Nemetschek Group unveils its vision for deploying artificial intelligence for every stage of the building lifecycle

This technology is expected to significantly increase creativity and productivity in the fields of architecture, engineering, construction, building management and operation. By simplifying complex tasks, it will allow professionals to focus more on innovative design and efficient project execution.

According to Yves Padrines, CEO of the Nemetschek Group: “Our goal is to provide architects, engineers, contractors, and building managers with the tools they need to expand their professional skills. We are convinced that combining human intelligence with advanced artificial intelligence can push the boundaries. By integrating this new layer of artificial intelligence into our core solutions, we aim to create new opportunities and fundamentally improve workflow efficiency.”

The Artificial Intelligence Layer developed by Nemetschek Group will leverage the power of the secure cloud to efficiently assist users with simple queries or complex tasks. Through optimized data management and providing accurate answers, the AI ​​layer will offer a wide range of use cases, from design ideation to task automation. Modular, it is capable of understanding natural language enabling fast and accurate answers while transforming and improving user interaction with Nemetschek products.

Designed for seamless integration, the AI ​​Layer brings together a wide range of essential functions: intelligent automation, which plays a central role with the automatic execution of tasks; adaptive project management; and natural language interaction, thus simplifying increasingly complex workflows. Furthermore, AI enhances decision-making through data-driven insights and supports design processes by facilitating design iterations, model creation, and scenario simulations. This leads to more innovative and creative project outcomes. All of these features enable more precise planning and better execution for a more sustainable construction process and a better-built world.

The focus will be on user experience to make interactions more intuitive and efficient. In addition, the modular AI layer will integrate collaboration tools that will promote enhanced communication between stakeholders throughout the construction project lifecycle, with these tools being continuously improved based on user feedback.

For Julian Geiger, Vice President of AI & Transformation Products, Nemetschek Group: “We are excited to introduce this AI-powered layer that will be integrated across all of our brands and products, bringing new levels of intelligence and automation to our ecosystem. Our intention is simple: to make creativity more creative and productivity more productive. By integrating AI into our solutions, we enable more efficient workflows, more accurate decision-making, and more personalized experiences to empower professionals to perform at their best.”

Nemetschek's Vision for Ethical AI

Nemetschek’s vision for ethical AI is based on three core principles: transparency, data protection, and trustworthiness. AI decisions must be understandable to the user and accompanied by clear explanations. To ensure privacy, strict data security measures are in place, including explicit user consent and data anonymization. AI models will be rigorously tested and validated before implementation, and human oversight will be systematically implemented for sensitive areas. In addition, clear accountability must be established within the organization. In addition, AI supports sustainable development and social well-being by helping users adapt to new challenges and changing professional requirements.

For Charlie Sheridan, Director of AI and Data, Nemetschek Group: “As a software company in the AEC/O industry, we are committed to ensuring that our AI technologies are developed ethically, with a focus on transparency, fairness, and accountability. We are committed to creating AI systems that are explainable and free of bias, fostering inclusivity for all users. Data privacy and security are at the core of our AI initiatives, and we are implementing robust safeguards to ensure the security of sensitive information.”
