Harnessing AI for AECO

In AECO, AI is not a speed problem. It is a responsibility problem.

Every calculation is signed, every design draws the future of a project, every detail drives production.

The bar is not whether AI can generate an answer, it is whether that answer can be trusted, audited, and signed off on a real project. That is the bar Graitec is building to.

The shift happening in AECO

The shift is real: AECO workflows are moving from manual commands toward AI-assisted decisions. The firms winning the next decade will be the ones that harness that shift, without sacrificing the standards, traceability, and professional responsibility the industry requires.
Graitec is building the infrastructure to make that possible.

Harnessing AI, not just adding it

Anyone can plug a chatbot into a piece of software. Making AI reliable enough to carry real project responsibility is the hard part. That is what harnessing means: shaping AI capabilities around the way AECO professionals actually work. tied to your data, aligned with your standards, governed by your decisions. 

40 years of domain expertise, unlocked by AI. Graitec is not building new AI models. It is taking the engineering intelligence already embedded in its software, structural codes, fabrication logic, calculation engines, and making it accessible, actionable, and scalable across every role on the project. 

Grounded  

AI operates within structural codes, fabrication norms, and company-specific rules, not around them. 

Deterministic  

Proven calculation and detailing engines carry the math. AI supports preparation, interaction, and interpretation. The results stay auditable. 

Accountable  

Engineers, fabricators, and contractors retain full control of critical decisions and sign-off. AI accelerates the work. Humans own the outcome.

Three horizons. All in motion today.

Not a vision for the future. A structured delivery across three stages of AI maturity, developed and shipped in parallel, on their own timelines. 

  • Horizon 1 - AI that assists
  • Horizon 2 - AI that automates
  • Horizon 3 - AI that generates designs and optimizes

AI that assists

Make every user instantly effective

STATUS: IN MARKET

Stop searching, start delivering. The Graitec Assistant harnesses 40+ years of AECO intelligence and brings it directly into the tools your teams already use, at the right moment, for every role on the project. From structural engineers and BIM managers to detailers and fabricators, expert guidance is one question away.

 

OUTCOMES

  • Ramp up projects faster, reduce dependency on scarce expertise
  • Increase day-to-day productivity across every role

AI that automates

Eliminate non-value work across your projects

STATUS: IN MARKET

Repetitive tasks, coordination workflows, and data flows between design, fabrication, and site,  harnessed and handled by AI. Less manual effort, fewer handover errors, better consistency across the project chain. Your teams focus on the decisions only humans can make.

OUTCOMES

  • Drastically reduce manual effort and errors
  • Improve cross-team collaboration and data consistency
  • Reallocate time to higher-value decisions

AI that generates designs and holistically optimizes

From design intent to optimized solutions in minutes 

STATUS: IN BUILD

From early concept to code-compliant, fabrication-ready output, generated in minutes, not days. Graitec harnesses AI to explore, evaluate, and optimize design options at a pace that was previously impossible, while engineers, architects, and fabricators remain fully accountable for every decision.

OUTCOMES

  • Explore more design options in less time
  • Accelerate delivery from concept to fabrication
  • Improve performance, compliance, and cost-efficiency

What this looks like in your world

The approach is the same across AECO. What it delivers depends on the work you do. 

ARCHITECTURE

Design intent, captured and reused.

Senior staff hold your firm’s BIM knowledge in their heads, and it walks out the door between projects. With the Graitec Assistant, anyone can interrogate a Revit model in plain language, surface the filters, rules, and structure already in use, and apply them to keep work consistent and compliant. Knowledge owned by the firm, not the individual.

ENGINEERING

Hours of modeling, done in seconds.

Encode your firm’s engineering rules as reusable skills, and the Graitec Assistant builds complete, analysis-ready structural models from a handful of inputs, with no manual element creation. It pulls loads, dimensions, and properties straight from your PDFs and spec sheets, and runs deterministic code checks and section lookups on demand. The engineer reviews and signs.

FABRICATION

Setup that took days, now takes minutes.

Drop in a wall schedule or spec file and ask the Graitec Assistant to generate your panel templates. It maps stud spacing, track sizes, and opening configurations into consistent, ready-to-use templates, cutting out manual setup, reducing errors, and speeding up project kickoff.

Harness the Graitec Assistant for your own workflows

The Graitec Assistant isn’t a fixed feature set. It’s an extensible platform. Power users and partners can build their own skills: reusable AI capabilities that execute specific engineering tasks like model checks, repetitive commands, data extraction, and code generation. Build them yourself, or work with our team to build them for you.

DO IT YOURSELF

Build skills your way

Your power users can create custom skills on top of the Graitec AI platform, without waiting for a product release. Rapid prototyping through AI-assisted coding makes it possible to turn a workflow into an automation in days, not quarters.

  • Custom workflows created by your team
  • “Vibe coding” with AI-assisted development
  • Skills shared across projects and offices

DONE WITH YOU

Professional services to accelerate

Don’t want to start from scratch? Our experts work alongside your team to identify the highest-value workflows, build the skills, and train your power users to take it from there. From AI-readiness assessments to ready-to-use skill packages.

  • AI-BIM readiness assessment
  • Custom skills built for your workflows
  • Training so your team can build the next ones

No horizon ships without customer hands on it.

Every capability Graitec delivers is shaped by professionals using our software on live projects. The Graitec Lab is our new co-development program – customers co-develop each horizon with us, test in real conditions, and feed directly into what ships at scale. 

0 1 · E N G A G E

Live project testing, not demos. 

Selected customers test new AI capabilities on live project work. We learn from real friction.

0 2 · I T E R AT E

Customer feedback drives decisions.

Usage data and customer feedback feed directly into product decisions. What ships at scale is what worked in the field.

0 3 · S C A L E

From pilot to production.

When a horizon proves itself with Lab customers, we package it, price it, and roll it out to the wider market.
