Changing architecture with AI
Market study
Architecture as a profession is well know for its long work hours and less pay. Because as an industry in general is the least optimised industry just above agriculture and hunting in 2020. This results into more work load and less output. Hence the productivity rate is negative 1.4,which leads to increase in pay gaps compared to other industries.
Problem
Architects try to integrate and learn new tools in their design practices. Yet there is no integrated platform that exists to help these professionals find, use and adapt these new tools emerging everyday as per their specific needs. So, they spend a lot of time looking for appropriate sources, spend huge amounts of money to subscribe software which they don’t even need.
On an average architects spend 20% of their time looking for new ways of doing things as per their requirements which costs as much as a 100 euros a month. Companies spend 15 to 20k a year just for their software subscriptions. Also they spend significant portion of their revenue which is 17% of their total revenue for renders, BIM modelists and other consultants as they don’t know how to do those tasks efficiently.
