Problem
The traditional building design process is often slow, inefficient, and unsustainable, requiring months to produce build-ready designs. Integrating design for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA) principles is challenging, leading to increased project timelines, higher costs, and greater waste.
Solution
Podium is a cloud-based platform that streamlines the building design process by integrating design for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA) principles. The platform enables users to create build-ready designs in minutes, rather than months, by utilizing a computational engine that incorporates manufacturing constraints and cost analysis. Podium's open object model data schema ensures that every design decision drives value, while data-driven insights guide users to sustainable design and construction methods. By connecting developers, designers, and suppliers on a single platform, Podium fosters collaboration and boosts productivity, leading to less waste, lower carbon emissions, and increased sustainability.
Target Audience
Podium is designed for developers seeking to maximize development potential, designers aiming to automate coordinated multidisciplinary design, and suppliers looking to showcase DfMA-ready products.
