Walls, doors, windows, beams and poles are reconstructed as IFC-compatible parametric parallelepipedes, which can be corrected by hand.
Founded by two Palantir elders and supported by a16z, the start-up wants to replace AutoCAD and Revit with a model that includes structure, materials and technical networks.
Based on the energy diagnostics alone, a CatBoost model estimates the savings of each work with their uncertainty and shows that the order of construction sites counts.
A former manufacturer of inspection equipment, Mach9 promises to produce the centimetre-level readings needed by civil engineering design offices ten times faster.
To replace CFD simulations that are too slow during the sketching phase, two researchers are comparing two ways of teaching a U-Net the geometry of a part.
The Santa Monica-based start-up produces architectural, structural, MEP and fire safety plans, but points out that a qualified architect or engineer must approve everything.
A unique neural encoder converts surface area, year and type of heating into physical thermal parameters. The result: consistent annual trajectories with ten times fewer parameters than competing models.
In PE-Loop, the language model suggests revisions and features a deterministic calculation engine. Relying on an LLM for this assessment results in 58 per cent of non-compliant buildings being overlooked.
A scene programme may run correctly whilst producing an impossible layout. VIGOR checks for collisions, clearances and structural relationships after execution.
Eleven architect-client pairs worked together to design a house by generating renderings in real time: this led to a better mutual understanding and more active clients, but also resulted in stylistic bias and unexpected twists.
The AI tool generates initial office layouts in line with regulatory and capacity constraints. JLL Design reports that production time has been halved on average.
Out of 27 students divided into seven teams, the GenARch tool does not improve the marks awarded by the examiners, but it does change the way the groups design and coordinate their work.
The Restyle feature, currently in beta in the US and Canada, allows you to change the furniture, paint colours and lighting in a photo of a real interior before making a purchase.
Automatic exploration of multi-unit housing layouts, room completion in Revit, conversion of site manager’s verbal reports into structured logs.
The start-up applies visualisation models to working drawings to detect errors, omissions and coordination conflicts before work begins.
A five-year agreement and a $25.3 million funding round: Digs’ tools are set to cover cost estimates, plans and post-occupancy maintenance for 140,000 builders.
A review published in *Nature Cities* outlines the urban applications of generative models and emphasises the importance of context-based validation and the continued role of human judgement.
Denver, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Seattle and Louisville are trialling tools for the automated verification of planning applications, with measurable time savings whilst retaining human oversight.
Two researchers from Northeastern have reviewed more than a hundred studies in *Nature*: AI predicts floods and simplifies public documents, but inherits the biases in its data.
The South Korean company STARCHIUM claims a 28-fold increase in productivity on a real-world public sector project, by producing vector files that can be edited directly in CAD rather than images.
