1. 400 tools. 12 months. One big insight: software alone isn’t the answer - WORKFLOWS are.

Most architects struggle to keep up with the hundreds of new tools hitting the market. I do it full-time, and even then it’s a challenge. A single project workflow today might touch everything from generative design to AI rendering, sustainability tools, BIM authoring, and more.

That’s why I’ve mapped out the modern workflow stack:
Generative Design → Early Stage Design Tools → Sustainability → BIM Authoring → AI Rendering → Presentation → AI Productivity, Data & Knowledge Management

The real trick isn’t using every app, it’s knowing which combinations actually deliver value.

Why This Matters

Depth of knowledge makes the difference. Here’s what I bring:

1.The world’s largest AEC software database (1,600+ tools and growing).

2.Technology Strategies for architects to define their current “as is” state.

3.Bespoke workflow design for practices who want to save time & money.

Your Next Step

Whether you want to:
✅ Streamline your practice and reduce license costs.
✅ See what’s possible with the latest tech stacks.
✅ Or have a tailored workflow built for your team…

You’ve got two options:
👉 Explore the database yourself: https://contechdatabase.softr.app/
👉 Want me to design your stack? Hit reply! E: [email protected]

2. Bundles are the Future!

What if you could get two powerful design tools and one streamlined workflow, for 20% off? I’ve brought together two of the smartest early-stage design platforms into one exclusive bundle:

🦒 Giraffe Technology → Map, design, and analyse directly on real-world maps. Instantly see yield, area, and metrics as you sketch. Perfect for rapid feasibility studies.

🎨 Fenestra → Transform sketches and models into stunning, client-ready visuals in minutes with AI (including Nano Banana, the latest AI model).

Together they give you:
✅ Faster feasibility studies
✅ Real-time collaboration and metrics
✅ Beautiful visuals for client pitches
✅ A seamless workflow from idea → design → presentation

Think of it as: one tool to design smarter, one tool to tell the story beautifully.

🔥 Special Launch Offer: 20% OFF both tools!
£375.64/year (normally £469.92) / $506.78/year (normally $633.97)

Feedback on this idea is welcome! What would you like to see together?

3. Access to my ConTech Database

I have been collecting new software into a database which I have always wanted to enable access for architects, engineers and construction professionals to search and find the right solutions for them. I have now built front end for this and you can access this below! Access the World’s Largest AEC ConTech Software Database - ADDD

This structured database of 1,600+ AEC & ConTech solutions is searchable by:
🔎 Tag
🔎 Category
🔎 Keyword

Each entry includes:
✔️ Software name
✔️ Intro text
✔️ Website link
✔️ Careers page (if available)
✔️ Company logo and product images

Whether you’re an architect, AEC consultant, or startup, you can finally cut through the noise and find the tools that actually fit. It will save you so much time.

To charge or not to charge!

There is a fee to access this database but I am in two minds about this - due to the amount of data enclosed, making this open for free is tricky. However charging - even the small amount I am for this - has appeared to put people off. I would love your feedback on this!

Would you pay a small fee for a database like this, or should it stay free?
