Howie is an AI tool designed to assist architects and engineers by automating tasks, optimizing designs, and enhancing workflow efficiency. It acts as a digital copilot, leveraging AI to streamline professional processes.

Offsite construction (OSC) platform powered by calculation and design automation Prefabrication and modular construction allow us to reduce time, cost and waste in construction projects. To unlock the full potential of prefabrication, Modulize will enable simplified information extraction from complex 3D building models. With its component extractor, contractors can process models to automatically turn relevant parts of the model into tenders to be shared with manufacturers. In addition, we are developing generative design and optimisation algorithms that will enable designers and manufacturers to seamlessly collaborate to maximise the use and benefit of prefabrication and modular design. In particular, Modulize will enable design-manufacturer fit by linking manufacturers and customers based on manufacturing capacity and capability, as well as compliance with local rules and regulations. Prefabrication and modular construction allow us to reduce time, cost and waste in construction projects. Our solution, Modulize, will unlock prefab adoption through 1) automated component extraction from 3D models and 2) generative design and optimisation algorithms that let designers, contractors and manufacturers maximise the use and benefit of prefabrication.
