Podium

PODIUM.io is a cloud-based AI powered design automation platform. We enable developers, designers, and contractors to generate feasibility studies beyond massing for residential, mixed use, industrial, and data center projects within minutes. The platform automatically creates spatial architectural layouts, then generates coordinated structural and MEPF schematic models with accurate elemental level data, ready to plug into existing modelling and cost workflows.

Podium Overview

Podium is a cloud based SaaS platform that automates design and feasibility studies for the built environment. We help developers, architects, and contractors turn raw site data into schematic design level feasibility studies in minutes instead of weeks.

Traditional feasibility workflows are slow, manual, and inconsistent. Every project restarts the same drafting, code checking, and costing exercise from scratch, often across disconnected spreadsheets and consultants. Podium replaces this with a structured, data driven design process that combines design automation, engineering logic, cost intelligence, supplier matching, and AI assisted workflows in one platform. Teams get compliant, buildable design options fast, with detailed area, structure, equipment, and quantity breakdowns for accurate costing from day one.

Podium supports data center, residential, industrial, and mixed use developments. Our product led approach uses configurable templates and code compliant logic, so the Podium Engine generates distinct, compliant designs in minutes. This means less time on manual drafting and more time comparing viable options, testing scenarios, and making confident go or no go decisions earlier in the development cycle.

For data center developers, Podium accelerates site feasibility and capacity planning. For residential and mixed use projects, it speeds up unit mix optimization and zoning compliance checks. For industrial developments, it streamlines layout and structural feasibility. Across all typologies, teams get clear, comparable design and cost outputs that align stakeholders and reduce rework downstream.

The result is faster site acquisition decisions, fewer wasted design cycles, and more accurate early stage budgets, without adding headcount. Podium doesn't replace design teams, it removes the repetitive groundwork so they can focus on judgment calls that actually need expertise.

Founded in Singapore with offices in Sydney and Silicon Valley, Podium brings together architects, engineers, software developers, and product specialists with one goal: better technology for property development. We help the AEC industry design faster, price more accurately, and deliver with greater certainty.

It generates optimized building layouts based on site conditions, unit mix, density targets, and design requirements. Users can quickly compare alternatives, evaluate development potential, and refine plans through customizable tools. By accelerating early-stage analysis and design, ArkDesign.AI supports faster, data-informed decisions while maintaining greater control over project outcomes.

ARCHITEChTURES

ARCHITEChTURES is a cloud-based, AI-powered generative design platform built for residential building projects. It helps architects and developers generate and optimize floor plans and massing options in minutes instead of months. No installation is required — it runs entirely in the browser and exports designs to DXF, IFC and XLSX.

TestFit

TestFit is an AI-powered site planning and real estate feasibility software that helps architects, developers, and contractors generate rapid layout studies, parking plans, and early-stage design options. With parametric tools, real-time iteration, and integrations with platforms like Revit, SketchUp, and AutoCAD, TestFit helps teams move faster through feasibility workflows before detailed design begins. Teams comparing TestFit AI software, pricing, free trial options, and alternatives often evaluate it for faster planning, yield studies, and pre-design decision-making.
