Skema.AI

"The AEC industry talks a big game about AI, but too many tools are stuck in the past - focused on tracking history rather than shaping the future. If we want AI to deliver on its promise, we need to stop asking architects and engineers to become data scientists first." - Richard Harpham In a recent blog, Richard put together this thoughts on AI in the AEC industry - from where the industry currently is to where he thinks it should go to provide the most value for architects and firms.

Skema isn't the only solution available for BIM workflows, but it's the only tool that is designed to support a native-data tool chain, instead of using object types and mapping to try to translate between systems. Our CTO and co-founder Martin (Marty) Rozmanith recently wrote down his thoughts on the power of tool chains in the AEC industry, and how Skema might be the "Swiss Army Knife" the industry needs: https://lnkd.in/gAvTDmZb #GenerativeDesign #AEC #DesignAutomation

The BuiltWorlds Building Tech Top 50 list just dropped for 2025 and we're proud to be recognized as a top Generative Design/Rapid Prototyping Solution! 🎉 And to think 2025 is only just beginning! We are looking forward to sharing what's to come for Skema throughout the year, and how we will continue to help architecture firms achieve faster timelines and higher-quality results. 🚀 See the full Building Tech Top 50 list: https://lnkd.in/gWMNhkju

Skema's AI works with you, not against you, accelerating your workflows without compromising your creative control. Here's how: - Your IP is Yours: Skema's Knowledge Graph methodology shields your designs from AI, ensuring your intellectual property stays confidential. - Human-in-the-Loop Design: From feasibility studies to detailed designs and BIM deliverables, you're in the driver's seat. - Accelerated Prototyping: Adapt your Design Catalog units to fit new layouts, stretch and adjust elements, and explore options without starting from scratch - all while preserving standards and rules. Skema's AI is here to handle the repetitive work so you can express your creativity. #SkemaAI #AEC #GenerativeDesign

The interop strategy for Skema.AI? Be a Swiss Army knife. I presented this at Design Futures Council in January - and now here's a blog post I invite you to read (link in comments). As opposed to #platforms that require data wrangling via platform data models (instead of files), we believe in a more flexible approach called #toolchains using peer-to-peer web service connections. It's how the movie and gaming industries get things done - we can learn a lot from them. Stjepan Mikulić Allister Lewis Martyn Day Dave Gilmore

Tool chains are finally achieving a breakthrough in the AEC industry. Skema is the Swiss Army knife architects have been missing - finally solving the data integrity challenges that plague project workflows. In this thought-provoking blog, CTO Martin (Marty) Rozmanith explores how AEC can learn from the movie and gaming industries, where tool chains enable seamless collaboration without data loss. Skema brings that same level of innovation to design by supporting a native-data tool chain - no object mapping, no data translation, and no compromise on BIM quality. https://lnkd.in/gAvTDmZb

Q: What are the primary benefits that clients typically experience when implementing Skema into their workflow? A: 🏆 Win work with less effort: Skema helps architects easily and quickly create multiple high-quality design options to share with a client, reducing the time, effort, and risk that architects currently undertake while pursuing new project work. 🚀 Exceed client expectations: By automating the repetitive parts of a programmatic design - roughly 50% - the designer can focus on the remaining 50% for signature spaces such as lobbies and experiential elements of the building. 🔒 Maintain design control: Skema's BIM Knowledge Reuse Engine unlocks a firm's IP stored in previous BIM projects, turning selected, repeatable design elements and firm standards into high-fidelity design catalogs that the firm, and only that firm, can apply to new projects. ♻️ Get more value from your successful designs: Skema lets designers quickly arrange, adapt, and morph their firm's fully vetted design elements to fit new concepts. Addressing and solving for detail design during schematic design frees up a significant portion of the fee budget. 👨💻 Produce more informed options: A designer can create multiple design options using Skema's puzzle piece approach and/or Skema's integrated metrics to reach a desired aesthetic and functional design proposal. ⏱️ Get BIM in minutes not months: When the designer is ready to move forward from Schematic design, Skema almost instantly generates high-quality BIM LOD350 models, accelerating the creation of BIM delivers by as much as 6-8 weeks. #GenerativeDesign #AEC #BIM

Tedious workflows. Wasted hours. Redoing assemblies that you've done before... Sound familiar? In an article written by Niknaz Aftahi of aec+tech, she dove straight into how Skema is flipping the script for designers and architects. In the article, she tackles some of the biggest questions about Skema. We put together a few of the highlights showing how Skema is reshaping design for architects: https://lnkd.in/gjKqG2HS #Architects #GenerativeDesign #DesignAutomation

Architectural design is at a turning point. By combining Skema's content-driven approach with script-driven computational workflows, design teams can achieve faster timelines, higher-quality results, and more inclusive collaboration.
