ADD CONSTRUCTION INTELLIGENCE

Add construction reality into the first design conversation

Your insights and data feeds directly into the model. Designs are updated with construction data in real time to inform design, not react to it.

REDUCE RISK

Flag risks before they're a issue

Flag risks before they’re a issue

Construction issues and project constraints shouldn’t live outside of design context. Add your insights directly into context and save everyone the headaches downstream.

ACCESSIBLE TOOLS

Don’t let tools be a barrier

Arcol runs in a browser. No installs and no complex learning curve. You can join a project and be contributing in minutes.

"With Arcol, we're moving twice as fast and the numbers are always right. What used to take us weeks now happens in the first week."

“The shift from static design development to live, iterative density testing has become a genuine game changer for how we work with clients”

Features that General Contractors love

Quantities and takeoffs

A live proforma recalculates as the model changes. You don’t wait for a separate cost run to know if an iteration still pencils - you see it immediately.

Excel integration

Connect tables and quantities to your Excel sheets, giving you a live connection between your work sheets and the model.

Design options

Easily iterate and compare the impact of different designs to see which option yields the best results.

Live updating presentations

Never question numbers or design versions again. Presentations in Arcol update automatically as designs change.

What is Constructible Design?

Constructible Design is building design with cost and construction feasibility in the same loop.

Cost is not a constraint on design. It's an input

Cost belongs in conceptual design as an input the designer uses, and as a number the estimator can work with while the scheme is still cheap to change.
