility across these stages could support stronger coordination, forecasting, and project tracking throughout the supply chain.

Matera is currently in its early stages and continuing to evolve through industry conversations, workflow testing, and collaboration with professionals across architecture, design, construction, manufacturing, and distribution. The company is focused on learning directly from industry participants to better understand where operational bottlenecks exist and where AI-enabled workflows may provide meaningful value.

The company is particularly interested in the intersection of:
~ AI adoption in AEC,
~ construction technology,
~ material workflows,
~ procurement intelligence,
~ operational visibility across the built environment,
~ and data-driven coordination across project stakeholders.

As the AEC industry continues to adopt new technologies and AI-driven workflows, Matera is exploring how building materials data and procurement intelligence can become a more connected part of the project lifecycle. The broader vision is to help create a more transparent, coordinated, and intelligent ecosystem for managing building materials across design, procurement, and construction operations.

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.

Understanding New York City's Zoning Resolution

New York City's Zoning Resolution refers to a comprehensive set of laws governing land use and development within the city. Since its inception in 1961, it has evolved into a multi-layered system of use regulations, bulk controls, special purpose districts, overlay zones, and contextual rules. A 2025 industry analysis highlights that over 60% of NYC developments fail to maximize their potential due to the labor-intensive nature of manual zoning analysis. NYC Zoning AI was developed to overcome these challenges.

Automated FAR Calculations and Air Rights Analysis

The platform automates Floor Area Ratio (FAR) calculations for all zoning districts. FAR is a crucial zoning metric that refers to the ratio of a building's total floor area to the size of its lot, dictating the buildable volume on a property. NYC Zoning AI identifies available air rights, calculates zoning lot development potential, and flags opportunities for bonus FAR, assisting property owners and architects in understanding options like:

- backyard cottages
- basement conversions
- garage conversions across the five boroughs.

3D Massing Models for Quick Visualizations

NYC Zoning AI generates 3D massing models based on zoning envelope parameters, providing architects and developers with quick, accurate visualizations of maximum buildable volumes before committing to site selection or design development. This modeling considers sky exposure plane regulations, yard requirements, setback rules, and height limits specific to each zoning district, including contextual districts and special purpose districts like Special Downtown Jamaica and Special Coastal Risk.

Professional Use Cases for NYC Zoning AI

The platform caters to various professional use cases. Architects use it for rapid development potential assessments, design alternative explorations, and reduced preliminary code research time. Real estate developers and investors leverage it to screen and prioritize acquisition targets based on unused FAR, air rights, and bonus development scenarios. Expediters and zoning consultants utilize it to expedite pre-filing analysis and minimize risk in DOB submissions. Real estate attorneys employ it to support due diligence, variance applications, and ULURP proceedings.

Regulatory Depth and Automation Speed

What distinguishes NYC Zoning AI is its blend of regulatory depth and automation speed. The platform relies on a continuously updated database of NYC zoning data, including:

- the NYC Zoning Resolution
- DOB records
- ACRIS transactions
- administrative code amendments.

Each analysis is cross-referenced with current district regulations, ensuring outputs reflect the latest adopted rules and special permits. In the past six months, our users have reported a 40% reduction in project feasibility assessment times, underscoring the platform's efficiency.

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.

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.

Turning Construction Blueprint Chaos Into Structured Data

GrabThat: Reclaiming Mental Energy and Data Sovereignty in AEC
In the high-stakes world of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC), the most valuable resource isn't just billable hours—it’s mental energy. Every project is a massive puzzle of interlocking dependencies, where a single missed detail can lead to costly change orders or structural revisions. Yet, every day, talented professionals drain their cognitive reserves on "digital friction": the frustration of hunting for a specific detail, the anxiety of potentially working from an outdated version, and the mental gymnastics required to navigate labyrinthine folder structures.

The Cognitive Load of the "Data Swamp"
Psychologists define cognitive load as the total amount of mental effort being used in the working memory. In AEC, this load is often pushed to the breaking point. When a senior architect or lead engineer is forced to break their design flow to spend 15 minutes trekking through a "data swamp" for a specific submittal or a localized detail, they aren't just losing time. They are experiencing a jarring context switch that shatters focus and elevates stress.

This friction is a silent productivity killer. It forces the brain to shift from high-level creative problem-solving to low-level administrative sorting. Once that focus is broken, research suggests it can take upwards of 20 minutes to return to a deep "flow state." In an industry where precision is everything, this constant interruption is more than an inconvenience—it’s a systemic risk.

Reclaiming the Flow State
GrabThat is designed to eliminate this friction entirely. By allowing users to "summon" files using natural language, the software moves the task of file retrieval from the conscious, effortful brain to the background. Instead of manually clicking through server paths or trying to remember if a file was named "v2_final" or "v2_final_revised," you simply ask for what you need.

This seamless interaction allows professionals to remain in the flow state—that elusive cognitive zone where the highest level of craftsmanship and problem-solving occurs. When you can simply ask for the "latest site plan" or "HVAC schematics for the third floor" without leaving your workspace, your brain stays engaged with the design problem, not the file system.

Seamless Augmentation, Not Replacement
One of the greatest hurdles in implementing new technology is the "onboarding tax"—the time and energy required to learn a new platform or migrate data. GrabThat eliminates this hurdle by design. It is not a new platform that replaces your existing tools; it is a sophisticated augmentation of your existing workflows.

Employees do not have to change their habits, learn a new interface, or move their files. GrabThat sits quietly in the background, liberating the team from the small, cumulative barriers faced during every digital interaction in the design process. It bridges the gap between the user and their data, making existing server structures feel transparent rather than obstructive.

Absolute Data Sovereignty and Security
In an era where data breaches and AI privacy concerns are at the forefront of corporate risk management, GrabThat offers a paradigm shift in security. Unlike typical AI tools that rely on cloud processing, GrabThat is built on a foundation of total data sovereignty:

Local Processing: The AI engine runs entirely on the user’s local machine. This ensures that the computational power used to index and retrieve your files is contained within your own hardware.

Zero External Access: The system does not access online sources, nor does it send your proprietary data to external cloud AI models for "training."

Permanent On-Premise Storage: Your data lives permanently on your corporate servers. GrabThat works within the strict confines of your current security systems and firewall protocols.

By keeping everything internal, GrabThat ensures that sensitive intellectual property, client contracts, and confidential blueprints never leave the safety of your controlled environment.

A Focus-First Culture
Implementing GrabThat is more than a technical upgrade; it is a fundamental commitment to your team’s mental well-being. By reducing cognitive load and respecting the sanctity of the professional's focus, you provide your team with the space they need to be creative, precise, and efficient.

In a competitive market where employee retention and precision are paramount, a culture that values expertise over administration is your greatest competitive advantage. GrabThat ensures your team spends their brilliance on the project, ensuring that the final build is a testament to their skill, not their ability to manage a file system.

Pirros is the AI project hub for architects and engineers. Our mission is simple: make managing projects easier for firms. We reduce the burden of producing hundreds of details and families per project by giving designers instant access to everything their firm has developed in the past. Rather than spending hours digging through cluttered folders on a server or rebuilding content that already exists somewhere in the archive, Pirros centralizes every detail and family a firm has produced and makes them accessible with a simple search.
Pirros was started by two structural engineers turned entrepreneurs. Ari and Peter spent time at a handful of different design firms and kept experiencing the same problems when it came to retrieving and managing Revit content. The technology industry has overlooked the AE design space and the strategic importance of details and families to a firm's success. Pirros is on a mission to change that.
The four pillars of Pirros:
<ol class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-decimal flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3">
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">No upfront work. Upload and instantly search across projects without manual tagging or naming conventions. Powered by a direct ACC integration, firms get tens of thousands of details and families onto Pirros within 24 hours.</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Search by composition, not tag. Find details and families based on what the element actually is, not what its tags say. Powered by a proprietary blend of AI, computer vision, and OCR.</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Share universally. Share Revit details and families as universal PDFs with colleagues and partners outside of Revit, accelerating collaboration, content approvals, and new hire onboarding.</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Built-in QA workflows. Review and approve standard content automatically surfaced based on analytics across projects. Approval workflows live inside the platform instead of in committee meetings and email chains.</li>
</ol>
Pirros is backed by Y Combinator, SOC 2 certified, and trusted by leading AE firms across North America, Australia, and the UK.

ArchiBoost AI is an AI-powered co-pilot built specifically for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. Developed by architects and engineers rather than generic AI developers, the platform helps project teams navigate complex building regulations, activate institutional knowledge, and automatically review project documentation to identify coordination risks and compliance issues before they become costly problems.
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.

Sustainability Tools to Watch Out For in 2025!

Project Background
The engagement focused on bringing a large UK healthcare federated BIM model into a costed, programme-linked and auditable state — the bottleneck most digital engineering teams hit between authoring a Revit or IFC model and feeding it into cost planning, procurement and risk reporting.
The Challenge
The project's federated model carried 23,466 elements across a 4,500-file project folder: native Revit content from multiple disciplines, NHS Activity DataBase (ADB) codes on every fitting, an external procurement schedule with confirmed sub-contract values, a contract programme exported in a revision-tracking format, and 42 specification PDFs scattered across handover folders. The work normally done by a quantity surveyor — manually mapping element schedules to NRM2 categories, reconciling against the Bill of Quantities, and refreshing the result for every variation — was the bottleneck in cost planning and programme risk analysis. 5D BIM investment over the last decade has moved this bottleneck without shrinking it.
The Approach
Leveret Systems built an agentic processing layer that quantifies a federated BIM model end-to-end while preserving auditability. The architecture is hybrid by design: deterministic rules narrow the work before any AI reasoning is applied, schemas reject malformed answers at the boundary, citations are enforced as code, and a project-by-project knowledge layer accumulates so subsequent runs converge faster. Items the agent cannot confidently resolve route to a tightly-scoped human review queue rather than being silently committed — in a domain where a QS has to defend every line, that abstention behaviour is the safety feature.
The pipeline integrates with existing tools rather than replacing them: Revit and IFC inputs through Autodesk Platform Services, Primavera P6 or revision-tracking spreadsheet programmes, procurement schedules in NEC, JCT or bespoke layouts, and specification PDFs indexed for retrieval-augmented review.
The Result
The validation pipeline processed all 23,466 model elements from the 4,500-file project folder in under four minutes. Deterministic rules classified nearly half of the elements before any LLM reasoning fired. The agentic layer committed on a further large slice with median confidence above 0.9. The remainder routed to a tightly-scoped review queue with citation context. Every committed classification carries an auditable trace back to its source — the property field on the model, the specification page, the procurement schedule row, or the prior decision on a similar element earlier in the project. Within a single project, the accumulated knowledge layer already resolves roughly a third of elements on rerun without firing the agentic stack at all.
The Wider Value
Once a federated BIM model is quantified and linked to procurement, programme and specification context, the federated model itself becomes a live system: each element gains an extensible state vector (planned, specified, design approval, procured, material on site, installed, signed off) with each transition written back to the model with a citation. This is the layer Leveret is building next — quantification delivered today, live federated state in active development, integrations tuned per engagement.
Engagement Options
Leveret Systems delivers this in two modes. Per-project engagements (one to three weeks) suit teams who need a single model quantified, reconciled and structured for risk and cost analysis on a specific job. Strategic embedded engagements (four to six months) suit organisations who want the pipeline tuned to their tools and embedded in their delivery process — the code, the architecture and a clone of the cross-project knowledge layer transfer with the engagement.
For contractors with procurement schedules that drift, architects with project folders that have grown organically across teams, developers who want real programme risk visibility, and PMOs who have stopped trusting their own status reports — that is the conversation Leveret Systems wants to have.

Agentic Quantification of a Federated Healthcare BIM

Leveret Systems is a UK-based agentic AI engineering consultancy that builds the live layer between federated BIM models and the contract documents that surround them &mdash; programme, procurement, cost plans, specifications and standards. The service quantifies a federated Revit or IFC model end-to-end, classifies every element against project context, and produces a continuously refreshable view that downstream cost planning, programme risk analysis and compliance audit can read as a function rather than a static export.
The architecture is hybrid by design. Deterministic rules narrow the work before any AI reasoning is applied &mdash; the cheap, fast, predictable layer carries the bulk of the classification, and reasoning models handle only the ambiguous tail. Schemas reject malformed answers at the boundary, citations are enforced as code, and items the agent cannot confidently resolve route to a tightly-scoped human review queue rather than being silently committed. In a domain where every line of a Bill of Quantities must be defensible, that abstention behaviour is the safety feature.
Each engagement contributes to a project-by-project knowledge layer that accumulates across the lifecycle. Subsequent runs converge faster as the layer learns the project's specific Activity DataBase codes, NRM2 mappings, supplier patterns and specification conventions. Within a single project we already observe roughly a third of elements resolving from the knowledge layer alone on rerun, without firing the agentic stack at all. The same effect is designed to compound across engagements.
The service integrates with existing tools rather than replacing them. Revit and IFC models are ingested through Autodesk Platform Services. Contract programmes parse from Primavera P6 exports or revision-tracking spreadsheets. Procurement schedules in NEC, JCT or bespoke layouts reconcile against the model. Specification PDFs are indexed for retrieval-augmented review. The Monte Carlo input layer &mdash; activity duration distributions, supplier lead-time distributions, element-to-activity links &mdash; is structured as live data, so a critical-path kernel reads it as a function and produces P50, P80 and P95 completion windows with a tornado attributing slip to specific suppliers.
Leveret Systems delivers in two engagement modes. Per-project engagements (one to three weeks) suit teams who need a single model quantified, reconciled and structured for risk and cost analysis on a specific job. Strategic embedded engagements (four to six months) suit organisations who want the service tuned to their tools and embedded in their permanent delivery capability. The code, the architecture and a clone of the cross-project knowledge layer transfer with the strategic engagement. We are not a platform vendor; we do not replace your QS, planner or BIM manager. We give them back the week of every month they currently spend reconciling documents that ought to have been reconciled already.

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;
KEY OUTCOMES FOR AEC FIRMS:
 &rarr; Catch plan rejections before they happen &mdash; not after &rarr; Reduce costly redesigns triggered by late-stage compliance surprises &rarr; Cut site plan QC time from days to under an hour &rarr; Give project managers and QC leads instant compliance confidence &rarr; Respond faster to client feasibility questions with authoritative answers
&nbsp;
BUILT FOR:
 - Architecture and landscape architecture firms in pre-design and design development - QC leads and project managers reviewing drawings before submittal - Firm principals who want faster, more defensible compliance decisions - Cities and planning departments streamlining their own plan review intake
&nbsp;
Conflation Labs is accepted into Founder University (top 10% of applicants) and actively running a design partner program with AEC firms and municipalities.
Starting at $350/month. Design partner spots open for firms ready to co-build the solution around their specific review workflow.

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.

Architectural Practice Optimization Through Digital Transformation and AI-Enabled Knowledge Management

This case study documents the digital transformation of an architectural practice through the adoption of an AI-enabled knowledge management system designed to optimize design workflows, construction documentation, and institutional knowledge reuse. The project addresses a widespread challenge in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry: the inefficiency caused by fragmented project data, legacy BIM files, and limited visibility into historical construction details.

Traditionally, architectural firms store design intelligence across disconnected Revit models, drawing sets, and file servers, making it difficult to locate, validate, and reuse technical information. This project demonstrates how practice optimization can be achieved by centralizing architectural data into a searchable, AI-powered system that indexes construction details, drawings, and documentation assets across multiple project types and software versions. By ARKI's AI to architectural knowledge management, the firm reduced dependence on manual file navigation and individual staff memory, improving documentation consistency and operational reliability.

From a digital transformation standpoint, the initiative reflects a shift from static file storage toward intelligent data systems that support scalable, repeatable workflows. AI-driven search, automated asset organization, and standardized detail reuse improved construction detailing efficiency, reduced rework, and enhanced quality control across projects. The approach also supported faster onboarding and improved collaboration by enabling team-wide access to approved technical content.

Overall, this case study highlights how AI-enabled knowledge management serves as a foundational layer for architectural practice optimization, enabling firms to improve productivity, reduce documentation risk, and extract long-term value from existing BIM and project data without increasing overhead or staffing levels.

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>
