Notes on AI + AEC, BIM systems, automation workflows, and the operational thinking behind computational design.
Revit 2027 ships with an AI assistant built on MCP. It can query models, create schedules, and tag elements. But it does not know your firm's standards. We built a system that does.
Company standards lived in printed manuals, then internal websites with dozens of pages. Every software rename broke them. This system replaces all of it with a single structured file that feeds AI videos, Notebook LM, and Claude Skills.
Drawing QC used to follow a clear rubric. We built a system-based approach using AI vision and Autodesk Construction Cloud to make it trackable, repeatable, and measurable.
Why AI in AEC is not push-button, and how layered systems turn operational friction into structured knowledge.
A reusable workflow pattern that assembles a clean BIM Execution Plan from structured inputs and distributes it automatically by email.
How I am building a structured AI workflow to review large volumes of project documentation for sustainability consistency — without losing governance or traceability.
A build-in-public series on creating a lightweight BIM operations portal — the architecture, the friction, and the patterns that work.
