We build AI that amplifies your team — not replaces it.

AI Research & Development

In AEC, every decision carries a professional signature. That's why we design solutions where AI handles the repetitive work and humans keep the judgment: the architect stays the architect, the BIM Manager stays the BIM Manager. The difference is they now have an invisible team working alongside them.

This only works when whoever builds the AI actually understands how an architecture firm operates. We combine applied AI engineering with over a decade of executing BIM for firms across multiple international markets. We don't design demos. We design tools your team uses the following Monday.

We take your ideas from concept to production: Revit automations, agents that organize data from your models, predictive models for coordination, integrations with ACC and BIM 360. Built for the real context of your firm — with your people always in the lead.

What we do
  • AI strategy and integration into existing BIM workflows
  • Scaling prototypes into production-ready systems
  • Automations, agents, and plugins for your BIM ecosystem
  • ML, LLMs, RAG, and search systems applied to AEC data
01

Structural BIM

Foundations, columns, beams, slabs. Modeled to your standards, to the LOD your project needs. Compatible with Revit Structure, Tekla, and the way your engineers actually work.

What we ship
  • Foundations and structural framing to LOD 350
  • Rebar modeling and detailing (LOD 400 when needed)
  • Quantity takeoffs and schedules
  • Coordination with arch and MEP
What we won't do
  • Structural calculations (your engineers design — we model what they design)
  • Stamped drawings without a licensed engineer in the loop
02

MEP Coordination

Mechanical, electrical, plumbing — modeled and coordinated in your federated model. We work in your ACC or BIM 360, your folder structure, your naming conventions. No "our way."

What we ship
  • HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire protection
  • Federated model setup and clash cycles
  • Coordinated drawings and equipment schedules
  • ISO 19650-aligned information delivery
What we won't do
  • MEP engineering (we don't size systems)
  • Energy modeling or load calculations
03

Architectural Modeling

We model what you designed. Not a generic interpretation. Walls, openings, finishes, parametric families — done to the standard your firm actually uses, not the standard a textbook says.

What we ship
  • Walls, partitions, finishes, openings
  • Family creation and parametric content
  • Sheet sets and detail documentation
  • Visualization-ready model prep
What we won't do
  • Design (you design, we execute)
  • Rendering and visualization (we hand off model-ready)
04

AI Rendering

Photoreal renders straight from your BIM model, accelerated with AI. Concept-stage moodboards, client presentations, marketing visuals — produced in hours, not weeks, with the look your firm actually approves.

What we ship
  • AI-assisted photoreal stills from Revit / Rhino models
  • Concept moodboards and style explorations
  • Interior, exterior, and aerial views
  • Iteration cycles with art-directed feedback
What we won't do
  • Animations and full cinematic walkthroughs
  • Brand identity or graphic design work
05

Clash Detection & QA/QC

We find conflicts in the model so you don't find them on the jobsite. Federated audits against your BIM Execution Plan. Honest reports — including the ones that say we missed something.

What we ship
  • Federated model setup and management
  • Clash detection cycles and prioritization
  • QA/QC against your BIM Execution Plan
  • Issue tracking and resolution workflows
What we won't do
  • Manage clash resolution (we report — your PM directs)
06

Construction Documentation

We support every phase of documentation — from Schematic Design and Design Development through Construction Documents and Permit Sets. Production-ready sheets, schedules, and details, compliant with your firm's CAD/BIM standards.

What we ship
  • Plans, sections, elevations, details
  • Schedules, legends, key plans
  • Standard-compliant title blocks
  • Permit, bid, and CD sets
What we won't do
  • Specifications writing (text specs are not BIM scope)
  • Permit submission
How we work

Three ways to bring us in.

Most firms start one way and shift as they get comfortable. We don't lock you into anything you don't need.

Most chosen

A team that's yours

Two to eight BIM professionals working only on your projects. Reports to your PM. Uses your tools. Same people, month over month. They have weekends, vacation days, and reasonable hours — which is why they're still here years later.

Best when: Your pipeline doesn't stop, and your team can't keep growing fast enough.

  • 2-8 dedicated professionals
  • Same team, every project
  • Your tools, your standards
  • Weekly reporting, monthly retros
Starts at 1,200 hours/month
Let's talk

A project we deliver

You give us a scope, a deadline, and a budget. We ship it. Fixed price, fixed timeline, fixed promise. No midnight pushes to hit your date — we plan timelines that account for actual humans doing the work.

Best when: You have one project that needs to land on time, on budget, on quality.

  • Fixed scope and price
  • Defined milestones
  • One point of contact
  • Final QA and handoff included
Minimum 4-week project
Let's talk

Help when you need it

Burst capacity when your team is underwater. Activates in 5 business days. Scales down when the crunch ends. Month-to-month. We don't oversell capacity we can't sustainably staff.

Best when: Your workload has predictable peaks, and hiring full-time doesn't make sense.

  • 5-day activation
  • Month-to-month
  • Same standards as dedicated teams
  • Pause and resume freely
Minimum 200 hours/month

Building this year

A platform that shows you everything.

Today, honesty lives in your ACC and weekly reports. By late 2026, it lives in one place — a Roots dashboard that shows hours, model health, and what's shipping, in real time. We're building it now.

Specialties

Two more things we're known for.

Beyond core BIM execution, two specialty practices firms come to us for.

Training

BIM Training & Upskilling

Cohort-based training for in-house teams. Revit, Navisworks, ACC, ISO 19650, and AI-assisted workflows — taught by the same people who execute production work for our clients. Custom curricula built around your firm's standards.

  • Onboarding programs for new BIM hires
  • Senior upskilling on coordination and ISO 19650
  • AI-for-AEC workshops (audits, clash, documentation)
  • Custom curricula tied to your BIM standards
ADUs

ADU Design & Documentation

End-to-end Accessory Dwelling Units — from feasibility and concept through permit-ready CDs. We model, document, and coordinate; we partner with your licensed architect or engineer for stamps. AI-rendered concepts in days, not weeks.

  • Feasibility, zoning checks, and concept options
  • Schematic design with AI-rendered visuals
  • Construction documents ready for permit
  • Coordination with structural and MEP partners
