Emerging Tools & AEC Workflow Automation - AEC-Tech Talk 23

From streamlining site feasibility studies to accelerating construction documentation, the latest AI tools in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) are transforming how teams work at every stage of the project lifecycle.

In this live panel discussion, we sat down with three innovative founders who are building next-gen platforms to enhance AEC workflows through artificial intelligence:

🟣 Al Dram – Co-founder & CEO of Blueprints AI
Blueprints AI generates code-compliant construction drawings in minutes, saving teams hundreds of hours and delivering documentation up to 20× faster.

🟣 Rohit Arora – CPO at dodda.ai
Dodda.ai uses AI to streamline building code research and permit compliance—helping architects and engineers catch issues early, reduce rework, and speed up approvals.

🟣 George Guida – Co-founder & CEO of xFigura
xFigura is a collaborative design platform—think “Figma for architecture”—that combines sketching, 3D modelling, and generative AI to support rapid ideation and real-time teamwork.

We discussed how these tools are leveraging AI to improve productivity, decision-making, and collaboration across the project lifecycle.

What You'll Learn:
How AI is accelerating site selection, zoning, and due diligence
Why generative AI is reshaping architectural ideation workflows
Ways AI streamlines design development and construction documentation
How collaborative tools are enabling real-time teamwork in architecture
Data privacy, integration, and customization insights from AEC tech leaders
