Problem
Architecture and engineering firms waste significant time and resources due to fragmented file storage, manual searches, and outdated tools for retrieving and organizing design data, leading to rework, inefficiency, and liability risks that can cost up to $3 million annually per firm.
Solution
ARKI provides an AI‑powered system of record that transforms a firm’s historic 2D and 3D design assets into a searchable, reusable knowledge base. A semantic visual‑search engine indexes drawings, details, and BIM models, enabling instant retrieval of relevant assets across projects. Automated categorization, deduplication, and versioning keep data organized and prevent clutter, while AI‑driven snapshots capture design evolution for easy comparison. The platform syncs data in real time across teams and integrates with tools such as Revit, allowing architects and engineers to assemble custom collections, add notes, and share assets securely. By leveraging past design data, ARKI accelerates new project work up to 50 % and reduces redundant effort.
Target Audience
Primary customers are architecture, engineering, and construction firms of all sizes that need to organize, search, and reuse design data, including architects, BIM managers, and design engineers.
Features
- Semantic AI search that finds 2D drawings, 3D models, and design details across the entire firm’s archive
- Automatic categorization, deduplication, and versioning of assets to maintain a clean, up‑to‑date library
- Snapshots that record design changes and enable side‑by‑side comparison of detail revisions
- Real‑time synchronization with team members and integration via a Revit plugin and web dashboard
- Custom collection creation with notes and granular access controls for firm‑wide or project‑specific sharing
- AI‑driven asset reuse recommendations that surface relevant details for new designs
