SWAPP is an innovative AI product that automates repetitive tasks in the architectural documentation and modeling processes, enabling architects to focus on design and vision. 

It analyzes a firm's previous projects, extracts design habits, and annotation practices, and develops personalized rule sets and algorithms. 
These are then used to automate the creation and annotation of architectural documentation for new projects, maintaining high standards without compromising quality.


Swapp is an AI-powered platform designed to streamline and automate the planning and design phases of construction projects. By leveraging artificial intelligence, Swapp helps architects, developers, and construction professionals create detailed, high-quality construction documents with greater efficiency and accuracy.

One of Swapp’s key strengths is its ability to generate full drawing sets, including floor plans, elevations, and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) layouts, significantly reducing the time and effort required for manual drafting. Instead of relying on traditional CAD and BIM workflows, Swapp automates these processes, helping teams optimize their designs while maintaining compliance with building codes and project requirements.

The platform is particularly useful for large-scale developments, where managing multiple design iterations can be time-consuming and prone to errors. By using AI to analyze project parameters and generate construction-ready plans, Swapp enables teams to focus on design intent rather than getting caught up in repetitive documentation tasks.

Swapp also integrates with existing BIM software, allowing users to work seamlessly with the tools they already use while benefiting from AI-driven automation. This makes it an attractive solution for firms looking to enhance productivity without overhauling their entire workflow.

Beyond automation, Swapp emphasizes collaboration, providing cloud-based access to project data and allowing teams to work together more effectively, whether in the office or remotely.

In an industry where efficiency, cost reduction, and speed are critical, Swapp presents a compelling solution for modernizing the pre-construction process. By automating design and documentation, it not only saves time but also helps reduce human error, leading to more accurate and efficient project execution.

Powered by AI and created by architects, data scientists, and LLM experts, SWAPP improves delivery time, boosts profitability, and ensures accuracy. 
It seamlessly integrates with existing workflows, empowering architects to embrace the new era of AI securely and efficiently.

SWAPP is easily accessible by your preferred BIM software.

SWAPP AI seamlessly integrates with your cloud BIM storage.

Discover how the Kusch Consulting engineering team streamlined their structural engineering projects, saving up to 20% in time using ClearCalcs.

Kusch Consulting is a structural engineering firm based in Australia that specialises in residential, commercial, and industrial projects. With a team of 32 engineers spread across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Adelaide, they handle a wide range of projects, from one-story residential homes to power station upgrades.

Richard Faulkner, Senior Structural Engineer at Kusch Consulting, first heard about ClearCalcs from another engineer who recommended it as an alternative to his existing software. Since then, Richard has introduced it to his team at Kusch Consulting, and over time, it has become an essential part of the team’s workflow. 

From quickly estimating beam sizes during initial project discussions to generating detailed reports during the design phase, ClearCalcs has made every step of the process easier and faster for Richard and his team.

A typical structural design project for an engineer like Richard begins with initial discussions with architects or clients to understand the project requirements. Richard often uses ClearCalcs early in this process for preliminary sizing and feasibility assessments. Once a project moves into the design phase, Richard uses ClearCalcs for detailed load analyses, calculations, and report generation.

The Challenge: Increased Data Required for Design of More Resilient Structures

An increasing number of Aurecon’s clients are following lessons learned from the Canterbury Earthquakes. They are requesting resilient structures in order to facilitate post-earthquake operations of their businesses.

In response, Aurecon designs buildings that employ the most effective known seismic mitigation technologies such as sliding hinge joints for low damage connections and Ringfeder friction springs that cushion seismic vibrations. These technologies allow a building to move during a seismic event with a minimum amount of damage to the building’s structural and architectural elements.

Data Grows in Volume and Complexity

Aurecon Sliding Hinge JointClinton Maulder, Associate – Buildings, Aurecon has needed a way to get data from an engineering spreadsheet into the Revit model without having to transfer it over manually. In one project, just one of many elements, sliding hinge joints – nine or 10 different ones – had to be tabulated. Standard detail tables had to be compiled. Engineering loads needed to be input into piling schedules; plate, bolt, and pre-stressing configurations for Ringfeder connections needed to be tabulated.

Conclusion

In addition to using Ideate BIMLink for this seismic work, it has also recently been implemented to coordinate sheet and drafting information across (65) emergency response service departments, with the work being done by Aurecon’s engineers at three different New Zealand locations. In the words of Clinton Maulder, “It worked a treat, with 65 emergency response facilities ready for people to populate and we didn’t have to worry about naming consistency, because Ideate BIMLink had taken care of it.”

According to Clinton, “Being able to effectively deal with source data and eliminate ‘double handling’ saved time and reduced the chance of errors. Ideate BIMLink is structured to leave a lot to the individual’s imagination. It is hard to come up with a finite list of things it can do.”
