<div>&nbsp;</div>
As a former construction tech founder who built SaaS products, I've experienced the exhilarating journey of bringing innovative tech to life. I vividly remember the breakthrough moments, but also the times when our incredible solution wasn't connecting with our audience as quickly as we hoped. It wasn't just about the product itself; it was about the profound adoption and impact of when we truly started strategizing its market introduction. Many founders, especially in software or deep tech, have an incredible opportunity to redefine their path: they can transform GTM from a post-development task into a foundational launchpad for success. What if embracing this early focus is the most powerful move you can make?
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">&nbsp;</div>
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">Are you truly uncovering your customer's deepest aspirations and challenges even before your design begins? </h3>
Imagine co-creating a solution that feels like a natural extension of your customer's work. What if you could gather firsthand insights from their daily realities, not just assumptions, months before your MVP takes shape? Moving beyond surface-level surveys allows you to tap into the core motivations that inspire adoption, especially for complex software with intricate integration potential. Think of the innovation sparked by an early, unfiltered conversation with a future user eager for a transformative digital tool.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">Is your message cutting through the noise and sparking genuine connection long before launch day? </h3>
In today's dynamic digital landscape, a clear, compelling story is your greatest asset. Your vision for a new analytics platform or project management tool might be perfectly clear within your engineering team, but what if you could refine that message early on to speak directly to a project manager's most critical needs on a bustling construction site? Imagine testing and perfecting this narrative before significant development resources are invested, ensuring maximum impact upon release.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">Are you strategically choosing the most impactful channels, building authentic pathways from your earliest stages? </h3>
While tech trends offer exciting possibilities, the most successful software go-to-market strategies aren't merely about following what's new. They're built on a deep, early understanding of where your specific, often niche, audience naturally seeks out new solutions. What if you could identify and engage with your future customers where they truly live and breathe, ensuring your innovative digital product connects precisely where it matters most, right from day one?
&nbsp;
<h2 style="line-height: 1.5;">Unlocking Exponential Growth: The Power of Proactive GTM </h2>
Consider the immense potential from a software perspective: companies that master proactive&mdash;and, critically, early&mdash;go-to-market strategies unlock incredible opportunities. They maximize their marketing investments, connect deeply with users, accelerate revenue growth, inspire their teams, and decisively lead their market segments. This isn't just about avoiding pitfalls; it's about building a robust foundation where every feature rollout is celebrated, and every capital investment drives widespread adoption.
Here's what truly excites me as a founder: the amplified opportunity. Every day your go-to-market strategy is actively evolving&mdash;and integrated from the outset&mdash;is another day you're building market leadership, nurturing invaluable customer relationships, and establishing yourself as the undeniable category leader. Imagine the competitive edge gained when your software development cycles are perfectly synchronized with market anticipation and demand.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">1. Begin with a clear-eyed vision of your strategic position, from the earliest concept phase </h3>
What aspects of your approach are currently driving significant value, and how can you amplify them? Successful go-to-market strategies are built on leaders who cultivate genuine progress, especially when launching a digital product designed with the market in mind, not in isolation.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">2. Cultivate profound customer understanding, before you even sketch your first wireframe </h3>
What if you could personally engage with early adopters to uncover their deepest needs and aspirations? Or better yet, gain invaluable insights from potential customers who are eager for a transformative software solution? Their perspectives on why an innovative approach will resonate can be more powerful than extensive market research, saving millions and inspiring a groundbreaking product.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">3. Validate your vision with agile, insightful experiments as early as possible </h3>
Instead of relying on one large, costly product launch, imagine the power of testing different messaging concepts or even interactive mock-ups with targeted audiences before committing to a full build. The early feedback, even from digital prototypes, provides invaluable guidance, illuminating the most promising path to scale.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="line-height: 1.5;">4. Harmonize your entire organization around the customer journey from day one </h3>
Is your engineering team crafting solutions precisely for the market your sales team is engaging? Is your marketing team narrating the same compelling story as your customer support? A unified message across all touchpoints creates a seamless experience, attracting prospects and boosting conversion rates, especially when presenting a sophisticated software solution that empowers and educates customers.
&nbsp;
<blockquote>
&ldquo;The companies that truly thrive are not just those with exceptional products&mdash;they are the ones that inherently understand from the very beginning how to powerfully connect their innovative solutions with their customers' most urgent needs and ambitious goals.&rdquo;
</blockquote>
&nbsp;
So here's the question that fuels immense success, particularly for software and deep tech founders: Are you ready to elevate your go-to-market strategy from a reactive checklist after product completion to the dynamic, foundational competitive advantage it truly is, integrating it into every single step of development? Your next quarter's triumphs&mdash;and your team's unwavering confidence&mdash;hinge on how you answer that question today, transforming your tomorrow.

SaaS Founders: Are You Timing Your GTM Right?

<div>Engineering automation has moved from side scripts to everyday workflow. Teams want fewer handoffs and a way to turn hard-won know-how into tools they can share.To see what&rsquo;s practical, aec+tech spoke with <a href="../../../tools/viktor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VIKTOR</a>&rsquo;s CPO, Stijn Jansen, about the new App Builder&mdash;an AI-assisted environment for generating browser-based apps with optional low/full-code edits. Built on VIKTOR&rsquo;s platform with versioning and private distribution, it aims to turn calculators, checks, and post-processing into governed, reusable apps. In this interview, Jansen explains why they built it, what sets it apart, and how engineers can get started.</div>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/7e24c57b-8977-487c-add2-7bc6a684ecb4.png" alt="Stijn Jansen, CPO at VIKTOR" width="200">
<figcaption>Stijn Jansen, CPO at VIKTOR</figcaption>
</figure>
<div>1) So, what exactly is the App Builder?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The App Builder is an assistant that helps engineers rapidly create their own apps. From quick calculators to complex workflows. No coding required. Apps are easy to build, share, and integrate into existing projects.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>2) What challenges inspired the creation of the App Builder?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Engineers across industries still spend too much time on manual tasks: copy-pasting data, repeating calculations, and handling disconnected models. Instead of solving real problems, their time is consumed by manual work. When they want to improve their way of working, they often depend on scarce developers or IT teams, creating bottlenecks that slow innovation.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>3) Why rethink how engineers work?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Until now, automation and app-building have been limited to people with programming skills. But most engineers are no coding experts. Nevertheless, they know their own problems best and should be able to create the automation tools they need, when they need them. Empowering them to build their own apps makes automation and innovation part of everyday engineering.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>4) What gap does the App Builder fill?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Coding environments are too technical for most domain experts, low-code platforms often produce &ldquo;toy apps,&rdquo; and standalone AI assistants lack governance and integration. The App Builder combines no-code, low-code, and full-code options in one secure, transparent, and enterprise-ready environment built for engineering. </div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>5) How does it empower engineers?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The App Builder gives geotechnical, structural, mechanical, and environmental engineers a no-code environment to automate tasks, set up configurators, and link software. Direct integrations with tools like Revit, PLAXIS, Rhino, SCIA, ETABS, SAP2000, Grasshopper, Excel, and CAD platforms eliminate manual file handling and streamline workflows.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>6) What makes the App Builder unique?
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" aria-level="1">The VIKTOR platform is built by engineers, for engineers.&nbsp;</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" aria-level="1">Direct integrations with the tools you actually use (Revit, PLAXIS, Rhino, SCIA, etc.).&nbsp;</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" aria-level="1">Versioning, testing, and audit trails built in.&nbsp;</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" aria-level="1">Security and compliance from day one.</li>
</ul>
Unlike other no-code tools, the App Builder combines speed with enterprise-level quality assurance and governance.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>7) What kinds of problems can engineers solve with the App Builder?</div>
<div>
Short answer: anything from quick calculators to governed, shareable workflows&mdash;without waiting on scarce developer time.
Typical use cases
<ul data-start="221" data-end="540">
<li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" data-start="221" data-end="290">
Structural: build load/sizing calculators; rapid code checks.
</li>
<li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" data-start="291" data-end="381">
Geotechnical: automate design checks and reporting (e.g., PLAXIS post-processing).
</li>
<li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" data-start="382" data-end="462">
Mechanical: create product/configuration tools and parametric selectors.
</li>
<li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" data-start="463" data-end="540">
Environmental: run scenario analyses and generate standardized reports.
</li>
</ul>
Concrete example&mdash;turn analysis into a web app
Turn a recurring data-analysis task into a browser app: upload measurement or simulation data (e.g., an Excel file), run calculations, and instantly produce plots and a PDF report for teammates. For instance, to read acceleration data from Excel, you&rsquo;d specify the expected column names once; the App Builder handles parsing, validation, and output each time.

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

Building Better with BIM QA: 2025 Interview with Solibri

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

BAMROC: Revolutionizing MEP and MEP vs. Structure Clash Resolution in the AEC Industry
BAMROC is the first AI-powered software in the AEC industry purpose-built to automate MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) and MEP vs. Structure clash resolution inside real-world BIM coordination workflows. Instead of spending countless hours manually reviewing clashes, modifying routes, and iterating on design options, BIM teams can now rely on BAMROC to act as an intelligent copilot that does the heavy lifting with remarkable speed and consistency.
At its core, BAMROC combines advanced AI-powered decision-making to understand how MEP services interact with structural and architectural elements. It doesn&rsquo;t just highlight problems, it actively proposes and applies optimized resolutions that respect design intent, space constraints, and constructability. This allows BIM MEP coordinators, designers, and engineers to move from reactive firefighting to proactive, high-value decision-making.
By streamlining a traditionally time-consuming and repetitive coordination stage, BAMROC helps projects meet the highest standards of accuracy, safety, and efficiency. It reduces the back-and-forth between disciplines, minimizes rework, and cuts down coordination cycles, ultimately supporting faster project delivery and more predictable outcomes. BIM professionals can focus on design quality, system performance, and client requirements instead of being stuck in manual clash-by-clash troubleshooting.
As an advanced BIM clash resolver, BAMROC analyzes design conflicts, explores multiple routing scenarios, and intelligently adjusts MEP systems to create a clash-free environment. The resolutions are generated with precision, preserving clearances, avoiding critical zones, and maintaining the logic of each system. This level of automation and reliability redefines what &ldquo;productive&rdquo; means in BIM MEP design and coordination.
Whether your team is handling dense plant rooms, complex high-rise cores, hospitals with strict service zoning, or large infrastructure projects under aggressive timelines, BAMROC ensures that BIM professionals can achieve lightning-fast coordination with uncompromising quality. Adopting BAMROC is not just a software upgrade, it is a shift toward smarter, AI-assisted project delivery and a more efficient, future-ready AEC workflow.
