Codesign is the first specialist iPad app for the most under-served part of the architecture process – the concept development stage.

Currently lead architects use pen and paper or fundamentally unsuited cumbersome programs to test, learn, explore and consider the possibilities for a project. Our new technology allows architects to quickly understand multitudes of vital downstream considerations, utilising the freedom and pace of sketching to expand, iterate and explore new ideas.

This results in more considered buildings and projects. And vitally, more time spent in the stage when ideas are open can lead to more interesting outcomes. It’s also the part of the process lead architects love the most and where they create the most impact.

By creating the first app for concept development, and being the brand championing the importance, value and results of more time concepting, we are creating a new category of concepting tools for architecture, enabling architects to spend more time doing what they love the most, and where they bring the most value.

Construction of the campus began in September 2019, and work was completed in late 2021. Public spaces have been raised to the fourth floor making the campus specific to conventional office buildings.
The building is shaped by stacking - vertical arranging of different functions on top of each other: a parking lot on the ground floor, three floors of office spaces, a public floor with a restaurant and a conference room, and three floors with accommodation units. 

An important feature of this project is the pioneering application of the VOLUM3 platform for the cooperation of all participants in design, construction and site supervision phases.  
Every day, 139 users joined the platform and by creating (and completing) more than 1700 individual tasks, they generated more than 200 meeting reports. More than 1200 drafts were made and their delivery, alongside complete documentation, was submitted through VOLUM3. 
Thanks to VOLUM3's modules, better overview of activities, faster and better decision-making process, the completion of tasks on time, and detailed reporting were provided. This increased the overall satisfaction of all project stakeholders and reduced the risk of failure.

Campus Infobip

VOLUM3 enables construction professionals to collaborate on projects from any Internet-connected device with access to all project documents, contracts, RFIs, submittals, schedules, drawings and more.

We tested VOLUM3 with large architecture companies - they were amazed by the fact it allows them to very quickly ramp up their project and start using it for their project team(s). Most of their subcontractors were also interested in seeing VOLUM3 in action, finding it extremely easy to use and learn.

Even if you are a small company VOLUM3 enables you to compete with much larger firms by showcasing the quality of produced work directly from within the VOLUM3 Collaboration Platform.

A new higher education facility is to be constructed in the Rocky Mountain Region, which will encompass a variety of spaces including learning, office, and lab areas. This new build on campus is set to push the boundaries of both the State and campus sustainability goals.

The project has established ambitious carbon targets focused towards minimising both operating and embodied carbon, reflecting a broad commitment to sustainable and low-carbon building practices.

The final decision to implement a mass timber system for the non-lab portions of the building stands as a defining moment for this project, marking a significant departure from conventional construction practices. The ability to precisely measure the environmental advantage over concrete was not just beneficial but essential. With Preoptima's advanced capability to calculate the carbon reduction potential of timber versus concrete, the evidence was clear and compelling, decisively guiding the choice for the final structural design. This strategic, data-driven decision underscores Preoptima's pivotal role in pioneering sustainable building practices.

When Lake-Flato had an opportunity to rethink its corporate headquarters in 2020, the Texas-based firm embodied its own sustainable values: Instead of building a new office, it repurposed its old one.​

The execution of this adaptive reuse project required powerful digital tools. The firm not only utilized these tools for 3D modeling and optimizing the design, but also leveraged them to prove and validate its positive design outcomes through third-party certifications. Along with prioritizing a material reuse strategy, Lake | Flato had to also think about the living conditions inside the building. ​

The firm leveraged Autodesk Forma and Revit, in tandem with advanced technologies such as AR and VR, to address these needs and transform the 100-year-old former office into a future-focused hybrid workplace that showcases environmental sustainability and creative, collaborative design.​

Architecture firm Lake | Flato’s adaptive reuse project embodies sustainability​

Located in rural North Yorkshire in England, the project was considered a large residential luxury development. It started with the demolition of a traditional 1970's home, followed by a custom design of new, energy efficient, contemporary home equipped with multiple garages, workshops and stables. All of these elements were designed to have the same consistent aesthetic. Its budget sat around £2 million, including land costs. The design and construction team consisted of five separate parties, including Struct-sure, so there many voices needed to heard during the design and construction process. Inside the main building there is a suspended mezzanine floor as well as a steel spiral staircase with glass balustrades.

What makes this project especially unique is the "three-sided glazing". The glass panels shown in the project photos are the largest available glazing panels for fabrication in Europe, and stand at 5.5 meters (18 feet) tall! These panels were the centerpiece of the design, but also caused some interesting design challenges.

Contractors setup and manage new projects by creating a poster with a project QR code with your company logo and check-in instructions. Employees, subcontractors, vendors and visitors will scan the QR code poster or use a personal QR badge and a tablet when entering or leaving. Daily log and project management updates are automatic.

Safe Site Check In is a web app accessed using any device without downloads or installs for paperless site management. Affordable monthly subscriptions are by jobsite for an unlimited number of users. Free trials and volume discounts available.

Experienced jobsite superintendents, project, safety, personnel and cost managers are hard to find and keep. SSCI’s paperless digital automation saves them hours a day and allows them to be builders, not bureaucrats or paper pushers:
1. Field operations -- Field operations managers all need to know who's on site, why, for what reason, for how long, and approved by whom. SSCI automates field operations data capture, distribution, archival and integration for a savings of at least 2.50USD per jobsite check-in.
2. Daily log creation and archival -- Paper records are terrible for operations and compliance. SSCI eliminates daily log data entry and makes compliance archival and retrieval automatic.
3. Worker onboarding, badging & initial training – The time spent by field managers to onboard workers adds to overhead and distracts from construction. SSCI makes onboarding employees, subcontractors and vendors mostly self-service. 
4. Worker profiles – Jobsite workers can be employees, subcontractors or vendors but field managers rarely know their employers, skills and legal employment status. SSCI makes worker profile data, images and documents available to field managers. 
5. Jobsite security – Security and safety plans require jobsite access controls that prevent unauthorized access. Theft losses are up, untrained workers are a safety risk, and publicly funded projects like schools often require background checks, and more and more states are requiring proof of all workers' legal employment status. SSCI enhances jobsite security control by alerting superintendents of check-in screening failures and/or the arrival of new or unauthorized workers.
6. Remote jobsite monitoring -- Not all jobs are big enough to need full-time onsite superintendents and safety managers, and managers can't be everywhere at once.  And superintendents can’t be onsite everyday anyways. SSCI makes remote & multi-site jobsite management possible by automating so many management tasks and making the data available in real-time with costly travel between sites.
7. Project management – Project management software needs timely jobsite workforce updates to assure schedules are on track. but superintendents are overburdened and dislike data entry tasks.  SSCI makes daily project plan updates mostly automatic and easy for superintendents and field engineers.
8. Subcontractor management – Jobsites are staffed by workers from multiple companies and all such workers need to comply with the project, safety and security plans. SSCI makes onboarding in the field easy and subcontractor compliance verifiable.
9. Safety screening -- Safety plans require training before building begins and frequent reminders as construction proceeds. OSHA expects evidence that training was delivered and safety plans enforced. SSCI makes jobsite safety requirements, reminders, change notices and visitor waivers an automated part of every check in. 
10. Safety training – Safety plans require training in the field and proof it was delivered. SSCI tracks who viewed safety videos and attended field training (aka “tool talks”).
11. Safety alerts – Safety plans require jobsite emergency communications if there’s an incident or accident. SSCI can notify everyone checked-in onsite what they need to do.
12. Safety reference documents – Safety plans require documents at every jobsite describing how to handle or treat hazardous substances. SSCI makes paperless Safety Data Sheets available to everyone on all jobsites.
13. Wage and invoice validation -- Wage and invoice overcharges or false claims can add up if timesheet data cannot be validated and only relies on a superintendent’s memory. Having a second source of data helps with prevailing wage cases too. SSCI makes hourly pay validation possible by providing a comparison to timecard data which is often not entered everyday at the end of the shift. SSCI also captures subcontractor or vendor attendance making t&m invoice processing easier.
14. Safety and incident claims – Safety and risk management plans require workers to notify management immediately after any incident, and management needs good contemporaneous data to defend against claims. SSCI makes both possible by requiring workers to “check-out without incident” and recording all their screening questions and answers.


Safe Site Check In

The Cadalyst piece delves deep into the nuances of conceptual design automation, underscoring how forward-thinking architecture firms like TVS are collaborating with software developers to integrate automation into the conceptual design phase. This integration not only reduces the hours spent on mundane and repetitive tasks, but also empowers designers to channel their energy into more creative “high impact” moments. Adoption of software like Skema presents a win for both firms and clients, allowing for more rapid prototyping of different layouts and configurations, and faster iterations in a project’s early stages.

A standout mention in the article is TVS’s collaboration with Skema, an innovative software developed by Atlanta-based Blue Ocean Sustainability. Skema isn’t just another design tool; it’s transformative. By harnessing data from past projects, Skema offers a dynamic platform to accelerate the conceptual design phase, and is on the cusp of some major updates (we’d share them, but we’re sworn to secrecy!). With industry veteran and Revit pioneer Marty Rozmanith as CTO, Skema is set to redefine how architects and interior designers approach design, doing so in a way that seamlessly integrates into existing workflows. By providing a conceptual design environment coupled with a BIM automation engine, Skema enables the generation of editable BIM data that can be easily used downstream in the design process – in other words, it fits into the way we already work.

Plan reviews require experts to manually identify and measure elements of a building, including the length of walls, the width of doors, and the area of rooms. After these measurements are recorded, the expert then assigns each room an occupancy classification  and other characteristics that are found in various codes. These tasks are time consuming and can lead to inaccuracies early in the review process.

CodeComply is a mission-driven product that harnesses artificial intelligence for plan review and cut through the red tape of this process in minutes, not months. Typically, multiple plan reviewers need to manually review each floor plan to ensure that they meet building codes and standards. But CodeComply uses AI to extract all of the data and identify objects like stairways, corridors, and walls. Once the data is extracted, it is analyzed through algorithms to determine building fundamentals, like how many people are expected to be in each room and how far do they need to travel to an exit. These fundamentals are then cross-referenced to various codes and standards and presented in a simple pass or fail format, ensuring that every aspect of the design meets regulations automatically. 


CodeComply.Ai

Togal.AI has revolutionized pre-construction technology by developing the industry's most advanced solution, designed to automatically detect, measure, compare, and label project spaces and features on architectural drawings. By leveraging the power of AI and deep machine learning, Togal.AI saves you time and money by streamlining the estimation process and catching potential issues before they become costly problems. With collaboration feature, sharing takeoffs with other plan holders has never been easier. TogalCHAT allows you to search across thousands of project documents and populate a response in seconds. With Togal.AI, you can trust that your pre-construction process is in good hands.
