@richardzhangsfu, our VP of AI and R&D, writes about why AI for construction has to understand function, not just appearance. What looks right in a model and what is constructible are two very different things. Learn more about it on our blog: hubs.li/Q04hkdt90

Winning @ecmmagazine (EC&M)’s 2026 Product of the Year in the Software & App category is an honor. It reflects the people who built this: a GTM team with 200+ years of MEP and BIM experience, shaped by the field and by contractors doing the work every day. hubs.ly/Q04h2Zw60

Our CEO @FrancescoIorio_ joined Steven Rossi-Zalmons on the Construction Revolution Podcast to discuss BIM bottlenecks, spatial AI, and how VDC teams are getting time back with automated routing and coordination. hubs.li/Q04h0VHl0

Our VP of AI and R&D, @richardzhangsfu, is presenting today at the BC AI Research-to-Adoption Summit in Vancouver. His talk, “Functional Intelligence for the Physical World,” covers how purpose-built AI systems are translating into real-world impact. hubs.li/Q04fS_Ft0

Our founder & CEO @FrancescoIorio_ joined @Josh_Dorfman on the Supercool podcast to discuss why coordination happens too late in construction and what changes when constructability is integrated into the design process from the start. Listen here: hubs.li/Q04fHjTD0

Our VP of AI & R&D, @richardzhangsfu, just presented at 3DV and CDFAM. His view: the gap in construction AI isn’t compute or model size. It’s spatial and functional intelligence, the ability to reason in 3D, and generating designs that actually work. hubs.li/Q04dhC_z0

Grateful to see @ecmmagazine cover our partnership with @ejelectric. As Thomas Kregel, EVP of E-J Electric, put it: “Augmenta stood out for both its ability to support complex electrical projects and the team's deep construction expertise.” hubs.ly/Q04dgkpm0

EC&M (@ecmmagazine) named Augmenta “Product of the Year” in the Software & App category. Chosen by an independent panel of industry professionals, it’s an honor to be recognized by those closest to the work. Explore the full list: hubs.li/Q04cY3y00

E-J Electric (@ejelectric) has partnered with Augmenta. For 127 years, E-J has built some of the country’s most complex electrical infrastructure. We’re proud to be working with one of the most respected firms in the trade. Read the full announcement: hubs.li/Q04cTvY70

Thanks to @ecmmagazine for a great conversation on AI in the electrical industry. Loved hearing from our CPO @AaronSzymanski alongside Dustin Schaefer, Aaron Henderson (Henderson Engineers), and Joel Yow (@CannonDesign). hubs.li/Q04c9V-_0

A recent @McKinsey report; construction productivity rose 0.4% YoY while prices rose 52%. Our CEO @FrancescoIorio_: LLMs can speed up documentation, but they can’t route components in 3D while meeting code, clearance, & constructability requirements. hubs.li/Q04b3TY10

Excited to share @richardzhangsfu, our VP of AI & R&D, is presenting at CDFAM Barcelona (Apr 8–9). Ahead of the conference, Richard sat down with CDFAM organizer Duann Scott for an in-depth interview on the future of construction automation. More: hubs.li/Q049YfPh0

$25.2B in data center starts in January 2026 alone. 92% of construction firms can't find qualified workers. The BIM talent shortage is quietly stalling billions in projects. The future of VDC needs better technology, not just more headcount.

@ecmmagazine Editor-in-Chief, Ellen Parson, brought together voices across the industry, including our own @AaronSzymanski, Dustin Schafer & Aaron Henderson of Henderson Engineers, and Joel Yow of @CannonDesign, to discuss where AI stands today for ECs. hubs.li/Q04883440

Let's say a 10-person electrical BIM team on 50 projects a year does roughly ~50,000 hours of modeling work. If you saved 50% of that time on 80% of your projects, you'd be looking at $1.2M in recaptured labor value. What would your VDC team do with those hours back?

Power is only part of the data center challenge. Design capacity, coordination complexity, and a shrinking VDC talent pool add to the pressure that electrical contractors are experiencing daily. @FrancescoIorio_ wrote about in @ENR_Magazine this week. hubs.li/Q046C6z90

@AECmagazine’s new cover story dives into the “agentic future of BIM”. One takeaway: firms relying on manual workflows and PDF-driven processes should start thinking seriously about their AI strategy. We are honored to be part of the story. Read here: hubs.li/Q0469VLS0

Still modeling conduit manually in Revit, and racing to prep for coordination meetings? Augmenta CPO @AaronSzymanski joins @stjepanmikulic to show how AI-driven routing reduces modeling time and accelerates coordination for electrical contractors. Watch: hubs.li/Q044T_P70

@aarnih nailed it — especially slide 4. The gap between what’s modeled vs what’s built is where time & money disappear. That's the problem we set out to solve. Constructability, fabrication logic, and coordination built into the design from the start. hubs.li/Q043092F0

Thanks to @aarnih for featuring our work in AEC Business. He breaks down how VDC teams are using AI to automate conduit routing and coordination, and why it matters when ECs are already stretched thin. Link here: hubs.li/Q042L6tx0
