We don't replace the tools you purchased. We build what they're missing, using AI to do the work, and staying accountable for what ships.
Firms already run ERPs, project management tools, BIM platforms, but no standardized system fits every firm-specific workflow. The gaps get patched with spreadsheets and one-person workarounds that break the moment someone leaves or a new hire has to learn them.
Drawing revisions get tracked by filename ("v3_final_REVISED"), not by any real system.
Bar Bending Schedules and steel calculations are still built by hand in someone's personal Excel template.
Site progress and material tracking happen over WhatsApp and paper logs, not a system anyone can search.
No big platform to learn. We take one painful, high-frequency job off your plate, build software that does it in a fraction of the time, and stay accountable for the output. Three we've already shipped:
Beam detailing and bar-bending schedules, built by hand in Excel, eat 2-3 days on every floor - and one wrong bar means rework and a steel re-order on site. Kiso reads the CAD floor plan and lays out every beam's reinforcement automatically.
Every tender starts with a manual quantity takeoff off the drawings - slow, and a wrong number quietly eats your margin. Kiso pulls the quantities straight off the 3D model into a ready bill of quantities.
"Which drawing is the latest?" - then site pours from a stale print, and it gets broken and rebuilt. Kiso keeps every revision in one place with an instant diff, so the team always builds from the current drawing.
We learn your workflow inside out: the exceptions, the tribal knowledge, the spreadsheet logic nobody ever wrote down.
AI does the actual engineering and development work, building on top of the systems and workflows you already use instead of replacing them. That's how we move at a fraction of the time a dev team would take, and we pass that time straight back to you.
We embed AI into how your team works day to day, and stay accountable for what it does. The goal isn't to keep you dependent on us. It's that eventually, you won't need us.
Fifteen years building and integrating software across construction, structural engineering, and architecture: a 3D viewer embedded in a 3D-takeoff app, a DXF viewer built for a structural design firm, tools running inside real design & construction firms today.
Built for structural engineers, architects, and construction firms, including time working directly inside a general contractor.
Deep integration with the platforms this industry actually runs on, not a surface-level wrapper.
We've built AI-driven software repeatedly before this. Handing AI real engineering work isn't new territory.
Tools we've built are running in production at design & construction companies today, not sitting in a pitch deck.
We work across the building industry: architecture, engineering, and construction firms. Period.
Point us at the task your team dreads every week. We build the fix, and we stay accountable for what ships.
