Practical AI in AEC: How to Start, What to Measure, and What to Avoid

This article evaluates BQE CORE as an AEC-focused firm-management system. Built by architects and engineers, it mirrors typical A/E lifecycles and consolidates project and resource planning, CRM and proposals, time and expenses, native accounting and invoicing, forecasting, and configurable dashboards. It focuses on firm-wide adoption, real-time financial insight, scalability, and reducing tool sprawl.

AEC-Tech for Firm Management: Why BQE CORE stands out

Just a mere few years before 2025, the tech scene of the AEC Industry was rather easy to navigate. A handful of industry leaders, with very recognizable names, dominated the market for tools and software products from pre-design all the way until construction and commissioning. It was also a time when AI applications in design and engineering were not very commonplace and were hardly talked about, let alone implemented as full-scale products/services. Seasoned professionals would well remember this time, as the market then appeared to saturate with no innovations ahead.
Enter the SaaS boom in the AECTech space: over a span of just 2-3 years around the pandemic, hundreds of software products and toolkits sprang into existence, each addressing a problem that has long remained unsolved by the industry giants for years. Of these, in particular, products that specifically tackle and solve early-phase site design, massing, and schematics grew immensely in popularity, owing to their potential to solve some of the most crucial problems in building and site design. aec+tech has been following their journey for a while&mdash;our 2023 article, &ldquo;<a href="../../../blog/the-evolution-of-generative-design-tools-on-the-rise" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Evolution of Generative Design: Tools on the Rise</a>&rdquo;&nbsp;threw some much needed light on these innovations, playing our part in mainstreaming these tools to a larger audience.&nbsp;
Fast forward to 2025, the market for AECTech tools has only expanded multifold. There are more and more AI-first software and toolkits, with some tools having gained a significant userbase, challenging erstwhile &lsquo;big names&rsquo; in their domains.&nbsp;
We at aec+tech have identified Generative Design tools that have had a continuous market presence, and significant growth and transformation over the past 5 years. Their journeys from their early conception to their current maturity have been impressive, and it is remarkable to see how far along they&rsquo;ve come.
<h2 dir="ltr">&nbsp;</h2>
<h2 dir="ltr">TestFit</h2>
Probably one of the most notable early-stage feasibility platforms in the North American market, <a href="../../tools/testfit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TestFit</a> brands itself as a New Real-estate Feasibility Workflow, offering real-time insights into design, cost and constructability all in one place.&nbsp;

TestFit has transformed itself from an AECTech tool with a lot of potential, to realising all that potential to become a strategic partner for real-estate and property developers, helping overcome some of the biggest hurdles in the site design process.
<h2 dir="ltr">&nbsp;</h2>
<h2 dir="ltr">Autodesk Forma</h2>
Oslo-based Spacemaker was an early front-runner in cloud-based AI software that allowed property developers and planners to analyze different schematic options for their sites. Users were able to generate and optimize building configurations based on terrain, sunlight, wind, zoning, traffic, etc., which were informed by real-time environmental simulations for early-stage planning.&nbsp;
Soon enough, the software was making a name for outcome-focused analysis, including increasing unit density, improving sunlight access, boosting apartments with sea views, and so on: all those things that made it appealing to developers in the European market.&nbsp;
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/2cf46981-2cea-489f-994d-96410e32d0d3.jpg" alt="Fig. 4) Generative Design with Autodesk Forma" width="1000">
<figcaption>Fig. 4) Generative Design with Autodesk Forma</figcaption>
</figure>
Enter software-giant Autodesk in late 2020: in a massive $240 million acquisition, Autodesk bought Spacemaker and commenced its integration into their flagship early-stage design product Autodesk Forma. With this product, Autodesk has brought together Spacemaker&rsquo;s AI site planning, FormIt&rsquo;s freeform conceptual modeling tools, and their own new granular cloud data model, while hooking them to the live sync with Revit, through a file-less plugin. Autodesk thus achieved their signature unitized workflow, to transition from conceptual design to detailed BIM all in the same ecosystem.
The results? <a href="../../tools/autodesk-forma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Forma</a> adoption reportedly grew 500% post-launch, indicating rapid uptake among architects and early adopters of Autodesk&rsquo;s AEC cloud tools. In addition, Spacemaker&rsquo;s pre‑existing user base was migrated seamlessly into Forma, with significant cloud-based upgrades and rebranding.&nbsp;
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/16fc133e-8975-4abf-bfca-3de0ce6926d5.jpg" alt="Fig. 5) Environmental Analyses with Autodesk Forma" width="1000">
<figcaption>Fig. 5) Environmental Analyses with Autodesk Forma</figcaption>
</figure>
Favorably enough, what followed were lowered pricing options, making the technology accessible to a broader user base expanding beyond developers to architects worldwide. Since architects are already adept in Autodesk software, with most workflows in medium- and large-scale offices centred on Revit, integrating Forma into the workflow proved to be a natural decision for many practices, contributing to the large pool of users today.
Not only, the integration also saw newer product features and interoperability capabilities that weren&rsquo;t originally seen in Spacemaker, but are now a valuable addition. Forma lets you perform, apart from environmental analyses, evaluations of your project&rsquo;s embodied carbon, an increasingly growing concern in the AEC industry. Plus, Forma also enables you to link with third-party tools via extensions: it supports plugins like TestFit (for parking layouts) and Rhino Inside, fostering a wider ecosystem.

<h2 dir="ltr">&nbsp;</h2>
<h2 dir="ltr">Hypar</h2>
Launched in 2018 by industry veterans Anthony Hauck (ex‑Revit lead at Autodesk) and Ian Keough (creator of Dynamo), Hypar set out as a cloud-native, open-standards platform where users could combine modular generative tools (aptly called functions) to build systems like building envelopes, structures, floorplans, and so on. The co-founders placed a lot of emphasis on the accessibility of the product: non-programmers could simply click to generate intelligent design variants, while developers could craft custom functions via C# or Python.&nbsp;
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/1353c0d9-0767-46a1-beba-255781cab80a.jpg" alt="Fig. 7) Early Hypar Functions" width="800">
<figcaption>Fig. 7) Early Hypar Functions</figcaption>
</figure>
Hypar also pioneered the Text-to-BIM functionality with a prototypical chat-style interface where users fed building descriptions ("two-storey retail + 14-storey residential L-shape") and got full BIM models as outputs. Moreover, users could share, sell, or combine their functions using open formats (IFC, Revit export), akin to an app-store model, which contributed to their early success. By late 2020, Hypar had over 2,000 users especially in the North American and Northern European markets, quite the turnout for an AEC startup.
<iframe style="width: 774px; height: 436px; display: table; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dKxnoxAG1HI?ab_channel=Hypar" width="774" height="436" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

Followed by the influx of a $5.5 million funding in June 2023, Hypar expanded its features, growing the developer ecosystem, and targeting industry workflows like test-fits, healthcare, and workspace design. The company continued its focus on ease-of-use and accessibility of the tool, with many users highlighting intuition and approachability as key attributes that led them to prefer Hypar, compared to heavy CAD/BIM tools.&nbsp;
More recently, Hypar marked a shift to AI-infused layout suggestions, integrating large-language models to drive prompts into function parameters, thereby delivering an intelligent framework as a solution for further design exploration, rather than a single, stochastic, black-box answer. One should also commend the focus on designer control, where the visualization is linked to the parametric inputs rather than fixed-output generation.&nbsp;
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/f83b1b3f-1d8e-4718-91ff-287ed618fe26.jpg" alt="Fig. 10) Space Planning with Hypar&rsquo;s Layout Suggestions" width="500">
<figcaption>Fig. 9) Space Planning with Hypar&rsquo;s Layout Suggestions</figcaption>
</figure>
&nbsp;With an expanding pool of interoperability and ecosystem integration features, Hypar is certainly going in the right direction. A blend of automation with design control, fostering a collaborative ecosystem via functions, has been a fruitful formula for Hypar that placed it in a favorable position in the market. Thousands of users, real pilot implementations (e.g. S/L/A/M, Adrianse), expanding to healthcare, workspace, data center planning, all pave the way for a successful roadmap ahead, for Hypar!
<h2 dir="ltr">&nbsp;</h2>
<h2 dir="ltr">Delve - Google Earth</h2>
Perhaps the most interesting transformation of all the AECTech tools that we&rsquo;ve followed over the past few years may have happened to Delve. Launched by Sidewalk Labs in 2020 as a &lsquo;generative design solution using machine learning to empower real-estate teams&rsquo;, Delve has since then been acquired by none other than Google LLC. True, the multinational tech company has nested Sidewalk Labs as one of its urban innovation units.&nbsp;
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/b1257da7-46d9-4efb-b343-0a47c605261c.jpg" alt="Fig. 10) Generative Design with Google Earth" width="800">
<figcaption>Fig. 10) Generative Design with Google Earth</figcaption>
</figure>
It is however noteworthy that Delve as it once existed and worked, back in 2021, can no longer be accessed today. Rather, Delve leads to a Google Earth webpage (try it out <a href="http://sidewalklabs.com/products/delve" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>), wherein you could evaluate building and solar design options for early-stage urban development in minutes. It appears, all the generative design and site schematics functionalities of Delve are now a part of Google Earth, with an emphasis on solar potential estimation as one of its key features.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/e80b458b-b682-4f79-9053-84bf61bdeebd.jpg" alt="Fig. 11) Solar Design inside Google Earth" width="800">
<figcaption>Fig. 11) Solar Design inside Google Earth</figcaption>
</figure>
What&rsquo;s disappointing, though, is that none of these features are readily accessible within Google Earth right away. After an initial sign up, you&rsquo;re expected to wait to obtain a 60-day trial with which the Generative Design features can be put to use. More so, there isn&rsquo;t any information publicly available as yet about subscriptions, continued use of these tools, updates, and so on.&nbsp;
Seems like we are going to have to wait to fully delve into designing with Google Earth, after all!

<figcaption>Fig. 12) Earth&rsquo;s Generative Design features are currently unavailable readily.</figcaption>
</figure>
The last 5 years saw a tremendous growth in the advent of tech products for AEC, with many ripple effects instigated in the market as a consequence. New tools are introduced every passing day, each answering a question more nuanced and crucial than the one before. Like we keep reiterating, the market for AECTech products has been on a continuous rise for a few years now. There are many more, equally promising Generative Design products out there, like Finch, Digital Blue Foam, Skema, Giraffe, Archistar, Morphis, to name a few. While the technologies that back them constantly evolve, the rigor and the zeal that the industry exhibits in problem-solving, and the journeys that companies undertake over the many years of their development, are certainly something to behold.&nbsp;
And as we always say, we have some very exciting times ahead for the AECTech space!

This article discusses the growth and transformation of generative design tools in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry over the past few years. It highlights how these software products, such as TestFit, Autodesk Forma (formerly Spacemaker), Hypar, and Delve (now integrated into Google Earth), have matured, offering solutions for early-phase site design, massing, and schematics.

Top Generative Design Tools for AEC: How Far Have They Come?

Construction projects today face intense pressure to improve safety, comply with regulations, and boost productivity. Maintaining thorough site documentation is no longer optional; it is now mandatory for safety audits, client accountability, and regulatory compliance&nbsp;[1]. 
Yet traditional methods of recording daily logs and inspection reports are painfully inefficient. Site managers often spend over a quarter of their 10+ hour workdays just dealing with paperwork and reporting&nbsp;[2]. This administrative burden slows down projects and increases costs, as manual reporting is tedious, error-prone, and inefficient [3]. In response to these challenges, the industry is turning to smarter, AI-based inspection and reporting tools that can streamline documentation and free up professionals to focus on critical site work. Introducing InspectMIND AI!
<iframe style="display: table; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7ISsN2VS44g?ab_channel=SupportInspectMind" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Fig. 1) InspectMIND Demo Video
<a href="../../tools/inspectmind-ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener">InspectMIND AI</a> is an AI field inspection platform designed to automate and simplify construction site reporting. Using the app, an engineer or safety officer can snap photos and dictate voice notes, and the AI then transcribes and analyzes this input to automatically generate a polished report [4].
Key features of InspectMIND AI include:
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">
AI-Generated Reports: The system uses AI to convert field data into detailed, structured reports in minutes, drastically cutting down manual work [3].
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">
Industry-Specific Templates: InspectMIND offers pre-built report templates (e.g. Job Site Observation, Safety Inspection, Structural Evaluation) to fit common inspection types [4]. These templates structure the input and ensure compliance with standard reporting formats.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">
Instant Report Generation: With one click, the captured observations are compiled into a professional Word or PDF report and ready to share. What used to take hours of writing and formatting is delivered almost instantaneously [4].
</li>
</ul>
InspectMIND AI-driven site documentation improves both the speed and the consistency of construction reporting. In short, it acts as an on-site &ldquo;co-pilot,&rdquo; handling the paperwork while professionals focus on actual construction work.
<h2 dir="ltr">Project Context: &Scaron;pansko Swimming Pool Complex</h2>
The field evaluation of InspectMIND AI took place at the &Scaron;pansko Swimming Pool Complex project in Zagreb, Croatia, which proved an ideal testing ground given its scale and significance.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/0afcf634-a6e8-477b-b9d7-a85d8e43b7e0.jpg" alt="Figure 2 Aerial view of the construction site" width="1000">
<figcaption>

</figcaption>
</figure>
&Scaron;pansko&rsquo;s new pool complex is a high-profile construction site. It is a &euro;34 million public recreational center featuring an Olympic-size swimming pool, a smaller rehab pool, spa/wellness facilities, a fitness center, and 300 spectator seats; it spans about 5,900 m&sup2; across one underground and two above-ground levels, making it the first public swimming facility on Zagreb&rsquo;s west side &ndash; a key investment in the city&rsquo;s sports infrastructure [5]. Construction began in July 2024 with an ambitious 18-month schedule, targeting opening in early 2026 [5].
A detailed video of the site visit is also available [8].&nbsp;
Despite the fast-track timeline and a site incident in early 2025 that underscored the importance of safety oversight [6], the project has been progressing slightly ahead of schedule due to efficient management [7]. The active construction site offered varied conditions, from excavation and concrete works to mechanical installations, mirroring common challenges where efficient documentation is needed. With many stakeholders awaiting updates (city officials, engineers, the public), maintaining comprehensive daily logs and safety reports is critical.
<h2 dir="ltr">Experimentation: On-Site Test and Workflow</h2>
Kristijan Vilibić (Mastery of Digital) visited the site as an observer and tester, using InspectMIND AI&rsquo;s Job Site Observation template to document the project&rsquo;s status and any issues in real time. Armed with a smartphone and the InspectMIND app, he walked through the &Scaron;pansko complex&rsquo;s construction areas just as a site engineer would, capturing dozens of observations over the course of a site tour.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/f37f7816-5fc0-4ce0-ab3c-2f88d4500a57.jpg" alt="Fig. 3) Site visit with InspectMIND" width="800">

Kristijan integrated InspectMIND AI into the usual routine of a site engineer. He launched the app, started a new digital inspection session, selected the Job Site Observation template, and proceeded with the walkthrough as normal, except that all observations were now captured via voice notes and photos in real time.
The inspection began by configuring the project details within the InspectMIND interface. He entered key project metadata and specified his role as the inspector. Next, he defined two observation categories tailored to the day&rsquo;s activities: Concrete Works and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Compliance. The app&rsquo;s intuitive structure made it easy to organize field notes and visuals by category, setting the stage for a systematic evaluation.

<h2 dir="ltr">Concrete Works Observations</h2>
The first set of observations captured a full concrete pouring cycle, from delivery to final placement. This process was documented in real time with step-by-step visual and audio records directly in the app.
<ol>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">
Concrete Delivery &amp; Transfer: A cement mixer truck discharged fresh concrete into a large orange crane-lifted bucket.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">
Crane-Assisted Transportation: The site&rsquo;s tower crane hoisted the filled bucket and transported it across the construction zone.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">
Concrete Placement: Workers guided the bucket and controlled its discharge into a heavily reinforced structural section.
</li>
</ol>
Each observation included commentary and a corresponding photo uploaded into the app, which helped create a transparent, traceable inspection log.

<h2 dir="ltr">AI-Powered Report Generation</h2>
Once all entries were finalized with photos and descriptions, he tested InspectMIND&rsquo;s &ldquo;AI Draft&rdquo; feature. This tool generated structured text summaries for each observation category within the Site Description, Scope of Evaluation, and Conclusion sections. The AI-assisted output saved considerable time while maintaining a professional tone and structure.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/848df2ee-74e2-4d27-ba1e-3abe31100553.jpg" alt="Fig. 7) AI generated sections" width="800">

This on-site workflow took only about an hour, and by the time Kristijan left the site, a polished draft report was ready on his device. The visual documentation (photos of site conditions and work progress) is an integral part of the report and, indeed, of this case study itself, demonstrating how seamlessly the app integrates imagery into construction documentation.
<h2 dir="ltr">Findings &amp; Conclusion: Strategic Value for the AEC Industry</h2>
This case study demonstrated that AI-powered site documentation can drastically improve the efficiency and consistency of construction reporting. Using InspectMIND AI at &Scaron;pansko, Kristijan was able to compile a detailed daily report on-site in minutes with an app that required virtually no learning curve, whereas manually this documentation might have taken him several hours back at the office. This aligns with broader industry experience: field professionals have reported roughly an 80% reduction in report-writing time on average when using such tools [3]. The automatically formatted reports also eliminated human error and ensured a professional, consistent layout for notes and photos. Beyond these immediate gains, the successful use of InspectMIND on a high-profile project with tight deadlines and strict safety requirements highlights the strategic value of AI in construction management. The tool saved time, improved communication among the team and stakeholders, and helped maintain rigorous safety compliance on site.&nbsp;
Scaling such solutions across the industry could lead to safer job sites, faster project delivery, and stronger compliance with growing regulatory requirements, and regulators are increasingly encouraging the adoption of digital tools to enhance project monitoring [9]. By modernizing the reporting process, platforms like InspectMIND AI ensure that no critical information falls through the cracks and that all stakeholders stay informed in real time. Ultimately, AI-driven solutions address the long-standing &ldquo;paperwork problem&rdquo; in construction and are quickly shifting from a novel convenience to an operational necessity as firms strive for smarter and more efficient project delivery [3].

<h2>Building a Responsible Foundation for AI in AEC</h2>
Artificial intelligence is transforming architecture, engineering, and construction&mdash;but are firms prepared for the risks that come with the rewards? During a recent presentation at the AIA Conference on Architecture &amp; Design&mdash;the industry's largest gathering of architecture professionals&mdash;Aaron Vorwerk, Architecture Practice Leader at Egnyte and Niknaz Aftahi, CEO &amp; Founder of aec+tech, talked about one of the most critical challenges facing our industry today: how to responsibly use AI without compromising security or effectiveness.&nbsp;
The presentation opened with Mickey McManus's compelling observation from a prior talk that &ldquo;we're entering the jazz age of AI.&rdquo; Just as jazz revolutionized music through improvisation and creative expression, AI is opening new possibilities across every phase of AEC projects. As Aaron noted later in the session, 
<blockquote class="graf graf--blockquote">We&rsquo;re seeing AI transform how we approach planning, design development, and even field operations, but like jazz, success comes from understanding both the fundamentals and when to improvise.</blockquote>
The foundation for any successful AI strategy should be put in place long before leveraging AI tools. &ldquo;AI without a solid data infrastructure is like building on sand,&rdquo; Aaron warned the audience. With cloud data in the AEC industry experiencing exponential growth over recent years, firms are sitting on unprecedented volumes of information; unfortunately, much of it remains unstructured, redundant, or potentially compromised.
According to recent industry research, 59% of AEC firms have experienced cyberattacks in the past 2 years alone, and construction firms face an average of 226 security incidents annually. And a full 44% of these breaches involved ransomware, highlighting critical vulnerabilities that could be catastrophic when combined with AI's data-hungry nature.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/8ee76aae-e8f5-499a-ab59-6c3477b1d755.jpg" alt="Fig. 1) AEC firms are prime targets for cyber threats" width="1000">
<figcaption>Fig. 1) AEC firms are prime targets for cyber threats</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2>The 3Ps Framework: Practical, Purposeful, Private</h2>
The centerpiece of the presentation was the "3Ps framework"&mdash;a methodology Vorwerk explained to help firms assess AI initiatives across three critical dimensions: Practical, Purposeful, and Private. This framework was developed to serve as the guiding principles for Egnyte&rsquo;s AI product development, and the presenters felt that the same approach could be applied by AEC firms looking to evaluate AI tools prior to implementation within their practices.
"Is this tool actually practical for our workflows?" Aaron asked the audience. "Does it serve a clear purpose with our existing data? And can we implement it without compromising our clients' privacy or our intellectual property?" These three questions form the backbone of responsible AI evaluation.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/7fc38afa-b28f-42a3-a7b6-bb2dc5c0b7e4.jpg" alt="The 3Ps offer a clear guide for evaluating AI tools in AEC." width="1000">
<figcaption>Fig. 2) The 3Ps offer a clear guide for evaluating AI tools in AEC.</figcaption>
</figure>
The speakers demonstrated how the 3Ps framework applies across common AEC use cases. In planning and programming, Vorwerk noted that AI tools generating layout designs are only as good as the historical project data feeding them. "We've seen firms excited about generative design tools that produce beautiful layouts," he explained, "but if your underlying project data is incomplete or poorly structured, you're unlikely to achieve a desired or accurate result."
For design ideation, Niknaz highlighted how the challenges become even more nuanced. While AI can produce compelling visualizations and conceptual designs, firms must be cautious of tools that might inadvertently expose proprietary design methodologies or client-specific requirements. "Some AI platforms require uploading your design files to external servers," she cautioned. "That might seem practical in the moment, but it fails the privacy test completely."
The documentation phase presents its own considerations. Poorly structured BIM data can lead to significant errors when processed through AI systems, creating cascading problems throughout construction documentation. 
<blockquote class="graf graf--blockquote">Garbage in, garbage out isn&rsquo;t just a saying &mdash; it&rsquo;s a prediction of project failure when AI amplifies bad data.</blockquote>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/bedab6bc-cb49-4a1d-8ed1-5313bc57655c.jpg" alt="Bad data in, bad results out&mdash;AI needs clean inputs." width="1000">
<figcaption>Fig. 3) Bad data in, bad results out&mdash;AI needs clean inputs.</figcaption>
</figure>
From Data Literacy to Industry Readiness
Referring to a presentation by Amy Beckenham, the speakers shared the importance of data literacy as a foundational skill for AI success. Amy had defined data literacy in AEC as "the ability to read, understand, create, and communicate data as meaningful information." And firms excelling at data literacy don't just make better AI decisions&mdash;they preserve institutional knowledge, streamline critical project decisions, and gain substantial competitive advantages.
<blockquote class="graf graf--blockquote">Data literacy isn&rsquo;t just about understanding spreadsheets. It&rsquo;s about recognizing how your project data connects to design decisions, how historical performance can inform future strategies, and how to structure information so that both humans and AI can make sense of it.</blockquote>
The discussion also addressed the evolving regulatory landscape. With new privacy regulations and professional liability considerations emerging around AI use, firms need to establish clear policies before deployment. Vorwerk shared examples of firms that have successfully developed AI governance frameworks aligned with their existing risk management and quality assurance processes.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/b340c46b-7e91-4790-b46b-86c47c4c3aa4.jpg" alt="Niknaz and Aaron presenting the 3Ps framework at AIA25." width="1000">
<figcaption>Fig. 4) Niknaz and Aaron presenting the 3Ps framework at AIA25.</figcaption>
</figure>
Throughout the presentation, the speakers emphasized that successful AI adoption isn't about finding the most advanced tools&mdash;it's about matching the right solutions to specific firm needs and workflows. The presentation outlined a practical roadmap that attendees could implement immediately:
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">Evaluate Current Data Infrastructure: Conduct an audit of existing data quality, structure, and security protocols before considering AI tools</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">Choose Strategic Pilot Use Cases: Apply the 3Ps framework to identify low-risk, high-value opportunities for initial AI implementation</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">Establish AI Governance Policies: Develop clear guidelines that align with company values, legal requirements, and ethical standards for responsible AI use</li>
</ul>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/eea69d5f-1d13-4d7c-89c2-121b16775cf4.jpg" alt="" width="1000">
<figcaption>Fig. 5) AI success starts with a solid data foundation</figcaption>
</figure>
Vorwerk concluded the presentation with an AI-generated slide that provided an important caution: "Don't let AI hype outrun your readiness." The speakers emphasized that firms rushing to implement AI without addressing foundational data management and security concerns are setting themselves up for significant risks. "The firms that will succeed with AI are those that approach it methodically&mdash;building strong data foundations, choosing tools purposefully, and maintaining strict privacy standards."
Niknaz reinforced this message by noting that the industry's complex project requirements and regulatory environment demand a more thoughtful approach than other sectors. "We're not just building software&mdash;we're building environments where people live, work, and gather," she told the audience. "That responsibility extends to how we implement AI in our design and construction processes."
The presentation provided three key takeaways for conference attendees:
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">Foundation first, innovation second: Even the most sophisticated AI may generate hallucinations without clean, structured, secure input data. Firms must establish robust data management and security protocols before implementing AI tools.</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">The 3Ps framework is universally applicable: Every firm, regardless of size, can benefit from evaluating AI tools through the Practical, Purposeful, and Private lens. Tools that fail any of these tests may create more risk than value.</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">Data literacy drives competitive advantage: The firms investing in data literacy across their teams are making better AI decisions and extracting more value from their technology investments.</li>
</ul>
The conversations with attendees at this major industry conference reinforced that responsible AI adoption in our industry requires balancing innovation with security, efficiency with ethics, and technological capability with practical implementation. The thoughtful questions and engaged discussion showed that architects are ready to embrace AI&mdash;they just want to do it right.
As the industry continues to navigate this "jazz age of AI," the firms that will thrive are those that approach these powerful tools with the same rigor and responsibility they bring to designing the built environment.

Solibri CheckPoint: Web-Based BIM Model Checking for AEC
In fast-moving AEC projects, BIM model checking, coordination, and data quality can make or break schedules. Teams must review design intent, data validation, and constructability while juggling multiple file formats and common data environments (CDEs). Solibri CheckPoint addresses that reality with a streamlined, web-based BIM workflow: open your browser, review the model, run standardized checks, and share issues with the people who can resolve them&mdash;without installing heavy software or retraining your team.
CheckPoint is built for accessibility and consistency. Because it natively handles both Revit and IFC models, reviewers work from the same source information without exporting or converting files, reducing handoffs and version confusion. Its cloud workspace supports real-time collaboration, so designers, BIM managers, and coordinators can identify, assign, and track issues in one place&mdash;keeping feedback loops short and transparent.
The platform focuses on checks that matter across disciplines: clash detection for constructibility, property/data checks to enforce modeling standards, and free-space/clearance rules to protect operational and safety requirements. A built-in Data Viewer lets teams interrogate quantities and attributes alongside the 3D model, surface patterns, and export results&mdash;useful for early risk reviews or closing out punch-list items with clear evidence. Project Library features allow admins to publish shared filters, rule sets, and data views so every project starts with the same, proven templates, improving repeatability and auditability.

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

TAISEI Corporation is one of the “Big 5” construction groups in Japan, with 8,572 employees as of March 2021. Technical drawings are required on construction sites, and a company as big as TAISEI uses more than most. Such drawings are created at the office by the design teams, and keep evolving during the project. Construction workers depend on a constant flow of drawings because they need to keep up with frequent design updates. In addition, they need a way to share feedback from the field with the design teams — which is ideally done within the drawings themselves. Centralizing files in the cloud enables users to circulate drawing updates in real time. But in TAISEI’s case, the challenge is also to deploy a Mobile CAD solution to the thousands of iPads used in the field, without compromising on productivity and security.

Deciduous is a 3D printed pavilion that invites us to revisit our relationship with nature, through an experience reminiscent of walking through an abstracted botanical form.
Building on MEAN’s experiments with 3D printing in design, the pavilion is an exploration in scaling processes to the architectural realm.

Deciduous is composed of a hybrid of 3 different sustainable materials: CNC-milled Birch plywood flooring, Robotically 3D-Printed Concrete Base, and a series of branching 3D-Printed PETG stems, a plastic polymer up-cycled from 30,000 discarded water bottles.
‍
In light of Dubai’s focus on 3D printing as a sustainable technology, the hybridization of state-of-the-art Robotic 3D printing in Plastic and Concrete is a first attempt to explore the possibilities that the two technologies can offer, contributing to the emirate’s vision of ecological construction growth towards 2025.

Deciduous is designed to come together in interconnected parts, and is completely prefabricated off-site. The parts can be mechanically joined on a clean site with no need for heavy machinery. Computational modeling was used to conceive and quantify the design to a level of detailing optimal within the parameters and constraints of Large Format Robotic 3D Printing.

Deciduous

MEAN Designed a 3D printed pavilion for welcoming visitors into the desert of Wadi Rum, south of Jordan. The space serves as an oasis of rest and communal gathering. Drawn to its otherworldly beauty, The desert of Wadi Rum in the south of Jordan attracts visitors from all over the globe.

The topography of Wadi Rum closely resembles that of Mars. This serene desert landscape had been a stage for many space-age movies such as ‘The Martian (2015)’, ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)’ and ‘The Last Days on Mars.’

Considering the lightweight geodesic dome system of ‘Mars Camp’ located on a plot near the site, the design team envisioned a novel system of 3D printed panels deployed onto a CNC bent steel pipe system.

By grounding the tent form as a ‘diagram of forces’ emitting various ‘charges’ that correspond to seating areas, we looked at the phenomena of magnetic fields to unify those charges.

We used the patterns emerging from the interaction of one space to another to develop the floor plan of the pavilion. The physical phenomena of the magnetic force patterns between several nodes represent an opportunity for an exciting planning strategy.

To quantify this phenomenon into a digital algorithm simulating those patterns, the team wrote a script that adopts the ‘RK4 Method’, developed by the German mathematicians C. Runge and M.W. Kutta around 1900. The ‘flowlines’ from the magnetic field simulation projecting onto a digitally simulated optimized mesh generated via a script approximating catenary curves.

The script generates vector fields resembling magnetic forces manipulated to subdivide the structure's outer shell into panels within the printing range of a 6-axis industrial robot.

A stepping topography of a 3D printed concrete platform creates a transition from the sandy site to the interior. The mesh is anchored towards the periphery of the stepped platform, creating welcoming archways for entries.

The Desert Pavilion is the outcome of combining ideas from the site with current building technologies.

The structure's design forms a space of shade from the heat of the desert during the day, and a place of celebration, storytelling and rest, at night. It serves as a welcoming, hospitable shelter for today and a case study for inhabiting the arid landscapes of Mars in the future.

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

Autodesk Forma is a powerful cloud-based design platform developed to support architects, planners, and developers in the early stages of building design. As a successor to Spacemaker—an AI-driven tool that Autodesk acquired in 2020—Forma brings together data analysis, collaboration, and conceptual design tools to help professionals make better decisions right from the start of a project. At its core, Forma allows users to explore different building layouts and site configurations while instantly analyzing important factors such as daylight, wind, noise, and even carbon emissions. The goal is to give project teams a clearer understanding of how design decisions will impact a building’s performance, helping them optimize their projects before moving into more detailed design phases. What makes Forma stand out is its focus on real-time feedback. As users sketch out massing models or adjust site parameters, the platform evaluates each option against key performance metrics. This means teams can test multiple ideas quickly and identify the best-performing solutions based on actual data, not just assumptions. Forma also integrates seamlessly with other Autodesk products, especially Revit. This connection allows users to carry forward their early-stage design work into detailed models without needing to start over. It’s a smooth handoff that supports a more efficient and collaborative workflow across teams and disciplines. Another important aspect of Forma is its contribution to sustainability. The platform includes tools to assess operational energy use and, increasingly, embodied carbon—key areas for reducing a project’s environmental impact. These features align with the growing demand for climate-conscious design in the AEC industry. Since its release, Autodesk Forma has gained traction among firms that want to incorporate performance-based thinking into their design process. It’s especially useful in feasibility studies and client presentations, where visual clarity and data-driven insights can guide early decisions. As the industry continues to shift toward more connected and informed design practices, tools like Forma are helping lead the way.

Delve, originally developed by Sidewalk Labs, was a generative design tool created to help real estate developers and urban planners make smarter, faster decisions during the early stages of site planning. The platform combined artificial intelligence with user-defined priorities—such as maximizing sunlight, minimizing costs, improving views, or increasing unit count—to generate and evaluate thousands of development scenarios within minutes. Each solution was optimized for both performance and user goals, making Delve a powerful tool for navigating complex trade-offs in urban development. Delve stood out in the AEC-tech landscape for its ability to integrate multiple data layers—like zoning, climate, transportation, and real estate economics—into one cohesive, decision-support system. Its intuitive interface allowed users to adjust key parameters, instantly see the impact on design options, and choose a layout that best met their objectives. From developers and architects to city planners, Delve made it easier to visualize the long-term implications of design choices while streamlining the feasibility process. In 2022, Delve was officially acquired by Google and absorbed into the Google Earth team. This transition marked a significant shift in the product’s trajectory. While many of Delve’s original generative design capabilities are no longer publicly accessible in the same form, elements of its technology appear to have been folded into new urban modeling and solar design tools within the Google Earth platform. Now, when users visit Delve’s original site, they are redirected to a Google Earth page highlighting features related to solar potential and early-stage building performance assessments. These tools reflect the legacy of Delve’s focus on environmental optimization, though with a narrower scope and limited public access compared to the original offering. Despite the shift, Delve remains an important milestone in the evolution of AI-powered urban planning tools. It helped pioneer the application of machine learning and performance-based design in large-scale development contexts. Its acquisition by Google signals both the growing value of generative design in tech-driven planning and the broader trend of major tech firms investing in tools that support smarter, more sustainable cities.
