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.

MeltPlan Overview
MeltPlan is the AI-native planning engine for the built environment, built to help architects, engineers, and contractors plan projects better — earlier, faster, and with far more confidence. Construction planning today is still fragmented across disconnected tools, spreadsheets, PDFs, and tribal knowledge. Teams are forced to manually connect decisions across code compliance, estimating, scheduling, and value engineering, which leads to slow iterations, missed scope, costly rework, and avoidable project risk.
MeltPlan solves this by creating a unified planning platform that connects the four planning pillars that shape every project: code compliance, cost, schedule, and value engineering. Instead of operating like a black-box AI assistant, MeltPlan is built for accuracy and transparency. It understands real AEC context — including codes and standards, building assemblies and elements, quantities and scopes, and project-specific conditions. Every output is designed to be defensible, with clear assumptions, step-by-step reasoning, and verifiable sources.
At the core of MeltPlan is the belief that planning isn’t just producing a schedule or an estimate — it’s making the right decisions early, before mistakes become expensive field problems. MeltPlan helps teams move from “searching and guessing” to “knowing and deciding.”
Today, MeltPlan offers two core products:
Melt Code
Melt Code is the first building code research AI built to make compliance transparent and decision-ready. Instead of giving a generic answer, Melt Code provides project-specific compliance requirements along with a step-by-step reasoning trail and direct citations to every relevant code section. It also maps out Compliance Paths, guiding architects and engineers through multiple valid routes to compliance based on project variables like occupancy, construction type, sprinkler conditions, height/area thresholds, and fire ratings. Melt Code understands exceptions, cross-references, tables, diagrams, and code math — and can generate project-specific compliance illustrations to make requirements easier to interpret and communicate. It also includes workflow tools like Projects and Checklists, helping firms capture institutional knowledge and standardize compliance across teams.
Melt Takeoff
Melt Takeoff is an AI-assisted takeoff service designed for contractors and estimators who need speed without sacrificing trust. It combines AI vision for fast quantity extraction with onshore, field-experienced senior estimators who verify outputs and add detailed allowances for scope not shown on drawings. Melt Takeoff detects hundreds of building elements, flags drawing/spec conflicts, structures takeoffs in MasterFormat®, UniFormat®, or custom standards, and delivers interactive outputs with sheet-linked traceability and clean Excel exports. It enables faster bids, fewer missed scope items, and more confident pricing.
Together, Melt Code and Melt Takeoff form the foundation of the MeltPlan platform — a connected planning engine that brings clarity, speed, and trust to preconstruction decision-making.

Tight Set
Tight Set is a project delivery platform built for architecture firms. It gives leaders and project teams a view of schedules, decisions, quality control, staffing, permits, fees, and emerging risks across every project. Instead of replacing existing design tools, Tight Set connects the information firms already manage so problems surface earlier, standards stay consistent, and teams can deliver with confidence.
RENDAIR AI
Rendair AI is an all-in-one AI platform designed specifically for architects, interior designers, and real estate professionals that transforms architectural concepts into high-quality visualizations through various AI tools, without requiring technical AI knowledge. Rendair combines multiple visualization capabilities into a single, intuitive platform that fits naturally into existing design workflows. The system handles everything from early concept sketches to final presentations, focusing on delivering professional-grade results with minimal setup. The platform emphasizes architectural accuracy, material realism, and visual consistency across all outputs, ensuring that the results meet client presentation standards and are suitable for commercial use. Essentially, an architect or designer with a hand-drawn concept sketch can upload it to Rendair, request a "modern living room with natural light and minimalist furniture," and quickly receive a photorealistic rendering ready for client presentation, all without needing specialized rendering skills or extensive hardware.
laiout
Floor planning reimagined: human creativity and AI. laiout is the world's only self-served, end-to-end platform for generating, iterating and sharing floor plans live, built to supercharge your work. Upload a floor plate and generate compliant layouts in seconds, complete with live capacity, cost and carbon metrics, then share with stakeholders in the format they use. Where other platforms handle one piece of the workflow, whether renders, drafting integrations or detailed architectural output, laiout covers the full journey from first floorplan to final sign-off. Landlords, tenants, brokers, designers and flex operators use it to test-fit faster and close deals sooner.
Compare Versions
Takes two versions of the same drawing set and tells you exactly what changed between them, sheet by sheet. It surfaces specific MEP, architectural, and civil change. Each finding is tagged with discipline, severity, and confidence, with a box drawn around the exact spot on the page so reviewers can click straight to it. This tool is especially valuable for multi-discipline coordination and prototype or chain projects where the same set iterates many times.
ArchiMind
ARCHIMIND is a native Autodesk Revit add-in that runs California Building Code (CBC 2025 & 2022) compliance checks directly inside Revit. It automates 182+ code checks across six chapters — including egress, accessibility, plumbing, height and area, fire resistance, and light and ventilation — and delivers results in under 60 seconds. Designed for architecture firms, ARCHIMIND eliminates manual code lookups, reduces permit rejection risk, and integrates seamlessly into the existing Revit workflow without switching tools or exporting files.
