Smart Design
Starts Early
DesignXBuild analyses architectural drawings to automatically generate construction material quantities, helping teams understand cost, embodied carbon and thermal performance from the earliest design stages.
How DesignXBuild Works
Upload & Analyze
Instant Architectural Intelligence
Upload your 2D drawings and DesignXBuild interprets the design, identifying key building elements and preparing them for quantity generation and analysis.
Quantify & Optimize
Structured Quantity Generation
Generate structured quantity outputs and explore how design choices impact cost, embodied carbon and thermal performance. Compare build-ups, test materials and make informed decisions earlier in the process.
Upload a design. Instantly understand its cost and performance.
Why Architectural Pioneers
Choose DesignXBuild
Move Faster at Every Stage
Replace weeks of manual estimation with automated quantity generation directly from your drawings. Understand cost, carbon and performance in minutes, keeping projects moving from concept through feasibility without delay.
Reduced Risk Early in Design
Evaluate design options before they're locked in. Compare materials and build-ups to see how choices impact cost, embodied carbon and thermal performance, helping you make better informed decisions upfront.
Streamline Workflows and Collaboration
Work from a shared understanding of the design without constant back-and-forth. Align architects, clients and consultants earlier in the process, reducing miscommunication and avoiding unnecessary iterations.
See what our customers say.
"I often make key design decisions before I really know what things will cost - which leads to redesigns after tender returns or cost plans. This platform will help mitigate that."
"There's no hard science behind early-stage costing - just intuition about what feels achievable. But late-stage cost changes and a lack of early carbon insight are real frustrations"
"We design with cost and material efficiency in mind - but clients often realise too late that their budget won't stretch, leaving little choice but costly redesign."
"I always try and make design decisions based on initial budget. But still find it frustrating when costs come in as builders seem to make up a price based on whichever way the wind is blowing unfortunately."
Built to support better design decisions from day one.
For architects. For developers. For estimators.
