3 Reasons Architects Are Switching to AI Workflows

Jul 23, 2025

Architects are under more pressure than ever. Tight timelines, complex codes, and increasingly detailed permit requirements have turned what used to be a creative process into a logistical maze.

That’s why firms are turning to AI — not to replace their work, but to support it.

At Spacial, we’ve built a platform that integrates directly into your workflow. It helps you move faster, avoid costly rework, and get permit-ready sets out the door with confidence.

Here are three reasons architects are making the shift:


1. Engineering, Automated

Gone are the days of sending off floor plans and waiting weeks for stamped drawings.

Spacial uses AI-powered automation to transform 2D plans into engineered structural and MEP sets — complete with material specs and code-ready layouts. That means faster submittals, tighter coordination, and a clearer path from concept to permit.

We don’t just speed things up. We make engineering predictable, repeatable, and accurate.


2. Code Validation, Built In

Most rework starts with a missed detail — a forgotten setback, an incorrect span, a requirement that wasn’t visible until a plan checker flagged it.

Spacial fixes that by checking your drawings against local code rules in real time. Every line is validated against jurisdiction-specific requirements, helping you spot issues early and avoid unnecessary corrections later.

It’s like having a permit reviewer in your corner from the very first sketch.


3. Time Back on Your Side

Time is the most valuable thing a design team has — and also the most often wasted.

With Spacial, firms are reclaiming up to 70% of the time they used to spend chasing down changes, coordinating consultants, and waiting for engineering returns. That’s time you can put back into better design, deeper collaboration, or moving on to your next project faster.

We’re not here to reinvent the way you work. We’re here to support it — and make every hour count.
