Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

AEC organizations are drowning in technical drawings, specifications, contracts, safety rules, and project correspondence that are hard to search, slow to interpret, and error-prone when handled manually. Generative AI centralizes this knowledge, makes it searchable in natural language, and automates repetitive tasks like drafting documents, checking compliance, and summarizing project information.

Value Drivers

Reduced design and documentation timeLower rework and error rates through better information accessFaster project planning and bid preparationImproved compliance and risk management via automated checksReduced reliance on scarce expert time for routine Q&ABetter knowledge retention across projects and teams

Strategic Moat

Tight integration into existing AEC workflows (BIM, project management, document control) combined with access to firm-specific drawings, specs, and historical project data can create a proprietary knowledge base and strong switching costs.
