Latest enhancements to the Augmenta Construction Platform (ACP) promise faster automated routing and coordination for electrical contractors
Augmenta has enhanced its Augmenta Construction Platform (ACP), a fully agentic design environment that automates electrical raceway routing and coordination, and integrates with existing Revit workflows.
According to the Toronto-based firm, the new updates make the product substantially easier
and faster to use and enable it to generate designs that more closely meet strict project requirements.
New features include enhanced schedule creation capabilities, intelligent routing guidance, and improved solution inspection tools.
“Today’s ACP is a direct result of our close collaboration with our clients on the front lines — the electrical contractors and engineers who are racing to meet unprecedented demand,” said Aaron Szymanski, co-founder and CPO of Augmenta. “This platform is everything they need to cut their BIM modelling time in half and take on more work, all while accelerating project delivery and enabling rapid value-engineering for their hyperscale clients.”
According to Augmenta, by automating the most time-consuming pieces of the electrical design puzzle, what previously took contractors six to eight weeks per phase can now be completed in days.
Augmenta plans to expand the capabilities of the platform to include tooling for the mechanical and plumbing trades.
Meanwhile, Augmenta has announced the first-ever building to be constructed with an AI-designed electrical system: the Mt. Hope Elementary School in Lansing, Michigan.
According to the company, by optimising routes for thousands of feet of conduit, Augmenta’s AI design platform delivered 25% faster design, 15% less material waste, and one month reduction in prefabrication readiness.
“Augmenta is a game-changer for efficiency,” said Kyle Sponseller, president, C&R Electric, the electrical contractor on the project. “We witnessed remarkable time savings of over 100 hours in the design phase, and our prefabrication-ready drawing time was cut down by a full month.”
