Ask your portfolio anything: How AI is changing what AEC firms and their clients can do with their design data

For years, AEC firms and their clients have generated terabytes of design data, with most of it locked inside BIM models, accessible only to trained experts through painstaking manual review. Simple-sounding requests, like "Which elements are missing a Uniformat classification" or "Compare quantities between Version X and Version Y," could take days, or even weeks, to answer.

Back in June, we looked at the foundational challenge: unlocking that model data from proprietary formats and ecosystems to get it pipeline-ready. This month, we look at the payoff. Once that data foundation is in place, those same tasks run in minutes, not weeks. And more importantly, it enables queryable portfolio intelligence. When an AEC firm, or an asset owner, can finally query and analyze their entire portfolio at once, what becomes possible?

Join us to see practical AI in AEC, at the source, in action and hear how firms like Cushman & Wakefield are already using it to unlock design intelligence for their clients.

Speakers:

• Jeff Tice, Director of Design Tools & Innovation, Cushman & Wakefield
• Jonathon Broughton, Community Advocacy, Speckle
• Virginia Senf, Growth, Speckle

Agenda:

1. Welcome: Practical AI in AEC & the portfolio intelligence opportunity
2. Why the shift from "AI as pilot" to AI on trusted model data changes what's possible and what happens when you can finally query an entire portfolio, not just one project
3. The owner's perspective: Jeff Tice, Cushman & Wakefield, Director of Design Tools & Innovation at one of the world's largest commercial real estate firms, shares their vision for design intelligence across their full capital portfolio and shows how Cushman & Wakefield uses AI to produce workplace analytics reports.
4. Live demo: Speckle AI in action

Who this is for

• BIM and digital delivery leads who need answers out of their model data, not just clean geometry
• Design and delivery teams tired of re-deriving numbers they already modeled
• Owners and asset managers who want live, comparable data across a capital program instead of inconsistent supplier reports
