In this episode of The ConTech Crew, Jeff Sample and Jonathan Marsh get into the future of construction design automation with Aaron Szymanski and Francesco Iorio from Augmenta.ai. Augmenta.ai is pioneering AI-driven solutions to optimize the design and engineering of construction projects, starting with electrical Raceway systems. Their mission? To automate detailed, constructible designs and revolutionize efficiency in the industry.

The conversation covers the origins of Augmenta.ai, the challenges in digitalizing construction workflows, and the potential for AI to transform decision-making in design. The guests explain how their AI system learns from real-world contractor input, refines designs, and drastically reduces modeling time all while enhancing accuracy. If you’re interested in the intersection of construction, AI, and automation, this is an episode you don’t want to miss!
