In the dynamic realm of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), innovation is at the heart of creating sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective building solutions. Augmenta, an AEC software, is emerging as a game-changer in this space by automating sustainable building design. With the potential to significantly reduce time, cost, waste, and uncertainty in construction projects, Augmenta is making waves in the industry.
Founded by a team of ex-Autodesk experts who pioneered Generative Design, Augmenta leverages advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to automate the design of building services. At its core, Augmenta is on a mission to make building design smarter, more sustainable, and highly efficient.
Augmenta’s flagship product, the Augmenta Construction Platform (ACP), is a testament to this vision. ACP is meticulously crafted to ensure that buildings are not just aesthetically pleasing but are designed with energy efficiency, sustainable materials, safety during construction, and reduced waste to landfill in mind.
At the heart of ACP’s capabilities is its powerful integration of AI, including machine learning and mathematical optimization. Once commercially available, this cloud-based platform is poised to revolutionize the AEC industry, allowing contractors and engineers to generate error-free, constructible, and code-compliant building designs in a matter of hours rather than weeks.
This innovative software introduces a new era of design processes that empowers the construction industry to plan and construct sustainable housing, cities, and infrastructure at an unprecedented scale. It automatically produces comprehensive, coordinated, and sustainable building service designs that align with the multifaceted needs of various stakeholders.
The first module of the Augmenta Construction Platform, known as Electrical System Design, has been crafted to cater to services engineers. This module equips engineering teams with the ability to estimate and design fully detailed, code-compliant, and constructible electrical raceway systems in a fraction of the time previously required.
The benefits of adopting Augmenta are manifold. Engineers and design professionals can now create fully constructible designs in hours, significantly accelerating the design process. This rapid iteration and automation reduce double entry and manual rework, ultimately cutting down design time by up to 70%.
Augmenta seamlessly integrates with industry-standard CAD workflows, transforming design and coordination for a broad spectrum of AEC stakeholders, including engineers, subcontractors, general contractors, and developers.
With Augmenta Electrical, a groundbreaking feature, the software essentially acts as your design partner. By specifying your project’s requirements, Augmenta generates tailored solutions, allowing you to prioritize your client’s unique needs and find the best design solution for their project.
“The Electrical Design Module for our Augmenta Construction Platform is the first of several solutions we are developing to automate building design,” said Francesco Iorio, CEO and co-founder of Augmenta. “We’re tackling the toughest design challenges in the construction industry, and plan to also provide solutions for plumbing, mechanical, and structural engineers and contractors. Our ultimate goal is to deliver an integrated solution that eliminates the time consuming and error prone processes of designing systems, and sharing and coordinating those designs across trades.”
Augmenta is poised to revolutionize the AEC industry by automating and streamlining the design of sustainable, energy-efficient, and cost-effective building services. By empowering professionals to create efficient and sustainable designs in record time, Augmenta is at the forefront of a new era in architecture, engineering, and construction. As this innovative platform continues to evolve and expand its capabilities, it promises to be a cornerstone in the journey towards a more sustainable and efficient built environment.
