The Submittal Lifecycle Skill: Building One End-to-End AI Workflow In the final episode of our submittal series, we combine three AI-assisted workflows—intake, review, and resubmittal tracking—into one complete Submittal Lifecycle Skill for architecture firms.See how test cases uncovered an intake sequencing bug and a missing-document guardrail, why human approval gates remain essential, and how firms…

https://getarchit.com/the-ai-enabled-submittal-process-part-3/ Submittal review does not end when an architect returns a package marked “revise and resubmit.” Someone still has to track the open item, receive the next revision, compare it with the original submission, confirm whether every comment was addressed, update the project record, and prepare the response to the contractor. That final stretch is…

https://getarchit.com/the-ai-enabled-submittal-process-part-2/ Submittal review is not difficult because of one isolated comparison.

Properly deployed, AI can reduce administrative work, help teams find information faster, improve consistency, and give architects more time to focus on clients and design. But as firms move beyond basic chat tools…

https://getarchit.com/why-organized-data-is-the-foundation-for-ai-success/ AI tools are only as effective as the data behind them. In this episode of Design Under Influence, we explore why organizing your files and workflows is the critical first step toward successful AI adoption.

The AI Adoption Blueprint for AEC Firms: Policies, Guardrails, and Real Use Cases AI is already transforming architecture, engineering, and design firms — whether leadership realizes it or not. In this episode, we break down a practical framework for secure AI adoption in AEC organizations, including AI policies, data classification, cybersecurity concerns, AI agents, and…

https://getarchit.com/ai-in-aec-stop-chasing-tools/ Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of daily operations in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC). New tools appear constantly, promising to automate BIM workflows, improve project coordination, or generate proposals faster. For many small and mid-sized firms, this creates pressure to adopt everything quickly in order to avoid falling behind. But focusing only on…

What Have You Done for Me Lately? In architecture and engineering, partnerships with technology and BIM consultants are essential—but they are also frequently questioned. Budgets are reviewed, invoices are scrutinized, and a familiar executive question surfaces: “What have you done for me lately?” The answer cannot rely solely on activity, reports, or technical effort. To…
