What's up at Struck? Check out our Press Release: Antler announces pre-seed investment in Struck to introduce AI to master the maze of building regulations The Architecture Engineering and Construction (AEC) Industry demands disruptive technologies to overcome current challenges. AI is destined to play a pivotal role, especially in the regulatory field. Antler, the world’s most active early-stage VC firm, has today announced that it is investing €100K into Benelux-based start-up Struck. Struck allows Architects, Developers, and General Contractors to master the maze of building regulations and therefore save time, cut costs, and build with confidence.    Check out the entire press release https://lnkd.in/dfP8Vs8m and find out more about Struck’s co-founders Max van Riel and Nikhil Nagaraj. A special thanks to Ronald Jan Schuurs and Job Wever for the help in the last months. https://lnkd.in/ddpxfY8z #AI #AEC #Architecture #Buildingregulations

Neighbourlytics recently joined forces with Neuron alongside leading experts in MEP, Structures, Civil, sustainability, and more to tackle a massive project aimed at reimagining precinct designs. During an intensive two-week sprint, our data was used to provide the vital lifestyle context, informing the masterplan design. This collaboration demonstrated the potential of integrating diverse tools and expertise for more informed decision-making. This innovative approach to research and collaboration paired the best tools and data, setting a new standard in urban development. Watch the video to see the innovation in action from the Innovation Night, where we showcased a new approach to precinct design using a real project as a case study. A big thanks to our collaborators: Rob Asher of Giraffe Technology, Tim Franzen of Lateral Consulting, Dara McGrenaghan of MCG Consult, Kevin Peddie of RWDI, Ed Mitchell of Forum Studio and the broader Neuron team.

📣 Yesterday inCitu founder Dana Chermesh-Reshef presented at a special event by VRAR Chicago on #SpatialComputing in architecture and construction. Today we're taking a closer look at Chicago. Is the Windy City set to harness the power of spatial computing? Leveraging #OpenData could be the key to putting city planning information at residents fingertips in 3D! 📈 In the last decade, City of Chicago's population grew by 400,000 residents. Last year the city issued 1296 permits for new construction. Recently, Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order to streamline the approval processes for residential and commercial construction to enhance economic activity and boost affordable housing growth. 🌐 Using inCitu’s pipeline with Chicago's Open Data Portal, we were able to extract spatial data from Chicago’s accessible permitting records. We found 28 future developments that had enough public permitting data for 3D model creation, meaning these projects are instantly ready to view with smartphones in their real-world locations, true to scale! These projects are available to view now through our Chicago web map: https://lnkd.in/eXNxQkn2 There were also hundreds more permits that could be ready to view in augmented reality with just a few more attributes such as building height or number of stories. These are just a few details that could allow the city to analyze permits data in 3D across the city, and help the public better understand changes coming to their area. ▶ Are you a public servant, developer, or someone involved in civic innovation in Chicago interested in employing inCitu for dynamic engagement that connects with the community directly? Get in touch to book a demo or to discuss activating a project near you: 📩[email protected] 🔔 This post is part of inCitu’s #ARreadycities series, highlighting 10 U.S. Cities best positioned to democratize their city planning data in augmented reality. #chicago #architecture #urbanplanning #civicengagement #spatialcomputing #augmentedreality

"We have adopted the Buildots system which helps us save both time and money. Buildots gives us an objective overview to all parties at any given time; the subcontractor, the main contractor, and the client."”- Martin Nõulik, Site Manager In collaboration with Nordecon AS, one of Estonia’s leading construction companies, we're proud to have completed our pilot project at a new luxury 38,000 sqm residential complex in Tallinn. This joint milestone marks a pivotal moment as we integrate Buildots' advanced AI technology into their construction process for the first time. 🌟 Nordecon's Key Achievements: - Performance Enhancement: By leveraging Buildots' AI-driven insights, during the pilot, Nordecon's team was able to experiment and find a clear direction to become more efficient by preemptively addressing issues, thus streamlining their construction process, and reducing costs. - Improved Collaboration: With more than 150 subcontractors on site each day, Nordecon used Buildots to improve their subcontractor relationships, minimizing disputes and fostering a cooperative environment. - Predictive Risk Mitigation: Our technology enabled Nordecon to anticipate and manage potential delays effectively.   We're not just excited about what we've achieved; we're inspired by what's to come. Together with Risto Vahenurm, Priit Luman, Tarmo Pohlak, Martin Nõulik, Diana Käbi and the wider Nordecon team, we're setting new standards in construction, paving the way for smarter, faster, and more efficient construction. 🚀 #Construction #ConstructionManagement #AI

🌟 What is the largest #contech exit in the EU? I'm looking for some examples... I know two 🌟 Spacemaker : This Norwegian startup, specializing in AI-powered urban design, was acquired by Autodesk for $240 million. Spacemaker's technology helps architects and urban planners optimize building sites by analyzing various data points to create efficient and sustainable designs. Note: Spacemaker is in Europe but not in the EU Enscape: Enscape, known for its real-time rendering and virtual reality software for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries, merged with Chaos, a leader in photorealistic rendering technology. Backed by TA Associates and LEA Partners, this merger has created a global leader in 3D visualization and design workflow technology, combining the strengths of both companies to offer unparalleled solutions in the AEC sector. Moritz Luck do you want to add something 😊     Does any of you have more data on successful European #construction tech exits?  Patric Hellermann Vivin Hegde Guillaume Bazouin Adam Zobler Matt Wheelis Alice Leung    #ConstructionTech #Innovation #Technology #Acquisitions #AEC #DigitalTransformation #EU #europe

Mixing it up at AWE'24 in Long Beach! The Geopogo team has been spreading the word about the unique and immediate power of GeopogoCities, digital twins, and Geopogo building models, and catching up on all the best in 3D viz tech. We have been thrilled to also unveil our new one-click AI-powered tool to dig into the site-specific zoning info for any and all properties in a given city. We have started with two of our hometowns-- Berkeley, California and Windsor, Ontario-- moving quickly into cities on the scale of LA, with 2.1 million properties, to be available next week! It takes a quick minute to assemble and crunch a gazillion points of data from multiple sources... Shout out to our AI team, including our Master of Analytics geniuses from University of California, Berkeley, for their collaboration on this innovation. Watch for more news to come about this groundbreaking tool! Thanks to everyone who has stopped by to enjoy our demos and chat! If you haven't stopped by yet, today is the final day to hang out with us at Booth S69. The best of AWE'24 is yet to come-- looking forward to following up with all of our new friends and making amazing things happen together! Check out recent posts for more news about Geopogo and GeopogoCities. The future looks better in context! #AWE #Geopogo #3Dvisualization #aectech #AR #digitaltwins #architecture #construction #realestate #smartcities #cityplanning #cities
