  • Skema.ai: Reimagining BIM with Reusable Intelligence
    Send us a textWelcome to another edition of the AI AEC Show! In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Marty Rozmanith, Co-founder and CTO of Skema.ai. Marty is an authority on AEC tech; he was instrumental in the development of Revit and now leads the charge at Skema, the company behind what they call the world’s first BIM Knowledge Reuse Engine.Our conversation delves deeply into Marty’s roots in the industry, the inception of Skema, and how artificial intelligence is being applied in practical, creative, and measurable ways. Here are some of the most compelling insights from our talk.Marty’s career began hands-on, starting as a carpenter before transitioning into architectural engineering, architecture, and ultimately software development. His early experiences convinced him of the need to integrate better design and construction data, a vision that continues to drive his work today.Skema was born from real-world frustrations. When Marty and his team attempted to apply modular construction tools to a complex mixed-use project, existing platforms proved inadequate. That experience led them to collaborate with a talented tech team and reimagine the solution: a platform that turns past BIM projects into flexible, reusable “3D puzzle pieces” that architects can easily adapt for new projects.At its core, Skema speeds up schematic design by 6–8 weeks. It ingests BIM models, extracts meaningful design intelligence, and enables architects to quickly assemble and morph designs to meet new briefs; all while producing high-quality native Revit data. AI plays a crucial role by automating catalog generation and refining project data, ensuring speed without compromising accuracy.Crucially, Marty emphasized that AI in architecture should act as an assistant, not a replacement. Skema helps free designers from tedious rework, allowing them to focus on creativity and value creation. Additionally, design catalogs built within Skema become strategic assets for firms, enhancing both project delivery and knowledge retention.Looking ahead, Skema is building a flexible ecosystem that enables seamless integration of tools like SketchUp, Rhino, and Revit within a data-driven workflow. They are also exploring integrations with automated MEP design solutions to further push toward pre-coordinated, prefab-ready models.If you’re curious about how AI can speed up and enrich architectural design workflows, Skema.ai is worth a closer look.

  • AI Strategies for Smarter Proposal Writing in AEC
    Send us a textIn this episode of the AI AEC Show, Aarni Heiskanen sits down with Steve Karp, Chief Innovation Officer at Unanet, a leading provider of ERP and CRM solutions for government contractors and AEC firms. With over 30 years of experience in tech and finance, Steve shares a unique perspective on how AI is reshaping proposal writing and contract acquisition in the AEC industry.Steve unpacks findings from Unanet’s AEC Inspire report, revealing a growing divide between tech-forward firms and those lagging in digital maturity. He discusses the pivotal role of data—not just its management, but its availability—in enabling AI-driven efficiencies. From surfacing relevant past projects to generating 70% of a proposal draft, AI is already cutting response times by up to 70% and halving costs.Listeners will gain practical advice on how AEC firms can get started with AI, avoid common pitfalls, and plan for a future where integrated, intelligent platforms redefine business development workflows.If you’re looking to boost efficiency, reduce proposal fatigue, and future-proof your firm, this episode offers both inspiration and actionable strategies.Connect with Steve on LinkedIn and learn more about Unanet at unanet.com.Watch the interview on YouTube.

  • From Fantasy to Fact: Cristina Andersson on Our Robotic Future
    Send us a textIn this episode of the AI AEC Show, I sat down with Cristina Andersson, a Finnish robotics pioneer whose journey from educator to EU-level robotics strategist is as fascinating as it is inspiring. From launching the EU Robotics Week in Finland to advising ministries on AI and robotics in healthcare, Cristina has a front-row seat to the robotics revolution.Our conversation dove into the current state and future of robotics, especially as service robots become more intelligent and ubiquitous. Cristina highlighted how robots could free up medical professionals from mundane tasks, like hauling laundry or managing logistics, allowing them to focus on patient care.We also touched on the construction sector’s cautious but growing adoption of robotics. Cristina envisions robots monitoring job sites, sorting demolition waste, and helping workers as exoskeletons to reduce physical strain. It starts with fantasy, she said, then fact-finding and ROI calculations. But it always begins with imagination.One of the most striking takeaways was Cristina’s belief that robots could one day help the elderly live independently longer; not by doing everything for them, but by acting as motivational companions.Cristina reminded us that robotics is not about replacing humans but empowering them. As AI becomes the brain behind increasingly human-like machines, it's time we reimagine not only how we build but also who we build with.Connect with Cristina on LinkedIn and visit her homepage at cristinaandersson.com.
