Social Media, Compliance, and Data with AI ✨

Hello everyone,

The AEC industry is undergoing real transformation—not by simply adopting AI, but by rethinking the problems first.

Here’s what’s changing, and how we’re helping:

📌 Rethinking Social Media: Visibility ≠ Strategy

Nearly every AEC firm is on social media, yet only 46% say it drives real leads. Why?

• Generic content with no clear goals

• Underuse of paid campaigns (just 13.9% of stagnant firms use them)

• Low human connection—yet human-centered posts get 2–3x more engagement

To address this, we built the Social Media Assistant for AEC:

✅ Creates strategic campaign plans
✅ Aligns content with business outcomes
✅ Turns visibility into measurable results

📌 AI-Driven Code Compliance: From Weeks to Minutes

Regulatory compliance is essential—but inefficient:

• 24% of new home costs come from regulations

• Permits and inspections delay projects for weeks

The Code & Compliance Checker uses AI to:

✅ Flag code issues early in design
✅ Cut down costly revisions
✅ Ensure compliance before submission

📌 The Hidden Cost of Data in AEC

Data issues are not just annoying—they're expensive:

• $15.8B lost annually due to poor interoperability

• 48% of rework tied to bad data

• Scan-to-BIM can cost owners $250K+

Why? Teams treat data conversion as a one-off task instead of a long-term asset.

The AEC Data Strategy Assistant helps you:

✅ Estimate conversion costs up front
✅ Make ROI-driven decisions
✅ Output structured, proof-of-concept data
