Haseko Corporation has adopted "Tektome Storage," an advanced AI-driven architectural design platform developed by Tektome Inc., as an integrated database solution for its proprietary Building Information Modeling (BIM) system. By using Japanese language prompts, the "Haseko AI System" leverages Tektome’s sophisticated capabilities to transform previously unstructured architectural design information into a structured, easily accessible data environment.

This collaboration will significantly enhance efficiency in Haseko’s design workflows in three phases:

- First Phase (2024): This phase involves constructing the integrated Haseko-version BIM database, enabling designers to access accumulated data and search for similar cases, making the design process more streamlined and informed.

- Second Phase: In this phase, quality checks will be enhanced using design specification data, ensuring legal compliance, conformity to design standards, and performing clearance and interference checks between components. This will improve the accuracy and integrity of every design.

- Third Phase: The final phase will introduce automated design functions based on language instructions. These functions will cover layout planning, including the number of stories and units, as well as automate unit area and design elements.

Through these phases, "Tektome" will shift manual tasks to AI-driven processes, improving productivity by reducing the time required for data input and design verification. These innovations are expected to cut manual task time by 50%, allowing Haseko's team to focus more on creative, high-level design tasks, setting new industry standards for quality, speed, and efficiency.

Haseko's BIM x Tektome

Tektome Storage is an AI-powered data management platform tailored for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry.

Tobishima Corporation

Civil engineering and building construction firm

Tobishima Corporation had to reorganize management resources to deal with rising IT costs due to BIM implementation. After evaluating various CAD products, considering cost, operability, installations by other companies in the same industry, and potential, Tobishima switched from its existing 2D CAD to a different, but highly compatible solution: ARES CAD software.

Taisei Corporation

TAISEI Corporation is one of the “Big 5” construction groups in Japan, with 8,572 employees as of March 2021. Technical drawings are required on construction sites, and a company as big as TAISEI uses more than most. Such drawings are created at the office by the design teams, and keep evolving during the project. Construction workers depend on a constant flow of drawings because they need to keep up with frequent design updates. In addition, they need a way to share feedback from the field with the design teams — which is ideally done within the drawings themselves. Centralizing files in the cloud enables users to circulate drawing updates in real time. But in TAISEI’s case, the challenge is also to deploy a Mobile CAD solution to the thousands of iPads used in the field, without compromising on productivity and security.
