AI Architecta working version in 8 weeks
An internal studio tool: the lead architect provides a sketch and requirements, then receives a checked scheme and structured data for local work in Revit.
The studio’s main constraint is team throughput
Sketches, explanations, regulations, budget limits and dozens of revisions pass through junior architects before returning to you for another review.
The first version keeps you in control while reducing the repeatable work between a decision and its verification.
First the tool improves the studio’s productivity; then it becomes a standalone product
The lead architect remains the author and makes the decisions. Repeatable operations gradually move into one working system.
Design
A sketch and brief become a scheme, area schedule, agreed revisions and a structure file for Revit.
Review
The set of regulations, internal standards, sources and reproducible checks expands over time.
Client intake
The website questions the client, collects source information and prepares the design brief.
SaaS for studios
A process proven internally becomes a service that can be sold to other architects.
The first iteration removes one specific workload from private-house design
Initial candidate: a private house, taking the lead architect’s sketch through schematic planning and checks to structured data for a local Revit plugin.
You take a project yourself from brief to Revit-ready structure
The architect receives a measurable structure that can be reviewed and changed.
The brief is captured without omissions
Requirements are stored as fields; missing inputs are shown separately.
Scheme + structure file
The file is exported manually; the installed plugin reads it and creates the agreed elements in the local Revit template.
Checks with a clear reason
Every rule shows its calculation, source and variance.
Revisions without rebuilding
Room area, position or relationships change within the current project version.
What you open after one pass
An illustrative private-house scenario. The exact output is agreed on the studio’s own projects in week one.
A sketch and design brief
- 30 × 40 m site
- Two floors, approximately 450 m²
- Room schedule and target areas
- Local Revit with the plugin installed
Working materials
- Schematic plan in PDF
- Room and area schedule
- Log of agreed checks
- Structure file for manual import
- After import to Revit: levels, walls, rooms, doors and windows
- Brief and revision history
The first investment buys a complete working loop
$15K includes
- One agreed project type and one workflow
- Internal web interface and storage of a lightweight project structure
- Sketch, written brief and structured parameters
- Schematic 2D geometry and area schedule
- 8–12 formalised rules and a check log
- Several pre-agreed revision types in dialogue
- Manual export of the structure from the website and a local Revit plugin that reads it
- One template and an agreed set of generated elements
Outside this iteration
- Complete construction or permit documentation
- A complete library of Georgian building regulations
- Structural calculations and engineering disciplines
- Storage of complete .rvt projects or one-click opening
- Autonomous design without an architect
- Reliable recognition of any free-form sketch
- Full BIM exchange, families of any complexity and model coordination
- Public SaaS, billing and sales automation
Large Revit files stay on the studio’s computers
Lightweight project structure
Floors, rooms, walls, areas, relationships, rules and versions. A complete .rvt file is not stored online.
structure / versions / checksManual export
The architect downloads the structure file and selects it in the installed plugin.
website → structure fileLocal Revit plugin
The plugin is installed separately, reads the structure and creates agreed elements in the local template.
file → levels / walls / roomsVersion one includes only rules with a deterministic answer
Every rule shows its source, version and result
The system does not provide a legal guarantee of compliance. The studio first defines each rule precisely; it is then implemented and tested against known examples.
Every two weeks you receive a part you can open and verify
Define one workflow
- 3–5 real projects
- exact inputs and outputs
- site and building structure
- 8–12 rules
Build the working core
- web project
- brief and parameters
- lightweight building structure
- visualisation and areas
Add revisions and the Revit plugin
- change commands
- formal checks
- structure-file export
- local import to Revit
Test in practice
- remaining projects
- edge cases
- fixes and stability
- deployment and handover
Acceptance is based on 3–5 studio projects
3–5 projects complete the full workflow
We test with anonymised real materials from the studio.
The result is structured
Rooms, walls, relationships and areas are available to the system as data.
Revisions apply to the current version
Agreed changes are made to the project and checked again.
Every check is reproducible
The same input produces the same calculation, rule source and clear variance.
You can work without a developer
Create a project, export its structure and import it manually with the installed Revit plugin.
The next step’s return is measurable
We measure time to result, manual revision volume and reasons for failed runs.
Your involvement is needed where lead-architect judgement matters
You and the studio define the professional standard
- You make the key decisions on project type and output quality
- Provide 3–5 completed projects: inputs, intermediate materials and final result
- Define what counts as a good or unacceptable solution
- Provide the Revit version, template and workstation for plugin installation
- Join a 60–90 minute weekly review
Our team turns that standard into a tool
- Define boundaries and acceptance criteria
- Build the web interface and lightweight structure storage
- Build the digital building model and geometric calculations
- Implement the export format and local Revit plugin
- Deploy, document and hand over the working version
A complete working loop costs $15,000
The budget is kept within range by focusing on one project type and using the already validated Revit workflow. Hosting, paid models, Autodesk and other third-party licences are paid separately at cost.
The next iteration is chosen from actual time savings
At the end of week eight you have three figures: time to result, volume of manual revisions and the share of projects completed successfully.
Deeper architectural design
More revision types, options, floors, stairs and spatial constraints.
Deeper BIM
More categories and families, data exchange back to the website, sheets, schedules and coordination.
Client intake
Website dialogue, lead qualification, source-data collection and brief preparation.
Commercial SaaS
Users, roles, data isolation, billing, audit and an interface for other studios.
In eight weeks the studio gains another working tool
You remain the project author and decision-maker. The website creates the structure; after manual export, the locally installed plugin transfers it into Revit.
