<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The client loves the scheme, then asks what the facade looks like in brick instead of stone, and the meeting stalls because the only honest answer is "let me render that and get back to you." Every architect knows that stall.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">At AEC+Tech, we've watched the AEC tools we cover get very good at making the picture look real. What's changing now is where that picture sits in the process, moving from documentation into the decision itself.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">For most of the last decade, progress in architectural visualization has been measured in image quality. Physically accurate lighting, richer material systems, and real-time ray tracing have closed much of the gap between a render and a photograph. <strong>What used to count as exceptional is now the baseline clients expect.</strong></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Rendering has improved fast. One part of the workflow has barely moved.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Design reviews still lean on static images, pre-rendered animations, and fixed camera paths. Those outputs record decisions well enough, but they sit outside the conversation. The moment a meeting turns toward a different material, a new lighting condition, or an alternate scheme, the presentation stalls while someone prepares fresh visuals elsewhere.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">That gap matters more as practice becomes more collaborative. Clients, consultants, engineers, and developers now weigh in across the whole design process, not only at the end. Meetings have turned into working sessions where decisions take shape in the room. The way architecture gets presented has to keep up with that.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">So visualization is starting to play a different part. Beyond the final picture, it is becoming a medium for discussion, comparison, and decisions made on the spot. The next step forward may be interaction as much as realism.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Every architect knows the moment a client asks to see it another way and the room goes quiet waiting on new visuals. D5 says 3.1 closes that gap, and will <span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong><a href="https://www.d5render.com/webinars/whats-new-in-d5-3-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prove it live on July 21</a></strong></span></span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Answer "Can We See It Another Way?" On the Spot&nbsp;</span></strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">This is the thinking behind <a href="https://bit.ly/d5-3-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>D5 3.1.</strong></a></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Plenty of tools compete on how convincing the picture looks. Fewer ask what happens to it once a room full of stakeholders starts pushing back.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The release starts from a practical question: how does visualization stay useful once the meeting starts?</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">D5's answer is Interactive Presentation, a workflow that lets architects organize a review like a slide deck while keeping the live project open behind it.</span></p>

<div>
<p dir="ltr">Instead of preparing several image sets or separate animations ahead of time, teams can move between design schemes, materials, lighting, weather, viewpoints, and object visibility inside a single presentation. A question that used to interrupt the review can be explored right away. Real-time scene switching runs through slides and 3D triggers, so the flow of the meeting holds together.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The presentation becomes a working space for the design, one the team can steer as the discussion moves.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Let Clients Walk the Space Before It Exists&nbsp;</span></strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr">Interactive Presentation sits inside a wider set of tools aimed at making review more interactive and easier to adapt to the room.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Stereoscopic Panorama brings depth-aware panoramic views to VR, which helps clients and project teams read scale, materials, and how spaces relate to one another. Better VR navigation and controller handling make VR walkthroughs steady enough for everyday reviews rather than occasional demos.</p>
<strong id="docs-internal-guid-9ee4bad2-7fff-95c1-c68f-c2647d295577"></strong></div>
<div>
<p dir="ltr">Spatial Tour has moved along too, with faster scene generation, smoother transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces, and dollhouse views that make it simpler to move through a complicated project.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These tools sit alongside still renders and animations and widen the options, so a team can pick the right way to explore a design based on the audience, the project stage, and what the review needs to settle.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Start Seeing the Design the Moment You Model It&nbsp;</span></strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr">The quality of any review depends on everything that happens before it.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As visualization gets pulled deeper into design work, architects increasingly want to test ideas while those ideas are still moving, instead of waiting for documentation to finish. In that sense, presentation begins earlier than the slide deck. It begins when a team first tries out form, light, material, atmosphere, and how a space feels to move through.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In practice, the visual thinking usually happens long before anyone opens presentation software, and tools have been slow to meet designers there.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">That continuity reaches past D5 Render itself. After its earlier <a href="https://www.aecplustech.com/tools/sketchup">SketchUp</a> release, D5 Lite now works inside Rhino and <a href="https://www.aecplustech.com/tools/revit">Revit</a>, bringing real-time visualization into more of the tools architects already use. Designers can preview materials, lighting, and visual direction without leaving the modeling environment, which supports quicker exploration during concept work, massing studies, facade development, and iterative testing.</p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech-files.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/faae324a-8c58-4578-aac2-06f9faac39b1.png" alt="D5 Lite: Visualize projects directly inside Rhino, Revit and Sketchup" width="1080">

<div>
<p dir="ltr">D5 Lite is built for that early work, making design decisions more visual from the start. When a project needs higher-end imagery, animation, or an interactive presentation, the work carries on into D5 Render. Paired with Cloud Collaboration, distributed teams can review and share work with less reliance on manual file swaps or local hardware, which keeps things continuous from concept through client review.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>Photoreal That Holds Up When Clients Look Closely&nbsp;</strong></span></h2>
<p dir="ltr">As presentations get more interactive, the visuals behind them matter even more. A live scene only works if it holds up when someone leans in.</p>
<p dir="ltr">D5 Render 3.1 adds a set of production-focused improvements that strengthen realism while keeping real-time response.&nbsp;</p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech-files.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/84679fde-46df-4239-985d-65e93278fb1f.png" alt="ACEScg Color Space preserves richer HDR color detail and supports professional ACES workflows" width="1080">

</figure>
<p dir="ltr">The move to an ACEScg working color space brings in a production-grade color pipeline, the kind used in film and visual effects, which improves color consistency across visualization and post-production. HeightField Tracing gives displacement materials richer surface relief without adding geometric weight, so brick, stone, and timber keep convincing physical depth even in large scenes.</p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech-files.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/196052f2-45b2-4577-a1c1-32e97aa7bc83.png" alt="Seasonal Vegetation lets foliage and branch structure change by date, previewing all seasons in one scene" width="1080">
<figcaption spellcheck="false" data-qb-tmp-id="lt-626429" data-gramm="false"><em>Seasonal Vegetation lets foliage and branch structure change by date, previewing all seasons in one scene</em></figcaption>
</figure>
<p dir="ltr">Landscape work gains more nuance through Seasonal Vegetation, which lets foliage and branch structure change by date and previews a full year of a planting scheme in one scene. A run of smaller refinements rounds it out, including Custom Pivot, MeasureLine, improved City Generator controls, smarter Auto Exposure, and wider Gaussian Splatting support. Each one trims repetitive adjustments and keeps production moving.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It adds up to one point. An interactive presentation is only as good as the rendering underneath it, and that rendering has to hold both fidelity and speed at once.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>From Better Images to Better Decisions&nbsp;</strong></span></h2>
<p dir="ltr">Architectural visualization has spent years chasing realism. That work continues, though realism on its own no longer defines the field.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As projects get more collaborative, the ability to move between options, respond to feedback, and explain a design in context is becoming just as important. Presentations are becoming part of the design process itself.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="ltr"><strong><em>"The tools we end up writing about at AEC+Tech are rarely the ones with the longest feature list. They're the ones that change how a decision gets made."&nbsp; &mdash; Niknaz Aftahi&nbsp;</em></strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="ltr">D5 3.1 reflects that direction. It builds presentation into the design work, making visualization a place where ideas can be explored, compared, and refined with the people in the room.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Whether this turns out to be the next phase of the discipline is still an open question. The goal is clearly shifting, from producing better images toward better conversations about the work.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The biggest change in D5 3.1 sits outside the render itself. Visualization now stays in play through the whole conversation, long after the image is done.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>See it live&nbsp;</strong></span></h2>

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

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

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

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

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

<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The AI plan review tools that earn a place in AEC workflows will be the ones built and shaped by the people doing the work, not the ones that promise to do the thinking for them. The engineers on this panel were not looking for software to replace their judgment. They were looking for a reviewer that helps them protect it. That is a smaller promise than replacing an engineer, and a far more useful one.</span></p>

Unanet Company Overview

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

Built for the Way AEC Firms Work

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

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

One Connected Platform for Better Visibility

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

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

ERP Designed for Project-Based Operations

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

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

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

CRM That Supports Growth

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

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

Practical AI for Smarter Decisions

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

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

Trusted by Thousands of Project-Driven Firms

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.

Flying Buttress is an AEC-focused MSP providing managed IT, cybersecurity, and executive-level technology strategy for firms that need their infrastructure to support real-world design and delivery demands

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

<h2>About California Takeoff</h2>
<p>At California Takeoff, we are providing construction estimating services with accuracy, efficiency, and precision with the fastest turnaround time in the industry. Our skilled estimators provide construction estimating and takeoff services and accurate cost estimates to help general contractors, builders, engineers, subcontractors, architects, developers, and project managers improve their projects.</p>
<p>With 16+ years of experience and 5,000+ projects delivered, the firm covers all California counties with a 24-48 hour turnaround and a stated 99% accuracy rate.</p>
<h2>Estimating Services</h2>
<h3>Construction Estimating and Quantity Takeoffs</h3>
<p>Full-service construction estimating and quantity takeoffs for contractors, developers, and owners across California. From a single-trade takeoff to a complete multi-division estimate, our estimators work from your plans and specs to deliver bid-ready numbers organized by CSI MasterFormat.</p>
<h3>Residential Estimating</h3>
<p>Detailed estimates for everything from single custom homes to large multifamily and tract developments - custom and luxury single-family homes, tract and production housing, ADUs, additions, remodels, apartments, condos and townhomes.</p>
<h3>Commercial Estimating</h3>
<p>Complete, reconciled commercial estimates covering office, retail and mixed-use, tenant improvements, core-and-shell, restaurants, medical and dental offices, hospitality, schools and public buildings - with cross-trade reconciliation so there is no double-counting at the seams.</p>
<h3>Industrial Estimating</h3>
<p>Warehouses, distribution and logistics facilities, manufacturing and processing plants, cold storage, and power and utility installations - quantifying the structural steel, heavy concrete, large-scale MEP and equipment anchorage that drive these budgets.</p>
<h3>Civil Estimating</h3>
<p>Heavy-civil and site-infrastructure estimating built around earthwork accuracy: cut/fill volumes with haul quantities, wet and dry utilities, paving, drainage, and erosion control.</p>
<h3>Preliminary Estimating</h3>
<p>Conceptual, budget and ROM estimates using parametric and square-foot methods plus historical cost data, mapped to AACE estimate classes from Class 5 order-of-magnitude through to detailed bid-level estimates as the design matures.</p>
<h2>Trades Covered</h2>
<p>Our cost estimators are highly skilled in performing quantity takeoffs for all CSI divisions:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Concrete</strong> - volume by mix design, formwork areas, rebar by size and weight</li>
<li><strong>Masonry</strong> - CMU, brick, stone and glass block by unit count and wall area</li>
<li><strong>Metals and structural steel</strong> - stairs, railings, connections, light-gauge framing</li>
<li><strong>Mechanical and HVAC</strong> - refrigerant and hydronic piping, insulation, equipment</li>
<li><strong>Electrical</strong> - devices, fixtures, conduit and wire, panels and gear</li>
<li><strong>Plumbing</strong> - fixtures, pipe by material and diameter, valves and supports</li>
<li><strong>Drywall</strong> - board by thickness and type, metal framing, finish levels 0-5</li>
<li><strong>Roofing</strong> - low-slope and steep-slope systems, flashing, penetrations</li>
<li><strong>Openings</strong> - doors, frames, windows, glazing and hardware schedules</li>
<li><strong>Millwork, painting and flooring</strong> - trim by LF, net paintable areas, flooring by SF and type</li>
</ul>
<h2>California-Specific Cost Data</h2>
<p>Estimating in California isn't as simple as applying a national cost-per-square-foot average. Title 24 energy compliance, seismic retrofit requirements, and county-specific permit fees all add layers most other states don't deal with. Estimates are built from current material pricing and prevailing wage data.</p>
<p>Cost per square foot shifts sharply by region - sometimes by 30% or more. Labour rates in the Bay Area and Los Angeles run well above the state average due to union requirements and permitting complexity, while the Central Valley stays noticeably lower on both labour and materials. Figures are pulled from live project estimates rather than national or third-party averages. Public work also brings DSA review for schools and HCAI/OSHPD for healthcare, both of which carry cost consequences.</p>
<h2>How It Works</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Submit your plans</strong> - upload drawings, blueprints or specs; PDF, CAD, Revit and all standard formats accepted, with a quote in 5 minutes.</li>
<li><strong>Drawing review</strong> - lead estimators review every sheet and specification section, flagging anything needing clarification before takeoff begins.</li>
<li><strong>Takeoff and pricing</strong> - complete digital takeoff using PlanSwift or Bluebeam, priced against ZIP-code-specific databases adjusted for California conditions.</li>
<li><strong>Delivered in 24-48 hours</strong> - a complete, itemised Excel estimate with CSI-coded quantities, unit costs and totals, ready for bid submission.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Software We Use</h2>
<p>Planswift, RS Means, Bluebeam, Quest Estimating, Fastpipe, Fastduct, IMHS Marks Systems and Trimble.</p>
<h2>Who We Serve</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>General contractors</strong> - full-scope material and labour quantities without growing the estimating desk</li>
<li><strong>Home builders</strong> - residential material lists and labour scoping, counted room by room</li>
<li><strong>Subcontractors</strong> - trade-specific takeoffs with nothing padded and nothing missed</li>
<li><strong>Designers</strong> - quantity feedback while the design is still moving</li>
<li><strong>Vendors</strong> - clean, itemised material lists ready to quote and fulfil</li>
<li><strong>Remodeling contractors</strong> - renovations, additions and tenant improvements</li>
</ul>

<h2>About BIMWERX</h2>
<p>BIMWERX is a BIM consulting and coordination firm that helps construction teams coordinate trades, detect clashes, review constructability, and solve project issues in the digital space before they become expensive field problems.</p>
<p>BIMWERX is not your average consultant. The firm was built from the ground up with experience across design, construction, coordination, and field realities. Because the team has lived and worked on multiple sides of the AEC industry, it understands the needs, pressures, and expectations of the different project stakeholders involved - and knows where communication breaks down, where coordination gets missed, and where projects lose time and money.</p>
<h2>BIM Services</h2>
<p>BIMWERX supports construction teams with digital coordination, modeling, reviews, and documentation that help uncover problems before they turn into field delays, rework, and costly surprises.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>BIM Project Coordination</strong> - multi-trade coordination managed through the model rather than in the field</li>
<li><strong>Clash Detection</strong> - identifying and resolving interdisciplinary conflicts before installation</li>
<li><strong>Constructability Reviews</strong> - assessing whether what has been designed can actually be built as drawn</li>
<li><strong>MEPFP BIM Coordination &amp; Shop Drawings</strong> - mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection coordination and fabrication-level drawings</li>
<li><strong>2D to 3D Conversions</strong> - turning legacy drawings into coordinated three-dimensional models</li>
<li><strong>Architectural Modeling and Documentation</strong> - model production and drawing sets</li>
<li><strong>Construction Modeling</strong> - models built for builders rather than for design intent alone</li>
</ul>
<h2>Why Coordination Before Construction Matters</h2>
<p>The economics here are straightforward. A clash resolved in a model costs an hour of coordination time; the same clash discovered after ductwork is hung costs demolition, rework, schedule delay and often a change order. BIMWERX positions its entire service around moving that discovery point earlier - which is why constructability review sits alongside clash detection rather than being treated as a separate design-stage exercise.</p>
<h2>Project Experience</h2>
<p>BIMWERX has supported a range of project types across the southeastern United States:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Kernan Medical Office Building, Jacksonville, FL</strong> - a 54,000 square foot, three-storey facility, currently the largest multispecialty freestanding ambulatory surgery center in Jacksonville.</li>
<li><strong>Federal Reserve Adaptive Reuse, Jacksonville, FL</strong> - an 18,500 square foot building constructed in 1923 and designated a National Historic Landmark.</li>
<li><strong>Ludlam Trail, Miami, FL</strong> - Altis Ludlam Trail, a mixed-use development in the Bird Road area comprising 312 apartments averaging 820 square feet.</li>
</ul>
<p>The mix is instructive: new-build healthcare, historic adaptive reuse, and large residential. Each places very different demands on a coordination model, and adaptive reuse in particular depends on accurate capture of existing conditions rather than idealised design geometry.</p>
<h2>Who BIMWERX Works With</h2>
<p>BIMWERX brings practical BIM support to architects, contractors, consultants, and project teams that need quality work, clear communication, and a trusted partner in the digital coordination process. Clients have included design practices, specialist BIM consultancies, and major general contractors.</p>
<p>The firm reports 78% repeat client business - a figure that in a services business of this kind tends to say more about delivery reliability than any capability claim.</p>
<h2>Leadership</h2>
<p>The BIMWERX leadership team stays closely involved with clients and projects. Their work ethic, industry knowledge, and direct communication help shape the way BIMWERX supports every project team.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Jason Matthews</strong> - President</li>
<li><strong>Ramon Morales</strong> - VDC Plumbing Manager</li>
<li><strong>James Stephens</strong> - VDC Mechanical Manager</li>
</ul>
<h2>Working With BIMWERX</h2>
<p>The firm's stated goal is to help clients improve information exchange, strengthen collaboration, and solve problems before they become costly field issues - doing more than providing BIM services, and instead becoming a trusted project partner who helps make the client's job easier.</p>
<p>BIMWERX encourages teams to engage early, giving projects a clearer path from coordination through to construction.</p>

<h2>About Bimrock AI</h2>
<p>Bimrock AI is a construction technology company building automation tools for MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) designers and engineers working in Autodesk Revit. Our mission is to eliminate repetitive manual workflows that consume engineering hours - replacing them with intelligent, profile-based automation that lets MEP professionals focus on design, not documentation busywork.</p>
<h2>The Problem We're Solving</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>These are exactly the kinds of workflows that should be automated, but until now, haven't been - at least not without 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.</p>
<h2>Our Flagship Product: Autotag by Bimrock AI</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Key Capabilities</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Profile-Based Automation</strong> - 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.</li>
<li><strong>Automatic Overlap Avoidance</strong> - Intelligent algorithms analyze element positions and adjust tag placement to eliminate overlapping labels. No manual cleanup required after placement.</li>
<li><strong>Batch View Processing</strong> - 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.</li>
<li><strong>Full MEP Discipline Coverage</strong> - Supports Mechanical (ducts, air terminals, equipment), Electrical (panels, fixtures, devices, cable trays), and Plumbing (pipes, fixtures, equipment), plus general architectural elements.</li>
<li><strong>Linked Model and Workshared Support</strong> - Designed for real-world BIM coordination workflows, Autotag works seamlessly with Revit linked models and workshared projects.</li>
<li><strong>Custom Family Support</strong> - Tag any parameter on any element, including custom Revit families. Not limited to out-of-the-box content.</li>
<li><strong>Post-Placement Editing Tools</strong> - Bulk-edit tags, align leader line elbows, and reorganize annotations after placement for precise control over final output.</li>
<li><strong>Team Profile Sharing</strong> - Share and distribute annotation profiles across team members to maintain consistent documentation standards firm-wide.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Measured Time Savings</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>System Requirements</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>Platform Vision: Automated MEP Design</h2>
<p>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:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Documentation Automation:</strong> Autotag by Bimrock AI (live in Revit today). Automates annotation, tagging, and documentation workflows that consume hours of manual effort on every project.</li>
<li><strong>Sketch-to-BIM:</strong> Converting early-stage design sketches and schematics into fully modeled BIM elements, accelerating the transition from conceptual design to detailed engineering.</li>
<li><strong>Rapid Design:</strong> 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.</li>
<li><strong>Coordination:</strong> Automated clash detection analysis, spatial coordination, and cross-discipline alignment tools that reduce RFIs and rework during construction.</li>
</ol>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>Who We Serve</h2>
<p>Bimrock AI serves the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry - specifically MEP engineering professionals across all project types: commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, healthcare, and data center projects.</p>
<p>Our tools are designed for:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Solo MEP designers and consultants</strong> who need to move fast and deliver high-quality documentation without a large support team</li>
<li><strong>Team leads and BIM managers</strong> who need to enforce consistent standards across projects and team members</li>
<li><strong>MEP firms</strong> looking to standardize documentation quality, reduce QC review cycles, and recover billable hours lost to manual workflows</li>
<li><strong>General contractors and design-build firms</strong> that need efficient, reliable MEP documentation as part of their integrated project delivery</li>
</ul>
<h2>Technology and Data Security</h2>
<p>Bimrock AI's platform runs on Google Cloud Platform with industry-standard security certifications. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Customer data uploaded for processing is automatically deleted within 60 days. We do not use customer data to train AI models. Customers retain full ownership of all output - tagged views, reports, and exported data remain theirs entirely.</p>
<h2>Getting Started</h2>
<p>Autotag by Bimrock AI is available for download with a free trial, no credit card required. Pricing starts at $49 per month for individual users, with team plans starting at $199 per month for five floating licenses. Enterprise pricing is available for larger organizations.</p>

<h2>About Altair</h2>
<p>Altair is the technology partner for tackling projects with state-of-the-art simulation technology, high performance design and data science for the AEC industry. For forty years, Altair explored what it described as the science of possibility with its customers, leveraging the convergence of rocket science and data science, propelled by high-performance computing.</p>
<p>The company's comprehensive, open-architecture simulation, artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), and data analytics solutions empower organizations to build better, more efficient, more sustainable products and processes.</p>
<h2>Now Part of Siemens</h2>
<p>Altair Engineering was acquired by Siemens in a transaction valued at approximately $10 billion, completed in March 2025. Altair technology has been integrated into Siemens Xcelerator, the company's open digital business platform, creating what Siemens describes as the most complete AI-powered design, engineering and simulation portfolio.</p>
<p>For existing and prospective users, this means the Altair product line continues under Siemens ownership, with support services migrated to the Siemens Support Center.</p>
<h2>Product Portfolio</h2>
<h3>Altair HyperWorks</h3>
<p>The mechanical and electromagnetic simulation platform. Following the acquisition, HyperWorks software has been integrated into the Simcenter simulation and test solution portfolio.</p>
<h3>Altair HPCWorks</h3>
<p>High-performance computing and cloud products, enabling large-scale computation for simulation workloads that exceed the capacity of individual workstations.</p>
<h3>Altair RapidMiner</h3>
<p>Data analytics, AI, and machine learning solutions, now part of the Rapidminer portfolio within Siemens.</p>
<h3>Altair One</h3>
<p>A cloud gateway providing access to tools, data, and computing resources.</p>
<h3>Altair Units</h3>
<p>An all-in, always-on licensing system giving customers access to the full suite of software tools on demand rather than through per-seat licensing of individual products.</p>
<h2>Relevance to Architecture, Engineering and Construction</h2>
<p>Altair's simulation and computation tools apply directly to several areas of built-environment engineering:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Structural analysis and optimisation</strong> - finite element analysis for building and infrastructure structures</li>
<li><strong>Topology optimisation</strong> - deriving efficient structural forms driven by load paths rather than convention, which can reduce material use significantly</li>
<li><strong>Computational fluid dynamics</strong> - wind loading on tall buildings, pedestrian wind comfort, natural ventilation and thermal performance</li>
<li><strong>High-performance computing</strong> - running analyses at a scale and speed that desktop tools cannot support</li>
<li><strong>Data science and AI</strong> - applying machine learning to engineering and operational datasets</li>
</ul>
<p>Material efficiency achieved through simulation-led design carries directly into embodied carbon, which makes these tools increasingly relevant to sustainability targets as well as cost.</p>
<h2>Open Architecture</h2>
<p>A defining characteristic of the Altair portfolio has been its open-architecture approach - designed to interoperate with third-party solvers, formats and toolchains rather than lock users into a single closed environment. For engineering teams running mixed software estates, that interoperability is often the deciding factor in adoption.</p>
<h2>Partner Ecosystem</h2>
<p>The Altair Partner Alliance, now referred to as the Advanced Partner Alliance, gives customers access to a broader catalogue of third-party engineering applications through the same licensing arrangement, extending the range of available tools without separate procurement for each one.</p>
<h2>Who Uses Altair</h2>

<h2>About AIDA</h2>
<p>AIDA (AI Interior Design Assistant) is an AI-powered design partner purpose-built for interior design firms. Developed under INTON Business Strategy Consultant, AIDA is the AI layer that helps design studios move faster from idea to execution, reduce administrative overhead, refocus designers on creative work, and protect profit margins on every project.</p>
<p>Rather than replacing designers, AIDA amplifies them - taking on the repetitive, time-consuming, and information-heavy work that pulls talented teams away from what they were trained to do: design.</p>
<h2>What AIDA Does</h2>
<p>AIDA supports interior designers across the full project lifecycle through a single conversational interface. Designers interact with AIDA the same way they would with a senior consultant on the team - by asking questions, sharing context, and requesting deliverables in plain language.</p>
<h3>Concept Ideation</h3>
<p>AIDA helps designers explore creative directions, generate visual mood boards, and develop concept narratives in minutes rather than days. It draws on deep domain knowledge across materials, finishes, FF&amp;E, lighting, spatial planning, and design history to support exploration without limiting creative authorship.</p>
<h3>Project Planning</h3>
<p>AIDA assists with programming, scope definition, milestone planning, and resource allocation. Designers can describe a new project and receive structured planning documents, phase breakdowns, and timeline frameworks ready for refinement.</p>
<h3>Meeting Minutes</h3>
<p>AIDA captures, structures, and summarizes meetings - client reviews, internal design crits, consultant coordination calls - turning hours of notes into clean, searchable records linked directly to the project file.</p>
<h3>Administrative Work</h3>
<p>AIDA handles the documentation, correspondence, and reporting work that consumes a significant share of every billable hour. From client emails to status reports to specification logs, AIDA drafts the first version so designers only need to review and approve.</p>
<h3>Sustainability Compliance</h3>
<p>AIDA brings working knowledge of WELL, LEED, and other sustainability frameworks directly into the design conversation. It helps teams identify compliant materials, document credit pathways, and integrate wellness and environmental criteria from concept through specification.</p>
<h2>The Project Brain</h2>
<p>What sets AIDA apart is its role as a centralized project brain. Every brief, decision, drawing reference, material selection, client conversation, and meeting note is captured and structured in one accessible place.</p>
<p>Designers can ask AIDA any question about a project - "what finish was approved for the lobby," "summarize the last three client meetings," "what was our reasoning for the partition wall change" - and AIDA retrieves the answer with full project context in minutes. Institutional knowledge stays with the firm, not scattered across inboxes, drives, and personal notebooks.</p>
<h2>Built for Interior Design Firms</h2>
<p>AIDA is built specifically for the workflows, vocabulary, and deliverables of interior design practice - workplace, hospitality, residential, and mixed-use. It is not a generic AI chatbot retrofitted for design; it is a domain-trained design partner shaped by 15+ years of practitioner experience in international design and construction.</p>
<h2>Business Impact</h2>
<p>For firm leaders, AIDA addresses the structural economics of modern design practice: rising overhead, compressed fees, and the growing share of unbillable administrative work. By automating documentation, accelerating early-phase work, and preserving project knowledge, AIDA helps firms deliver more projects with the same team, sharpen creative output, and meaningfully improve profit margins on every engagement.</p>

AIDA is an AI design partner for interior design firms, supporting concept ideation, planning, meeting minutes, admin work and WELL and LEED compliance.

<h2>About Agile Networks</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>Why Architecture-Only Matters</h2>
<p>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:</p>
<ul>
<li>Every client is an architecture firm, so every engagement builds on the same base of institutional knowledge instead of starting over.</li>
<li>Hardware, software, services, and outside consultants are understood as one connected chain, not four separate vendor relationships.</li>
<li>Decisions get made with full context on how design teams actually work, not a generic IT framework retrofitted onto the profession.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Services and Capabilities</h2>
<p>Agile Networks pairs day-to-day infrastructure management with higher-level guidance that most firms can't get from a standard IT vendor:</p>
<ul>
<li>Managed IT infrastructure and network support</li>
<li>Cybersecurity strategy and risk reduction</li>
<li>Executive-level technology strategy and advisory</li>
<li>Software and tool evaluation, selection, and adoption guidance</li>
<li>Workflow-aligned technology planning across hardware, software, and outside consultants</li>
</ul>
<h2>Coverage</h2>
<p>The firm's footprint runs the Northeast corridor, from New York down through the Atlantic states, with additional clients outside that geography.</p>
<h2>A Reciprocal Loop, Not a One-Way Service</h2>
<p>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:</p>
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>Because every client is an architecture firm, the patterns Agile Networks sees are directly transferable, rather than diluted by unrelated industries.</li>
</ul>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>Forecasting Most Generalists Can't Do</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>How Agile Networks Positions Itself</h2>
<ul>
<li>Not a generalist MSP that happens to have architecture clients.</li>
<li>Not a software vendor pushing a single product.</li>
<li>A technology partner whose only frame of reference is architecture, working at the intersection of infrastructure, security, and executive strategy.</li>
</ul>
<p>This is the kind of firm that gets engaged when leadership wants a technology decision made with real depth, not another vendor pitch.</p>

Agile Networks provides managed IT, cybersecurity and technology strategy exclusively to architecture firms, serving the Northeast corridor since 2001.

<h2>About AEC Hub</h2>
<p>AEC Hub helps architecture, engineering, and construction firms adopt AI. There are nearly 500 AI tools built for this industry now, and more arrive every month. The hard part is not finding them. It is knowing which ones fit the work your firm actually does, what it takes to put them into practice, and how they connect to the software your team already uses every day. We help firms work through that.</p>
<h2>Free AI Assessment Tools</h2>
<p>We start with free tools that answer the questions firms bring us.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI Workflow Audit</strong> - takes one workflow (construction document production, proposals, submittal review, field reports) and maps its steps and hours. It returns what that workflow costs your firm annually and shows where AI, automation, or a straightforward process change would help. It separates those three deliberately, because plenty of workflow problems turn out not to be AI problems at all, and knowing the difference saves a firm both money and disappointment.</li>
<li><strong>AI Readiness Score</strong> - assesses where a firm stands across data, process, people, and technology, then points to tools matched to the specific pain points that come up.</li>
<li><strong>Proposal Generator</strong> - turns an RFP into a structured outline with a compliance checklist built from the solicitation's own stated requirements.</li>
<li><strong>RFI Cost Calculator</strong> - quantifies what unresolved RFIs cost on a project, which is often the number that makes the case for change internally.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Research and Buyer Resources</h2>
<p>Alongside the tools, we publish resources to help teams learn.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI tool catalogue</strong> - covers nearly 500 AI tools for architecture, engineering, and construction, organized by category, project phase, project scale, and use case. Each entry describes what a tool does well and where it stops, so teams can evaluate fit rather than read marketing copy.</li>
<li><strong>Buyer's guides</strong> - compare options within a category for a specific job.</li>
<li><strong>Curated stacks</strong> - show what a coherent toolset looks like for a particular kind of practice.</li>
<li><strong>Benchmark tracker</strong> - follows independent evaluations of AI performance on AEC tasks and labels every result by status.</li>
<li><strong>Glossary</strong> - gives teams shared vocabulary for terminology that is still settling.</li>
<li><strong>AEC Intelligence Briefing</strong> - covers funding, acquisitions, and product releases each month, so technology leads can keep up without watching the whole market themselves.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Advisory and Implementation</h2>
<p>When firms want help doing the work rather than researching it, we partner with them directly. A free AI strategy workshop establishes where to start, based on the firm's own situation rather than a generic maturity model. Implementation sprints follow, putting specific capabilities into specific workflows with the team that will use them. The goal is a firm working differently at the end, not a report recommending that it should.</p>
<h2>AEC Hub Platform</h2>
<p>We also build our own product. AEC Hub Platform connects a firm's Microsoft 365 and Autodesk Construction Cloud and reads across both. It finds what clients asked for in project email and checks it against what is actually in the model, so a commitment about door clearances arrives alongside the doors that fail the clearance check. Every finding cites the messages and model data behind it. The platform is in private pilot, configured per firm.</p>
<h2>Who We Work With</h2>
<p>AEC Hub is based in Atlanta and works with architecture, engineering, and construction firms.</p>

<h2>BIM Training and Education</h2>
<p>East Stroudsburg University (ESU) partners with Advenser to offer a joint certificate in BIM Training. The course provides insight into the impact of digitalization, lean and collaborative approaches on the delivery and use of built assets.</p>
<p>This partnership distinguishes Advenser from service providers that offer production capacity alone. Firms adopting BIM often find that the constraint is not modeling capacity but in-house understanding of how digital workflows change coordination and handover, and a training route addresses that directly.</p>
<h2>Who Advenser Works With</h2>
<p>Advenser's client base spans the construction supply chain: builders and general contractors needing coordinated models before site mobilisation, architects seeking documentation support during peak workload, project owners requiring as-built records for facilities management, and specialist contractors needing discipline-specific detailing.</p>
<p>Acting as an extension of the client's own team, the company allows firms to take on larger or more complex projects without permanently expanding internal drafting and modeling headcount.</p>
<h2>Why AEC Firms Choose Advenser</h2>
<p>The combination of an offshore engineering centre with established business offices in the USA, Middle East and Australia gives clients local commercial contact alongside cost-effective delivery. With operations dating to 2007, the company has accumulated experience across a broad range of project types, scales and international documentation standards.</p>

<h2>About Abbey Pynford</h2>
<p>Abbey Pynford is a UK-based ground engineering and foundation specialist that has spent more than three decades solving foundation problems for residential and commercial construction projects. Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Leighton Buzzard, England, the company has grown into a group of specialist businesses covering piled raft foundations, underpinning, mini piling, restricted-access piling, basement construction, and related ground engineering services.</p>
<h2>Value-Engineered Foundation Design</h2>
<p>The company's core strength is value-engineered foundation design. Rather than treating foundations as a fixed cost, Abbey Pynford's in-house team of structural and geotechnical engineers works to design custom foundation solutions for complex or constrained sites, aiming to reduce construction time, cost, and environmental impact compared with conventional approaches.</p>
<p>This underwritten, design-and-build model means the company takes responsibility for the engineering design as well as the physical installation, giving contractors and developers a single point of accountability for the foundation package.</p>
<h2>Foundation Systems and Products</h2>
<p>Abbey Pynford's product range reflects this specialist focus.</p>
<h3>Piled Raft Foundation Systems</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Housedeck</strong> - a piled raft foundation system developed for residential new-build and infill sites, particularly where ground conditions such as poor soil, trees, or contamination would otherwise complicate a conventional strip or trench-fill foundation.</li>
<li><strong>Comdeck</strong> - applies the same piled raft principle to commercial and industrial developments, supporting larger structural loads.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Specialist Site Solutions</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Quickcaps</strong> - a rapid pile-cap solution designed to speed up construction programmes.</li>
<li><strong>Treesafe</strong> - addresses foundation design on sites affected by tree root systems and clay heave.</li>
<li><strong>Floodsafe</strong> - aimed at sites in flood-risk areas.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Piling and Underpinning Services</h3>
<ul>
<li>CFA piling</li>
<li>Mini piling for restricted-access sites</li>
<li>Underpinning for both new construction and remedial work on existing structures</li>
<li>Basement construction and related ground engineering</li>
</ul>
<h2>Clients and Sectors Served</h2>
<p>The company serves a broad base of clients across the UK construction supply chain, including main contractors, property developers, groundworkers, off-site and modular builders, and structural engineering consultancies. Its work spans new residential developments, commercial and mixed-use schemes, and remedial or retrofit projects where existing foundations need to be strengthened or replaced.</p>
<p>Because foundation failures and ground-related delays can be costly and disruptive, Abbey Pynford positions its early involvement in a project, often at the structural design stage, as a way to identify ground risk and design around it before it becomes a problem on site.</p>
<h2>Group Structure and Ownership</h2>
<p>Abbey Pynford Geo Structures Ltd, the main operating entity within the group, is registered in England and continues to operate as part of the wider Abbey Pynford Group following its 2023 acquisition by construction and engineering group Conlon. The acquisition brought Abbey Pynford's ground engineering and foundation expertise together with a broader construction group, while the Abbey Pynford brand and specialist product lines have continued to operate under their established name.</p>
<h2>Why AEC Professionals Work With Abbey Pynford</h2>
<p>For architecture, engineering, and construction professionals evaluating foundation and ground engineering partners, Abbey Pynford's combination of in-house design, proprietary piled raft systems, and specialist piling capability offers an alternative to conventional foundation contracting, particularly on sites where ground conditions, access restrictions, trees, or flood risk complicate standard foundation solutions.</p>
<p>The company's decades of project history across residential and commercial construction give it a track record of applying its systems to a wide range of site conditions.</p>

<h2>About WRNS Studio</h2>
<p>WRNS Studio works with transformative organisations to advance their missions through architecture, planning and interior design. The practice approaches design as a process of discovery - fostering curiosity and exploration to bring clients' aspirations to life, with the aim of creating timeless, inspiring places where people want to be.</p>
<p>The studio operates from four offices in San Francisco, Seattle, Honolulu and New York, serving an international clientele. Founding partner Sam Nunes has described the studio's purpose as providing a platform to freely explore ideas and craft, joining the community of architects seeking to redefine the relationship between the built and natural environments, and between the private and public realms.</p>
<h2>Services</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Architecture</strong> - new build, renovation and adaptive reuse across a broad range of building types</li>
<li><strong>Planning</strong> - campus and site planning, masterplanning and long-range facility strategy</li>
<li><strong>Interior design</strong> - workplace, institutional and hospitality interiors</li>
</ul>
<h2>Sectors</h2>
<h3>Education</h3>
<p>Work spans K-12 schools, higher education and campus planning, including student housing and academic buildings. Recent recognition includes an ENR Best K-12 Education regional award for the Sonoma Academy Performing Arts Center and a DBIA Western Pacific design-build award for Mayo Hall at Cal Maritime.</p>
<h3>Workplace</h3>
<p>The studio has designed offices for major technology clients, including projects for Intuit and Amazon that have earned AIA California, AIA Interior Architecture and NYCxDesign recognition.</p>
<h3>Health</h3>
<p>The Frist Health Center at Princeton University has been among the studio's most decorated recent projects, receiving a Healthcare Design Platinum award, an SCUP Excellence in Architecture award for adaptive reuse, and AIA honours in New Jersey and New York State.</p>
<h3>Science</h3>
<p>Laboratory and research environments requiring specialised systems, containment and flexible technical infrastructure.</p>
<h3>Residential and Community</h3>
<p>Housing and civic projects include The Kelsey Civic Center, an accessibility-focused affordable housing development in San Francisco, and Brickline in San Mateo, a mass-timber mixed-use scheme recognised with a Gold Nugget Grand Award for Best Infill.</p>
<h3>Transportation and Reuse</h3>
<p>Transport-related buildings and structures, alongside a dedicated adaptive reuse practice that treats existing buildings as a resource rather than a constraint.</p>
<h2>Sustainability</h2>
<p>Sustainable design sits at the centre of the practice rather than at its edges. The studio's Redmond Campus project received a Living Future Climate Building Impact Award, and its work with mass timber and adaptive reuse reflects a consistent focus on embodied carbon - the share of a building's climate impact that is fixed the day construction finishes and cannot be improved afterwards.</p>
<h2>Recognition</h2>
<p>WRNS Studio was named the sixth most innovative company in architecture by Fast Company in 2024, and was an Architect's Newspaper Best of Practice editors' pick for large firms in the West. Its projects appear regularly in Architectural Record, Interior Design and Metropolis.</p>
<h2>Working With WRNS Studio</h2>
<p>Clients include universities and school districts, health systems, technology companies, housing developers, public agencies and cultural institutions. For organisations seeking design that is both award-winning and grounded in environmental performance, the studio offers an established West Coast practice with national reach.</p>
<h2>Design Process</h2>
<p>The studio's stated method - design as discovery - means early project stages are spent testing options rather than refining a single preferred solution. For institutional clients with complex stakeholder groups, that front-loaded exploration tends to surface conflicting requirements while they can still be resolved on paper.</p>
<h2>Adaptive Reuse</h2>
<p>Reuse is treated as a distinct project category with its own portfolio. Working within an existing structure imposes constraints that new build does not, but it also preserves the carbon already invested in the building - which is why the studio's award-winning reuse work sits alongside its sustainability record rather than separate from it.</p>

<h2>About Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects</h2>
<p>Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects is a Danish architectural practice founded in 1922 by Vilhelm Lauritzen, one of the defining figures of twentieth-century Danish modernism and a recognised master of functionalism. The founder led the studio until 1969, and the practice has continued without interruption for more than a century - among the longest continuously operating architectural offices in Denmark.</p>
<p>The studio occupies a converted warehouse in Copenhagen's Nordhavn district and employs around 150 architects, constructing architects, technical specialists and administrative staff.</p>
<h2>Design Philosophy</h2>
<p>The practice describes itself as a modern studio developing architecture, design and urban space at every conceivable scale. Its approach begins from the uniqueness of each commission rather than a house style, working closely with developers, stakeholders and partners to arrive at solutions that meet the client's requirements.</p>
<h3>Bespoke Buildings</h3>
<p>Project teams are assembled around the specific needs of the client and the character of the site, drawing on a broad field of operation to deliver buildings tailored rather than templated.</p>
<h3>Evidence-Based Design</h3>
<p>The studio treats evidence as a value-creating tool, developing solutions grounded in accumulated experience and research rather than intuition alone - a discipline that carries particular weight in healthcare and workplace projects where design decisions have measurable outcomes.</p>
<h3>Quality and Security</h3>
<p>With experience across all construction phases, the practice places buildability and sustainability among its highest priorities, aiming to reduce the risk exposure clients face on large, complex projects.</p>
<h2>Sectors and Expertise</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Aviation</strong> - terminal and airport architecture, including work at Copenhagen and Oslo airports</li>
<li><strong>Transport infrastructure</strong> - metro and railway stations</li>
<li><strong>Culture and broadcasting</strong> - concert, media and public cultural buildings</li>
<li><strong>Education</strong> - university campus buildings and extensions</li>
<li><strong>Healthcare and welfare</strong> - hospitals and public welfare facilities</li>
<li><strong>Workplace</strong> - corporate headquarters and large office developments</li>
<li><strong>Urban design</strong> - masterplanning and public space</li>
<li><strong>Furniture and product design</strong> - a tradition dating to the founder's own work</li>
</ul>
<h2>Historic Legacy</h2>
<p>Two projects define the studio's early reputation. The original Copenhagen Airport terminal of 1939 introduced the separation of airside and landside functions - an organising principle that virtually every airport in the world still follows. Radiohuset, completed in 1945 as headquarters for Danish national broadcaster DR, shaped its form around the acoustic and operational demands of broadcasting, with a sandstone facade and interiors in Greenlandic marble, brass and teak.</p>
<h2>Contemporary Practice</h2>
<p>Today the studio works across culture, infrastructure, education and welfare buildings, with recent commissions including airport terminals, transport stations, campus extensions and headquarters buildings. Its aviation and transport expertise is unusual among architectural practices of this size, requiring an understanding of passenger flow, security zoning and operational logistics that few studios accumulate.</p>
<h2>Market Position</h2>
<p>Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects holds a position in Danish architecture few practices can claim: a designer of nationally significant heritage buildings that is also delivering major contemporary infrastructure. For clients in transport, culture and public building, that combination of historical authority and current technical capability is the practice's central offer.</p>
<h2>Sustainability</h2>
<p>Sustainability sits alongside buildability as a stated priority rather than an added service, informing material choice, energy performance and the increasingly common decision to adapt existing structures rather than replace them. The studio's own Nordhavn premises - a converted warehouse in a regenerated industrial harbour district - illustrate the point in the most direct way available to an architect.</p>
<h2>Working With the Practice</h2>
<p>Clients include airport and transport authorities, public broadcasters and cultural institutions, universities, health authorities, municipalities and private developers. For AEC professionals working in Scandinavia, or on aviation and transport architecture anywhere, the practice is a significant reference point.</p>

<h2>About Trammell Crow Company</h2>
<p>Trammell Crow Company is one of the largest commercial real estate developers in the United States, founded in 1948 and operating today as a wholly owned subsidiary of CBRE Group. Over its history the firm has developed or acquired around 3,000 buildings valued at approximately $90 billion, covering more than 700 million square feet of space.</p>
<p>The company works through roughly 26 offices across the United States and Europe, with a relatively compact professional team relative to its output - a structure that reflects a development model built around local market teams and partnership capital rather than a large centralised organisation.</p>
<h2>Development Sectors</h2>
<h3>Industrial and Logistics</h3>
<p>Industrial development represents a large share of recent activity, including multi-million square foot logistics parks in markets such as Phoenix, Houston and Fort Worth. Demand from e-commerce and supply chain restructuring has made this the most active development sector in the US market for several years.</p>
<h3>Office and Workplace</h3>
<p>Office development remains a core competency, spanning corporate headquarters, speculative office buildings and build-to-suit facilities for single occupiers.</p>
<h3>Healthcare and Life Science</h3>
<p>Medical office buildings, outpatient facilities and purpose-built laboratory and research space - a sector with technical requirements considerably more demanding than conventional commercial construction.</p>
<h3>Data Centres</h3>
<p>Development of mission-critical digital infrastructure, responding to sustained growth in cloud computing and AI-driven capacity requirements.</p>
<h3>Residential and Mixed-Use</h3>
<p>Multifamily and mixed-use development is delivered through High Street Residential, the company's residential subsidiary, including high-rise residential towers in major metropolitan markets.</p>
<h2>Scale of Current Activity</h2>
<ul>
<li>Approximately $30 billion of projects in process or in pipeline</li>
<li>More than 53 million square feet of new projects under construction</li>
<li>Over 56 million square feet delivered between 2022 and 2024, valued at more than $18 billion</li>
</ul>
<h2>Market Position</h2>
<p>Trammell Crow Company has been named the number one development firm in the United States by Commercial Property Executive for twelve consecutive years - a run that reflects consistent volume across multiple property cycles rather than a single strong period.</p>
<p>Its ownership by CBRE gives it access to the research, capital markets and leasing capability of the world's largest commercial real estate services firm, while it continues to operate under its own brand and development model.</p>
<h2>How TCC Works</h2>
<p>The company serves both users of space and investors in it. For corporate occupiers this means build-to-suit development and project delivery; for institutional investors it means development partnerships and value-add opportunities. That dual orientation means TCC is often assembling the capital structure, the tenant and the design team in parallel rather than in sequence.</p>
<h2>Relevance to AEC Professionals</h2>
<p>For architects, engineers and contractors, TCC is one of the most significant sources of private development work in the US market. Its pipeline concentration in industrial, data centre and life science space also makes it a useful indicator of where commercial construction demand is heading - developers commit capital well before that demand shows up in construction statistics.</p>
<h2>Development Approach</h2>
<p>TCC operates on a local-market model: development teams based in each city carry responsibility for site selection, entitlement, design management and leasing in markets they know directly. Entitlement risk and municipal process vary enormously between US metros, and that local knowledge is often what separates a scheme that gets built from one that stalls.</p>
<h2>Sustainability</h2>
<p>Environmental performance has become a standard requirement in institutional development, and TCC pursues green building certification across its portfolio while responding to occupier demand for energy efficiency, electrification and carbon reporting - particularly from the corporate and technology tenants that anchor much of its office and data centre work.</p>

<h2>About Tobishima Corporation</h2>
<p>Tobishima Corporation is a Japanese general contractor founded in 1883 and headquartered in Tokyo. Originally established as Tobishima Civil Engineering, it adopted its present name in 1965 and is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Its first recorded commission - demolishing the eastern enclosure of Fukui Castle - places the company among the oldest continuously operating construction businesses in Japan.</p>
<p>Across more than 140 years the firm has built a body of work weighted towards heavy civil engineering, and it operates today under the motto of Disaster Protection Tobishima, a positioning that reflects both its technical specialisation and the seismic realities of the country it works in.</p>
<h2>Landmark Projects</h2>
<p>Tobishima has contributed to several of Japan's most technically demanding infrastructure schemes:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Seikan Tunnel</strong> - the undersea railway tunnel connecting Honshu and Hokkaido</li>
<li><strong>Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line</strong> - the undersea expressway tunnel and bridge crossing Tokyo Bay</li>
<li><strong>Honshu-Shikoku Ohnaruto Bridge</strong> - a major long-span crossing linking two of Japan's main islands</li>
</ul>
<p>Projects of this kind sit at the outer edge of civil engineering practice, and participation in them is itself a form of qualification.</p>

<h2>Seismic and Disaster-Resilience Technology</h2>
<p>Tobishima invests significantly in earthquake-safe construction technology. In a country where seismic performance governs structural design far more than in most markets, that specialisation is a core commercial capability rather than a research sideline - and it carries over directly into the firm's work on infrastructure intended to remain functional after a major event.</p>
<h2>Construction Technology and Digitalisation</h2>
<p>The company has been active in modernising site operations, applying digital and automation technologies to construction processes - part of a broader Japanese industry response to an ageing workforce and persistent labour shortages, where productivity gains must come from method rather than headcount.</p>
<h2>International Operations</h2>
<p>Beyond Japan, Tobishima has a long record of infrastructure work across Southeast and South Asia, delivering water supply systems, roads, ports, railways and buildings. Much of this work supports social infrastructure development in partnership with international development programmes.</p>
<h2>Market Position</h2>
<p>Tobishima occupies a distinctive position in the Japanese construction market: smaller than the five largest general contractors, but with a technical reputation in tunnelling, marine works and disaster resilience that places it on the shortlist for projects where those capabilities decide the outcome.</p>
<h2>Working With Tobishima</h2>
<p>Clients include national and prefectural government agencies, transport and port authorities, utilities, healthcare providers and private developers, alongside international agencies funding infrastructure across Asia.</p>
<h2>Group Structure</h2>
<p>The business operates as the Tobishima Group, combining construction contracting with related activities in real estate development, technical research and engineering services. This structure lets the company carry a project from initial survey and planning through design, supervision and construction rather than entering only at the build stage.</p>
<h2>Why Tobishima Matters to AEC Professionals</h2>
<p>For engineers and contractors studying tunnelling method, marine construction or seismic design, Tobishima's project record is a useful reference point. Japanese practice in these areas developed under unusually demanding geological and seismic conditions, and the techniques proven on schemes such as the Seikan Tunnel and the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line have influenced heavy civil engineering well beyond Japan.</p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>ArchiMind &mdash; Compliance Is No Longer Manual</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">For decades, California architects have done the same thing: finish the drawings, then spend days hunting through CBC chapters, marking up PDFs, and hoping nothing falls through the cracks before plan check.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">ArchiMind ends that.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">ArchiMind is a native Revit plugin that turns California building code into a live, intelligent layer inside your model. The moment you run an analysis, every room, door, stair, corridor, and restroom is evaluated against CBC 2025 &mdash; automatically, instantly, and without leaving Revit. No exports. No spreadsheets. No guesswork.</span></p>
<hr>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Built for the Code That Actually Governs California Projects</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">California doesn't run on IBC.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">ArchiMind was built from the ground up for this stack:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;">CBC 2025 + 2022 &mdash; both editions, data-driven, always current</span></li>
<li style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;">CPC 2025 Table 422.1 &mdash; exact stepped fixture counts by occupancy, not simplified ratios</span></li>
<li style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;">Chapter 11B &mdash; the strictest accessibility standard in the country, fully implemented</span></li>
<li style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;">DSA IR 10-2 + IR 11B-10 &mdash; K&ndash;12 and state-funded project requirements that other tools skip entirely</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">This isn't a multi-jurisdiction platform retrofitted for California. This is California, done right.</span></p>
<hr>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>12 Domains. One Click. Everything Checked.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">ArchiMind evaluates your model across every major CBC review category in a single run:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Occupancy Load &middot; Egress &middot; Stairs &amp; Ramps &middot; Fire Resistance &middot; Height &amp; Area &middot; Light &amp; Ventilation &middot; Chapter 11B Accessibility &middot; Restroom Fixtures &middot; Plumbing Fixture Count &middot; EVCS Parking &middot; Exit Signs &middot; DSA Path of Travel</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Every result is tied to a specific Revit element and cited to the exact code section. Not "something might be wrong." Exactly what, exactly where, exactly why.</span></p>
<hr>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Not Just Flagging &mdash; Fixing</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Most compliance tools stop at flagging. ArchiMind goes further.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Click GoTo on any failing check &mdash; Revit zooms directly to the element. Click Fix &mdash; ArchiMind corrects it automatically. Door too narrow? Fixed. Handrail too low? Fixed. Ramp too steep? Fixed. Stair too narrow? Fixed. Corridor too tight? Fixed. Every fix is fully undoable with Ctrl+Z. Re-run the analysis to confirm.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Click What's Checked in the dashboard to see every check ArchiMind runs, which ones have auto-fix available, and what's on the roadmap &mdash; full transparency, no black box.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">For corridor and stair width violations, the Guide Lines tool draws red dimension annotations directly on your floor plan &mdash; showing exactly how far a wall needs to move. For restrooms, blue annotation boxes appear next to each room showing required vs. provided fixture counts from CPC Table 422.1, plus CBC 11B ADA clear floor area calculations.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">This is the difference between a report that tells you what's wrong and a tool that helps you fix it.</span></p>
<hr>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Compliance That Runs While You Design</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">ArchiMind's Live mode monitors your model continuously in the background. The moment a room change triggers an egress violation or a door swap creates a width issue, you know &mdash; while it's still a 30-second fix, not a 3-day redesign.</span></p>
<hr>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>For the Whole Team</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;">Architects &amp; designers &mdash; catch issues during design, not at plan check</span></li>
<li style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;">BIM managers &mdash; embed compliance into your standard Revit QA workflow</span></li>
<li style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;">Project managers &mdash; track compliance status across every active project from the team dashboard, no BIM file required</span></li>
<li style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;">Plan check consultants &mdash; pre-check before DSA or city submission and cut review cycles in half</span></li>
</ul>
<hr>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>The Numbers</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">200+ compliance checks &middot; 12 CBC domains &middot; 4 California code layers &middot; Revit 2023&ndash;2026 &middot; CBC 2022 &amp; 2025 &middot; CPC 2025 &middot; Chapter 11B &middot; DSA IR 10-2</span><br><br><strong>First CBC run free.

Solibri CheckPoint & the Future of AEC Model-Checking 

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

<p data-start="1823" data-end="2206">InspectMind AI is an AI-powered plan review and code compliance platform built for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. The platform automatically analyzes construction drawings, engineering plans, and technical documents to identify code violations, design inconsistencies, and constructability issues before projects move into permitting or construction.</p>
<p data-start="1588" data-end="1972">Traditional plan review and QA processes require engineers, architects, and reviewers to manually analyze hundreds or thousands of pages of drawings. This process is time-consuming, expensive, and prone to human error. InspectMind AI accelerates this process by using advanced artificial intelligence models trained on construction drawings, building codes, and engineering standards.</p>
<p data-start="1974" data-end="2377">Users upload their project plans directly to InspectMind, and the AI system analyzes the drawings sheet-by-sheet. The platform detects issues such as missing details, dimension conflicts, structural inconsistencies, accessibility violations, and code compliance risks. InspectMind then generates a structured report highlighting the detected issues along with visual references to the affected drawings.</p>
<p data-start="2379" data-end="2701">The platform is designed for engineers, architects, developers, contractors, plan reviewers, and government agencies who want to reduce risk and improve design quality. By catching issues early in the design process, InspectMind helps teams avoid expensive rework, delays during permitting, and construction change orders.</p>
<p data-start="2703" data-end="2947">InspectMind AI supports a wide range of building codes and standards including IBC, ADA, NFPA, and local jurisdictional codes. The system can analyze architectural drawings, structural plans, engineering reports, and construction documentation.</p>
<p data-start="2949" data-end="2966">Typical workflow:</p>

<p>SNHA, a Woolpert Company, specializes in mission-critical design, data centers and technology infrastructure, where documentation must be exact and consistent across many buildings and a large campus. This kind of work carries heavy, repetitive documentation demands: the same detailing, tagging, and drawing production repeated across building after building, with no tolerance for inconsistency. The firm wanted to reduce the time-consuming manual work that slowed project timelines, without compromising the accuracy its clients depend on. SNHA partnered with SWAPP to automate that production directly inside Revit. Using SWAPP's integration with the Revit API, the firm's AI-assisted workflows generated and updated documentation to SNHA's own standards, so detailing stayed consistent across every building on the campus while the architects focused on the strategic and creative aspects of the design. Work that previously took up to two weeks per project was compressed into under 48 hours, and the number of manual documentation tasks dropped several times over. Just as important, the firm was able to see its own standards through the lens of machine learning, which reinforced consistency and quality across the portfolio. The engagement shows how automation, grounded in a firm's standards and integrated with the tools it already uses, can transform delivery speed on demanding, repetitive mission-critical work.</p>

SNHA, a Woolpert Company, cuts data-center documentation from two weeks to under 48 hours with SWAPP

<p>SWAPP is operational intelligence for architecture. Instead of another chatbot bolted onto your workflow, SWAPP puts an agentic AI teammate, Frank, directly inside Revit and ArchiCAD, where it reads and writes your live model to do real production work: modeling, dimensions, tags, views, sheets, schedules, collision-solving, and QA.</p>
<p>What makes SWAPP different is that everything is grounded in your firm&rsquo;s own standards. SWAPP learns from your past projects, annotation habits, and QA rules, then enforces them on every new project. The result is complete construction document sets that look like your firm produced them, because, in effect, it did. Frank is the only AI Architect in the category that is not locked to a single authoring platform: it runs the same firm-tuned workflows in both Autodesk Revit and Graphisoft ArchiCAD.</p>
<p>The numbers are real. Firms use SWAPP to automate up to 80% of documentation tasks. Across a two-year span, SWAPP has delivered more than 35 million square feet of production-grade documents and saved over 104,000 production hours. Page designed a 270,000 sq ft student-housing project from concept to schematic design in three weeks with a 40% smaller team. AHA delivered a 550,000 sq ft permit package in a single week. MYS Architects reduced manual workload eightfold. HTA Design cut the team needed for Stage 4 documentation in half. SNHA, a Woolpert company, took work that used to take two weeks down to under 48 hours.</p>
<p>Every action Frank takes is traceable and reversible. Enterprise firms gate execution behind review steps, so automation earns trust over time rather than demanding it up front. SWAPP is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and your data stays yours.</p>
<p>SWAPP now offers a low-commitment trial, so your team can select the capabilities you want and see Frank run on your own live projects before making a long-term commitment. It integrates with Revit, ArchiCAD, Autodesk Forma, Procore, Trimble, and the wider AECO ecosystem. Book a demo to see it on your work.</p>
