Problem
Traditional building design workflows often involve disconnected tools and data silos, hindering real-time collaboration and data-driven decision-making. This can lead to inefficient design iterations, communication breakdowns, and difficulty in ensuring projects meet budgetary and regulatory requirements.
Solution
Arcol is a browser-based collaborative 3D building design platform that integrates real-time metrics and site context to streamline the design process. The platform enables teams to co-design in real time without the need for file syncing, facilitating efficient design iterations and better communication. Arcol allows users to import site data, create design options, and track key performance indicators (KPIs) against project requirements. The platform also offers tools for creating presentations and exporting designs to other project tools, providing a seamless workflow from initial concept to project completion.
Target Audience
Arcol is designed for architects, designers, developers, general contractors, and owners involved in building design and construction projects.
