AEC Hub Overview

AEC Hub is an independent AEC technology resource and AI consulting partner for architecture and engineering firms. We help firms find the right technology, understand where AI can create value, and implement practical AI systems and workflows.

AEC Hub provides free resources for researching and evaluating technology across the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. Firms can explore more than 500 AEC software and AI tools, get recommendations based on the task they are trying to accomplish, compare technology options, review buyer’s guides and curated tech stacks, and access research on AI adoption, benchmarks, industry data, and emerging AEC technology.

The platform is designed to help firms make better technology decisions before buying or building something new. Rather than starting with a specific software product, AEC Hub starts with the problem, workflow, and existing technology stack to determine whether a current tool, a new AEC software product, an AI workflow, or a custom solution is the best fit.

AEC Hub also provides AI strategy and implementation consulting for architecture and engineering firms. We work with firm leaders, technology teams, operations teams, and digital practice groups to identify AI opportunities, prioritize use cases, evaluate vendors, develop AI roadmaps, and move successful ideas into production.

AI implementation services include configuring tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot around firm-specific knowledge; connecting project and business data; automating repetitive workflows; building AI assistants and agents; and developing custom applications for pursuits and proposals, firm knowledge search, operations, and other AEC workflows.

Our approach combines AI strategy, AEC technology expertise, workflow design, data, and human review. The goal is not to add AI everywhere, but to identify the places where it can make work meaningfully faster, easier, or more reliable.

AEC Hub is primarily built for small and mid-sized architecture and engineering firms looking for a practical path from researching AI and AEC technology to evaluating options, developing a strategy, and implementing systems that people can actually use.

The traditional bid leveling process takes estimators hours of manual work — cross-referencing PDFs, building spreadsheets by hand, and hoping nothing slips through the cracks. MeltBid compresses that down to minutes.

MeltPlan

MeltPlan is the AI-native planning engine for the built environment, bringing code compliance, cost, schedule, and value engineering into one connected system. It helps architects, engineers, and contractors make faster, more confident decisions before construction begins — with transparent reasoning, verifiable sources, and workflows built for real project execution.

Melt Takeoff

Melt Takeoff by MeltPlan is an AI-assisted takeoff service for construction estimators that combines AI speed with expert estimator verification.
