TRUSTED BY FORWARD THINKING AEC TEams

Construction intellingence in designs from day one

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

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

Design tools for everyone

Arcol is built to be used by anyone in building design, not just architects.

"Arcol is construction, architecture, and development all in one package. It does everything you need from design to cost estimates and gets everyone aligned at the start."

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

David Cincotta

Designer at Gorman and Company

Features that Precon teams 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.

Zones

Assign structural zones to your building for accurate detailed quantities. Zones automatically update as you adjust the design.

Uniformat

Quantities are extracted as Uniformat WSB line items, matching industry standards. Every line item can be visualized in the model, giving you confidence in your numbers.

Excel integration

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

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.
