For Architects

For architects we offer a variety of optimization services which save you and your team direct design time while guaranteeing best design practices. Early contact with strong consideration to design principles allows the quick preliminary optimization of a building. This allows the architect to hold a strong concept of building components while optimizing to their design considerations.  We will work with you to optimize your project to the exact outcome requirements you seek from an early stage. 

Examples

There are millions of exterior wall assemblies available in the market and when considering a new assembly it is often difficult to know which one fits your needs best. Multi-criteria optimization is a process that allows all wall assemblies to be evaluated equally under an unbiased source.  Considerations such as costs, energy efficiency, construction time, mechanical spaces, and durability are easily taken into account. 

Preliminary Component Design

Components are designed to basic schematic outlines which allows accurate reporting of numeric values for costs and various metric performance indicators. 
We currently have basic integration into SketchUp and are working on advanced integration into Revit for full BIM compatibility.
