The "Data Fog" Problem
Scattered RFIs, as-built drawings, and subcontractor bids buried in email inboxes and shared drives
Delayed critical path updates on concrete pours or steel erections leading to surprise schedule overruns
Manual cost tracking across steel suppliers and concrete vendors causing blind spots in material budgets
Siloed communications between GCs and subs hiding OSHA compliance risks on high-rise builds
Unpredictable HVAC or electrical subcontractor bids inflating estimates for commercial retrofits
Missed change orders from fragmented client feedback on MEP drawings and site modifications
Our Custom-Built Dashboards Cut Through the Noise
We've helped over 50 architecture firms replace chaotic spreadsheets with unified systems that deliver field-tested ROI from day one
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, as an architect, you're juggling site plans, client revisions, and tight deadlines. Here's the thing: generic tools don't fit your workflow. We build custom dashboards tailored to your projects—pulling in data from Procore, AutoCAD, and your accounting software into one seamless view. No more flying blind on timelines or costs. You're probably thinking, 'How does this actually work for my firm?' We start by mapping your exact processes, like tracking steel deliveries or monitoring MEP installations, then engineer real-time KPIs that alert you to variances instantly. It's like having a digital foreman watching every angle of your build.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Game-Changing Visibility for Your Projects
Real-Time Project Tracking
Real-Time Project Tracking: See every phase of your build unfold live, from foundation footings to roof truss installation. Catch a delay in rebar delivery early, adjust crane schedules, and keep clients happy with on-time deliveries. Firms using our dashboards report 25% faster project completions on average for mid-sized commercial jobs, turning potential losses into solid wins.
Precise Cost Forecasting
Precise Cost Forecasting: No more surprises from fluctuating steel prices or overtime labor shifts on site. Our dashboards crunch your bid data against real spend from ERP integrations, flagging overruns before they balloon—within days of invoice entry. One architect saved $150K on a mid-rise office project by spotting hidden markup variances in supplier quotes early in the framing stage.
Actionable Team Insights
Actionable Team Insights: Empower your crews with dashboards that highlight bottlenecks, like slow drywall installs or welding delays in fabrication. Reduce miscommunications that plague 40% of construction delays per AGC reports, leading to smoother handoffs between trades and fewer rework costs—up to 15% savings on labor for assembly line retrofits.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's dashboard, we were chasing emails for site updates on our hospital expansion—lost two weeks to a missed rebar delivery that threw off the concrete schedule. Now, everything's in one view with automated alerts, and we've cut change order disputes by half in just three months on our latest wing addition."
Sarah Jenkins
Senior Project Architect, BuildRight Constructors Inc.
"Our firm handles multi-site manufacturing retrofits for automotive parts, and tracking costs across steel and tooling vendors was a nightmare. Their custom setup integrates our ERP with project bids—spotted a 12% overage on HVAC components last quarter during a plant upgrade and renegotiated on the spot. Total game-changer for keeping margins tight."
Mike Rivera
Operations Project Lead, ForgeFab Manufacturing Solutions
"You're probably thinking dashboards are just charts, but AIQ built ours to flag permit delays automatically during our warehouse design phase—caught a zoning issue on structural steel specs before submission. Saved us from a $40K fine and kept the timeline intact for our 100K sq ft expansion—finally, tech that understands the chaos of industrial architecture."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do your custom dashboards integrate with my existing architecture software?
We make integration seamless and robust, pulling data directly from tools like AutoCAD, Revit, or Procore without brittle APIs. For instance, on a recent firm project, we synced blueprint revisions with cost data from QuickBooks in real time. This creates a unified view—no more manual exports. Our approach uses secure, two-way connections that handle the high-volume data flows typical in construction, ensuring updates reflect instantly on site or in the office. You'll see everything from structural changes to budget impacts in one dashboard, reducing errors by up to 40%. We handle the tech so you focus on design.
What makes these dashboards different for architects versus general construction teams?
Architects deal with intricate design iterations and client aesthetics that general tools overlook. Our dashboards emphasize visual metrics like 3D model progress or spatial compliance, tailored to your workflow. Take a mid-sized firm we worked with: they needed to track facade material variances across elevations. We built custom views showing render-to-reality gaps, which cut revision cycles by 30%. Unlike off-the-shelf options, we avoid generic charts—everything's custom-coded to highlight architecture-specific KPIs, like daylighting simulations or zoning adherence, giving you precise control over the creative and technical sides.
How long does it take to build and launch a custom dashboard for my firm?
Typically 4-6 weeks from kickoff to live deployment, depending on your data complexity. We start with a quick audit of your current setup—say, mapping bids from Excel to site logs in Fieldwire. Then, we prototype in 1-2 weeks, build the core in another 2, and test with your team on a pilot project. One architecture group went live in under a month for their office tower redesign, spotting a $20K steel overrun early. It's field-tested to minimize disruption, with phased rollouts so you gain value incrementally without halting your pipeline.
Can these dashboards help with regulatory compliance in manufacturing projects?
Absolutely, we embed compliance tracking right into the dashboard for manufacturing retrofits or builds. For example, we can automate checklists for OSHA standards or material certifications, flagging issues like non-compliant welds in real time. A client in industrial design used ours to monitor EPA regs on a factory expansion—prevented delays by alerting to documentation gaps weeks ahead. It's not just alerts; we integrate approval workflows, ensuring your team stays audit-ready. This ROI-driven setup has helped firms avoid fines averaging $50K per violation, keeping projects on track and budgets intact.
What kind of ROI can architects expect from your custom dashboards?
Expect measurable gains like 20-35% reductions in project overruns through early variance detection. Here's the thing: in construction, hidden costs from delays eat 10-15% of budgets. Our dashboards provide actionable insights, such as forecasting labor needs based on past site data, which one firm used to optimize crews on a school build and save $80K. We track ROI from launch, showing metrics like time saved on reporting (up to 15 hours/week per PM). It's practical and field-tested— no fluff, just tools that align with your bottom line, often paying for themselves in the first project.
Do you offer ongoing support after the dashboard is built?
Yes, we provide tailored support to keep things running smoothly. Post-launch, you get a dedicated engineer for the first 90 days, handling tweaks like adding new supplier feeds. For a manufacturing architect we partnered with, this meant quick updates to track custom alloy pricing fluctuations without downtime. Beyond that, optional maintenance ensures scalability as your firm grows—think annual audits to incorporate new regs or tools. Our goal is ownership: you control the system, but we're here to refine it, preventing the integration nightmares that plague 70% of custom builds.
