Problem
The construction industry faces challenges related to unpredictability, low earnings, and unsustainable levels of waste and energy use. Errors in design and coordination lead to significant rework, waste, and increased costs, with up to 30% of new building materials wasted due to mis-ordering and rework.
Solution
Augmenta provides a cloud-based construction platform powered by generative AI to automate building design, focusing on electrical systems. The platform enables users to generate fully detailed, coordinated, and sustainable designs that are code-compliant and constructible. By automating the design of electrical raceway systems, Augmenta reduces the time, cost, waste, and uncertainty associated with construction projects. The platform integrates with Autodesk Revit, allowing users to export designs for easy editing and detailing.
Target Audience
Augmenta targets electrical engineers, VDC managers, and general contractors seeking to reduce risk and uncertainty with coordinated electrical designs.
