AI in the Built Environment: FREE Download

ADDDitive: Transforming Practice: Tools, Strategies, and Insights for the Digital Architect.

In partnership with

Welcome to ADDDitive!

👋 Hi there,

AI in architecture isn’t “coming soon” it’s already here. But to be honest … most of us don’t fail because we don’t have enough tools. We fail because it’s hard to know which ones actually help. That’s exactly what I’m tackling in this edition:

  • A brand-new AI in the Built Environment infographic (to cut through the hype).

  • Access soon my 1,600+ AEC & ConTech tools database (the resource I wish I had 10 years ago).

  • A free guide on how to move into ConTech careers (dropping September).

  • Highlights from 400+ fresh ConTech jobs on AEC Tech Jobs.

I’m keeping it practical, honest, and hopefully useful, so you can spend less time chasing shiny tools and more time making them work for you.

As always, if you’ve got questions or just want to talk tech and design, hit reply, I’d love to hear from you!

Alright, let’s dive in 👇

1. AI in the Built Environment

AI isn’t coming to architecture - it’s already here. The question is: are you ready to use it?

Right now, I see so many architects and AEC professionals struggling with the AI hype:

  • Chasing too many tools

  • Feeling overwhelmed by the noise

  • Unsure where AI actually adds value

Here’s the truth: you don’t need every tool. What you need is clarity on where AI fits into YOUR project lifecycle. That’s why, as part of the RED Foundation AI Steering Group, I’ve helped create the AI in the Built Environment infographic.

It maps out exactly how AI is being applied across:
🏗 Land Acquisition
✏️ Design
🔧 Construction
🏢 Operations

The Simplest Way To Create and Launch AI Agents

Imagine if ChatGPT and Zapier had a baby. It’d be ridiculously smart… and probably named Lindy.

With Lindy, you can spin up AI agents in minutes to handle all the stuff you’d rather not—like lead qual, cold outreach, web scraping, and other “ugh” tasks. It’s like hiring a whole team that never sleeps, never complains, and never asks for PTO.

Lindy’s agents are ready to take on support tickets, data entry, lead enrichment, scheduling, and more. All so you can get back to the fun part: building your business.

Ready to hand off the busy work? Build your first AI agent today and join thousands of businesses already saving time (and sanity) with automation that actually works.

2. Access to my Database Coming Soon!

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 we’ll be sharing this in future newsletters! This will be a central unique and one of a kind resource and I’m excited to share this!

Why We Fail With Tools (and How to Fix It)

We don’t fail because of a lack of tools, we fail because we don’t know which ones actually solve our problems. The real challenge isn’t access, it’s clarity. Clarity on which solution:

  • Fits your workflow

  • Matches your project stage

  • Solves your real-world problems

That’s why I built something I wish I’d had 10 years ago: a structured database of 1,600+ AEC & ConTech solutions, 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.

👉 Access is opening this week. This is likely the largest resource of its kind, continuously updated to help you focus on the right tools, fast.

Stay tuned.

3. How to move into ConTech FREE resource - helping you move into a new career

Over the past couple of years one of the key things that people ask me is how they move into the construction technology software field. So I thought I would create a resource which helps people to understand what they need to know, training and Resources required, and case studies to show how other people have completed this move. I’ll be sharing this unique resource in September!

Contents include:

  1. Understand the opportunity

  2. Why consider the move?

  3. Key skills to develop

  4. Roadmap steps

  5. Strategic mindset shifts

  6. Resources

  7. Conclusion

4. New Roles in ConTech roles shared each week
