The "Blind Spot" Problem

Scattered site data from Revit blueprints to daily field RFIs leaves architects chasing updates across fragmented emails and paper punch lists

Unseen material shortages in rebar or precast concrete derail critical path timelines, forcing rushed orders that inflate costs on multi-phase commercial builds

Compliance oversights in IBC zoning codes and OSHA safety specs trigger costly rework and regulatory fines mid-project on structural steel frames

Budget leaks from untracked subcontractor performance in welding or assembly line integrations hit ROI hard, especially on large-scale fabrication plants

Delayed stakeholder decisions due to siloed progress visuals in BIM models slow down approvals for MEP design changes

Overlooked sustainability metrics like embodied carbon in steel sourcing risk missing LEED v4 certifications and client expectations on net-zero builds

Ensure Compliance Without the Headache

Ensure Compliance Without the Headache: Dashboards highlight regulatory KPIs, from ADA standards to LEED points, reducing audit risks—like flagging fall protection gaps or zoning variances. Architects using our system avoided $100K in fines on a hospital expansion by proactively tracking permit statuses and safety metrics across distributed teams over a 12-month build.

What Clients Say

"We were buried in Excel sheets for tracking our 40-story high-rise project's A36 steel deliveries—delays from mill lead times were killing our critical path. After AIQ Labs set up the dashboard, we saw exactly where shipments lagged in the supply chain, cutting our timeline slips from weeks to just 48 hours. It's like having a second set of eyes on the site, but smarter with predictive alerts."

Elena Vasquez

Senior Project Architect, BuildRight Constructors Inc.

"Integrating KPIs for our 150,000 sq ft factory redesign was a nightmare with disjointed ERP and BIM software. Their custom setup now pulls data from our Autodesk models and vendor EDI feeds seamlessly, letting us monitor CNC machining throughput in real-time. We shaved 18% off our budget last quarter on the automation line install—no exaggeration, it paid for itself in the first three months."

Marcus Hale

Operations Director, Forge Manufacturing Solutions

"As an architect on net-zero commercial builds, compliance tracking for HERS ratings was hit-or-miss with manual logs. This platform flags energy efficiency metrics like insulation R-values in real-time, helping us secure LEED Gold certification on a 100,000 sq ft school project two months ahead of schedule. The team's actually excited to check dashboards now—huge win for morale and hitting ESG goals."

Common Questions

How does this integrate with my existing CAD and project management software?

We start by mapping your tools—think AutoCAD for designs, Procore for field management, or even ERP like SAP for manufacturing tie-ins. Our custom APIs create two-way syncs, pulling in blueprint updates and site logs without manual uploads. For instance, changes in a structural model automatically refresh timeline KPIs. It's built to fit your workflow, not force a switch. We've done this for firms with legacy systems, ensuring zero downtime during integration. The result? A dashboard that feels like an extension of your daily tools, saving hours on data chasing each week.

Can these dashboards handle large-scale projects with multiple sites?

Absolutely, our enterprise-grade architecture is designed for it. Picture a multi-site factory expansion: we consolidate data from distributed sensors and teams into one view, scaling effortlessly as sites grow. No limits on users or data volume— we've powered dashboards for projects spanning 50+ acres without slowdowns. It uses modular frameworks, so adding a new phase or subcontractor is plug-and-play. Clients in manufacturing tell us it transformed oversight, cutting cross-site coordination time by 35%. You're not capped like with off-the-shelf apps; we build to match your expansion pace.

What KPIs are most useful for architects in construction?

We tailor to your needs, but core ones include timeline adherence (e.g., percentage of phases on schedule), cost variance against bids, material utilization rates, and compliance scores for codes like IBC or local zoning. For manufacturing angles, we track fabrication efficiency and quality defect rates. It's practical: one architect used our setup to monitor punch list completion, reducing final walkthroughs from 20 to 8 days. We avoid fluff—focusing on ROI drivers like spotting a 12% overrun in HVAC installs early. During discovery, we pinpoint yours based on past project pain points.

How secure is the data in these custom dashboards?

Security is non-negotiable, especially with sensitive blueprints and financials. We use end-to-end encryption, role-based access (e.g., field techs see only progress, not full budgets), and comply with standards like GDPR and construction-specific regs. Data stays in your owned system—no cloud rentals risking breaches. We've audited integrations for firms handling government contracts, ensuring audit trails for every access. Think of it as locking down a job site: only authorized entry, with logs to trace any activity. Clients appreciate the peace of mind, especially on bids involving proprietary designs.

What's the timeline to get a KPI dashboard up and running?

Typically 4-6 weeks for a full custom build, depending on complexity. Week 1 is discovery—reviewing your tools and KPIs. Weeks 2-3: development and integration, testing with sample data from a current project. Week 4: refinement and training, launching with your team. For urgent needs, we can prototype core features in 2 weeks. A recent client, redesigning a plant, went live in 5 weeks and immediately saw value in tracking weld quality metrics. It's efficient because we focus on high-impact areas first, iterating as you go—no endless waits.

Do you provide training for my team on using the dashboard?

Yes, hands-on training is included to make adoption seamless. We do interactive sessions—virtual or on-site—covering navigation, interpreting KPIs like delay forecasts, and customizing views for roles like junior drafters or senior partners. It's practical, with examples from your projects, so it's not generic. Post-launch, we offer a 30-day support window for tweaks. One architecture firm said their team was proficient in a week, turning what could be a learning curve into a quick win for daily decisions. We get it: busy schedules mean training has to be straightforward and relevant.
