Tech overview

We develop and apply digital tools to design smarter, more sustainable buildings and cities. Digital twins & data integration: We build digital twins for buildings and infrastructure, integrating BIM, GIS, sensor data, and analytics. Computational design: Using tools like Rhino, Grasshopper, and custom scripts, we automate and optimise complex geometry and systems. Open-source frameworks: Our BHoM platform enables cross-discipline data exchange and automation. Sustainability tools: We build software to measure embodied carbon, energy use, and performance — linked directly to design models. Enterprise systems: We integrate cloud/on-prem ERP and project tools (Unit4, Deltek) to streamline operations. Cloud & data workflows: We run hybrid infrastructures, data pipelines, and use ML to speed up design decisions. We value interoperability, open standards, and combining deep engineering expertise with innovative software.
