AAL Innovation is a Hong Kong AI consultancy and startup dedicated to architecture, engineering and construction. It helps AEC firms adopt AI through strategic consulting, workflow integration, custom tool development and training, and runs an academy, a creative studio and a practitioner community. It also offers ArchMaster.ai, its own AI product for architects. The company was founded with support from Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks and The University of Hong Kong.
AAL Innovation describes itself as Hong Kong's first AI startup dedicated to the AEC sector. It was co-founded by CEO Adeline Chan, a RIBA-chartered architect who previously ran a design consultancy and worked on government projects. The company started with backing from Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks and The University of Hong Kong and now serves clients in Hong Kong and the Middle East.
Rather than selling a single software product, AAL Innovation works with firms on how to put AI into practice, from strategy through to day-to-day workflows, and supports that work with training and in-house tools.
AAL Innovation works with architecture practices, engineering consultancies, contractors and property developers, mainly in Hong Kong and the Middle East, that want structured help moving AI from pilot projects into regular use. It is a good fit for firms that need training and change management alongside tools. Its founder is a regular speaker on AI adoption in the AEC industry, including at RIBA Hong Kong events and industry publications.

Kestrel is building code compliance software that runs inside Revit, checking BIM models against jurisdiction-specific requirements during design. It flags issues directly on model elements and ties every result to a cited code section. Teams run compliance checks continuously, not just at plan check, so problems surface while they are still easy to fix. Kestrel brings building code into the model, giving teams a clear, real-time understanding of where their project stands.
InspectMind is an AI-powered platform that reviews construction drawings, specifications, and submittals for potential code violations, coordination conflicts, constructability issues, and missing information. Designed for architects, engineers, contractors, owners, and municipalities, it provides evidence-backed findings that help teams complete plan checks and QA/QC more efficiently. By identifying costly issues earlier, InspectMind supports faster reviews, stronger documentation, reduced rework, and better-informed decisions throughout project planning and delivery across diverse project types.
SketchPro AI is an AI-powered copilot for architecture and engineering teams that works directly within Autodesk Revit. It helps users review construction documentation, identify gaps and inconsistencies, answer project-related questions, and streamline repetitive BIM tasks. The platform also connects Revit models to AI rendering workflows, enabling teams to create visualizations faster. By combining firm knowledge, project context, and automation, SketchPro supports more efficient design coordination, documentation, quality control, and decision-making.
