Generative AI in Architecture: Unlocking Creativity and Efficiency
The combination of AI and BIM is changing the game for architects and engineers. With generative AI, design becomes faster, more efficient and more creative. Architects can input specific parameters—such as design goals, constraints and preferences—and the AI generates thousands of design iterations in a fraction of the time. This opens up a whole new […]
Redlines: The Backbone of Successful Project Execution
At Smart Knock, details are everything. Redlining isn’t just about catching errors—it’s a crucial process that refines each design, ensuring precision and quality. When a design shifts from concept to construction, it undergoes several revisions, each noted by redlines. These redlines, created either by hand or digitally (like using BlueBeam’s revcloud), highlight the adjustments needed […]
The Importance of Laser Scanning in Renovation Projects
In the realm of renovations, historic preservation, and adaptive reuse endeavors, having access to accurate information about existing building conditions is crucial. And, while record drawings serve as a valuable resource for understanding a building’s history and concealed elements, relying solely on them can pose significant risks. We understand the importance of thorough planning and […]
